Comments on: San Diego Police Arms Officers with Treo Smartphones

Palm today announced that the San Diego Police Department (SDPD), a department serving one of the 10 most populated cities in the United States, has deployed Palm Treo 700w smartphones throughout its workforce. SDPD's Treo smartphone solution puts more officers in the field, reduces time spent at subdivisions on desktop computers accessing information, lightens device load and keeps dispersed field officers connected. It's also an easy solution for the new technology department to maintain. The beaming feature lets technology officers load all the applications and complete setup in just three minutes.

With so little memory, how could they possibly have 'Donut Chase' running in the b/g while sending and SMS? Upgrade em' to the WX in 6 month$ Palm. Probably dumped remaining stock on em' anyway.

No doubt SD got a huge price break on a device that is 13+ months old and about to be removed from the Palm product line. But it is also a pretty dumb deal even if SD got a committment from Palm to provide an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 later this year.

Or on a device that the only carrier that has carried them declined to carry anymore resulting in massive inventory of them for PALM or one of their wholesalers.
