Treo 680 Coming to Cingular - October 2006

[Mod]

Palm Treo 680An image of a Palm Treo 680 with Cingular branding has been discovered live on Palm's software store. The Treo 680 is the likely "lower priced Treo" recently hinted at by Palm's CEO and also confirms previously leaked info on a Palm OS Treo due out in October.

An image of a Cingular branded Treo 750 has also been uncovered.

The Treo 680 design seems to resemble the 750v. It is a GSM device running Palm OS Garnet. Some small differences can be inferred from the picture. It seems there is no IR port along the side of the device. It also appears to have a larger memory card cover, which could indicate that this unit uses standard SD cards.

However, since Vodofone has an exclusive on the 750 in Europe, it is thought that Cingular won't be able to release an unlocked version until that exclusive period is up. Some Cingnular employees (who they are we don't nkow) are reporting they received "a 2 week notice on the Treo 750w," which would put launch date around the beginning of October. Stay tuned for more.
