It looks like the rumors that have been surrounding the upcoming release of the Palm Treo 800w for Sprint will indeed come true. As we previously reported, the launch date was rumored to be July 13, and it looks like that has since been confirmed. Of course, July 13 is when the regular, or non-enterprise customers will be able to get their hands on one. The Treo 800w will first be available beginning July 9 for enterprise customers.
The Treo 800w will set users back $599.99 if you choose to go in without a contract, or a much more reasonable $249.99 along with a two-year agreement.
In addition to the Treo 800w it looks like Sprint customers can expect the red BlackBerry Curve to land at the same time, and the LG Rumor in blue to follow later in the month of July.
