The phone windows fonys are small and the sceeen is washed out in the daylight you can not see the screen hardly at all – good for indoors and a good optical – bi-focal glasses. Not worth the money at all go with the BB8830 or Storm or Bold.

I am still aflutter over Palm’s official unveiling of the Palm Treo Pro Wednesday. And why wouldn’t we be? The smartphone is looking pretty sharp, both inside and out.

It is really a great news and i guess this a dream phone which i have been waiting for !! i am a die hard palm fan and using palm PDA for last 10 years but off late failed to see any interesting models from them. i had bought palm 750 and later bought HTC TytnII but swiched back to Palm 750 simply because it is so easy to use…however it was so sluggish. Palm has really packed in lot of power and really made this new phone extremely attractive in terms of design, specs and features….i am just waiting for the launch in singapore….

It seems that the price is little bit on the higher side..is it better than BB Bold or not

Palm will need to reform their business practices before I buy another phone from them. On last Treo I bought, the keypad went bad while it was still under warranty. I called their support number and was told in no uncertain terms that the warranty did not cover “exterior damage” and since the keypad was on the exterior of the unit that they would not repair it.

I won’t make the mistake again of buying from this outfit!

“Palm has always bored me. Their clunky unfriendly UI’s confuse me. I need something fast, something simple.”

Palm has always been known for making simple and easy to use phones. The Pro has a Windows OS on it, not Palm OS.

As a gadget lover, and somewhat of a phone collector(constantly changing) I just don’t really get it. Palm has always bored me. Their clunky unfriendly UI’s confuse me. I need something fast, something simple. I dig the black, though. Otherwise, I’d just say ehh.

Nice phone, but I still I prefer the devices on the RIM side of the street… especially the Bold and Javelin !

Awesome John, thanks! Have you guys gotten a heads up about the HTC Diamond/HTC s750 ???

Bold, Ryan. I said if you wanted WinMo, this is the best I’ve seen in a while.

John,

I can’t believe you coped out on me like that! I have to know, if you had to pick 1 QWERTY phone, between the Bold and the Pro – which is it going to be? The bulk of your post sounded like, “Nice try, come again,” to the Palm people.

I need you to pick one please…lol

What about all those users that have been burned by Palm 3 or 4 times? My first Treo (600) was awesome but I eventually just couldn’t take the consistent lags, shutdowns, and crashes so it became more of a hate/hate relationship towards the end. I ended up sticking with Treo for the next 3 or so models and kept getting burned with the same lame OS. Once WinMO hit the Treo, I saw some light at the end of the tunnel but judging by how poorly specd those suckers were, I decided to just completely swear off Palm.

Is the Pro really a good enough reason for me to go back? I say “no”. There are much better phones out there (and soon coming), that jumping back over the fence is just not worth it – especially for $550. I’ve been burned way too many times and there are too many other cheaper and better fish in the barrel that I would be missing.
