Treo 680 Retired at AT&T
In what should come as little surprise, the Palm Treo 680 smartphone has just been EOL'd at AT&T according to a newly leaked company document obtained by the Boy Genius Report. The document lists both the standard and crimson colored 680 as end of life. The nearly two year old GSM device has largely been superseded by the trendier Palm Centro, which nearly matches the device spec-wise with a smaller package and lower price point. The Treo 680 debuted on AT&T (then Cingular) back in November 2006. It sold for $199 with a two year contract and data plan. The leaked AT&T roadmap is also notable for what it does not mention in the upcoming "launch column". There are no references to any other upcoming Palm devices, which is not a good sign for anyone holding out for a carrier subsidized Treo Pro.

AT&T kills Treo 680
The recent blow-out sales of the Treo 680 apparently served a hidden cause - the discontinuation of the Treo 680 at AT&T’s. A usually well-informed Engadget spin-off called The Boy Genius Report got their hands onto an AT&T paper stating that all Treo 680 versions are discontinued (EOL’d) in an immediate fashion. AT&T intends to replace the [...]

Palm Treo Pro Finds A US Carrier, Is It AT&T? [Treo Pro]
Palm announced in their quarterly call that it had found an unnamed carrier to sell their new Treo Pro, but declined to mention who, specifically, would peddle the $550 phone (at a potentially subsidized cost). WM Experts seem to think the carrier will be AT&T, which makes enough sense, since AT&T tends to get the big Palm GSM phones first in the US. Though details on pricing and availability were scant, WM Experts thinks it won't hit until December at the earliest (due to AT&T's leaked roadmap today), and Wired believes the subsidized price that comes along with being locked on the AT&T network will bring it down into the 200-300 dollar range. So far, however, this is all speculation. [WM Experts via BGR via Gadget Lab]
