The Palm Treo 755p has taken its final bow on Sprint . With the Centro stealing the overwhelming majority of the Garnet limelight as of late, it seems there may be little business justification for another Palm OS device on Sprint’s network; ironically, Verizon’s version just launched four months ago, so we wouldn’t sound the final death knell for the device just yet.
A company spokesperson has sent word that the removal is only temporary. The official statement from Sprint says:
The Treo 755p continues to be a strong product offering in Sprint’s lineup of Palm products which also includes the Centro and the Treo 700wx. Sprint has not discontinued the Treo 755p from its smartphone portfolio, however, we are currently addressing temporary outage of inventory which is why the handset is not currently featured as part of our online store at www.sprint.com. Sprint plans to continue offering these handsets and investing in new Palm products throughout 2008.
The Treo 755p is also still available from Verizon, who only introduced it in December. This carrier does not yet offer the Centro, though there are unconfirmed reports that this will change in the coming weeks.
