"A few days ago we posted a rumour that the Sprint Windows Mobile Treo was coming soon. Now we have confirmation that the device at least exists. Posters on the TreoCentral Treo community site has noticed that the device has shown up in the latest copy of Sprint PCS Connection Manager for using your phone as a Modem/USB...there were rumors that Sprint demanded some changes before carrying it. It is now believed that the Sprint Windows Mobile Treo will have 64MB RAM, instead of the 32 Mb which crippled the Verizon model...The device is expected to be released for business customers from 27 August, and for the rest of us by the 3rd September."
Surur speculates that Verizon Palm users won't be the "happiest bunnies in the world". As a bunny in question, my response: it's galling enough that we have to deal with a subpar memory configuration, but the continued lack of tethering support on Verizon's part is what is really irritating me. The suggestion that Sprint will allow tethering out of the box makes me almost ready to ditch Verizon and offload the device. :evil:
