Palm OS fans on Verizon Wireless finally have a reason to rejoice. Today marks the official release of the Treo 755p on the Verizon network, a full six months after the device’s release on Sprint. Signs of the 755's release on Verizon have frequently appeared and disappeared over the past six months before customer reports of 755p availability through Verizon’s B2B channels began trickling in last week.

The Palm Treo 755p from Verizon Wireless is available for $399.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and new two-year customer agreement. Customers who purchase a qualified voice plan along with a data plan may be eligible for an additional $100 credit making the Treo 755p $299.99 for those customers.

Verizon Wireless users who have been waiting impatiently since May for the Treo 755p to show up on their network of choice can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Reports are trickling into PIC as well as online forums from customers who have already been able to order a Verizon 755p through Verizon's B2B telesales channels. Other reports go on to claim that a December 17th or 18th B2B release date is in the cards. Unconfirmed reports indicate widespread VZW retail store available is not expected until January 8th, however.

Many recent reports from Verizon Wireless corporate employees were suggesting a November 28th launch date but then some corporate store staff reported that the device had failed testing and was being "sent back" for further tests. Just last week Palm issued a warning regarding a forthcoming Q2 loss to be reported. Their earnings for the quarter were adversely affected by a carrier-delayed device, widely acknowledged to be the Verizon 755p.
