Palm's Ordering Up Millions Of Smartphones For 2009

Two Chinese-language news services, the Commercial Times and the China Economic News Service, are both reporting that Palm has placed orders for several million units of smartphones aimed at a 2009 release. Unfortunately for Palm OS fans, all these phones are going to be running Windows Mobile, which leads Treo Central to guess that it could be the next-gen Windows Mobile Treo (850w?). Or maybe, just maybe, a Windows Mobile phone with the form factor of the smaller Treos. The 800w is nice, but consumers really like the small phones. [Digitimes via Treo Central]

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]

Latest by Tamar Weinberg: I would just like to give shout outs to the photographer of that picture since he's my husband. ;) When you compare the 800w the Treo 755p, you get a lighter and much sexier device. I can't rid myself of PalmOS though. @JJ4: Interesting. My husband's 800w has better battery more »

Leaked Sprint Roadmap Shows Palm Treo 800W, BlackBerry Curve And Possibly the HTC Touch Pro

Here's an alleged upcoming Sprint roadmap for Q3 2008 that shows several interesting phones and several lowbies. What you're probably looking forward to is the Palm Treo 800W and the BlackBerry Curve in red on July 13, but there's also the blue LG Rumor, MotoRAZR VE20, Sanyo Katana Eclipse, Samsung M320, Samsung M220, Moto Renegade V950, HTC MP6950 and Moto i365. The HTC MP6950 sticks out to us since the current HTC Touch is the MP6900, so this probably makes it the Touch Pro with slide-out keyboard. We'd definitely want one of those. [Sprint Users]

Latest by BenG9810: @Samifumi: Everyone has their opinion.. But when you are trying to compare a "crappy service" to another cell phone company you're hilarious. For instance EVERYONE knows that Sprint and Verizon share towers and a lot of time use the same towers in the same area. But NO ONE complains about more »

Latest by pdditty: @sdgmcdon: I dont understand what you are trying to say. It sounds like you're trying to be sarcastic, "math priceless". All I was saying that the new Treo should be priced at no more than $149 to be competitive in todays market. With the public seeing how much the iPhone more »

More Treo 800w Details Possibly Leaked

There's been a slow trickle of details on the upcoming Treo 800w, but this poster on WMExpert's forums seems to know a little more than everyone else about the phone. He says the 800w will look like a Palm Centro with rounded corners and thin body. It will ship with Windows Mobile 6, but be upgradeable to 6.1 when that hits. More »
