Verizon signed up to get Treo 700wx

Sprint scored a rare rib on CDMA rival Verizon when it went straight past the Verizon-exclusive Treo 700w to launch the 700wx, but as the old saying goes, all good exclusivity agreements come to an end. New rebate verbage spotted by a customer on Verizon's website makes mention of a $100 rebate on the 700wx -- $150 for the soon-to-be-outmoded 700w -- and even better, the rebate expires February 19, suggesting that there's a sliver of hope we'll see a launch in the next few weeks. To be fair, the re-upped model is nearly identical to its predecessor save for an extra 32MB of RAM, correcting a major complaint from current owners but otherwise adding little to no excitement value. No word on pricing, but hey, at least we know we'll be getting $100 off whatever it might go for.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

also @ Joe:

You didn't happen to notice a certain Titan/6700 at that launch did you?

The 700wx is just an memory upgrade. Why doesn't Verzion just get the treo 750 first before Sprint gets it?

Answer: Because the 750 is a GSM device... I haven't heard anything about a CDMA version being produced. If anyone has, please post something.

I talked with a very knowledgeable Verizon Rep who said that after this came out that later on in the year a Treo 750-esque worldphone would be coming out. Now, I don't mean to say he was correct, but it would be nice and he did know his stuff. Talked to a really dumb Palm (or whatever they call themselves now) and he said there was no possibility that even the wx would come to Verizon that Verizon had seen its last phone with the p. Who knows.

I just want the i760 out....now!
