The Treo Pro has just made it’s long-awaited debut from Sprint. This is Palm’s latest Windows Mobile smartphone, with 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS,and a built-in keyboard.

Update: Sprint apparently didn’t mean to post this product on its website today, as it has been removed. It will likely return in the next few days.

This model has been available in the U.S. for some time, but Sprint is the first wireless carrier to offer it. Previously, it has been sold by Palm directly to consumers as an unlocked device. In Europe, the Treo Pro is available from Vodafone.

Sprint is charging $200 with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate.

An Overview of the Palm Treo Pro

This smartphone has the design that’s become a hallmark of the Treo line, a candybar shape with 320-by-320-pixel touchscreen above a QWERTY thumb-keyboard.

It runs Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional on a 400 MHz processor from Qualcomm, and comes with the standard suite of productivity applications.

Sprint’s version is a CDMA phone with EV-DO. In addition, it has Wi-Fi and Stereo Bluetooth.

Other Treo Pro features include an external microSD card slot for additional storage, a built-in GPS receiver, and a 2.0 MPx camera.

Sprint says its 1500 mAh battery is good for 5 hours of talk time.
