Treo 700w to be officially announced Monday

Sep 23 2005 - 04:51 PM ET | Palm, Smartphone, Verizon Wireless

UPDATE: The 700w has been officially announced, though Palm hasn't technically used the 700w name yet.

Palm Treo 700wPalm has announced a press conference with both Microsoft and Verizon Wireless for Monday the 26th. This can only mean one thing... The Treo 700w will be officially announced. The announcement begins at 9AM and will be held in San Francisco.

To recap, the Treo 700w is expected to have the following:

  • Powered by Windows Mobile 5.0
  • EV-DO high-speed data
  • Bluetooth
  • 64MB memory plus SD card slot

Since Verizon is part of the conference and their logo was on the leaked images, expect them to have an exclusive on the Treoo 700w for some amount of time. Sprint had the exclusive on the Treo 650 last year.

CTIA IT begins in San Francisco the very next day.

Can't wait! I love Windows mobile and have been interested in the Treo 650... Now I don't have to compromise with Palm's dying OS.

Anyone know if this will be in GSM??

Let's hope that Cingular gets this phone. I want it, but I don't want to change to VERIZON.

Pricing hasn't been announced has it?

Trev: Following the lead of both the Treo 600 and Treo 650, it's safe to say the Treo 700w will be available in a GSM version. But that's not to say it will launch at the same time--I expect Verizon Wireless will have an exclusive on it until 2006.
John: Pricing hasn't been announced, but I would assume $499 is a likely price point. Similar to what the other Treo phones launched at.

We'll have full coverage of this event tomorrow and we'll have a review up of the 700w ASAP.
