Palm Treo Pro indepth review

Hardware Reviews - By: pdaBlast! Staff - October 06, 2008


The Palm Treo Pro has been getting a lot of reviews lately. This time MobileTechReview has offered up their review of the latest Palm Treo device to hit the market. This is a very complete review of the Treo Pro pointing out its good features and bad. We think they took it a little easy on Palm for the lame keyboard on the Treo Pro. For us, the keyboard is a deal breaker.

"The keyboard isn't as ergonomic as prior Treo's since the "smile" curve is gone and the key rows run in a straight horizontal line. The keys are also small and more slippery than the Treo's. If you use and like the Centro keyboard, the Treo Pro keyboard should suit you, but if you've been using a Treo for years, you might not like the Pro's keyboard. The application buttons surrounding the d-pad are completely flat, which looks nice, but there's no tactile way to tell which button you're on. Palm has done away with the Windows Mobile soft keys since their functionality is always duplicated on-screen. But there's enough space above the application keys that some folks in our office kept pressing on the dead spot assuming they were unmarked softkeys.There's a layer of clear plastic over the display (and most of the front face) that seems durable though we're not sure if it would pick up scratches over time."
