While there's a lineup of upcoming high-end HTC smartphones scheduled for H2 launch, Palm doesn't intend to fall back and is set to release its new Treo 800w on Sprint in the near future.

The handset will be available on July 22 in Charcoal Black color scheme.

Here are some of its known features:

• EVDO Rev. A;
• Windows Mobile 6.

O2 has picked up the new Palm Treo 500, previously an exclusive to Vodafone.

It is a business-centric smartphone powered by Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard and featuring 900/1800/1900Mhz GSM radio, 2100Mhz UMTS, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and a microSD card slot. You can get the handset for free if you take the appropriate wireless plan.

According to a secret e-mail message sent to a limited number of people, Palm intends to start beta testing of its new handset.

In particular, the company is inviting "seasoned business professionals" who constantly use Wi-Fi and spend much time working on email and on the phone. The new phone is most likely the Treo 800w, a WiFi-enabled Windows Mobile 6.

Palm's CEO Ed Colligan announced that the company will not release any new Windows Mobile Treo's this quarter, which means we probably won't see the much anticipated Palm Treo 800w in the nearest future, atleast until Summer.

Too bad, according to Colligan this handset "will be the most competitive enterprise solution in the marketplace", and could actually save Palm, which has a hard time surviving on the smartphone market.

Sprint Palm Treo 755p owners will be glad to hear that there's a new firmware update available for their buggy handset. Reportedly, the new ROM v1.07 should improve "audio, stability, software quality and device usability", however there are no concrete update details published at this time, unfortunately.

Anyway, MS Windows users can flash their device over HotSync or SD-card installation; Mac users can only use the SD-card installation method.

If you recall, not long ago we mentioned that Verizon Wireless is going to make Palm Treo 755p available for its customers.

Now we know when this will happen and how much the device will cost. Treo 755p should be available online on December 17, and in Verizon stores starting January 7.

You'll be able to get it for $449.
