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!

pre-vs-pro

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!

What do you think?

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?

Here’s the breakdown of their specs:

Treo Pro

Physically bigger but lighter in weight, dedicated buttons for WiFi and speaker deactivation, micro-USB port, 3.5mm headphone jack, unlocked (no branded software), Sprite Backup, Mobile Office and QuickGPS, Pocket IE, power on via button hit, attract fingerprints both on the casing and the screen, front facing keyboard, $450-500.

AT&T Fuze

Mini-USB port, mute via volume keys which prompts on screen UI settings, hand strap hole, proprietary headphone adapter, branded software, Sprite Backup, Mobile Office and QuickGPS, Pocket IE and Opera, IM application (Yahoo, AIM, MSN), TouchFLO, power on via power only, Attract fingerprints both on the casing and the screen, slide out keyboard, $499.

Verdict

WMExperts says it really comes down to personal preference for them – full keyboard, smaller foot print, larger screen, and a slightly faster processor.
But we all agree, both devices really rock the Windows Mobile scene right now. You can’t go wrong with either!
