Guess what showed up on my doorstep yesterday? Ok yeah, you already know since you read the title of this post. :o) It’s Palm’s new Palm OS Treo 755p for Sprint.
I won’t paste in a long press release since I rarely read those things myself. I will tell you the highlights of this new Smartphone and share a few pix. Of course I’ll have a full review in a couple of weeks.
The Treo 755p is kind of a cross between the Treo 750 and the Treo 680.
It’s available in Midnight Blue (750 color) and Burgundy. Has a MicroSD slot like the 750 instead of a full size SD slot like the 680. Of course the similarities end there as the 755p is a CDMA phone with EvDO instead of GSM. This new phone is Palm’s first to have built-in support for Microsoft Direct Push Technology for email. It also has Google Maps integrated into it. Other new features include Mobile Voice Control, a new IM application and Sprint TVSM in the ROM for mobile entertainment and news.

Look for my full review soon!

I am really excited about the new 755p. Even though I have only owned my 700p for just over two weeks, the way palm works I didn’t know when the 755p was going to arrive in stores. So I purchased my 700p since I run my business while I live my life on the go. I guess I should gather the box and manuals together and get ready to place my 700p on Ebay.
Looking forward to your review.
