Sprint delaying Palm Treo Pro until end of February for voice + data functionality?
Last we heard, Sprint was gearing up to launch the Palm Treo Pro in CDMA-guise on February 15. It’s a good thing we didn’t put too much faith in either Sprint or Palm’s rumored plans to get their Sprint Treo Pro out to market within weeks. The latest rumblings to make their way down the…

With its slim profile, capable feature-set, and slick lens cover, you’d have a hard time believing that the Sony Ericsson C903 “Frances” is supposed to be the Sony Ericsson C905’s down-range sibling.
