Alltel to release Palm Treo Pro on the 5th
A little blue bird landed on our window sill this morning to let us in on a little secret – Alltel is all set to launch the Palm Treo Pro this Thursday March 5th. After a $125 rebate, the Treo Pro will set Alltel subscribers back $199 on a 2-year contract. The price isn’t all that bad for a new smartphone, especially considering it has the golden trifecta known as 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS, but when we see an American carrier charge more than a Canadian carrier we do start to panic just a little. Just one word of caution before anyone gets too excited — this might just be for divested customers only. C’est la vie, no?
Thanks, R!
@Jeremy: “Who wants a Palm Treo Pro now when Palm Pre is going to be launched soon?
There is a good chance that more people will buy the Pro in 2009.
When is it you think that the Pre will be available? June or July?
How anxious is corporate and Enterprise IT to jump on a new operating system, never mind from a company with no money and extremely difficult prospects for support in depth?
It is already available: http://tinyurl.com/b8k6xl
I have not heard back from the Verizon rep when it will be available there.
Verizon buys Alltel, Alltel releases Palm Tro Pro…
…Verizon? Maybe? Any potential there for VZW to finally get this then?
Probably not…wishful thinking I suppose.
Verizon bought Alltel just to get thier hands on the Diamond and Treo Pro, joking but if you think it does make sense
