The SUCCESSOR of TREO 750

Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!
I´m Thinking About Buying The Palm Treo 750v Of Vodafone, But As I Know It Was Released Almost One Year Ago, I Thought That Soon Or Later, There´ll Be A Brand New Model Or Successor Of The Treo 750v And Wait For It.
What Do U Think Buddies???
Thxs In Advance

There is *always* a new phone around the corner.
It's just like computers.
If you wait, you'll never buy anything.

I just need some info.
Thanks

Palm is rather in a 'mess' now to retaliate MS attacks from the PDA/smartphone front. Various speculations are floating around the net, which includes Nokia (and others) to take over Palm, and Palm in ditching their PalmOs to Linux-based system. Palm did a marvelous jobs at tackling PPC's onslaughts on the PDA fronts during the last few years, but this PDA-Phone round is not very good for Palm. So, chances are that Treo750 may be very well be the end of one of the Palm's era. Hence, personally, I don't think there will be a new unit coming out very soon for Treo, and if it does, probably it will be very much different, which may not be inline with the reason you go for a Treo.

I have heard that palm treo 750 WM6 OS is coming for Cingular. It is ok to buy for now and Treo 750 is best for everyday use.

The next device from Palm is not a PPC, its a SP... Also the next PPC has GPS... Both are expected this year but not for a few months.

you mean a palm + phone using windows mobile? when?and how much?
thanks everyone

The miracle of google..
News news news... - "Palm will unveil a platform before the end of 2007 that runs the Palm OS on top of a Linux kernel" ... but .. "Palm will also continue to use Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS"... "Recent industry rumors have suggested that either Motorola or Nokia would buy the company, but those whispers died down when Palm..."
WM6 news

If you want one go for it, based on the speed that Palm released the upgrade to the GSM Treo I'd say the 750 is in for a while.
And the 680 wasn't much of an upgrade to the 650, more like the 650.1.

WM6 on the Treo 750
Palm have announced that a WM6 upgrade WILL be released for the Treo 750 in due course. The inside information I have is that it will be here by late august!
Get a Treo 750 dude they are Immense!

what do you think about getting an wifi mini sdcard for wireless connections, do you think it´s a good idea???
The problem is I´m hesitating whether to buy aplm treo 750v with vodafone or ubiquio 501.
What do you advise me guys?????

Well, personally, wireless is not something that I would use, however, I would still feel incomplete without. Only now I noticed that 750 doesnt have WiFi. How much difference in price are the Treo and Ubi501?

100 euros more or less.
I prefer the treo because in my opinion it´s more stylized than the ubi501, but the lack is it has no wireless capabities.
Ubi501 processor is OMAP 850 at 200mHz, very slow based on my own experiences but could be enough. The screen is 240x240 and it may have some problems installing some softwares on it, but i think it´s he same siza than the palm.
My aim is getting a very very very small device indeed with keyboard such as treo or ubi501 and if it is possible with the best wireless capabilites.
ANy suggestions?????

You may need to check with your specs again. From what I've gathered so far, it seems that the only thing I can see Palm is better than this Ubi is the processor.
Screen wise, Palm is the one with 240x240 screen. This Ubi has QVGA screen (320x240). Ubi has larger storage, better camera, and only 1/2 as thick as Palm, it is SEXY.
Have you read this?

BTW, if what it said above is true, it maybe dodgy to get a phone, that is owned by Expansys.. in a way.. not as safe as getting it from Treo.. which.. well you decide.

The Ubi 501 is old news now and I agree does not compare to the Treo. However in June the Ubi 503G is releasing and it is looking to be a great device. Here is a link to a thread at HoFo where we have been discussing it.

Treo 755p.is due out soon and the linux/palm xovers will be out 08,life in the olddog yet

http://www.mobilewhack.com/sprint-treo-755p-photos-leaked/

it seems to be a palm powered device, isn´t it????
When I said sucessor, I meant, windows mobile powered.
what do you think???

well it shows new devices are still coming and treo have remarked lots of times that they will have dual releases,palm and windows to come,(also with linux too)
so its only a matter of time before a new windows device,why spend all that money to launch one windows device then,quit?
they will for sure be realsing further windows devices
its seems to me all pda,smartphones and mobile phone makers,are at the moment holding back,im sure behidn the scenes,its all about tryign ti figure out how to get voip and gps right and fit them into there devices
i belive there will be a few genral releases from all makers,plodding on then once they have it all sorted the output will be hughe
look at nokia ,rushing to be first to market with the n95,people are so demanding with there devices nowdays,i suspect another windows powered treo before xmas for the usa and for the rest of us in 1st q8

I agree with you about they will release a brand new treo powered by WM6 bf Xmas, but that sounds very late on time, doesn´t it????
I´m not sure if they´ll release another on bf that time, because in my opinion they have to make some profits with the first treo with Microsoft on it, don´t you think?

Treo 680

Has anyone been able to put mobile 6 on the 680?

No sir. I don't think anyone has taken the time to identify the exact hardware in it to see if a working WM6 ROM can be cooked up. I believe the CPU is either a TI OMAP or Intel, so that's probably not a err problem. Most likely the first problem will be whether there is a WM device driver for the graphics processor, and it might be near impossible to get a bootloader on it that would start WM.
I wish Palm would get on with getting that 320x320 screen into a WM device.. Although I'm sorta over what sold me on the 750 - the keyboard. If HTC comes out with a Hermes-like device with VGA and HSDPA or HSUPA I'm so in.
Once in awhile I crank up my 4 year old HP hx4700 just to remind myself of the beauty of a VGA device. Of course that thing has a monster 4 inch screen and sucks battery..
OK wow....sorry to hijack your question and turn this into mostly random musings and so forth and so on. lol

HTC S620 vs Palm Treo 500

Hi everyone. I'm a long time S60 user (currently own Nokia E61). I'm basically sick and tired of S60 and looking to buy a WM phone.
The two phones in my budget are the HTC S620 and the Palm Treo 500 (non vodafone).
I know the palm lacks wifi (not important to me), but has double the processor (400vs200 mhz). Other than that I cant decide which phone is better? If someone could tell me their opinion I would really appriciate it.
Also, I know the HTC can be upgraded to WM 6.1 and can use many different "ROMS" , can the treo be upgraded as well?
Thanks in advance

I couldn't find any ROM upgrades or cooked ROM's as well, the Treo with 256 MB ROM vs 128 MB ROM, and its very well-designed, however, the S620 feel much easier to use somehow!, try both before you make your decision ;-)

can a palm treo 680 be flashed to win mo?

I have a tilt that ive flashed with dutty and my son has a treo 680. I know this is for 750 but wasn't sure if there was that much different . I am not familiar with palm treos.
Thanks.

Answer is short: no, you can't.

The other way around
I've been searching high and low for way to flash my Treo 750 with something other than WinMo. I'd like the Palm OS. Android is taking too long.

Get a new phone.

I agree
Already in line for the iphone next week.

and have some one made android ROM for some of the treo? such as 680, or 750? I like treo 680, but no the palm OS!

Palm Treo 700WX, Hard SPL?

Hey,
I would like to update an old Palm Treo 700WX to WM 6.5, but I was curious of the Hard SPL for the 750 will work. Are these essentially the same phones? Has anyone used this Hard SPL to update their OS?
I'm curious to know your experiences.
Thanks!
