19 Aug 09 Palm Eos Ready to Ship in October?

Remember that Palm Eos phone we were talking about way before the Pre actually arrived in Sprint stores? Well it looks like a GSM/HSPA version of it is scheduled for an October release. It seems that AT&T is the carrier that will launch the phone and Compal will send anywhere from 400,000 to 500,000 Eos phones to the USA. In case you’re still a CDMA/EV-DO kind of person then you should expect Verizon or Sprint to launch the Eos sometime next year.

What do you think folks, will the Eos be even more successful than the Pre? We have no official features to work with so far but at least we know that Palm has opened submissions for the App Catalog. By October we can expect lots of applications to be available in the App Catalog which means future Eos owners will have a lot more apps ready to be downloaded than the first Pre buyers did. What about you? Are you going to get a Palm Eos phone later this year?
