Palm Treo Pro Unlocked Available for $299

If you are in the market for an unlocked Palm Treo Pro, Buy.com is offering this Windows Mobile powered device for $299. This comes with free shipping. Of course, as an unlocked version, this Palm Treo Pro can be used with any GSM carrier either in the US (AT&T, T-Mobile) or internationally. It features Windows Mobile 6.1, WiFi, GPS and more.

Android on a Treo

The Treo 650, arguably the most popular Palm device ever, is seeing new life today as some enterprising coder has managed to boot Google’s Android OS on Palm’s Treo 650. No one has a write up on how this accomplished, but you can find discussions of how this can be done.

Still using your Treo? We’d suggest sticking with the tried and true Palm OS. If you’ve moved on, this would make one helluva weekend project.

Palm Ends Windows Mobile, Palm OS Device Development

During a call discussing Palm’s financials, Palm’s CEO Jon Rubinstein indicated that the company would no longer develop new Windows Mobile or Palm OS devices. Going forward, Palm will be 100% focused on development of webOS, the next generation operating system that powers the Palm Pre and the upcoming Palm Pixi.

According to Rubinstein, Palm will be “focusing all of our effort building webOS products” and all future engineering efforts will on developing webOS devices.

Treo Pro Unlocked Now Just $399

Palm has dropped the price on the unlocked Treo Pro from $549 to $399. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen and doesn’t require a contract. The Palm Treo Pro is GSM and works on both T-Mobile and AT&T in the US, as well as GSM networks around the world.

It’s not clear if this is a temporary price break, but certainly a good deal if you were looking for an unlocked Treo Pro, without a contract.

Sprint Treo Pro Review

The Palm Treo Pro was first released in October of 2008. Available only as an unlocked model, the unlocked Treo Pro (see review) appealed to world travelers and business professionals who find great appeal found with a smartphone that will work with virtually any SIM card. The flip side of the coin is the lack of wireless carrier means there isn’t a subsidy to drive down the cost of the phone. Thankfully, that’s all changed with the Sprint release of the Treo Pro. With a 2-year contract agreement, the Treo Pro on Sprint is $199.

Video: Sprint Palm Treo Pro Unboxing

Join us as we take a quick look at the Palm Treo Pro, now available on Sprint Wireless. The Palm Treo Pro has been available since March 15th at Sprint retail stores and online at Sprint.com. Unlike the Palm Treo Pro unlocked (see our review), the Sprint version is a more affordable $199.99 (after rebates with a 2-year agreement) due to the subsidy.

Note: The Treo Pro also includes a microSD slot for memory expansion that we missed during the video unboxing.
