Treo by Palm company profile
 Palm Inc. formerly known as PalmOne, was founded in 1992 and acquired by U.S. Robotics Corp. in 1995. In 1996, Palm introduced the Pilot 1000 and Pilot 5000 products that led the resurgence of handheld computing. In June 1997, Palm became a subsidiary of 3Com Corp. when U.S. Robotics was acquired by 3Com. With its acquisition of Smartcode Technologie in February 1999, Palm added advanced wireless communications capabilities to the Palm OS® platform to address the market for mobile information appliances, such as cellular telephones, messaging devices, data communicators and smart phones. In September 1999, 3Com announced plans to make the Palm subsidiary an independent, publicly traded company. The company became independent on March 2, 2000, and was traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol PALM.Top Treo by Palm cell phone specials
Closely Related StuffUnlocked episode 1 with Noah from PhoneDog.com. Apple unveils the iPhone SDK and announces iFund. Unlimited plans take center stage with Sprint and Helio leading the way. Hands-on with the Helio Mysto and Palm Centro for Sprint. At a Glance:What’s Good: Full-featured, easy to use smartphone for entry-level price; Clear, bright, high-resolution touchscreen; Compact body with rounded edges; Zippy EV-DO data with access to Sprint TV service; A-GPS works with location-based services
What’s Not Good: QWERTY keys are small and cramped; Display is smallish (if still easy to read); Hardware and software design feels a bit dated; Noticeably thicker than comparable devices; No Music Store access (yet)
Bottom Line: Get Centro... IntroductionI remember when Treos were all the rage amongst executives and Email addicts before Email addictions were trendy. A sales exec friend of mine got married a few years back and I’ll never forget the image of her pecking madly at her Treo an hour before the ceremony as bridesmaids tended to her non-Email needs. The Treo line really ushered in the age of QWERTY smartphones that combined robust Email and organizer features with a form factor small enough to slip into a... Design & FeaturesPalm Centro is little, fat, and cute all at once. It’s more the size of a regular phone than a business-class smartphone like Sprint’s HTC Mogul, and is available in a nicely dressed down black, a flashier red, and a soft pink, each of which is accented by a gray stripe running across the front panel of the phone. While Centro’s 18.5mm thick profile means it bulges in a front jeans pocket, it’s small enough to easily use in one hand - provided you don’t need... Usability & PerformanceFirst off, Sprint’s Centro worked great as a phone. Signal strength was excellent virtually everywhere I went in the San Francisco Bay Area, and calls came through loud and clear on both ends. The speakerphone was decent for a cell (i.e. Usable in a pinch), and I appreciated the “Ignore with Text Message” feature for deflecting incoming calls I didn’t want to take. Calls may be dialed via the touchscreen or dedicated keys on the QWERTY layout,... ConclusionTreos made a big name for themselves as the original Email phone of choice. Their combination of a usable Email and PDA client married to a solid cell phone was revolutionary in its day, and Palm’s stable, usable, and expandable smartphone platform appealed to power users and consumer Email junkies alike. Unfortunately the once-mighty Treo got lost in the shuffle during the amazing period of mobile phone innovation that’s come upon us in the last two or three... The image of a Pink Palm Centro that has been floating around the internet over the last couple of days appears to be authentic. The Pink version of the surprising popular Centro series should be a big hit with the ladies. No release date has been confirmed, but being Valentines Day is right around the corner an early to mid January launch would seem likely.
Other than the color one should expect the pricing and specifications to remain the same. We will keep you posted as more information... It looks like Noah answered your question :)

Dear Patty:
Thanks for writing. Yours is a good, and often-asked question. The nice thing about choice is that there's an option for What was Palm thinking! They are trying to pass the Centro off as a new phone when it is clearly a rehashed treo 600!
IMO it has to be one of the ugliest phones to be offered by Sprint in a while - Just a little FYI
Finally owners of the Treo 750 and 750v are now able to upgrade to WM6.
I just want a cell phone that makes phone calls. I don't think developers are going to ignore Palm devices especially when they are running windows apps.
Remember there has been how many millions of treo sold over the past couple of years?
When I went to www.palm.com which is a great site to go to if that is what you are looking for. I havent really been to any of the other sites but you can check them out and compare. You may find Now if you were a salesman you would be wonderful at selling phones, you sold me on that phone and Im still in shock that the phone does all of that in the first place. Wow, I love the look of the this one. The review was well written. This is the one that my boyfriend told me that I should look into getting. I like it a lot. Thanks for the I have to agree with everyone, The Blackjack offers a nice package of tools, the 3g network is nice when its funtioning on US Networks, but more importantly the phone holds calls, its light weight, According to a recent study conducted by Cnet.com there are quite a number of popular phones on the market today that release a large amount of radiation.
