Malatesta brought you the world's only hands-on, and we've already told you what's now confirmed: The long-awaited (though not quite as awaited anymore) Sprint Treo Pro finally will launch on March 15.
It'll go for $199.99 with a two-year contract, $100 instant rebate and $100 mail-in rebate. You'll also have to have an Everything plan with at least $30 of data a month.
So there you have it, folks. The Sprint Treo Pro. More on Palm's site here, and full presser after the break.

Comments
nice to see that a CDMA version of the Treo Pro does in fact exist, just wish Sprint didn't suck as bad as it does in my area or I would think of getting one. I guess I will just have to wait till it is on a carrier that works in my area. I also wish Palm would offer the CDMA in an unlocked version like they do with the GSM version so I could pick another carrier.
Alltel is launcing their Treo Pro on March 5th.
As seen at WMExperts. :)
Don't get me wrong, I love my gsm treo pro, but "combining a LARGE touch screen" seems like a silly tag line for this phone.
I really want this phone. But like 1 year ago! How can I buy this with only 3 months to the Pre? Too Bad.. But I'm used to this type of letdown being with Sprint and Palm for 10 years!
I thought microSDHC was supported to 32GB. Can someone confirm?
Confirmed, but 32gb cards don't exist yet.
