This device has been available from Sprint for the last six months, but with Verizon's testing process this wait was expected. Some of the benefits that the 755p bring to the table are High-Speed EV-DO data connectivity, larger capacity battery of 1600mAh (Treo 680's had a 1200mAh), VersaMail 3.5.45 w/ Exchange Activesync Support, lighter weight, and a slimmer design without an external antenna. Verizon has also bundled in some applications like built-in support for Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint & PDF documents, and Google Maps. This device would be a great performance upgrade for users with Treo 650's and Treo 680's, users with the Treo 700p may like the slimmer design and no external antenna but will not see a noticeable performance increase. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Availability: </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The MIT/Verizon's site does not have the Treo 755p listed as of yet and is expected to be updated by Jan 7, but in the meantime MIT users can obtain the pricing plans and device via the following Verizon representatives. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>For Corporate, MIT Billed orders/accounts:</div><div>Mark Ouellette - Verizon Wireless Account Executive</div><div>Email: <a href="mailto:Mark.Ouellette@VerizonWireless.com">Mark.Ouellette@VerizonWireless.com</a></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>For Personal, Employee-owned orders/accounts:</div><div>Paulette Nickerson - Verizon Wireless Sales Representative</div><div>Email: <a href="mailto:Paulette.Nickerson@VerizonWireless.com">Paulette.Nickerson@VerizonWireless.com</a></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br></div><div>Review:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Some outside information and reviews of the Verizon Palm Treo 755p.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Palm ~ Overview:</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px;
