Rumor: Palm Treo 500 due out soon, not called Gandolf
So the device that was reportedly called the Gandolf, is now rumored to be officially known as the Treo 500, or the Treo 500v on the Vodafone network it is said to be hitting on September 12th. Personally I thin it looks exactly like the Centro with a couple minor differences, but apparently it’s a whole other device.
Apparently it will have 3G as in UMTS, not HSDPA and will feature Windows Mobile 6 not a Palm OS. It will also be missing the touchscreen which is apparently why a phone with seemingly better features than the Treo 750 gets the lower model number of the 500.

Life with iPhone – Day 1 Review
I got an iPhone at exactly 6:15 PM Central time and started charging it at 7:10PM. I’m currently an AT&T customer, so porting my current AT&T number to the iPhone is a quick and easy process.
After activation, iTunes started to sync my emails (including email account settings), my address book, iTunes music playlist, photos and videos.
Within an hour of charging I got the first incoming call on my iPhone. I pulled the phone out of the docking charger; the top part of the handset is quite warm and putting it on my ear feels very uncomfortable.
Palm’s next-gen 3G Treo details emerge
The information on Palm's wizard-themed Gandalf smartphone continues to drip out, like warm molasses from the mouth of a drunken child, and it looks like its official name will be the far less magical Treo 500. A 3G handset using HSDPA and Bluetooth 2.0, there'll be two main differentiations - a Windows Mobile 6 version and a non-touchscreen alternative running a new incarnation of the Palm OS - and then a number of colour options.

Palm Treo 755p hands-on review
Palm’s new Treo 755p offers an excellent balance of form, features and applications. Sprint’s speedy EV-DO network combined with ease of use makes the Palm Treo 755p the most well-rounded smartphone on the market today. It is packed with internal and external improvements that many Treo fans have been waiting and wishing for. The 755p is available in two fashionable colors – burgundy and midnight blue.
Palm’s new Treo 755p may look like its cousin 750v, but that’s as far as it goes. Unlike the 750v running Windows Mobile, the 755p sports Palm OS 5.4.9. It is a big improvement over the existing Treo 700p, featuring a slimmer form factor with new internal antenna, and updated software. Other new features found on the 755p include miniSD card slot, Instant Messaging application, and trial version of the Mobile Voice Control. For the first time ever, Google Map for mobile, Microsoft Direct Push Technology for email and Bejeweled game are integrated into the ROM to free up user available storage space (60 MB).
SlashGear Review: Samsung’s waif-like SGH-i320 Smartphone
If you read anything other than Electrodes Monthly then you’ll have noticed that there’s something of a backlash at the moment against “the cult of size zero” and super-skinny models. Once mainstream media has finished flambéing Kate Moss and friends, I can only assume they’ll turn their dark attentions to other proud advocates of the less-is-more ethos, the ever-shrinking mobile phone. And I fear Samsung has perhaps most to worry about, with their harem of millimeter-thin candybars and wafer-like clamshells; most scorn, though, will be heaped on their so-called smartphones that really ought to know better than extreme dieting.
It’s one of those smartphones I’ve been testing over the past few weeks, and a model that has caused no little amount of confusion. Ostensibly similar to the much-hyped Blackjack, which launched last year to fanfare, squeals of delight and outraged disappointment at the “blink and you miss it” battery life, the similarly slim i320 is more of a feature-spared younger sibling that lacks the high-speed HSDPA and instead makes do with quad-band GSM EDGE for its data shuffling.
SlashGear Review: T-Mobile’s Sidekick 3 in the UK
Here’s a prediction for you: the Sidekick iD will never make it over the Atlantic to the UK. And lest you accuse me – as some already have – of being anti-iD, I’ll tell you why. In the US, the Sidekick 3 will set you back $199.99 with a contract, that’s after a $200 rebate T-Mobile hope to tempt you with. Whereas over here you can pick it up free with a new contract; there’s simply no market for a cut-down version of the SK3.
You might not think it were the case, but T-Mobile UK has been selling the Sidekick 3 since December last year. Yet even now, in the middle of April, their site has no mention of it. Enthusiasts, upgrading from the second-generation handset, talk of poor publicity as a sign of the operator not being 100% behind the cellphone; I managed to get my hands on one to see whether it was worth the fuss.
WiFi upgrade for Treo 750
While I had to send back the Treo 750v I reviewed in January, it looks like Mitchell over at Gear Diary is keeping his. Sounds like we shared more than just the same handset, though; one of the concerns I had, and that Mitchell echoes, was that relying on the cellular data rather than having any sort of WiFi option would be a) slow and b) expensive. In my own experience it turned out to be plenty fast enough, and the convenience of not worrying about whether I was in router range made it all worthwhile; Mitchell on the other hand has been looking at other ways to get his 802.11 fix.

Treo 750 gets general European release
Fresh from Palm comes news that the Treo 750, previously only available through specific carriers in Europe, will now be on sale in general phone stores on any network, as well as direct from Palm's own website.
If you read SlashPhone's review of the 750v, the Vodafone UK-branded version, then you'll know that it's a great phone with some excellent added features by Palm that makes the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS even easier to use. I know there are plenty of people who'd like to upgrade to this 3G, UMTS/HSDPA smartphone, and now they'll be able to do so without needing to leave their operator.

SlashGear Review: Samsung Z560 with HSDPA
Readers of my personal blog will know the stress I’ve had recently around moving house and trying to take my ADSL broadband connection with me. To cut a tedious story short, despite claims to the contrary I was without internet access for a little over a fortnight; now that might not sound like much, but to a dedicated net-addict like myself it put a serious dent in my day to day life.
Since my phone line was also waiting to be connected, that meant dial-up was a non-starter, and so as the withdrawal symptoms began to get worse (shaking hands, excess perspiration, a tendency to shout out phrases like “purge the cache!” and “dot com!”) I looked around desperately for a way to sate my need for the interweb. And then my twitching eye fell onto the Samsung SGH-Z560.
T-Mobile UK had sent me this unassuming clamshell a week or so back, it being one of the first models to support HSDPA on their network. Unfortunately its arrival had coincided with that of a Treo 750v, and the smartphone had gobbled up most of my attention (you can follow my path to push-email redemption in my Treo 750v review).
