Palm Treo Pro

Palm Treo Pro

America is in state of shock for once. Something unexpected has happened. What was thought to be only rumor now has come alive. Palm sells its new qwerty cell phone unlocked, that is free from any network provider, free from contracts and bounds. It is a completely normal situation for Europe and Australia, where you can just dash into a shop and buy an unlocked cell phone. It is different for USA. Although Palm is not the first manufacturer to offer such phones, it is still very untypical and hence causes a lot of turmoil.

Some experts think that this step shows only that Palm is facing problems and the truth may be that all network providers have turned down the overpriced Palm Treo Pro. Others are concerned about how Palm is intended to market and sell the product. Hey, look around: Youtube and other social networks are full of genuine and fake Treo Pro qwerty cell phone reviews. We are all creating the buzz - that’s how they’re going to sell the phone.

The sanest way to buy the new cell phone is to visit Palm official website. It is available in obsidian finish for $549.00. That’s an expensive phone. And there is another new method of selling more phones with less effort - Palm offers a discounted bulk option for business owners, i.e. those who buy phones for their employees. A very good idea to be wide open - bet they’re generating a great amount of business while you’re reading this.

For those Europeans not too keen on shopping online, the new qwerty cell phone will be sold (not attached to any network, though) via Vodafone high-street shops in the UK and Telsta in Australia.

So, what can we say about the phone? Well, it looks almost like a grown-up Palm Centro. It is quite a nice phone. The biggest flaw I can notice right now is the position of the digital camera - right in the middle of the back. Can you imagine how finger-printed it will be after a couple of days. Hey, Palm, why don’t you learn from HTC? A camera should be placed in the far left corner!

When it comes to specs, I should say, Palm Treo Pro qwerty cell phone really delivers. It has the pleasant Windows Mobile 6.1. OS installed that provides an easy platform for both business and entertainment. Just like BlackBerry, the new Palm is marketed like a business phone. However, you don’t need to be a broker in order to enjoy a full qwerty keyboard.
