Last month Alltel started carrying the Treo 755p in a charcoal color. Also, we heard rumors last month that Verizon would have the Palm Treo 755p, and then a little later, Verizon officially announced they’d be getting the 755p in November.

Verizon has posted a teaser page on their site now saying that the Treo 755p will be coming soon. From the pictures, the Verizon 755p looks to be teal green color. Now that’s different! I always enjoy seeing color variations in Palm’s smartphones.

The teaser page doesn’t say when Verizon will start carrying the 755p. You can sign up for updates though. The Treo 755p threads over at the TreoCentral forums have posts from members duscussing the rumored release dates.

Palm has released a new audio patch for the Treo 700w & 700wx smartphones on Verizon.  While on a call, the Treo 700w|wx will dim or shut off the touchscreen after a period of time. The device will “wake up” to address the 2nd call or voicemail notification, however, when returning to the dimmed state, the device may incorrectly enter a suspend mode. This mode disables the speaker and microphone.  This update will solve this issue, follow the jump for download and install instructions.

If battery life is important to you, then you might want to think twice. CNET has just published the results of their recent battery tests, and the Zune 80 isn’t looking too good in the face of some stiff competition. According to CNET, the Zune 80 was only able to swing 22 hours of  audio playback without Wi-Fi enabled. Turn on that wireless function and you’re looking at roughly 18.5 hours of playback. That’s great, but the 80GB version of the new iPod Classic was able to play for a staggering 45 hours before calling it quits. To be fair, the Zune does have a significantly larger screen than the iPod Classic, but is it worth a runtime that’s half as good?
