After the recent events, nobody should be surprised to hear that Palm has just EOL’d the unlocked GSM version of the Palm Treo 680 according to various industry sources.

The Palm Treo 680 can be considered the last business Treo for GSM – its successor, the Treo Pro, shares the Centro’s barely usable screen and form factor.

Our long-term friend Jan Slodicka from Resco states the following:

I use a Treo 680 every day and like it very much – the Centro is not at all a replacement. The Treo 680 still sells quite a bit of software and is very popular with our users…I can not understand this decision.

What do you think?

  1. That’s just too bad Palm keeps spinning their wheels. Going from Treo 600 to 650 to the dreadful 700 and now on the 755 (all REAL PalmOS devices) it is sad to see Palm treating their core product so poorly. They have given up the business user to Windows Mobile and now by force feeding PalmOS fans to the crappy Centro with it’s tiny screen and spongey KB. It’s about time for Palm to either make something out of their core OS again or just fold.

    All the best
