Palm Treo Pro - Super Smartphone

A sleek design, smart shortcuts, and strong call quality make this premium unlocked smart phone worth owning. Palm has finally released a smart phone that isn"t bulky. In fact, the unlocked Palm Treo Pro looks downright elegant compared with previous Treos. And you get an integrated touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and GPS. The keyboard could be better, but with its reliable call quality and reasonably speedy 3G data, the Treo Pro is one of the top Windows Mobile smart phones on the market. Too bad it costs so much.

The 2.5-inch, 320 x 320-pixel touchscreen is flush with the front. But there is less real estate for the keyboard. The layout is wider than the Centro"s, but the keys have the same sticky, toy-like feel, and they"re still packed too closely together for rapid, error-free typing.
If the Treo Pro cost the same as competing devices from HTC, RIM, and Samsung, we would probably give it a stronger recommendation. But the audience for this unlocked $549 device is pretty much limited to executives who want to stand out in a crowd with a flashier design. The lacklustre keyboard notwithstanding, the Treo Pro is a very well-put-together smart phone, with only minimal Windows Mobile lag. We hope AT&T picks it up and sells it for a more reasonable price.
