More Sprint details: New Treo Pro target launch, Rumor 2, Instinct Mini, HTC Cedar and more
Ok Sprint people, you had some bad news yesterday as we learned the Treo Pro will not be launching on time this coming Sunday. It’s time to regroup and calm down because you know we wouldn’t just hit and run with bad news. Our ninjas came back with some new details that shed a bit of light on various goodies coming your way over the next few months, so let’s get right to it.
- Palm Treo Pro: The new target launch is March 15. We’re still not sure what exactly is behind the repeated delays but apparently Sprint still isn’t overly confident in the handset because the new launch date is still just a target, not firm. All our ninja had to say on the matter was that it didn’t pass Sprint’s standard testing process and as such, delay city.
- LG Rumor 2: Sprint is also targeting mid-March for the Rumor 2 which will be available in black and blue.
- LG LX370: This will be a mid-range feature phone with a slider form factor dropping in April/May.
- Samsung Instinct Mini: It looks like the rumors are true indeed. We’ve confirmed that Sprint is set to get its paws on a smaller, slimmer Instinct and it’s currently slated to launch on April 19. It will be an addition to the Instinct family rather than a replacement for the current model and it will be available in copper or graphite. Saucy. The bad news – EVDO Rev 0.
- HTC Cedar: First seen in the HTC roadmap leaked last month, the Cedar is a QWERTY candybar that isn’t exactly cutting edge in terms of design. All the same, Sprint bagged it and it’s set to drop in June.
As for the man of the hour, the Palm Pre, nothing new on that front we’re afraid. We’re still looking at a launch in the May/June time-frame.

I mis-posted, the mini will have DOr0 according to this and other articles DOrA. Don’t see that affecting much because my M1 and my Renegade can go head to head with each other
@Don Louie who said: “I mis-posted”
That could be said every time you touch a keyboard, MrMultiLoginTroll.
Idiot.
I don’t see too much difference between my M1 and Renegade so that shouldn’t be too much of a factor
^You’re a self-serving, narcissistic idiot, MrMultiLoginTroll.
I’m still trying to figure out why 1rxtt is being made, guess a market for them is there like for Palm
^You’re a self-serving, narcissistic idiot, MrMultiLoginTroll.
backbeat, half of the comments on any of these articles are filled with your gibberish-nonsense. Does it get you off or what?
This sucks!!! I don’t like most of the windows mobile options available through sprint right now. I have the old pocket PC and need to upgrade because it is about to die. I’ve been waiting on the Pro since November… I don’t think I can wait any longer.
I may wind up leaving sprint because of there delays in getting products to the market in timely fashion… especially when I’m looking to buy..
^Cause & Effect, Skippy. Without a ‘causative’ idiot’s trolling, no response is required. Clear?
CB everybody has delays, according to news it’s a memory issue. I would rather them not go thru the same crap they went thru with the Instinct
backbeat- seriously? Your comments are inappropriate, off topic, and offensive. I am respectfully asking you to stop posting.
Cause & Effect eludes you that easily? Try taking it up with the causative party involved who make himself painfully obvious, thus requiring response.
Otherwise, consider me unconcerned that you are so easily offended by the English language.
Clear?
thelighthouseguy, wanted to warn you but knew it was a matter of time before the troll/moderater/flamer would inform all it’s her duty to respond to my post with pure conjecture/innuendo and flat opinion passed off as fact by calling me a name then insulting those requesting ignoring the offending poster. She actually avoided some topics to focus on Wi Max till your comment, you on her list now.
^Bite me, bitchboy!
Until your causative bullshit stops, I don’t. That’s how Cause & Effect works in the real world, Bunky. Clear?
Fuck you.
Your just in having your opinion, as am I, your mission isn’t just. The Cedar looks ok, needs a different color though.
You don’t bother employing enough gray-matter to form opinions. You regurgitate the same generic, “could-be-applied-to-anything” bullshit that only a sophomoronic MrMultiLoginTroll, such as yourself, would thrive in. I’m not the badguy *(regardless of what your other sock-puppets have to say on the matter)* for pointing out your lack of spine, integrity, dignity, or even common intelligence.
Fuck you.
No Beta huh?
then how do you explain this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjN_oSbO_cM
I would say it is past beta, the demonstrator from Palm makes a call from a Centro to the Pre, as well as demonstrates other LIVE features. The Pre has been in development for 2 years, trust me, it has been in production.
Btw, my last post was directed @ MO, Sprints website show the final specs as well!
Thanks for the information, keep it coming Informed
What ‘info’? It’s a month+ old video from CES of the alpha code [as explained by Engadget's writer/legal expert who posted the same after attending the pvt screenings] they were promoting? Don’t like those facts? Don’t create your own.
Idiot.
Over last few months I’ve seen a “cause and effect” argument using the righteous cause of combating misinformation, propaganda and something else a the reason to visit/post in related threads. What I would like to know is if the carrier/manufacturer/poster are in such a perilous state, why validate any of it w/responses? I’m neutral, do have a preference for carrier but won’t name it, those would be some decent phone when the reach market and compare well with smartphones out now and low to mid ones too
^What are you babbling about now, MrMultiLoginTrol / aka bitchboy-DonLouie?
Fuck you -and- your insult to all readers’ intelligence.
Is everybody that disagrees with you that person, your vocabulary lends to the idea that yu have some education but your content and continual trashing of contradicting lends to the ideas of childishness. If you haven’t picked up on it I can clue you in, the article is what is trying to be discussed but a supposed insult to intelligence is reponded to with ingorant flaming. This goes on wherever Don Louie post, did he/she steal your boy/girlfriend or lunch money or something. You cannot combat the purported ignorance with more ignorance.
^Why are you bothering to masquerade as an Apologist-in-Drag? Just can’t kick the habit, MrMultiLoginTroll?
Fuck you -and- your insult to intelligence.
