HTC Evo Breaks Sales Records

The HTC Evo, Sprint's new superphone, has broken sales records for the carrier. Although false numbers were first reported because of an error in calculations, it has now been determined that the phone has now sold twice the amount during launch days than the Palm Pre, and six times greater than the Samsung Instinct. Because there were so many activations on launch day, Sprint's activation servers crashed and made it a very long process to get the phones activated. Stores eventually resorted to calling into Sprint to activate the phones. Hopefully the activation issues were from subscribers coming from other carriers and needing new accounts, but we will have to see how many new subscribers Sprint gained from the Evo when results from the quarter have been released.

Treo Pro No Longer on Palm, Sprint Death Sometime Soon?

Palm's last Windows Mobile device, the Treo Pro, has officially left Palm's website. The phone was a popular Windows Mobile device that has a similar design to the Palm Centro. If you still want a piece of Palm's Windows Mobile device, it is still available directly from Sprint, but once it is gone from the phone manufacturer's website, it's probably going to be gone soon. Hopefully with the Treo Pro gone, Palm will make new devices on the modern WebOS platform to take it's place, and fast. (Palm)

Engadget WebOS App Now Available

If you are regular readers of Engadget like me, you have probably checked their website too many times to count on your mobile device. Engadget has now made it easier for you to read everything from their blogs on your WebOS device, with their new app. It's the first app of 2010, too, and the 1000th app in their catalog! You can find the app by searching in the catalog on your Palm device. (Engadget)

WebOS 1.4 Update Now Available

If you have a Palm Pre or Pixi, you might already have updated to the latest OS, WebOS 1.4. The update includes numerous bug fixes and adds a few new features, so if you haven't checked for an update already, it might be time to get the latest OS. (Engadget)

New Smartphone Low Prices

Starting this week, multiple smartphones from Sprint have dropped in price. Here are a few of the dropped phones:

Palm Pixi: $49 (was $99)
HTC Hero: $149 (was $179)
Samsung Moment: $99 (was $179)
Blackberry Tour: $99 (was $149)

Maybe the most notable of these smartphones is the Palm Pixi, which is only a couple of months old. If this is anything like the Pre, the price has dropped so soon because of weak sales. The launch of the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus on Verizon might have a hand in that, though. The Moment is now a great deal if you are looking for an Android phone, especially with the full keyboard and Android 2.1 coming soon. If you are in the market for any new Sprint smartphone, though, now would be the time to buy for low prices. But if you are looking to get the latest and greatest, these price drops might just mean we are going to be getting some new smartphones soon, such as the Bold. (Sprint)
