Sprint may be discontinuing the Palm Treo 755p

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:54:32 +0000

Sad as it may be some (not sad at all, for others), all signs point to Sprint bidding the Palm Treo 755p a final farewell. The speculation is based on the fact that Sprint is no longer offering or listing the Palm Treo 755p on its website. The phasing out of the Palm Treo 755p on [...]

Verizon goes live with Palm Treo 755p; charges arm and leg

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:26:29 +0000

Faithful Verizon subscribers, rejoice! Following on recent certification test-approvals , the long-awaited Palm Treo 755p has finally hit the nation’s largest CDMA network (and No. 2 carrier) in full Verizon-guise. With a fresh new branding scheme and that oh-so-coveted (you should be detecting a hint of sarcasm at this point) Verizon logo emblazoned on the face, the Palm Treo 755p is now being offered for about $150 more than what Sprint customers pay. At $400, the $50 rebate doesn’t do much for the Palm Treo 755p’s price point, but a good data plan should bring down the price-tag to about $300. To bring you up to date on this whole Palm/Verizon mess. The Palm Treo 755p on Verizon’s network is the unnamed device that Palm blamed for their 2007 shortfalls. And, with the Treo 755p hitting the CDMA network at an outrageous price point and much later than expected , Verizon customers must be feeling somewhat burned by Big Red. Especially considering that the Verizon-branded Palm Treo 755p offers absolutely nothing over any other Treo 755p on the market. Excuse us while we shake our heads in disappointment.

Palm finally pushes Treo 755p through Verizon Wireless certification process

Well, ain’t this a bit of unexpected good news from the ailing Treo-maker. It seems that recent layoff plans and negative quarterly results haven’t stopped Palm from continuing to push the Palm Treo 755p through Verizon Wireless’s certification tests . We’re hearing that the hugely disappointing Treo 755p has been given the thumbs-up to hit Big Red’s network and should be pulling duty as Verizon’s Treo-flagship in the near future - that is, if you still (or ever did) care. It’s too bad the delay of this incredibly unworthy device was the cause of Palm’s continued financial troubles - and precipitated the demise of a portion of Palm’s workforce. Verizon Wireless fans rejoice! Your carrier’s certification process is the root of all those employees’ holiday woes. Hope it was worth it . Was it worth it? Damn.

Verizon blaming delayed Palm Treo 755p for negative Q4 2007 forecast?

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:15:46 +0000

Palm’s shares recently took a bit of a nose-dive on news that an unnamed handset’s delay, coupled with unexpected warranty repairs, will lead to a negative Q4 2007 for the No. 2 national, and largest CDMA, carrier. So, just what mobile phone did Verizon Wireless have in its pipeline and failed to launch? Well, word on the street has it that Verizon’s Palm Treo 755p is to blame. We’re hearing that Verizon has had trouble getting the Palm Treo 755p certified for its CDMA network. And, following on rumors that the Treo 755p was headed to Verizon , it looks like the unrivaled boring-ness of Palm’s high-end (with that incredibly craptastic Palm OS) will be delayed a bit longer. Unfortunate? Yes. Disappointing? Absolutely…not. Hey Palm, get your act together and concentrate on compelling and unique devices. Otherwise, your new equity partner may never see a return on their sizable investment.
