The new Treo (which has not yet been officially named, even though the pictures that have been posted on the web show it to be called the 700w), will be Verizon-exclusive until at least the middle of 2006. Part of this is probably due to the contract with Verizon, and part of it is probably due to the slow roll out of Sprint's EVDO network. Ed Colligan (Palm CEO) indicated that there will "definitely" be a GSM version in the future, but don't expect that until late next year.
