Palm Treo 755p priced at $280
Thanks to a reader who emailed me with a question about the latest Treo, I landed on the front page of the Palm website tonight and was greeted by this pair of brand new 755p smartphones.

Listed as "Coming Soon!" with an attractive price of $280 (with service agreement through Sprint), the 755p is a mostly cosmetic upgrade to the existing 700p. It’s all about downsizing apparently, as the new device has lost about an ounce, a tenth of an inch, and the antenna stub. If it weren’t for all that and a miniSD card slot, the two Treos would be just about identical. In fact, their internals are!
Like the 700p, the 755p is equipped with:
- Palm OS 5.4.9
- 128MB memory
- Intel XScale 312MHz processor
- 320 x 320 TFT display (65K colors)
- 1.3-megapixel digital camera
- Bluetooth 1.2 and EVDO
Noteworthy and unique features of the Treo include integrated (as in preloaded onto the ROM) Google Maps, Sprint Mobile instant messaging, and built-in Microsoft Direct Push Technology.
