Abstract: After months of speculation, the curtain was finally pulled back on the hotly anticipated Palm Treo Pro. The latest revolution from Palm sees the company jam-packing the new smartphone with intelligent features and an original, sleek design. The Palm T...
The Treo Pro is a fairly solid device for Palm. It is easy to delight in the fact that this design has seen yet another revision but has largely kept the trademark ergonomics intact. The smaller size, addition of Wi-Fi, GPS, increased resolution, and ...
In terms of design, performance and non-OS features, this is the best hardware Palm has ever made. Though my personal dislike of WinMo has me wishing it ran the PalmOS, the truth is that this is a phone for the corporate crowd, and WinMo 6.1 can do th...

Abstract: Review: Palm Treo Pro By John Biggs August 27th, 2008
Svelte for a touch-screen handset. Several thoughtful design touches. Sharp screen resolution. Supports Wi-Fi, HSDPA 3.6, and GPS with turn-by-turn directions.
Some performance hiccups. Cramped keyboard.
Palm scores big with this shrewdly specified enterprise smartphone, even if the lack of a subsidized, carrier-backed version keeps mainstream users away....
Thin, Hits all the big features, Good battery life, Treo design touches
Keyboard, Lack of Soft Buttons
The Treo Pro is easily Palms best Treo yet. It finally hits all of the feature checkmarks that users have been clamoring for and does it in a way thats well-integrated with the hardware. Where other smartphones have a tendency to just throw hardware...
The Palm Treo Pro boasts a sleek design and offers a wide range of wireless options, including Wi-Fi, HSDPA, Bluetooth, and GPS. The Windows Mobile smartphone also provides many productivity and communication tools for the business user.
The Treo Pro is too expensive and can be sluggish at times. The QWERTY keyboard is cramped and doesnt really suit the business feel of the device.
The Palm Treo Pro offers significant improvements in the design and features department, but the smartphone doesnt offer anything revolutionary and costs more than its competitors, which will make it a hard sell. Specifications: OS provided: Microsoft...
Stylish design, Helpful shortcuts, Fast 3G and Wi-Fi data, Strong call quality, Loud speaker
Mediocre keyboard, No flash for camera, Back cover difficult to remove, Pricey
With the Palm Treo Pro, we can say for the first time in a couple of years that we wouldn’t mind being seen carrying a Treo. Yes, Palm has released a smart phone that isn’t bulky. In fact, the Treo Pro (sold unlocked for $549) looks downright...
Trim, light and pocketable. Shortcuts prove beyond useful. Decent 2MP pics. MicroUSB! Battery lasts almost two full days. 3.5mm headphone jack. PPT/Excel/Word and PDFreading, of course. Google Maps AND TeleNav GPS, which offers turnbyturn directions plus...
Menu scrolling is about as fluid as a piece of dolomite. Slippery "obsidian" plastic casing retains more fingerprints than the NSA. Noticeable screen glare. Curved design comprised by bottomside USB/headphone jack that should be recessed more. Bluetooth n...
