Palm Treo Pro Specifications and Price. After released of the CDMA 800w, we expected Palm to get a GSM. And here we comes but not a new model likes Treo 850, The company decided to rename Treo Pro instead. Its handled is the first HSDPA to with Wi-Fi built in, finally the company leave out one or two key connectivity options from the new products. Its brings in the line same with Windows Mobile (WM) products out on the market just likes usual armed with complete features.
The Theo traditionalist had a mix from metal and matte plastic finish. Even though the last from Windows Mobile Treo 750not have external antenna, you could know tell its similar with older Treo 650, from the design language. If you are exciting, prepare Treo Pro looks like The Company’s Centro device. The Treo Pro has glossy plastic materials and rounded edge not a angular theme. In the fact, its come from Black only(for now), its gives a professional look. Actually, we must say Old Treo design is more “businessy”. The other side the size and weight at 133g and 114 x 60 x 13,5mm, its significant more heavy and thinner than Treo before.
In front face of Treo Pro is very clearly. Flush screen with the bezel same look likes HTC Touch PDA-phone series. Its probably to discard with physical softkeys, although we are not sure its better. One of lucky to use Treo is User Interface (UI) designed and then you not touch the phone. Another said, we don’t have softkey for Treo Pro, we must touch side down bottom, that’s way to open display and brings you up most of the menus in Windows Mobile. Likes screen, the shortcut keys around the directional pad flush. There are include a Start key, OK shortcut and two other access like Calendar and Messaging applications. They inside of Call and Hang-up keys for basic black, round buttons with green and red edge, respectively the only one signs of color theme black and white of the Treo Pro. We had Palm Logo displayed for directional pad, it is raised silver ring which can be depressed from four way with a large select button.
Likes another Treos before, the Pro will be switch off by press the hang-up key. Its also automatically activated keyguard feature and the device doesn’t turn on accidentally and make calls random for a while, with Treo Pro, Palm added power button in the top edge and put it in the line handled Windows Mobile that’s dedicated power buttons. We also can found switch to silent mode, mainstay of Treo handhelds.
The screen fro Treo Pro is 2,5-inch and 320 x 320 pixel display. This screen resolution is similar fro, Palm OS Treos like the 680 but uncommon for Windows Mobile devices. Another Windows Mobile products use this screen is Samsung SGH-i780. We found sharp thing though colors appeared a little washed out when viewing a photo and video. Most important of its, this keypad its closer from centro than treos.
