The Treo 700p Confirmed
Tam Hanna writes "People have been rumoring about the Treo 700p for quite some time, Now, HandMark has "officially" confirmed the Treo 700p's existance on their home page. While developers have had access to the machine for quite some time; this is the first "real" sighting""
According to the information there May 28, 2006 is the release date.

It's existence, not "existance"
Well, since this has become a thread of rumors, I may as well post the following pics:s ible-images-of-the-treo-700p/

Or Treonauts 700p page which now has what they claim is a pulled TechWorld article with crunchy info.
the no
are you actually serious with that question? Of course it will be Palm OS running on it, the w on 700w is indicative of windows and the p is indicative of 700 palm. The only dissappointment is that it will not be Palm OS 6 which to all rumors will never come out now, as the next OS released for Palm devices is going to be Palm ACCESS Linux.
It's Cingular, not palm. Each of the carriers rewrites the stock Palm firmware to add/remove features. You'll note that each of the carriers has a different firmware version.
Three executives where I work have Cingular 650s. Two executives, myself, and another IT guy have Sprint 650s. The Cingulars have had to be replaced due to problems with audio vanishing, dropped calls, horrible data transfer rates, and frequent crashes on completely stock devices.
The biggest problem we have with the Sprint Treos is getting the right email username & passwords. I'm probably the harshest abuser of my 650 and it's pretty much rock solid. I've been a palm user for years and some of my favorite apps are abandonware that don't get along well with OS5 which did cause some crashing for the first month or so as I figured out what was 650-friendly and what was a valid replacement.
The last reboot I had occurred when I hit the "web browser" button at the exact same moment someone called me. Other than such freakish incidents, the device is wonderful.
If you want a 650 or even a 700w for Cingular, see if you can find one of the GSM-unlocked Treos on Ebay.
I've been on slashdot so long I'm starting to get out of touch with the cool stuff if it ain't on slashdot.
