SlashPhone plays with the Treo 680 – Video Unboxing

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Nov 22nd 2006 No Comments

Our sister site, SlashPhone, have scored some hands-on time with Palm’s latest Treo, the 680, and put up both an unboxing video and a video run-through of the menu system. The former is shown below; the latter is over on their site. What do they think? Well, it’s still chunkier than rivals like the Dash, there’s no 3G or WiFi, but the screen is gorgeous.

For anybody wondering how they managed to make the 680 thinner than previous Palm models, they also have photos of different generation batteries, as well as comparison shots with the T-Mobile Dash and the Treo 750.

This shouldn’t come as a surprised to everyone that Palm is due to release the Treo 680 through Cingular. The Cingular version will cost $199.99 available on Friday Nov. 24, 2006. Palm is also making selling unlocked version of the Treo 680 at Palm U.S. retail stores after Dec 1, 2006 for $399.00.

Palm’s Treo 680 smartphone is easy to use and packed full of features beyond its stellar phone capability, such as email, web browsing, messaging, multimedia, calendar, contacts and more with a smaller and sleeker design than its Treo predecessors in the United States.

Details after the cut, people.

After the launch of the Palm Treo 680 (Oi, you at the back, stop chanting “poor man’s 750v”!) one of the big unanswered questions was which of the big US carriers would actually start selling it.

Palm Treo 750v Finally Announced

By Vincent Nguyen on Tuesday, Sep 12th 2006 No Comments

The Treo 750v is possibly the worse kept secret ever! Leaks oozed out everywhere weeks back; and now the smartphone is officially announced and available in Europe with an exclusivity of 3 months. The new device is designed to take advantage of Vodafone’s 3G networks, featuring 240×240 resolution screen, miniSD, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and Windows Media Player. This is a huge disappointment that WiFi was left out – mad.
