Many Palm phone fans are waiting for a CDMA version of the Palm Treo Pro so they can use the cell phone on the Verizon network.
This may not be long according to a rumor from Cens.com, they are reporting that there will be a Palm Treo Pro Verizon release soon. Plans are apparently being made for a code division multiple access version of the Pro.
This version will be supplied by HTC and by supported by Sprint and Verizon service providers. If this becomes true, then we will see a return to dual CDMA/GSM version Palm phones. We are also hearing that Verizon Wireless may pass on the Treo 800w for the CDMA version of Treo Pro, we will update you if we get a release date.

I was speaking with a verizon rep today and they told me they have the treo pro on the magical promo sheet. I would expect the phone before the end of February. No indications of price yet, I would guess between $249-$299.
lost my treo 700w back in Nov - went to blackberry storm and switched back to treo - Not sure why Palm flounders - they really have a superior product line
I broke down and got the BB Storm a few months ago. I’m actually pretty impressed with it. Lots of capability, and I’ve gotten quite used to the touch screen. Typing is definitely a little slower than it is on a physical keyboard but it’s acceptable to me. Only things I really wish it had are WiFi and an external SD slot (it has one inside the battery cover pre-populated with an 8GB Micro SDHC out of the box).
I just couldn’t wait around anymore since it was apparent Verizon had no intentions of releasing a new Treo anytime soon. I considered the Samsung Saga, but the company wouldn’t spring for one of those when Verizon was running buy one get one free with the Storm.
It is ironic how when you really want something such as the Treo Pro, availability is not there. I have been with Verizon for 10 years not looking to change, but they are not willing to help me get this phone. So should I change. Corporate mentalities are not the greatest sometimes. They are more worried about making a dollar more and not making their customers happy.
I have officially just converted back to my old Treo wx. I was in the mood for a new phone and purchased the Samsung Omnia and it sucked. I would rather deal with my trusty treo as opposed to the clumsy Omnia. PLEASE get me a new treo on the Verizon Network!!!!
Andrew, I made the same mistake. Bought the Samsung Omnia and returned it 20 days later. I turned on the treo again and was back in business. Anyone know when verizon is going to offer a new treo line?
I’m about to switch to Alltel so I can get the Treo Pro… Does it make a difference? I’m with verizon now and my plan is up…
