Sprint Treo 800w date confirmed: July 13th


A ways back we said the date for the much anticipated (well, for a few of us at least) Palm Treo 800w was July 22nd.

Then newer info popped up suggesting it got bumped to July 13th.

Looks like that latter date is turning out to be correct as what looks like to be a scanned inventory sheet for Sprint was posted at HowardForums. The sheet also confirms our scoop that the 800w will sport a button on top of the device to toggle WiFi on/off.

The launch also appears to be available a few days earlier Wed, July 9th for business partners (BP) of Sprint which is not that unusual (Edit: klmsu19 in the comments points out "BP" probably stands for BrightPoint, "a global leader in the distribution of wireless devices and the provisioning of customized logistic services to the wireless industry").

Start saving those bucks as full retail price will be $599.99 and we're expecting it to be $249.99 after contract and rebates.

Oh yeah and don't forget about that Treo 800w giveaway contest ;-) Remember, July 13th and we suppose July 9th are off-limits!

Thanks Commo for the tip!

isnt the BP acronym BrightPoint?

@klmsu19

ooo...I think you're right! Never heard of them but that does make sense, I'll update the article.

July 22nd is my birthday....would have been cool.

Brightpoint is referred to as Sprints "mater Agent." My understanding is they are the middle man, if you will, between the manufacturer and Sprint and seem to regulate the distribution of the devices to different channels. (Im sure someone could explain it a little better)

That could be to close to the iPhone to get any attention.

Which is why they should delay it so I win. ;)

Sigh, I went with my Bday, July 27th...sucks to be me...lol.
