Treo Pro on Sprint- Jan. 25
 

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/...best-buy-soon/

One of our faithful ninjas just wrote in to let us know that Sprint’s not-so-kept-secret Treo Pro 850 will be making its way to Best Buy along with a pink version of the Samsung Instinct. You know, the phone that beats the iPhone. The estimated in-stock date is listed as December 8th, but our tipster tells us that is normal. If it’s in the system, it’s a-comin’. Now, the real question is, who’s going to buy a Sprint Treo Pro and a pink Samsung Instinct? Huh? Huh? You know you want to. Larger shots after the breakage.

Thanks, Payroll

UPDATE: Our ninja just informed us that the actual in-stock dates for both of these items looks like January 25th. Have fun!

im also looking forward to playing with this device. something about a front facing keyboard makes it attractive

Is this a direct upgrade from the 800w?

Re: Treo Pro on Sprint- Jan. 25
 

Basically, its the next evolution. Probably one of, if not the last, before Nova. So if you want a WM Palm this would be the guy to get.

Interesting they choose January 25th...one day after most cellular retailers 30 day return policy expires for Christmas sales. I guess they don't want people dropping the Christmas bargains and creating a rush on the Treo Pro....

I doubt there will be much of a rush on the pro, unless it destroys the 800w. They are gonna have to fix the battery life for sure.

Re: Treo Pro on Sprint- Jan. 25
 

I thought that it had a 30% larger battery than the 800w? That should be a pretty good fix.

No one knows the specs yet on the Sprint Treo Pro and if it has a faster processor, it might not be much of an advantage in battery life.
