The Palm Treo Pro broke cover earlier today via a leak from secret presentation deep inside Palm. If you’re looking for the Treo Pro presentation, they’ve been taken down; but luckily, you can still see then over at SlashGear.
I still have doubts as to whether the Palm Treo Pro is good enough to win back the hearts of many users defected over to other manufactures such as HTC, Palm or LG. The new Palm Treo Pro does take on a newer, much more up to date design featuring a flushed 320×320 touchscreen display, sporting Windows Mobile 6.1 on 3G GSM network.
Other features and specs include WiFi, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroUSB connector, and MicroSD slot for memory expansion. Overall, the Palm Treo Pro is the sleekest of the Treo bunch, with the design of Centro and the recent Treo 800w. The Palm Treo Pro’s QWERTY keyboard takes on a familiar design as seen on the Centro rather than the bowed board of the 800w.
Make sure to check back for the latest buzz pertaining to the Treo Pro’s upcoming launch!
PHONE Magazine is showing off twenty live photos of the Treo Pro from Chinese forum Treo.net.cn, together with more details of specifications. There are also interesting comparison photos of the Treo Pro alongside a Palm Centro and a Treo 650, showing the difference in size and thickness.
The Treo Pro is now rumored to have a 400MHz processor - with performance described as “snappy” - 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM. The navigationally challenged will be pleased to hear that the Treo Pro will have integrated GPS, together with triband 3G and quadband GSM for worldwide use.
Best of all, given our criticism in the recent Treo 800w review, is the inclusion of a microUSB port for recharging and hooking up to a computer. It’s about time that Palm junked their proprietary connector. More details over at PHONE Magazine.
