Yeah, today’s the big launch for the 3G iPhone locally, but let’s veer away from all the Apple festivities for a moment and look at what Palm has in store for use.
The Palm Treo Pro is the latest smartphone from Palm; and just by looking at it, one can see that the Treo is back with a vengeance. It sports a new plush look and is now thinner, and smaller than its predecessor without cutting back on functionality. It’s got 3.5G connectivity, a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, a touch screen display, GPS, a very reliable 1500 mAh battery, and runs on Windows Mobile 6.1.
Gizmodo is lucky enough to get one for a hands-on review and according to them; it is definitely a step up from its ancestors. They keypad is similar to the Centro, but a bit bigger. The display is bright and crisp, while 3G internet and call quality is superb. Best of all, Palm has decided to offer this baby minus a carrier (read: unlocked) unlike the iPhone.
Availability and price, unfortunately, isn’t available yet; but we are certainly keeping our eyes peeled on this one.

I look again and again in irregular time intervals here by and read the interesting and always well written contributions. Gladly I would like to leave here once a greeting from Thuringia in Germany!
Would appreciate a cross comparo between and among the Palm Treo Pro, Blackberry Bold, Apple IPhone 3G, and Nokia E71. Thanks and more power!

We'll see what we can do with your request.
plus other windows mobile smartphone like the samsung i780 or the like..heard many good reviews on it(i780) and would like to see which one would do better..
Please give us an idea how much this unit will cost in Philippine pesos and the estimated arrival date, will it be before the year ends?
I felt so excited with this unit, Palm treo Pro ,why wait for so long... bring it on!
Hey guys, try this link, http://blog.treonauts.com/2008/10/treo-pro-now-av.html?utm_source=tnemail
According to Palm website, price of Treo Pro is P31,090.
Yes, it's beautiful outside and maybe inside (if we speak of hardware), but not really because it is based on Windows.
I cannot understand why Palm, the most successful mobile OS and the most documented firmware will use Windows Mobile Platform - the most vulnerable OS I've ever used. Talking about viruses, malwares, spywares and worms is enough for me to shun away from this smartphone.
I have this phone and was purchased in the US and I was only here for a vacation and the problem I forgot my charger, can anyone tell me where to buy the Palm Treo Pro Charger? Please.
Thanks
thanks for useful information!

Yes the compact little Palm is a great addition to the Palm range. The only problem I have with the phone is the small size of the keypad. Huskies for Sale
