Verizon Getting Closer to Releasing Treo 755p

There can be little doubt that Verizon Wireless will eventually offer the Palm Treo 755p, but no one outside this carrier seems to know when this is going to happen.

What seemed like a reliable rumor surfaced earlier this summer that this smartphone would debut on July 5, but this obviously didn't happen.

This release date remains unknown, but it is apparently drawing close, as Engadget has been leaked a picture of the 755p bearing the Verizon logo and apparently running on this carrier's network.

This same device has been available from Sprint, another CDMA-based carrier in the U.S., since mid-May.

More About the Treo 755p

The Treo 755p is one of Palm's new generation of smartphones with a slimmer profile and no external antenna. It still includes a 320-by-320-pixel display and a QWERTY keyboard, though.

It runs the Garnet OS (formerly Palm OS Garnet), has about 63 MB of internal storage available to users, and a miniSD slot.

It was created for CDMA carriers, and offers support for the 3G cellular-wireless networking standard EV-DO.
