Here we go people! The rumors have started to come in about the arrival date of the Pre. Palm has announced that the new smartphone will be available in the first half of the year. Well it looks like that first half of the year means June for some of you. Sprint employees are being trained on that Pre. Here's what Sarah Lucy (a tech journalist) Twitters about it:

i honestly tried to bribe sprint employees to give me an unlocked pre. they're all training on them! i know they have them back there

So what do you think? Do you have a better source? In the mean time we're going to wonder if this tweet is true:

sprint employees told me the pre doesn't come out until JUNE! :(

Is this the new Treo that Palm is getting ready for 2009? They have been plans for the upcoming year, but if they want to sell those phones they ordered, they need some good handsets.

This is the Treo Pro, supposed to work on Windows Mobile. So there's no Palm OS for now. The flash presentation was taken down from Palm's site leaving us wanting for more. We need specs, prices and launch date. In the mean time enjoy the screens!

Earlier today, we posted several leaked photos of the Palm Treo Pro. Well, less than a day later live shots of the phone have hit the web.

As you can see above the Palm Treo Pro is an extremely sleek looking phone running none other than Windows Mobile. But what do we know so far in regards to it's specs?

• 400MHz Processor
• 256MB ROM, 128 MB RAM
• 320x320 Display
• GPS
• Tri-Band 3G, Quad-Band GSM
• 2MP Camera
• Mini USB Port
• 3.5mm Headphone Port
• 1500mah Battery

While none of these specs are completely out of this world, the pure usability of the Treo line, coupled with Windows Mobile could make for a great phone when this thing actually hits the market.

Palm Centro is reported to have surpassed the 2 million sold units barrier. How is that compared to Apple's iPhone sales? Who is going to win an iPhone vs Palm competition?

Provided Palm will continue to update their OS and launch better Centros, they are likely to continue to sell lots of handsets too. Maybe not as many as Apple which appears to learn more and more things about the mobile business and even reinvent it in some cases.

AdMob statistics shows that more mobile ads are served to Palm devices than iPhones, whether we are talking worldwide or USA. Of course Palm has been selling phones for far longer than Apple has but the battle is about to begin.

Looking at both phones, the iPhone seems to have a little advantage at this time, with all the buzz going around it. Palm Centro is still going to be a worthy adversary and its fans will be waiting for lots of upgrades, including touchscreens, but not only.

So congrats to Palm for now, but we're expecting more!

A new ROM update for the Treo 755p has just been released under the name ROM version 1.07. And guess what -- Palm describes it as:

This software update is a tune-up that improves audio, stability, software quality and device usability.

Can't be any vaguer than that. With the way the description's written, the update might be mere bug fixes and the like. But hey, then again, a vague update is better than your OS collecting cobwebs, right? It takes around 45 minutes to completely update to Palm Treo 755p ROM version 1.07. Different installation methods for Windows and Mac are available.

See the update info page.

Palm is taking pains to reach a new customer base. In effect of disappointing sales, and in an effort to rebound, Palm has released an unlocked version of the Treo 500v. The erstwhile Vodafone-exclusive is now available for subscribers of other networks. The Treo 500v runs on Windows Mobile 6, and features a QWERTY keyboard, microSD card slot, and 150MB of onboard memory. Read more about the Treo 500v.

Here is a video introduction I found of Googles Andriod Platform.

Can Palm make a comeback in 2008?, once a almighty company that laughed at its rivals attempts to compete with them, it is now sadly facing the biggest struggle for surival of its live. 2007 has been a very horrible year for Palm and everyone is at a lost for a reason why. Everybody knows Palm, their phones are world class, whole communities (like Apple and Blackberry have) are dedicated discussing everything Palm. God can only hope that it doesn't go the way of Sony's walkmans. But really when you think about it a bit, Palm has still got so much going for it, they cuts cost recently (But Sadly Job cuts), they got a new CEO (Former Apple executive, you can't get better than that), the brands still strong, there products are great and hopefully they will have a million geeks behind them in 2008. I think all they need now is Google Andriod and their set.

It seems that a treocentral forum user, who goes by the name of Malatesta, found some interesting information regarding 4 projects that Palm is currently at work on and one of them is quite possibly the Palm W800. Apparently the user was reading emails exchanged between Palm and the FCC and dug up four code names of current Palm development. He then goes on to explain how he came to his conclusions about how the Palm W800 may very well be on the way. You can head over to treocentral and check out the original forum post to see for yourself.

Verizon Wireless has finally sealed the deal with Palm to include the smartphone Palm Treo 755p under its product line up. This handset is already available for Sprint subscribers for more than 6 months.

Designed to meet the strong demand of business professionals to stay connected all the time, Verizon’s Palm Treo 755p supports Microsoft Direct Push technology to access emails and calendars as quick as possible.

Additionally, it is fully equipped with a QWERTY keyboard for easy Web browsing and e-mail, a 1.3 megapixel camera, color touchscreen, and mobile Google Maps. You can view and even edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.

It comes in exclusive deep blue-green color and is available online and by phone through 1-800-2 JOIN IN. Palm Treo 755p will be available in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores starting January 7, 2008. Retail price is set at $400 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year contract.

Palm's in trouble big trouble once a global leader in producing awesome smartphones, Palm this year has had a very hard time competing in this sector. Even bringing out awesome products such as the Palm treo 755p has not helped there fortunes, basically they have totally stuffed up there marketing and product promotion this year, as well as other companys like RIMM and Apple coming on the scene doing a better job in the sector. Today Palm announced that there earnings that will be reported soon will be down and that a new product that was to be announced before XMAS holidays will be delayed, so there goes the Xmas sales for them. One can only hope their turn around in 2008 will save them.

The Palm Treo 755p smartphone is now available to Iusacell customers in Mexico. This CDMA phone comes equipped with Microsoft Direct Push technology, as well as integrated Google Maps for mobile. The 755p lets users take advantage of the operator's 3G network (supporting speeds up to 3.1 Mbps), with blazing access to the web, email, IM and multimedia apps.

The phone boasts integrated support for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as PDF documents. The full QWERTY keyboard makes text/email entry convenient. We've been following the versatile Treo 755p ever since its FCC approval.

This is the first ever Palm Treo smartphone that Airtel is releasing on its extensive network and it will also be the first Windows Mobile based Treo smartphone to be launched in India.

Palm afficianados (and Vodafone customers) can look forward to the new Palm Treo 500v smartphone unveiled at London today, boasting 3G/UMTS high-speed internet access on the mobile phone. Based on Windows Mobile 6, the Treo 500v features a full-fledged keyboard, support for streaming videos - that's right, YouTube comes to your Palm now - a large screen and apps for IM. Initially available for Vodafone customers in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the UK and South Africa, the Treo 500v is bundled with the usual slew of Microsoft office applications including Outlook. There's also Windows Live for Windows Mobile.

One of the niceties of the Treo 500v is that it allows your laptop to share data access with the mobile phone, effectively letting you stay online within Vodafon's coverage area. There's also Vodafone live!, a portal for news, sports and entertainment. Palm has also thrown in a 2.0 megapixel camera. On board, there's 150 megs of memory, with support for microSD memory cards. Bluetooth support rounds up the feature list.

Available in two colors: glacier white and charcoal gray.

Palm's hotly rumored "Gandolf" will be a larger release than expected, a new leak reveals through updated specs. The Windows Mobile phone keeps a similar form factor and same Vodafone branding as before, but now has a darker color scheme and a bigger screen. It is now a metal-accented smartphone and should officially take its place in the Palm lineup as the Treo 500 series and will come in more than just the white, Windows Mobile 6 version shown in the past.

In addition to Windows Mobile, the Treo 500 will lack a touchscreen and feature 3G internet. The budget emphasis also won't stop the handset from featuring the same 64MB of RAM as the more expensive Treo 700wx or 3G wireless Internet through HSDPA for those on GSM providers.

Also finding its way into the phone would reportedly be a 2-megapixel camera, 256MB of built-in flash for storage, and a Bluetooth transmitter with stereo audio support. Updated release information isn't included, leaving releases beyond Vodafone a mystery.

Electric Pocket's Ringo Mobile, the leading ringtone manager for Pocket PC Phones and Windows Mobile Smartphones, now supports Windows Mobile 6.0. Along with this comes other features and more options for identifying incoming callers.

This new feature lets users identify who is calling with an MP3 or a glance at a picture on the screen. Among the new features of Ringo Mobile is the ability to quickly and easily associate a picture or other graphic to appear when incoming calls arrive.

Ringo has long been the best selling ringtone manager for Palm's Treo smartphones, such as the Palm OS-based Treo 755p and the Windows Mobile-based Treo 750w, with features such as playing MP3 tunes as ringtones and assigning ringtones to individual callers or groups of callers.

Ringo Mobile is available from the Ringo web site at ringomo.com for US$24.95.

Palm has launched their Treo 700wx smartphone in Israel in cooperation with Pelephone, the leader on cellular provider services at Isreal. The phone will be inserted in the CDMA/EV-DO network and is already available at Pelephone stores.

About the smartphone itself, the Treo 700wx features a touch-screen display with 240x240 resolution and comes with the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. It has a QWERTY keyboard to make life easier for everyone, a 1.3 megapixel camera to shoot some cool photos, and supports the usual Bluetooth headsets. Inside there are 64MB of RAM to make it faster, and to store all the data you need to have on the smartphone there is a slot for a SD memory card that can hold 2GB.

Apparently the 800w will features lots of improvements for Sprint users, including EV-DO Rev. A, 320x320 display, 128MB RAM, 256MB flash, Windows Mobile 6, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, an expansion slot, and a 1.3-megapixel camera.
