[Mobilepartners] Palm Treo 755p from Verizon Wireless

[Matthew Sullivan]

	For the loyal Palm OS users out there, you may be happy to know that  
Verizon has finally released their Palm Treo 755p. 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.
