More Information on New Treos
Centro and new Treos on the Horizon
Palm Centro
A device that is likely the Palm Centro will debut on Sunday, October 14, if the report on Phone News is correct. This smartphone --which was first unveiled last week -- will be a low-cost model that will also be Palm's smallest smartphone ever; nevertheless, it will still include a full keyboard, touchscreen, and EV-DO.
This unconfirmed report says this device will be part of the Treo 500 series, which is possibly the name it will go by internally at Palm and Sprint. Carriers are increasingly giving consumer-friendly product names to smartphones, while still using a more exact designation internally. For example, the BlackBerry Pearl's internal designation is the 8100.
Palm Treo 800w
Rumors have been circulating for some time that Palm intends to release a new high-end smartphone to be called the Treo 800w. If Phone News is correct, then this has been pushed back until some time during the first three months of next year
According to rumor, this may be the first Treo with integrated Wi-Fi and the first Windows Mobile device with a 320-by-320-pixel touchscreen.
In addition, the 800w will reportedly include EV-DO Rev. A and a built-in GPS receiver.
Sprint will definitely be the first carrier to offer the Centro, but it's possible Verizon may release the Treo 800w before Sprint does.
