UK wireless carrier O2 has announced the launch of the Palm Treo 500 smartphone, a Windows Mobile based Treo that was previously available on Vodafone.
According to a report from PalmInfoCenter, Palm is rumored to be sending out invitations to select customers inviting them to "test an innovative new product." To be qualified for the beta test, the recipients of the invitation must be heavy email users, have WiFi router access and be a current Sprint customer.
There were certainly rumors about the Palm Centro being released on the Verizon Wireless network, but photos appearing this morning confirm the Centro is definitely headed for
Verizon.
Contrary to a earlier report from Brighthand, Sprint is not phasing out Palm's Treo 755p from their product line-up. Sprint representatives have informed us that "the Treo 755p continues to be a strong product offering in Sprint’s lineup of Palm products which also includes the Centro and the Treo 700wx."
