We've heard just about every date imaginable for the long-awaited launch of the Palm Treo 700p, so nothing will really shock us now. But according to CNET, the 700p is due to arrive next Monday, May 15th. That's nearly two weeks earlier than the last rumored launch date we heard about, May 28th, but is consistent with earlier rumors that pointed to a Sprint rollout next Monday. At this point, we won't be surprised if both dates turn out to be correct, with an announcement on Monday, and availability in Sprint stores on the 28th.
Crap, I just listed my 650 on feebay. I hope it sells like quickly before the news of the 700p floods the ordinary consumer!
Wheres the Hollywood i think its called its like that minus the antenna i want that gsm unlocked so u know sum1 get at me
Will I be able to use this puppy on Verizon's CDMA network?
The CNET article says only that the 700 will be "unveiled" on Monday -- not that it will be released. This has been the rumor all along.
Sprint's network is CDMA so it shares towers with Verizon
and it will be released May 28th
yawn. bb 8700c fo life, yo!
Palm OS 5? Why would anyone buy it?
Does anybody know when the Palm Treo 700 will be available in Europe ?
can't wait to buy it!
Palm OS 5? Why would anyone buy it?
Cuz even though it is long in the tooth, it is still better than WinMo 5. The real selling point is EV-DO.
Amen, CRH. We still love POS5 because even in spite of its instability, it's generally a more pleasant operating experience than WM5 is, let alone the outdated WMs on older phones. Palm is more consistent across versions, although there are subtle differences; switching versions of Windows CE is almost like learning a new OS in comparison. It's the same reason iPods sell by the millions while more capable players languish on the shelves and shuffle out of business, and it's the same reason Windows still beats Linux on the desktop, and OS X is cutting into Windows: interface trumps (almost) everything.
To the person who loves the BB8700c how in the world do you not see a treo being better? you donwload "chatter-mail" and a treo becomes the "always on" same phone but 100x better! Treo 650 and soon to be treo 700p for life!
but yes I do hate the treo 700w
When Palm gets a major OS update, adds Wi-Fi, Windows Media streaming (Sirius, XM) and a Sling Mobile player, I will switch back. Until then, EVDO isn't enough for me. I'm very happy with my PPC-6700 (saying this as a Palm user since 1999).
But does anyone have info. on when it will arrive for Cingular?
email me: StevenSilverman@emailtreo.com
What are the most important differences between the 650 and 700p? I have the Treo 650 with Cingular. Been happy with it. Would love Wifi support.
People- chill out. The launch date for the Sprint Treo 700p and the Blackberry 7130e still stands at May 28.
I wonder if the 700p is going to be as terrible as the 650p. I have never seen a device that requires you to buy a $15 third party software app just to be able to make your calls audible.
