kinda off topic and i know you guys like to keep on topic lol but how true are the rumors of the Palm 755p release at the end of the month because engadgetmobile just posted someone sent a tip in that it was now thinking back to the blackberry 8830 release and chocolate vzw doesnt want to release pdas etc at the same time and that would deffinetly change when the i760 is coming out i hope this isnt true

oh, i've already broken a few.

If the 755p is truly released at the end of the month, we can only hope that VZW views Palm OS and WM devices differently. If I remember correctly, the i730 was released shortly after the Treo 650 was released. I don't remember the time gap, though.

Yes, its looking like the Treo 755P will be at the end of this month, and the 760 will be sometime in the middle or end of August.

Come to think of it, that spreadsheet that was posted a while back here and on Hofo was probably spot on for the release date!

I stand corrected on my last post. I just did a quick search on Google and learned that the Treo 650 release date was mid May vs. mid July for the i730. Even worse, the 8830 was available in stores at the end of May and, gulp, the Engadget rumor post said the Treo 755 will be available at end of this month (2 months following 8830 availability). On the bright side, if memory serves me correctly, the 700w and 6700 were released at the same time.


Hopefully, the previously posted information about VZW keeping 2 months space between pda release dates isn't true. I am of the mindset that VZW's approach has changed in light of the iPhone, and that VZW would prefer to begin an all out pda release/marketing blitz to try and quell any iPhone enthusiasm that may remain at this point.

well if that 2 month rule is true then those rumors of september might be very true i think ima cry on this one because i was lookin forward to the i760 on or near my bday and today is my bday btw btu ima try to be patient its hard tho

Okay. I'm not as savvy at these VZW fact (rumor) finding missions as most of you, but I was talking to my corporate rep this morning (we are a big corp) and he seemed to know more about the 6800 than the i760 (although admitted that he had no idea when either would be released). This seems counter to the i760 then xv6800 release order. Take that FWIW, which is very little.

With all these people saying different things, I am only going to take Ethans "end of july" estimate seriously. Everybody else in the world is saying from any day now to sep. 4th.

well im hoping for that ending of july as ethan said or even august 1 as the samsung rep told one of the guys at my verizon store inside circuit city

well, as we can all see, nothing new arrived today (the i760 and q9) were both possiblities... i have been checking both the regular vzw and the testman sites all day today...
let's all hope "ethan" is right (he usually is...)
