  Treo Pro surprisingly impressive, 2008-12-30
I bought this treo after my phone and PDA died almost simultaneously. I had avoided a treo mainly due to the smaller screen compared to my Palm Tungsten but needed a device with a keyboard and wasn't interested in RIM products.
I initially bought an iPhone but gave it to my wife due to 1. Poor phone functionality 2. Crippled sms (message forwarding, MMS, file attachment; Apple?) , crippled Bluetooth and lack of a hard keyboard.
I was initially wary of buying a windows mobile device due to prior poor experience with pocket pc software. I have been presently surprised by this device.

1. Speed-very fast overall, the only slowdowns I experience is with notes for some reason. I've accumulated 100's of them over the yrs but this is no excuse as my 7 yr old palm could speed through them

2. Call quality is crystal clear much better than the iPhone's in my area.

3. Bluetooth-this phone is compatible with Audi's car kit and the voice quality is stellar. Palm's site states it does not download contacts to the car but it did download some of them in my case. All the BT protocols of a 21st century device are supported unlike the iPhone's 20th century implementation.

4. "Proper" GPs-not that iphone wannabe gps. Quick signal locks and 1 month free trial of TeleNav turn-by-turn is nice. I've heard TomTom's software works pretty well with this device.

5.Battery life is so so, with email downloading in the background it will last about 2 business days. With a lot of websurfing it will barely last the day. I would say it's better than the iphone, not by much though.

6. Touchscreen-finger friendly, I only use my stylus to write ink notes or use Epocrates.
WM 6.1 although it looks ugly compared to the iPhone OS, is a true multitasking OS, actually feels like a portable computer. I can wait for a satellite lock loading, go to another program and return back to the GPS as it finishes.

7. Form factor- love the size, overall dimensions are nice and its quite thin, great job on the design. Keyboard key material is fine for me a Treo newbie.
Overall this phone is a keeper, the combination of hard keyboard and touchscreen is great, while the addition of some apps (SPB, skyfire, kinomaplay to name a few) make it a truly superb device.

  Poor Battery Power Retention, 2008-12-29
The promoted performance of this 'phone has been prejudiced by what is evidently a defective battery with which it was supplied. It requires recharging every two to three hours each day with the minimal amount of phone usage only.
I have avoided downloads of internet, music, photos etc. to prevent the need for more frequent recharges. The instrument holds an unusually high tempreture at all times. I wonder if a replacement battery will solve the problem and reduce the heat factor.

Needless to say, I'm most disappointed with the purchase. What can you do to remedy the situation?
Sincerely,

  not ready for prime time, 2008-12-27
I have been using this phone now for quite awhile. To say it's not a capable phone, much less a PDA, camera or anything else would be an understatement. I don't know how much the other reviewers are getting paid to shill for Palm, but nobody can pay me enough to whitewash how profoundly horrible this phone is. It's severely underpowered and does not adequately perform. If you use a hands free headset (which is very important because this phone puts out more RF radiation than almost every other phone on the market and if there is any evidence cell phones cause tumors, it will be this line), it still doesn't work half the time. I have used at least five versions of the Palm series of phones, mainly because I have a need to use certain Palm-based applications, otherwise I would not subject myself to this form of punishment.

I cannot tell you how many times I've had my home phone forwarded to my cell and heard the tell-tale ring of my home phone indicating a call was to be forwarded to my cell, only to never have it ring. This phone's reception, it's functionality, it's performance and everything is substandard. Just say no.

  bad hardware, 2008-12-12
windows mobile is exelent but the palm get freeze every two hours if you talk you can not type notes becouse the phone get freeze It should have a better procesor and more ram memory better buy os operating system palm hardware is not ready for windows mobile

  The best Treo (to the date), 2008-12-08
Great phone this is an upgrade from my previous Treo 650. The screen is incredible it features a 320-by-320-pixel screen, larger battery, and thinner overall profile. The keys of the QWERTY keyboard keep the same arrangement of the Centro line has, but there is more spacing between the keys which prevent a miss typing. The back of the device is almost as attractive as the front in its own unique way. The centered camera lens and a large silver Palm logo are the only standouts on the otherwise smooth and shinny backside.
Pros:
WM6: Love it if you are a power business user sync with exchange and office apps, Excel, Powerpoint, outlook and word are installed.
3G: depends on the carrier to get advantage of this.
GPS: Google maps installed free of uses but requires Internet connection. Telenav is great, only 30 days trial.
MicroSDHC: Support Up to 32GB!!!
Wifi: Great reception
Design: Sleek
Speed: normally WM6 devices tends to lag, but the Treo Pro is really fast compare to HTC with WM6 installed

Cons:
Battery Life: could be better
Battery Cover: removing the covver is a pain.
Screen Size: c'mon palm get rid of that tiny square screen
Memory: only 256MB (100MB user and 128MB RAM program memory)

This is an all around great device I already brought two mine and another one for my brother in law after playing a while with the device he felt in love with it. With FM receiver and more installed storage memory could be the king of the hill.
