Treo Pro - a major disappointment

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful
Really disappointed with this - find it extremely SLOW - used a Blackberry 8703e and a Treo 680 and both far exceeded this unit in actually pleasure of use. Did I mention the menus are slow. THe 680 keyboard is far easier to use - far less mistyped keys as well as the stylus coming out of the bottom blows.

On a positive note - this phone has by far the best camera in a phone of anything I've seen, owned or used.

I've just ordered a new Blackberry and will be giving this one away to my daughter (if she wants it - she uses a Treo 600).

Battery life on the other hand is surprisingly good compared to my wifes I-phone, but in all fairness to the I-phone it absolutely blows this phone away with regards to Internet capabilities.

I honestly figured the Treo Pro was a step up from the Treo 680 but I can't help but feel I blew a wad of cash - what a waste. Should have stuck with the Treo 680. In fairness to the hardware - I believe the issue lies with the OS and not the Hardware. Windows Mobile 6.1 is terrible - maybe that's slanting my opinion of the hardware but it is what your are buying.

Best yet

I use a phone for business first, pleasure second. This is the best WM phone I have used and I go through a phone about once a year. My last was a HTC TyTn II (AT&T Tilt) and it pales in comparison to the Pro for what I need. For example, the TyTn would not automatically download email when the screen was off. It would also frequently dial numbers on its own because the screen was not easy to turn off and had no safety system for making sure you wanted the screen not to be activated. While good in rural areas the Pro is better. The Pro's gps use less power and is faster to acquire a fix. While I had concerns about the keyboard it has proved more adequate for my needs and storage with a microSD card is great.

I will always want something better, faster and cheaper but I commend Palm for having the guts to put this in the market when its obvious no carrier would pick it up. Sometimes you just have to pay to get something good.

Palm OS is still the best

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I guess you could call me a Treo junkie. I have purchased all of them and the only device which still works and is still USER FRIENDLY is the Treo Centron with the Palm OS. Every Windows version was slow. Why can't Trep just make a Version with wifi? It is to hard? This is a great smartphone. Everytime a friend tries to go to a different smartphone for the fancy wireless, they get fustrated. I give them my extra, of course all junkies have an extra, and let them try it. They change and buy a TREO. So Can someone tell the upper management to just make the Treo OS better, more memory, wireless, stuff like that.

Treo Pro was REALLY Slow. Sold it n e-bay with in a week.

Pros:
Great design. Sleek. Attractive. Smoother functionality than the 750 which I previously owned.

Cons:
Overpriced
I'd recommend waiting until a carrier picks it up.
