Palm Treo 700p Release Details
I've had my Treo 600 since its launch over 2 years ago. I've had to replace it once because it just stopped booting up one day. Thankfully this happened one week before the 1 year warranty was up. However 14.4k modem or less data speeds and the crashing frequently OS is a bit getting long in the tooth. I'm looking forward to EV-DO on the 700p, but not all that excited about using the same crashy OS.
A new sheet has been leaked out that shows a 5/28/06 targeted release date for the 700p. It will come with Power Vision EV-DO, 1.3 megapixel camera, Sprint TV on Demand, Phone as a modem capability, Bluetooth, 128MB of memory (yay!), SD card slot, and a "refined industrial design". Let's just hope they made the OS and build quality a bit more bullet proof.
