Now that the
Treo Pro's been uncovered, the sleek black handset just can't stay
out of the spotlight -- it's popped up today in several more high-res shots, a quick hands-on video, and even what looks like official press photography. Specs are still up in the air -- we're hearing there's a 400MHz processor and 128MB of RAM behind that 320 x 320 screen and original Xbox-looking exterior, but we won't know for sure until this thing gets official, which we're guessing will happen within the week. Video after the break.

I hope the rumored order for 5 million Palm devices isnt for this thing - it will bury Palm if it is.

I wondered that too.

Wow that looks terrific. Its a bit thicker than I thought it would be but its beautiful.
I wish the specs were more solid, I'm finding differing reports. My only gripe is the seemingly recessed screen, this may make it hard to tap the corners. I wonder what the battery life is like? The Weight?
None the less, welcome to 2008 Palm.

treo screens have always been like that and i've never had a problem with them

The screen is not recessed it just looks that way. Click the link to the photos and you will see. Looks good.

I hope this comes out in Canada, this looks like a really good phone. I know the old treo just came out last month here :(

The screen isn't recessed, its a flush touch screen from what I've seen on reports.

This looks like it's going to be a great device. With the new 7201A chipset driving the 320x320 display and Palm's WM tweaks, this should have great performance. For the first time, I'm tempted to buy a Palm WM device. And yeah, it probably helps that HTC is making this.

HTC isn't making this. It's Compal. Pay attention, McFly.

Wow! I am in!
Question, though. Is that the ring tone I hear or does that music just automatically play whenever you are using the phone?

Does anyone know when/if the Treo 800w is coming to Verizon?
Sean @ Aug 19th 2008 2:59PM
What does this have to do with the Treo Pro?
Dan @ Aug 19th 2008 7:00PM
Everyone keeps begging for a flush screen and this is what you get. In all those pictures the screen is scratched to hell!
Berkeley911 @ Aug 19th 2008 8:30PM
Does that look like a proprietary connector (and not mini USB) to anyone else? It would be just like them to screw that up.
kookoobirdz @ Aug 20th 2008 10:06AM
I think they ought to use models with really big hands so the devices look smaller.
Gil B @ Aug 21st 2008 9:28AM
Comparing to other WinMo devices - Palm devices have great performance and good stability.
Not the fanciest but alway practical - just like I love it!

@ Julio: Since when did Compal license the HTC Comm Manager? I would suggest you do more research yourself before correcting someone else who was right the first time, as the Treo Pro is essentially the GSM Touch Pro in a different bodyshell without TouchFLO 3D.
