First Spyshots of the Palm Treo 800w

Remember that rumored mockup of the Palm Skywriter we showed you last week? Yeah, this spyshot (courtesy of aliased citizen Shadowmite) of the finished Treo 800w shows the prototype was pretty spot on with the button layout of this WinMo phone. While unconfirmed, the 800w is expected to run WinMo 6.1 on a 400 MHz processor with 128 MB of RAM and have 256 MB of flash memory. It's also rumored to introduce a few firsts for the Palm brand — namely EVDO Rev.A, GPS, and Wi-Fi. More »

No New Palm Treo Handsets Until Late Summer

Electronista reminds me of a bit I missed from last week's Palm earnings call. Palm CEO Ed Colligan said that there wouldn't be any new Treos til late Summer. I'm not sure if that means announce or release, but I'll take that as a sign that Palm, who hasn't done anything new in hardware since the Centro, and anything really new in software since forever, is cooking up something greater than a mere revision.

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 »

RIM Device Users Are Having a Gay Old Time

A survey of business smartphone users has declared those using BlackBerries to be the most satisfied. Palm and Samsung offerings both drew in second place. The main six areas that were surveyed included OS, physical design, ease of operation, audio quality, battery life and utility feature set. RIM excelled in areas concerning battery life and OS efficiency. The Palm Treo's keyboard managed to bag some plus points, as did general voice quality of devices running the Windows Mobile OS. The survey went on to predict the future of the smartphone market: More »

Palm Partners With Garmin For New GPS Navigator

Today Palm announced that a partnership with Garmin has produced a new Palm GPS Navigator with Garmin Mobile XT software. Users of Palm smartphones like the Treo and Centro can now enjoy access to over 6 million points of interest and turn-by-turn voice prompted directions, as well as free access to Garmin Online for info like traffic updates, fuel and hotel prices, and weather forecasts (that's right...free). At this point, the TomTom version is still available from Palm, but that will most likely change when the Garmin version hits this November for $249. [Press Release]

7 Takes On Palm Centro

Released just yesterday, the Palm Centro has our eyes for a few reasons. First, their Treo smartphones have some of the highest ratings in smartphone history on review sites like CNET. So when Palm essentially shrinks their famous Treo and drops the price to $99 with contract, we have to take a closer look.

So hit the jump for our Frankenreview on the Palm Centro—seven takes that will let you know the whole story.

AT&T Palm Centro?

There's an image floating around the web today of a Palm Centro running AT&T software. Now, we're just trying to figure out if this an actual future GSM model or just the bastard offspring off a failed deal between Palm and AT&T. Given the trumpeting of Sprint exclusivity, the latter is more likely. Thoughts? (Here's how to comment.) [Gear Diary]

Linux Based Palm OS Pushed Out to End of Year '08

Yesterday during Palm's Q1-08 Conference call, CEO Ed Colligan dropped some tidbits about their release schedule for the Linux-based Palm OS
"[The Palm Centro] team is now totally focused on delivering our next generation platform, which we expect to have available by the end of the next calendar year."
By the end of 2008? Are you serious? This OS needs to be out right now, not a year from now. Hopefully with the addition of the Centro & Foleo team they will be able to get it out the door a little faster. [Palm Info Center]

Palm Treo 500v Hands-On Video

The guys over at PDA Expertos in Spain got a hands-on with the Palm Treo 500v (which we saw unboxed and groped), flipping through the Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone UI as well as taking a quick tour around the body near the end. There's no audio, unfortunately, but from what we see the UI is quite responsive even if it is WinMo. If the reviews come in just as good, this is shaping up to be a good small everyman's smartphone.

Treo 500 Early Impressions (Verict: Solid)
