 LO MAXIMO!!!! November 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Hola a todos mis amigos del mundo.
Desde hace unos 5 anos he sido un fanatico de Palm y de su segmento smartphones TREO, y definitivamente este modelo Treo Pro ha sido la mejor invencion de esta marca. por mucho le lleva por delante al famoso "iPhone" y tambien a los "super ejecutivos" BlackBerry, que para cualqueir ade estos dos casos necesitas tener o una mano mas o dos dedos extras en cada mano.
Definitivamente ha sido Treo Pro, mucho mas de lo que esperabamos ls fanaticos de su marca. Solo estamos esperando que el software en espanol salga ya al mundo y seguro mejorara en algo el manejo, aunque no es necesario por ahora.
Hasta la proxima amigos.
A step forward in elegance and power for Windows Mobile phones November 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've been a Windows Mobile phone user for years now. Before buying this phone, I tried a Nokia E71 and then an HP Ipaq 910. Both phones were not bad, but still lacking in many areas and just not worth their price tag. This Treo Pro is worth every dime.
Pros:
- Very slim and light form factor. I said "wow" the minute I opened the box.
- Windows Mobile runs lots and lots of software. Syncing with Windows PCs or Exchange servers is a breeze.
- 320x320 display is bright and crisp.
- Palm has added so many extras to the base Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, it's hard to list them all. There is a nice screen saver when the phone is off, showing you the time and if you have any messages or missed calls. Even though the backlight is off, the screen is still quite easy to read for this basic info. Also, if you push the red "End" button from the home screen, the phone locks the keys and goes to sleep. Why is this not a standard WM feature? I can't tell you how many times I wish there was a simple keylock feature. Turn the phone back on, and you have to hit the middle button in the 5-way pad to unlock the keys.
- The buttons around the edge of the phone are perfect. There's a power button, simple slider control for vibrate mode, a wi-fi button which flips on the wi-fi (holding it in lets you see available networks), volume control, and one more customizable button. I sort of wish there were a wheel or scroller thingy that lets you zip up and down screens with a lot of text, but oh well. There's also a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. On the down side, the USB connector for syncing and charging seems to be a proprietary Palm connector. I can't seem to find a generic USB cable to match it.
- The built-in GPS works great with Google maps. Sometimes it will pick up a GPS signal in seconds (holding the phone parallel to the ground seems to help). The built-in GPS in the HP Ipaq 910, by contrast, often took several minutes to lock onto a signal.
- The keyboard is small but quite usable after a while.
- The Treo is like lightening compared to other Windows Mobile devices I have had. Previously, I had a Cingular 8525 which had a 400mhz processor. That device was often sluggish when turning on or moving between applications. This Treo is also listed as having a 400mhz processor, but somehow it feels twice as fast as the 8525. It performs like Windows Mobile *should* perform.
- The battery life is amazing for a Windows Mobile phone. I accidentally left my charger at work on Friday, but managed to make it all through 'til Monday with a few phone calls, using the GPS a bit, plus some internet access. On my previous Cingular 8525, the battery would have been dead at the end of one day of that much use.
Cons:
- Yeah, the keyboard is small.
- Built-in camera could have a higher resolution. However, it is better than other 2mp digital camera phones I have used. Also, no flash - not that those little LED flashes really do much anyways. Indoor pics are pretty weak in medium lighting.
- The built-in Windows Media player doesn't have an equalizer or any type of tweaker. It's the 21st century for heaven's sake. This is not really Palm's fault since it's a Microsoft program, but until there is a killer media player for Windows Mobile, it will not be a true competitor of iPhone.
- The display is locked into sort of a "large fonts" mode which will stretch some older Windows Mobile applications all out of whack. This also effectively does not utilize the beautiful screen to its maximum. However, you can use smaller fonts in IE and that makes web pages look good.
- The battery cover is a little tricky to remove. Once you've done it a few times, you get the hang of it. Unfortunately, the micro SD slot is under there.
Summary:
If you like Windows Mobile, this is truly fantastic device. I just hope it's not too late for Palm. If you're on the fence about moving to Windows Mobile from something other than an iPhone, you'll probably like this device a lot. If you have an iPhone, keep it, there's no reasoning with you anyway. ;)
My Palm Pro.. November 8, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
after several weeks of researching, comparing, & then waiting for its release, i was very pleased to purchase the Palm Treo Pro. this was my first smartphone & i wanted something that fit well in my hand & also had a lot of practical features. i think that i got both in the Palm Treo Pro.
design: it's design is very (dare i say it) fashion forward. unlike previous Treo's, its got a much slimmer profile & fits very well in either a pants or shirt pocket. i like the qwerty keyboard & the directional "palm" key works really well for moving from one field to another. i also really like that i can use the keyboard, the stylus, or even my fingertips to use the different programs & features of the device.
setup: the setup process was actually not bad at all. once i inserted my SIM card, the phone recognized the settings of my current service provider & integrated all of the network settings seamlessly w/o any issues. it comes with a decent amount of memory on the phone when you purchase it & can be upgraded to as much as 32GB of memory using micro SD.
i have found only one issue thus far. after using the device for around 3 wks i'v already broken a stylus. the styli are mostly metal with a plastic head & tip. the connection between the plastic head & metal stylus is the only thing i would suggest Palm redesigns. otherwise, i LOVE the device..
great phone..... October 28, 2008

Great Treo - continuation of excellence October 23, 2008
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I love my new Treo Pro. I have been using it for about 2 weeks and already plan to hold on to it for the long haul. Little, history, I have had the Origional Treo, 200, 600, and 650. This is the best of them all. I swtiched two windows mobile 2 years ago because... well the PALM OS is dead in my book. That aside, I really missed the treo. I think palm gets how to build a nice device.
Keyboard: Works great. I find for a thumb keyboard and now with some experience I can fly with it. Personally, I love the thumb keyboard. Perfect for one handed operation with little compromise.
Thin: This thing fits very nicely into the pocket and the screen guard is excellent. I dont even know I have it with me and I never accidently Dial anyone. It fits in the hand wonderfully.
Buttons.. Some devices are going away from having so many buttons. However I like the ability to launch frequent programs. The Pro is great at letting you customize. (You have many hardware buttons and some of them can also be configured to have an Option + Hardware button application bound to them)
Also, you have hardware button access to volume control and wifi.
GPS: Works great. I installed and worked right away.
Power: this device is not a power pig. With normal use I get a good run off it. Mind you, I use applications on it all day along and SMS extensively.
Camera: I havent used it. Frankly, it doesnt matter how many mega pixels any phone has, it still just a phone camera. Quality is never that good. But it is good enough for those fun quick shots.
Dislikes: well, the screen is a standard windows mobile device screen. I was hoping for a new device, especially manufactured by HTC it would have a bit more kick to it. However, its very functional and does what I want. One thing I love is how they built into the keyboard access to the brightness control. This is something all devices should have. Its really hard to increase the brightness if you can read the screen. No problem with the treo.
The ALT key on the keyboard allows you to access characters not on the keyboard, including accented letters for various languages. What I dont like is that its a little window that shows up with about 8 characters show and you scroll to see more. Well there are a lot of characters, it would be better if they just filled the screen so you can quickly find the special character you want.
Windows Mobile Phone Dialer stinks! This is true in my opinion for any windows mobile device. Its a phone, but you have to navigate often 2 to 3 screens deep just to get a phone number. For example, you start typing someones name and the dialer appears. It instantly starts searching for a name. Great! When you select a name by pressing enter, it pulls up their contact screen. (HUH???) yes, you now get to see more info about them. I just want to DIAL the phone number. Long story short, for simple dialing its more complicated than it needs to be. Second, the Windows Mobile phone dialer always seems unresponsive and slow. Its a phone... but the phone is slow. it makes no sense. This is not a critisim against the treo, but if this your first Windows Mobile device you will be a bit disappointed with this.
My Final gripe is that it uses the Micro USB Cable. I dont know why. All I can say is that about 90% of my small electronic gizmos use Mini usb and now I have a new cable standard to deal with. I am sure there is some value to it, but I dont see it. Yes, the connector is smaller, but the cable is still just as thick and just as long. So why I need a thinner (by maybe a few hair widths) I dont know.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Click Buy Great device.
