Palm's Treo 850 is really the Treo Pro?

by Paul Miller posted Aug 14th 2008 at 9:26PM

Would you look at this. A very official looking page -- at a Palm.com domain, no less -- has unveiled the previously rumored Treo 850 as the Treo Pro. We're still digging the new look, though the keyboard does look suspiciously small in these shots. At a cursory glance we've got WiFi, a camera and a 3.5mm stereo jack. A couple more pics after the break.

Well, with the little H by the data arrows, this appears to be a GSM device. Maybe both. Who knows.

Decent move for Palm after the Success they've had with the Centro.

indeed, Palm is starting to slowly try and save it's hide in the smartphone race. now if thy can put something new on it that isn't WinMo on it....c'mon Palm, you pretty much defined the smartphone.

but a few things to add to put it over the top

-VGA screen (would be nice)
-High Speed data (HSDPA or EV-DO)
-GPS or A-GPS(nice option)

I liked my old Treo which now sits on the bathroom vanity for the occasional gameplay in place of the traditional reading material. These days, however, I need more than a 2 megapexel camera to get me interested. My Nokia has a five witha xenon flash and Garmin GPS. Anything less would be a step backwards. The Treo form factor could easily accomodate more. I could never explain why it had to be so big and do so little. Not including 3G, well there's no excuse for that.
