Sprint Treo Pro delayed until February 15th

treo pro

Bad news for those hoping to score a Sprint Treo Pro this weekend. A memo circulating at Best Buy Mobile suggests that the Sprint Treo Pro has been delayed until February 15th. According to the memo, Best Buy Mobile stores have received shipments of the Treo Pro for a January 25th launch but sales of the handsets has been put on hold. All Treo Pro inventory will be locked up and held until the new launch date of February 15th and no purchases will be allowed until then. No reason was given for the mysterious delay. Those among us who possess great charm and immense power of persuasion can try their hand at scoring one early but we definitely wouldn’t lay any cold hard cash down on your success.

    Wonder if it’s for marketing reasons or because there is some issue. Can’t have anything to do with GSMA since that is the following day. Then again I never did understand marketing people.

    Die hard Treo fan, but WM is not for me. I wonder if they fixed the pressure crack problems for this batch or not.

    How precious! Sprint/Palm fanbois will now blow their load all over themselves on Valentine’s weekend. How appropriate! ;)

    I work for sprint and it will not be releasing untill the 15th.(For whomever thought Sprint would sell before then) One reason they said was because of training purposes and to make sure all employees are fully trained on it and WinMo software. Which doesn’t make sense since the phone is really nothing different from the 800w. Anyone wanting a Palm I suggest waiting for the Pre. I have a pro already through the advocate program and the phone is nothing to write home about.

    According to the information we received the phones cannot even be activated in SNAP if we do sell them.

    Aw c’mon backbeat… What have you really got against our company? Have stock in Verizon? Getting paid to shill for AT&T? You have an unhealthy fixation on Sprint services and devices for someone who seems to hate them so much.

    Anyway, tell your mom I said “Hi” and I’ll be home by 6 tomorrow night if she wants to stop over again.

    Eh, nobody really cares. Everyone who was going to get the Palm Treo Pro now has their eyes on the Palm Pre. So this delay doesn’t really matter.

    Aw, why the insults? It’s not my fault your dad didn’t hug you.

    All I do is try to provide the best service out there. I won’t tap your phones like AT&T. I won’t disable built-in features like Verizon. I’ll charge you less than any of the major providers. What more do you want? A nice douche to get the sand out of your vagina? Guess you can’t please them all…

    That’s sucks, normally Best Buy has a better price than Sprint and some online places, not initially though, will that be different with this. I’m activating a new line for the berry centro for $50 there vs. $80 after all rebates w/Sprint
