I am Carrying the Palm Treo Pro Now
Posted by Chris Leckness on 10/6/08 in Palm, Palm Treo
I got the Palm Treo Pro last Thursday. I haven’t had any time to take photos or videos, but those will be available on Mobilitysite in the next couple days.
So far I am impressed. Windows 6.1 runs amazingly fast on the hardware, the form factor is Super Slim. Photos can’t do the phone any real justice. This thing is ultra thin compared to the AT&T Tilt or Treo 750.
What I miss so far is the Palm love that has become synomous with Treo Phones. The ease of one hand calling has been somewhat limited without their software key shortcuts on the today screen.
Another small, early complaint is the black glossy finish on the back. The Palm Treo Pro is a fingerprint magnet. That’s not my main concern though. I am more worried about the Treo Pro slipping out of my hand. It lacks the rubbery feel that the Treo 750 had.
Like I said, I will have photos and video up tonight or tommorow. I did take a snapshot to test the camera. Read on to check out that photo.
I complain about the lack of “Palm Magic” added to the Treo Pro’s version of Windows Mobile, but when I sent this photo via email to this computer, I did notice a nifty change to the Default “My Text”.
The 2 MegaPixel camera takes some decent shots, but nothing to write home about…

Stay tuned for more about the Palm Treo Pro.

The problem is that it’s already a year behind the market place, if you compare white papers for the Tilt and the Treo Pro

the tilt is still comparable if not better hardware.
I have never used a Palm, so I can’t speak for the user experience, but it seems foolish to purchase last year tech for todays prices.

This phone is ultra thin and very lightweight to boot.
I look forward to your review, it must be a reliogous experience to use palm devices.
I haven’t decided yet which way I will go to upgrade, I have four phones currently due to be replaced(two Tilts a Blackberry and a blackjack 2), so I may go with four different devices.

I agree with the guy who mentioned yesterdays technology but at the same time I will not buy a Palm with Windows. I had a Treo 650 and loved it. I can buy many phones with windows Palm can keep theirs.
My new Moto Q is just fine, gonna wait for better OS.
