Palm Treo PRO for Sprint (AKA Treo 850) is Here!

Maureen

Palm's latest offering, the Treo PRO (sometimes referred to as the Treo 850), has launched!

The PRO is Rev-A and tether-capable and has both a touch screen and a full QWERTY keypad. As for OS, forget the old Palm troubles - this sucker's got Windows Mobile 6.1!

We should be receiving ours for testing this week and we will see if it is compatible with 3G routers and if it has the elusive antenna port - cross your fingers...

Palm PRO First Impressions

The short version: This is a great phone for tethering (despite the lack of antenna port and router support) and I love the sleekness and size of it. The screen is a bit small for video and the keyboard might be too small for our large-thumbed compatriots, but anyone in the market for a smartphone should give it a look!

Plus, it's only $149.99 after rebate (w/ 2-yr contract) through 3Gstore -- not bad at all for a Sprint Rev-A model!
