Palm Treo Pro Coming to US Through Sprint?

If Sprint's website is any indication, and it probably is, the Palm Treo Pro will be arriving to the service sometime in the near to far future. There's no formal page for the Europe-only handset at this time, but it's been spotted in a product drop-down menu (pictured here). If you've been waiting to upgrade your Palm on your Sprint contract, know that the currently available 800W is basically the same thing. Both handsets run Windows Mobile and feature a 320x320 screen, GPS and Wi-Fi. The Pro is just a bit thinner with a nicer battery. [Sprint via brighthand]

Palm Treo 800w Gets Bluetooth Voice Dialing Via Software Update

Treo 800w users can finally do voice dialing over their Bluetooth headsets with this software update pack. One caveat is that you'll need to have the TREO800w-1.03-SPNT as your current "Software Version" under your About screen, so if you don't, you'll have to update to that first. What's the point of using your Bluetooth headset in the car for safety reasons when you have to look down at your phone to dial anyway? [Palm]

Palm Treo 800w Prematurely Sold at Sprint Stores for $350

At least a few Sprint stores loosed Palm's Windows Mobile-powered Treo 800w early, for $350 with a two-year contract and rebate. It's still $600 without. Specs confirmed by field reports: Wi-Fi, EV-DO Rev. A, GPS, 320x320 screen and a 2MP camera. The keyboard is apparently improved, with a lower profile, which goes with the 800w's thinner design. Maybe if you're nice, your local Sprint store will let one go now too. [WM Experts via Electronista]
