The Palm Treo 755p Is Finally Available For Verizon Customers

The Treo 755p is the top end of the CDMA Palm OS Treo line-up, and it has been available to Sprint and Alltel customers for months. It is roughly the CDMA equivalent to the GSM Treo 680 that I own. Same basic features and form factor, with some differences – the 755p uses MiniSD, the 680 uses standard SD, for example. It is now available for Verizon’s network for as low as $299.99 with a plan, or $579 without a plan commitment.

If you’re a Palm OS user on the Verizon network, it is certainly worth checking out. I wasn’t sure the 680 would be worth upgrading from my old 650, but the updated form factor really is a noticeable improvement. It has a better ‘hand feel’ than the older models. The 755p is a similar improvement on the older 700p, let alone the old 600.

Sony Plays The TV/Blu-ray Bundle Game

Hot on the heels of Panasonic’s Plasma/Blu-ray bundles comes Sony with LCD/Blu-ray bundles of their own. Between 12/16 and 12/22 at Best Buy, purchase a Sony BRAVIA 52″ 1080p KDL-52W3000 LCD HDTV for $2,699.99 (regularly $2,999.99) or the BRAVIA 46″ 1080p KDL-46W3000 LCD HDTV for $2,249.99 (regularly $2,499.99), and the Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray Disc player for $299.99 (regularly $399.99), and get $299.99 off. Which is, not coincidentally, the cost of the Blu-ray player. So you effectively get a free BD player if you buy one of the TVs.

Sales Updates – DVRupgrade and Amazon

A couple of updates to sales items I posted previously.

In an earlier post I listed some sales DVRupgrade is having on the TiVo HD, along with two special offers – an HDMI cable for one penny and the TiVo Glo remote for $30. At the time you could only select one of these special deals. However, after talking to them about it, they said that was an error and they’ve fixed it – now you can get BOTH deals on one order. So the specials are even better.

And just this Saturday I posted about Amazon’s special offer on the Sony BDP-S300, wherein you get the Blu-ray movies Spider-man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, plus five more free via mail-in. When I posted the price on the player was $384.57, but within a day that was dropped to $294.08! Which is where it currently stands.
