Palm Treo Pro

We certainly knew this is coming. Today Palm officially announced the Treo Pro, the best yet Windows Mobile Treo smartphone.

You know the specs, but it’s worth repeating, nonetheless. Everything a business user could need is on board with the Treo Pro — including GPS, 2 megapixel camera (why not more), WiFi, 320×320 pixel touchscreen, HSDPA, Bluetooth, microSD memory slot, and much more. The official Treo Pro website has more information as well as some cool images of the device.

As for the availability, the Treo Pro will be available in September in Europe through Vodafone and O2, and in Australia through Telstra. In the United States, Palm’s latest smartphone will be available unlocked and unsubsidized for a suggested retail price of $549. No U.S. carrier partners were announced, yet.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    If this came with a Palm OS, I would be standing in line to get this, particularly since it comes unlocked. (I am with Suncom and unlocked GSM phones are the way to go there.) With the Windows OS, I will wait….and wait…..to replace my Treo 680 (which replaced my 650)….

    Love the Palm OS and the Palm Treo phones. Keep up the good work! (Just add the Palm OS, guys.)

    I agree, Palm OS FTW!

    I’ve seen a lot of people complain on forums that the screen size is too small.. WTF? I think this phone looks great and will do great.. Palm deserves a good comeback!

    There’s nothing wrong w/ a good comeback, but lets keep in mind that RIM is a Canadian company so in reality we all want Blackberries to out sell Palm’s :0)

    RIM (Research in Motion) sucks! Hurray to Palm treo pro
