Mobile phone operator Sprint has finally released to the market the highly anticipated Palm Treo Pro, which is now available for purchase starting March 15th. This Windows Mobile 6.1-based handset comes forth with the latest version of Internet Explorer Mobile 6, while also offering users mobile versions of Microsoft Office and Outlook.

As many of you might already know, Sprint delayed the device quite a few times before actually making it available, and some even doubted that the company would finally release the Treo Pro on its airwaves on the 15th of March.

The new sleek device is available on Sprint for $199.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement with the carrier, and after a mail-in rebate of $100. The operator also states that the mail-in rebate “requires an Everything plan, Data Premier add-on or PRO Pack add-on.“ Without a contract, the new Treo Pro features a price tag of $549.99.

The mobile phone comes to users with some nice features like a full QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen display able to provide a 320 x 320 pixel resolution, as well as an instant Wi-Fi button to facilitate operations with the device even more, while the high-capacity battery offers a lot of power for long usage. The handset features Microsoft Direct Push Technology, as well as support for POP3 and IMAP including AOL, Gmail, Earthlink, and Yahoo!.

Among the key features Sprint says the new Palm Treo Pro will feature we can count support for Sprint Music Store, Sprint TV enabled, GPS capabilities, Web and email capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, speakerphone, memory card slot for additional 8GB of storage space, voice dialing, Wi-Fi connectivity, a built-in 2-megapixel photo snapper with digital zoom and video recording capabilities, as well as a slim and fashionable design.
