Today, Verizon Wireless, the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, announced the highly anticipated Palm Treo 755p, which Sprint has had in metallic red and blue since last spring. Verizon’s version is a metallic dark bluish-green.

The new device follows the Windows Mobile Treo 700wx, which hit the market in February this year and the Palm OS Treo 700p, which arrived May 2006. The announcement comes a day before Palm’s scheduled investor relations conference call and before Christmas season, which makes it the perfect gift for the Palm fans.

Palm Treo 755p is now available on Verizon’s website for $400 with two-year contract and a $100 on-line discount. In addition, this telecom is offering a $50 mail-in rebate, dropping the price to $350.

One the best features of this Smartphone is a voice control application, which Verizon added in order to allow its users to place a call, launch an application and perform other functions with spoken commands.

Compared to its Treo 700p predecessor, the Treo 755p is smaller and slimmer having 5.6 ounces. It also has a high-resolution, color touch-screen for quick stylus access to applications, and a full QWERTY keyboard for easy e-mail creation, Web browsing and text messaging. The Treo 755p offers features such as a 1.3 megapixel camera and build-in support for Microsoft, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents and PDF documents. It has 128 megabytes of internal memory, meaning almost 64 megabytes of internal storage available to users and a miniSD slot with support for SDHC.

Verizon Wireless customers using the Treo 755p will benefit of Verizon wireless’ EV-DO high-speed network to send and receive data. It is already known that Verizon’s broadband network is the most reliable national wireless broadband network in the country and available from coast to coast.
 
Verizon customers using the Treo 755p can also have the possibility to get directions, perform local searches, view maps, satellite imagery and traffic updates while on-the-go once installing Google Maps.

Palm Inc, known to be the global leader and innovator of easy-to-use mobile products, which comes to people help offering them the possibility to stay connected while on-the-go, has already announced its intention to release an entirely new Palm OS Linux Platform in 2009, which represents an evolutionary step in the Treo product line.
