Telus Mobility has now confirmed that its customers in Canada can now get the Palm Treo Pro smartphone.

The Windows Mobile v. 6.1 wireless device and smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard is targeted at both business users and consumers as well.

Telus customers can now open ZIP files, edit Microsoft Word and Excel documents and view PowerPoint presentations. They can also view PDFs as well said Telus.

For its part, Alltel started selling the Treo Pro about 5 weeks ago. Sprint customers could start buying the device on March 15, but only in Canada.

A specific launch date for the Pre, which has garnered industry buzz since its introduction at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January however has not been announced yet.

It has to pass the usual round of U.S. carrier approval tests, and needs also to be approved by the FCC.

Sprint Nextel still hasn't launched the Palm Treo Pro smartphone in the U.S. at the time of this report.

There are also unconfirmed rumors that Sprint's U.S. customers are getting impatient with Sprint and are asking the wireless carrier how come the handset still isn't available.
