In the saner markets in Europe and Asia it might still do well if they price them competitively. Because there, you can actually get the phone subsidy in the form of cashbacks or discounts on your monthly bills if you don't opt for the "free" phone.

If this device is targeted towards corporate customers then the target market doesn't care about financing (many CFOs would probably prefer unlocked devices to get a better enterprise contract negotiation position towards ATT and TMobile).]]>Aug 20th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/

Why is Palm selling out to Microsoft? Rather than improving PalmOS and continuing to feature it on the Treo, the Treos are becoming like any other lame, slow, crashy as hell Windows smartphone.

BRING BACK PALMOS DAMNIT! I don't want to run Windows on my phone!

To me it looks like a nicely formed smartphone packed with necessary features for the business folk. And with Windows Mobile on it one can count on it likely having the best compatibility with their business's email, Sun Java and/or apache server as well being able to easily get developers to create apps that fit other needs. I'm sorry if many businesses don't crave anything diverse and exciting.]]>Aug 20th 2008 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/

WinMo does not suck when you need to get some stuff done and not just flip through pics and videos. How long can you sit there and just do that?]]>Aug 20th 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/
But it still has a square screen which could have been different if they figured out a better design that included no over-sized middle section and needless dead space above and below the screen.

I mean the keyboard is small... why are the 4 middle buttons gigantic?]]>Aug 20th 2008 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/20080820824/palm-treo-pro-available-in-september-for-399.html]]>Aug 20th 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/20080820824/palm-treo-pro-available-in-september-for-399.html]]>Aug 20th 2008 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/Aug 20th 2008 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/Aug 20th 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/

3) In your article you can see at times the battery is run down, is this version more energy efficient, or does it still feel like a hot bar of soap in your hand like the 700wx does?
4) GPS built in?
5) Programs close when you exit? Or like the 700wx they stay open until the OS is brought to it's knees?
6) Any chance that Verizon will adopt?
7) Pricing is appears to be purposly left out'a the article/vid, so what's da price?
8) Is it, "I have allot of emails in my inbox?" or "I have allot of email in my inbox?" I'd always thought that plural of email was email, but I suppose that computer phone and email techs know best...]]>Aug 20th 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/2) RTFA
