Sprint Treo Pro officially unavailable again -- for now


We've received official word from the good folks at Sprint that the Treo Pro wasn't supposed to be posted today, hence the unceremonious removal of every last trace of the thing within hours of its unveiling. According to the company, the phone will be sold just as soon as it makes it through the "customary testing process," but it's any guess how much longer they think that's going to take at this point. All told, it probably wasn't the way Sprint had hoped to take the wraps off, but let's be honest, we knew this was coming for a hot minute now -- we just want the Buy link, guys. See the full statement after the break.
"Sprint inadvertently posted information on Sprint.com regarding an upcoming product, Palm Treo Pro, this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Sprint looks forward to welcoming this exciting, new device into our portfolio as soon as it has been approved through our customary testing process. We will share details on the correct availability date as soon as the standard testing of both the device and its interaction with our network has concluded. Thank you for your interest in Sprint products."
