  Palm Treo 700p to be launched by Sprint and Verizon

"Like the existing 700w, which runs Windows Mobile OS, the 700p uses EvDO networking, offers a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, and stocks 128 Mbyte of memory, all driven by a 312MHz Intel XScale processor. One benefit for the Palm version is ability for laptop users to use it as a wireless modem, connected with either a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable or Bluetooth wireless.

Despite their similarities, the Treo models could appeal to different users.

The 700w and 700p are comparable in the sense they are both designed to be able to handle anything really well, but I expect the platforms to drift toward different segments," Linsalata said. "For mobile enterprise, Microsoft has a stronger hold, while the Palm version could drift toward a more balanced role." Even in the US, the Treo 700p is not yet in stores. Palm said telephonycarriers Sprint and Verizon Wireless would soon announce pricing and availability." Via techworld.

Palm will have a major hit on their hands with the Treo 700p being launched by both Sprint and Verizon. I can't wait.

***UPDATE***The original link was removed by Techworld, but someone on Treocentral saved it as a PDF.

 

Comments:
Not only was the Techworld article pulled from the web, but the thread that started this on treocentral's Future Treos forum was also inexplicably deleted by Moderators.

(you can still find it with search, the title was "Techworld article states 700p as fact, and quotes Palm")

Perhaps GadgetsOnTheGo.net should do a story about how TreoCentral censors its forums if the content is incompatible with their commerical partners interests. I would think that TreoCentral readers would want to know that they cannot have a free discussion if it is incompatible with unknown commercial interests. They certainly aren't going to find out that that is the case on TreoCentral unless they happen to notice posts containing useful content being deleted.
 
My mistake -- the thread wasn't deleted on treocentral -- it was just moved to the brand new 700p forum. Sorry bout that, TreoCentral!
