So I posted last week about the Treo 700w and how Engadget managed to get their hand on one. Well yesterday the Treo was officially announced. They didn’t have any special details that we didn’t already know about, but one bad thing is that the screen’s resolution is 240 x 240 and not 320 x 320. This is a shame, as it would have certainly made a lot more people buy it.

They haven’t announced an official naming scheme for the device quite yet, and are currently referring to it affectionately as the “Treo smartphone on Windows Mobile.” They’re opening up the Q&A now with the warning that they won’t be announcing any further specs or pricing at this time. When pressed on release schedule, Palm President and CEO Ed Colligan indicated “very early next year.”
