More Cingular Treo 650 Rumblings

In Smartphones : Treo

cingular_treo650.jpg imageQuite a few people have been waiting for Cingular to get the PalmOne Treo 650, since up to now the only way to get a hold of the smartphone is to sign up with Sprint's CDMA service. It's definitely going to happen soon—there have just been too many signals heralding its release this week to think otherwise—but this is the first actual, branded picture I've seen of the phone. It looks like a Treo 650... with a Cingular logo. Amazing, I know.

The Treo 650 on Cingular should support EDGE, the stop-gap GSM data speed up that should put the Cingular model's data speeds on par with Sprint's (give or take). Until Verizon drops the price of their EV-DO offerings (and gets an EV-DO Treo, hopefully), Cingular's pretty much the only other mid-range data speed game in town.

Enfora Wi-Fi Sled for Treo

In Smartphones : Treo

enfora_sled.jpg imageA company called Enfora has released a funky-looking sled that clips to the back of the PalmOne Treo 600 and 650 that ads Wi-Fi (802.11b), freeing you up to use the SD card slot for other things (like storage). Each sled has its own battery that will enable up to 3 hours of Wi-Fi use and 5 days of standby, meaning you've got a fighting chance of actually getting some work done before it runs out of juice. The Treo 600 version is set to ship in February with the 650 version to follow in March—both for about $150.

treocentral.com >> Stories >> Commentary >> International CES 2005 Coverage: "WiFi Sled for 600 and 650 A company called enfora was demonstrating a non-functional Wifi Sled for the Treo 600 and Treo 650. The sled connects to the serial port, and comes with drivers that allows for full TCP/IP connectivity on the Treo. The sled has its own internal battery, allowing for longer usage times. Battery life is stated as 5 days standby, 24 hrs usage. Since the sleds at the show were not functional, we were not able to determine the throughput. The serial connection will probably be a limiting factor. List price is $149, and the 600 version will ship in February, the 650 version in March. Correction: Changed price to $149. "
