Sprint Treo 700w expected to arrive earlier

According to some analysts from Bear Stearns, Palm is planning to launch the Sprint version of its Windows Mobile-based Treo 700w earlier than expected. CE Stock Blog has an excerpt from their note:

Sprint to offer PALM Treo 700w ahead of schedule, as early as end of February. Based on our channel checks, it appears that Sprint is likely to offer the latest PALM Treo 700w (Windows version) as early as end of February, which would be ahead of schedule (following its launch with Verizon on 1/5) - Sprint version of Treo 700 was not expected until end of March at the earliest based on the historical length of the exclusivity agreements with carriers (i.e., 3-6 months). Sprint is likely to price Treo 700w at $449, at parity with Verizon and a $50 premium to Treo 650. Sprint will offer both models.

This comes as a surprise considering that numerous sources have stated before that Verizon Wireless would have an exclusive on the Treo 700w until at least mid-2006.

So that means Verizon gets shafted on the deal, and Sprint releases both the 700w and 700p. Interesting.
