Palm Treo Pro Arrives on the Vodafone New Zealand Network

Palm (NSDQ: PALM) has announced that the Treo Pro will be available on the Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) New Zealand network. The Treo Pro is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, and has key built-in features such as WiFi, GPS and more.

The device is one of the nicest and thinnest Treo’s I’ve seen to-date, no doubt Palm has and is doing everything they can to push more devices these days. The Treo Pro is a valiant effort. The high-res screen is quite nice, and a full QWERTY keyboard helps you punch out those quick business messages. One of the things I appreciate quite a bit about the device is the removable battery that offers up to five hours of talk time per charge. Seeing as I’m currently using the iPhone 3G, my kingdom for a removable battery knows no end.

More key features of the Palm Treo Pro:

• One-touch WiFi button
• Today screen enhancements
• New voicemail indicator (the center button flashes)
• Ringer switch silences the device immediately
• Screen saver lets users know at a glance without turning on the device, the time, if they’ve missed any calls or messages
• Email and calendar buttons
• Integrated GPS
• World phone with high-speed UMTS/HSDPA network capabilities

Congrats to New Zealand’s mobile crowd, as they now have another device to spend their hard-earned money on. Lets hope the reception and sales of the device are better than the usual lack-lustre performances Palm has been having for the past few years.
