While the CDMA/EV-DO version of the Palm Eos will have to wait until 2010, AT&T users can expect the GSM version of this webOS handset in October of this year.
Taiwan-based handset maker Compal Communications is expected to start volume shipments of Palm’s entry-level smartphones, the Eos, in October 2009, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.
As an AT&T user dying for smartphone alternatives to the iPhone and Windows Mobile devices, I’m excited for the Palm Eos’ debut! The front-facing QWERTY keyboard is not one of my favorite form factors, I would have rather seen Palm Eos sport the slide-out keyboard like its cousin, Palm Pre, but the touchscreen is encouraging. Because of the iPhone’s competitive price point, my only other hope is that the Palm Eos’ price will be just as competitive. There are big webOS and Android-shaped holes in AT&T’s line-up, so I hope the Palm Eos will be the first of many smartphone alternatives for those of us who don’t want an iPhone. Yes, we exist.
