More news is developing via Palm Addicts about possible information on a new PalmOS Treo with information apparently coming originally from a post at the TreoCentral forums.

There are some pictures that clearly show a Sprint phone this time. Could it be that this one is being released first by Sprint, who just finished a prime advertising product placement in the tv show 24? If their data plan stays reasonably priced (based on customer comments, it's currently a bargain at about $15/month unlimited data for the Treo 650), this is great news for people hoping to stay connected for web browsing, email and messaging without breaking the bank.

Rumored [700p] specs include:

* EVDO (high speed data connectivity)
* Pocket Tunes (as opposed to Real Player on the 650)
* Sprint TV
* Documents to Go version 8
* Blazer 4.5 in ROM
* 62.8M of free space for programs
* 320x320 display
* PalmOS Garnet 5.4.9
* Camera with 1280x1024 resolution
* A much faster user interface than on the Treo 650

Now those are some specs that will get you excited, even if they are just rumors for now!

(Thanks Sammy at Palm Addict for the hot tip!)

Update: Be sure not to miss Justin's post on this topic (like I did!)
Update2: You can scratch the 800p rumors now. It is admitted to be a fake. But the 700p rumors continue strong thus far.
