According to several articles posted last night, High Tech Computer (HTC) just started shipping the next Treo model to PalmOne in large quantities. HTC is apparently the company that is manufacturing the phone, and they probably best known for PocketPC phones. Consumers will probably still have to wait till at least some time in October to buy one of these, and undoubtedly not all carriers will have one immediately. There was no word on whether these models were all CDMA, GSM, or a mixture. GSM and CDMA are the two competing digital cell communications protocols in the U.S. GSM is the internationally dominating format. In the U.S., AT&T/Cingular, and T-Mobile provide GSM service and Sprint and Verizon provide CDMA.
