It looks like our favorite Windows Mobile tipster is at it again. Roc A Fella is the guy who first brought you the Treo 700w for Verizon Wireless, and then the 8525 for Cingular. Now he brings us the UMTS Treo 750 for Cingular in all its high speed network glory! The device is looking pretty spectacular however nothing is really new from the Vodafone version. It also looks like the same color hardware as the "European exclusive". These devices are making their way around Cingular data support teams currently. Word on the street is it will be some time before its released due to how unstable the Cingular build is compared to the Vodafone version. Be on the lookout for more details!
“it will be some time before its released”… damn that blows.

I guess if I was a Cingular customer, I’d be snapping up the 750v right about now…

hmm… is it just me, or does that screen look a wee bit larger than the 700w/wx?

I can’t believe Cingular is releasing the 680, While the godly figure that is the 750 is within reach

Does anyone have an idea what “some time” means? Also will the 750v work with Cingular’s system?

Am glad to see that Cingular is really working hard to get the 750 to market…save for some software glitches in their software build. Makes all the more happier that I decided not wait and bought a Vodafone version from a seller on eBay. Once it arrived here in the States, I followed the unlocking instructions posted elsewhere. Within 5 mins, I had the phone unlocked. I then slipped the sim out of my existing Cingular Treo 650, and put it into the 750V. I fired it up and - WOW - it began working on Cingular’s netwrok. I’ve had it now for about two weeks and it’s worked flawlessly!

C’mon Cingular! Just release the damn thing already and then have updates that fix the bugs………Ill take the bugs for a month or two, I just want the phone!!!!
Also, Javaman, How did you go about unlocking it? Was it free or did you use an online service?

“in all its high speed network glory!” Does this mean it works on Cingulars 3G network? My understanding is the 680 is EDGE only. I need a new smartphone very quickly and now I don’t know if I should jump on the 680 next week (hopefully) or wait for the 750 and the 3G. Is there a noticable difference in the networks? I dont want to buy something that will be outdated in a month or two.

Wow this phone is so great! The tester has a blackberry 8700c on his desk. Now who would need a blackberry if this was the phone of the future. Bottom line is there are no smartphone solution for instant e-mail. Microsoft should just go ahead and buy RIM.
Blackberry has a part of the market that no other company can capture!

One of my local Cingular Retail Sales Reps was with their marketing person this week and stated that the Treo 750 has a target release date of 11/24.
It was also mentioned that the Treo 680 is not going to be released by Cingular as they do not have an agreement with Palm for the device. I find it hard to believe based on all of the supporting information available here as well as other websites, but just wanted to report the information I received.

A cingular PR rep told me that both the 680 and 750 are coming out in “mid-november’ but the 750 is the only one with 3g.

Please explein 3g to me? I have been operating a 650 for the last 18 months, and have about worn it out. Ready to get a replacement, and need advice.

Treo 750 passes FCC muster!!!!
“We don’t need to tell you what it means when the Treo 750 passes FCC muster, nor do we need to explain to you what carrier on which to expect it. All you need to know is that whenever you see that confidentiality agreement slide by and that FCC ID label plastered up, you know it won’t be long until you’ll be holding one in your hands — if you love Treos, anyway.”
-Engadget
Yes!!!!!!!!!

3G means FASTER!!!!!!!! voice and data connections. I just found a website that has a huge stock of the palm 750v that are unlocked and they are located in the USA.

Hi,
Did you save your treo data to the flash card from your 650 and reload them into your 750? Specifically I am wondering since they are going from the Palm System to the Windows system, if my call log will trasfer over?
Can you help me.
Thank You,
Michael

Is it true that they only support modbile window (or CE)? Also, 750v doesn’t support WIFI? I like the size and shape of 750 but not good enough to swap 700p.

I have a Treo 650 now… but want the next best thing… and I assume that means staying away from anything NOT beginning with Treo! So… what are the deciding differences between the Treo 680, 700p, 700w and 750? Neither apparently has Wi-Fi, and the Windows platform apparently isnt too reliable so… please help me!

I want one because I ‘ve always wanted a smartphone. I like the idea of having a PDA and cell phone all in one.
