Thanks to a few BlackBerrys, we have the ability to keep our standard “there aren’t any HotSpot@Home-compatible smartphones!” argument to a minimum here, but still — you’ve gotta admit that T-Mobile’s seriously going overboard with the midrange WiFi handsets. It looks like the upcoming t339 flip will be yet another, thanks to FCC documentation showing the presence of 802.11 aboard its thin, brownish shell. For what it’s worth, this could end up being the sexiest HotSpot@Home dumbphone yet (we’re not huge fans of the Katalyst’s look, we admit), but still, guys, give us an N95 or something. Please. No release date here yet, but we’ll keep y’all in the loop.

Feeling pressure from its smaller, sexier, newer cousin — and every other smartphone, for that matter — it looks like the Palm Treo 755p has taken its final bow on Sprint. With the Centro stealing the overwhelming majority of the Garnet limelight as of late, it seems there might be little business justification for another Palm OS device on Sprint’s network; ironically, Verizon’s version just launched four months ago, so we wouldn’t sound the final death knell for the devicejust yet. For what it’s worth, the classic Treo form factor lives on Sprint thanks to the 700wx — another Palm device that’s getting just a tiny long in the tooth (like 2006 long in the tooth). We’ll admit, we’ll probably shed a swift tear or two when the old-guard Treo line finally takes a permanent vacation in favor of newer, more modern looking designs, but we’re not really mustering much eye moisture for the 755p here.

Update: We’ve gotten word straight from the horse’s mouth that the 755p isn’t discontinued — it’s merely out of stock, hence the disappearance from Sprint’s site. They’re “addressing [the] temporary outage of inventory,” though, so if you’ve got a hankering for the bigger Garnet piece in Sprint’s lineup, hang tight!
