Vodafone taking preorders for Treo 750v

The teaser shot of the keyboard on Voda's site might not be very revealing, but hey, we've got plenty of evidence lined up to know pretty much what's in store for Vodafone customers come September 12 either way. Businessfolk on the carrier's UK site are now being encouraged to preorder the device, which will be "using Vodafone's high-speed 3G network" humming along atop Windows Mobile 5.2. The remainder of the spec sheet (if accurate) is nothing we couldn't have guessed, suggesting a 1.3-megapixel cam (we've heard 2 megapixels thrown around; we'll see), Bluetooth, and that fabulous HSDPA radio, though there's no mention of WiFi -- potentially a deal breaker for some. And for the record, yes, we're figuring that if they panned up on that annoying teaser shot, there'd be no external antenna in sight.

This is the first I have heard of Windows Mobile 5.2.

Is that accurate, and if soo, what are the new features?

I have a copy of the latest business phones brochure from Vodafone in the UK (available in any vodafone store) and inside the front cover it has a full-size shot of the 750. Yes, it has no aerial. Other than that, it looks like a 700 without the aerial. Looks to be about the same size and form-factor.

Palm made the official announcement early today. It's nice that they got rid of the antenna, other than that, I don't see a big improvement over treo 700wx. It still has the same resolution of 240x240.
