CES 2009 -- Cingular Wireless has officially announced the Palm Treo 750. The long awaited device is the first Treo from Cingular to have either 3G or Windows Mobile. The 750 has been shipping in Europe for quite some time but faced delays getting the device certified in the US.
While the Treo 750 is a 3G device (in both the US and Europe) it does not yet use HSDPA, the most advanced standard. Palm noted to MobileTracker that a software update will make the Treo 750 compatible with HSDPA and that the company hopes to be able to push that update to Cingular customers at a future date.
Features of the Treo 750 include:
Quad-band GSM/EDGE plus UMTS 850/1900/2100
Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC phone edition
240×240 pixel touch screen
1.3 megapixel camera
60MB of user-available storage plus a miniSD card slot
Bluetooth with A2DP support
Cingular will begin selling the Palm Treo 750 tomorrow. It will retail for $399.99 after a 2-year service contract. Cingular also carries the Treo 680 which is a paired down version that is being marketed more towards consumers.
