New Palm Treo 800p in March?
Posted by Doug Smith on 02/2/06 in Smart Phones
After just releasing the 700, Palm doesn’t let any grass grow under their feet! I am especially excited about the increased camera capabilities! Very cool if this is true!
It’s no surprise to hear yet another rumor pop up about a new Palm OS based Treo. This time however, and of course we can’t confirm if it’s true, a regular forum jockey named "slinky" over at TreoCentral says the next Palm Treo will not be a, uh, "p" flavored 700 – instead, Palm will be introducing an entirely new device dubbed the 800p on March 15… the ides of March, a day synonymous with abrupt change. See, slinky claims s/he saw a hush-hush hands-off demo of the "sleek and cool" device in a lobby bar (as these things generally go, right?) and says the new 800p throws down with "fast is an understatement" EV-DO and features 128MB RAM, a WiFi "option," SD expansion, Bluetooth 2.0, an enhanced 320 x 320 display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, external antenna, and is both slimmer and slightly smaller than the current 650 yet still supports the same ol’ accessories. The looks are said to be "very slick" taking design queues from the Motorola Q and will hit the streets for less than $600. Unfortunately, there is no mention of which Palm OS will power the device or if Sprint will nab the exclusive rights this time around. Make of this what you will, but it does jibe a bit with what we’ve heard before about the Lowrider from Palm’s ODM du jour, Inventec Appliance. Hey, we’re just reportin’ what we’re hearing

Ah, yes. Burned. hahaha.
Don’t worry, it happens. I am always a bit timid on posting rumors. If I can’t see the webpage that was removed or get the tip from a trusted source, I shy away.
The Treo 700p post I made today was 1 1/2 after most blogs because I was a little skeptical of the photo.
