Palm Treo Pro now available on Sprint’s website (updated)
A few days ahead of its expected launch date of January 25th and a few days behind our original scoop, the Sprint Treo Pro is now listed on Sprint’s website for a cool $249 after $200 in instant savings and a $100 mail in rebate. You’ll need to add an Everything plan, Data Premier add-on or PRO Pack add-on to be eligible for the rebate. The Treo Pro features a 320 x 320 touchscreen display, QWERTY keyboard, 2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and Windows Mobile 6.1 professional. The Sprint version also includes Sprint-specific features including Sprint TV, Sprint Music store, Sprint Mobile sync and NFL Mobile Live access. If Windows Mobile is your thing and Sprint your carrier of choice, then break out that plastic and get on with some shopping. Sure it’s no Pre, but we’ve still got some time to kill before roll out.
Thanks, Ronald!
UPDATE: It looks like Sprint pulled the Treo Pro page. Did someone get a little trigger happy this morning?
UPDATE 2: Official word just came down from Sprint and the Treo Pro cameo was indeed a mistake. No firm release date was given so we’ll have to revert to the presumed date reported last month: This Sunday, January 25th.
Things are getting stranger about this pull of the Treo pro from Sprint’s pages:

Ya just gotta laugh your ass off at the Sprintster-trolls, when this news came in (in addition to being factually corrected on their misinformation campaign about data-only smartphone plans) who vanished like cockroaches when the light turns on. Thanks for the hard belly laugh, kids!
On my lunch break now so will say the link for att does indeed say $35 for data only but the vzw one just says what you get and nothing about the cost. Could be attributed to my browser but I got my information from the horses mouth, call the numbers and don’t prod the rep to see what they offer.
^Shows just how dignified and mentally-curious you really are, when the exact plan name is provided in such elementary terms that even you should be able to get it when it comes to Verizon’s Email & Web for Smartphone @ $30 or $35/Mo, depending on if a voice plan is attached or not.
I believe you were speaking to the wrong end of the horse, there, Skippy.

I called att back and they offered that $35 data plan but vzw is sticking to thier guns.
^Verizon has never heard of their own Email & Web for Smartphone plan, eh? Riiiiiight.
Idiot.
Now instead of littering all Sprint threads with talk of what’s cheaper on another carrier (shill behavior) when by all accounts only the data only on att is correct. This was about a phone and you want to make it about overpriced data when for the most part all are equal, when including voice, see the phone 1/25. BM will get the Pre
The Treo Pro, damn vzw or any other carrier because they don’t have that phone which is the subject
@bitchboy who said: “Now instead of littering all Sprint threads with talk of what’s cheaper on another carrier (shill behavior) when by all accounts only the data only on att is correct.”
Cause & Effect, bitchboy. Cause & Effect. You’re not man enough to change the concept, nor be exempt from it.
Just because _you_ are unable to specify the required plan to a Verizon CSR, doesn’t mean it’s not available, as has been clearly shown (even clearly enough for Sprintster-trolls such as yourself to grasp).
Idiot.
GROW UP,
^Get a mirror. Study its Instruction Manual. Use liberally. Repeat as necessary.
Idiot.
And, btw, sock-puppet [Don Louie, et al]… A shill focuses the discussion to their preferred source of revenue/ego-feeding false-satisfaction. In your case, the Sprint/Palm Manson-family.
Exposing you, by way of drawing multi-carrier comparisons is not only elementary, but my pleasure.
So a boo boo was made by announcing too early, wonder if 1/25 is still reachable. $250 is not a bad price was hoping for a smaller price tag though. This will tide some but with the Pre soon to launch it probably won’t do all that well
Your silence speaks clearly on your behalf, bitchboy. Much obliged!
There have been enough threads taken off topic because one person thinks it thier responsibility to refute any Sprint w/claims that service is overpriced and how Palm sucks. I have an opinion of you but since it isn’t great I choose to keep it to myself instead of trolling. If you were actually keeping track only the att thing in, a Sprint subject, was right
^Classic Nixonian nondenial-denial [in poor, badly broken English].
Fuck you. Coward. Idiot.
I’m betting the phone will be seen soon, like the next 2 weeks.
^That’s nice, dear.
I have the Sprint Users Guide for the Palm Treo Pro.
I downloaded it Wednesday before Sprint removed the phone.
Was anyone able to place any orders for the phone?

I <3 Sprint, Palm, and anything else blackbeat hates
^In that case … You <3 bottom-feeding, flea-bitten Sprintster/RoseyPalm shills (but none of the companies you name).
@ One, who would attempt to buy this with the Pre breathing down it’s neck?
What a joke to have handed over your anchor to another sinking ship!
Poor, little Sprintster … The Little Carrier That Couldn’t!
Thank you for letting all Sprint customers and Palm enthusiast for telling us we made the wrong choice, cell carrier/manufacturer expert, where would we be w/o you?
