Palm Treo Pro on Sprint Coming March 15th

It’s been nothing but rumors and hyped-launch dates surrounding the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre, and to a lesser extent the Palm Treo Pro since the beginning of the year. The Treo Pro was supposed to hit Sprint (NYSE: S) in mid-January, and that never surfaced… Then, rumor was the Palm Pre and Treo Pro would be set to hit Sprint by March 15th. Now, some new launch details have dropped.
MobileCrunch has reported that the March 15th date is at least half correct. Half, because they have learned that the Palm Pre will NOT be launching on the 15th, but the Palm Treo Pro WILL. The Treo Pro will effectively replace the 800w on Sprint, but I can hear the sighs of disappointment coming already. Still, this is something. The Treo Pro should be available at Sprint on the 15th for $200 after $200 in rebates.

I have been very patiently waiting for the Pre. I am not sure I can continue. I have been putting off the iphone because of the Pre, but it just doesn’t seem like it is going to happen. We have been fairly happy with Sprint and hate to change to ATT.
I’ve also been waiting for the Pre, but don’t think I can anymore. With no set date for a release, it could be March, April, May, June…
I have no interest in hanging around waiting for Palm to get its act together. They should have never showed the product off if they were so far from releasing it.
