Here we are, friends: the $549 WinMo smartphone from Palm. Initial opinions: it’s a nice size, very slim. Smaller than the Centro and the OS is fairly peppy. A dedicated WiFi button on the side makes picking up networks much easier and they’ve stripped out a lot of the MSN garbage from the WinMo start-up screen. We’ll be working with it over the next week and report back on Wednesday, presumably embargoed so Walt Mossberg can review it.
I can’t believe this device has any chance…Blackerry’s quality back-end server is the differnce. Palm needs their OWN server to stand any chance against Windows or Blackerry.
I was very interested in Centro, but discovered that the keys are to small for man-hands. Treo Pro is smaller? Are they selling it to babies?
Hey John,
Any idea which carrier will have this baby?
