Palm Confirms Treo 700w Name

When Palm and Microsoft announced the first non-Palm OS smartphone from Palm, Inc., for some reason they refused to reveal this device's name.

This happened despite the fact that widely available rumors disclosed that this device will be called the Treo 700.

Thankfully, Palm has given this charade up.

This week, Palm's CEO made a clear reference to the Treo 700w. That's the name for the Verizon Wireless version of this smartphone, the first wireless carrier that will offer it.

Verizon itself has a page on its web site that refers to this model as the treo 700w.

Both companies have said that the first Treo running Windows Mobile will be released early next year.

As it was designed for Verizon, this version will be for CDMA devices. A GSM/GPRS version of the Treo 700 won't be available until next summer at the earliest.
