Not only will Bell be offering the Palm Treo Pro and the Samsung Omnia, but now it looks as though Telus will have them too! Though, I wouldn’t celebrate just yet — looks like Telus is going to be charging more than Bell ($20 and $50, respectively) than Bell, and that’s based on signing up for a 3-year contract, too! Eep. I’m betting that there are more than a few of you out there who aren’t happy about that. But being that these devices are oh-so-cool, will you pay anyway?
Ooh an unboxing! Always exciting. Even more exciting is the fact that its a video of the unboxing of the Sprint (CDMA radio) version of the Palm Treo Pro. This device hasn’t been available in North America until now.
The Palm Treo Pro from Sprint comes loaded up with the newest version of Windows Mobile 6.1 which features the brand new Internet Explorer Mobile.
Thanks to some more leaked information, we now know that the Palm Treo Pro is on its way. The leaked image show us that it will be “available 3/11/09 at Brightpoint and 3/15/09 in Direct Ship” for $549.99, launching a few days earlier than Sprint’s official date (March 15th).
Finally, the Palm Treo Pro has come to Canada and it looks like Bell Mobility will be the first to get it in EV-DO Rev. A.
The Palm Treo Pro has been available as an unlocked phone since last fall, but still has yet to be offered by a wireless carrier in the US but rumour has it that it should be available though Sprint as soon as next month.
This device is now available to Bell Mobility customers for a limited-time price of $100 CAD with a three-year contract.
Two new Windows Mobile phones have gotten official Sprint launch dates!
The long-delayed (due to apparent certification issues) Sprint Palm Treo Pro will now be released into the wild on March 15th. Next in line is the mysterious (and oddly named) HTC Cedar, a WinMo Standard (non-touchscreen) device that has a predicted launch date of June 2009. Nothing else is known at this time, but I’m sure we’ll here more about this pretty little blue handset soon enough!
The folks at Gizmodo have brought up a very good question: Should Sprint drop the Palm Treo Pro with the Palm Pre on its way?
I would personally argue that they’re apples and oranges. They can both appeal to different audiences – WinMo fans, Palm OS fans, QWERTY lovers, and touch screen addicts. Why choose? Keep both, Sprint!
WMExperts have put the Palm Treo Pro up against the AT&T Fuze to see who comes out the champion and it looks like the AT&T Fuze won by the mere skin of its teeth, as the saying goes.
So, how do these two devices measure up to each other?
