Exterior
Palm devices are usually advanced soap-holders, at least regarding their design. It’s a fact that these handsets are not famous for straight lines, but this is what makes them really unique, which is attractive for many users. As a matter of fact I also like these pleasant-looking machines, so I’ve found Treo Pro a good-looking one as well, since the new phone perfectly fits in the usual design: square-shaped display, QWERTY keyboard with round keys, arced surfaces, shiny materials. Size didn’t change much either, the 113 x 60 x 14 mm large device weighs 133 grams. Assembly quality is near perfect and the quality of the materials used is the usual “Palm-quality”, which means medium-quality, shiny plastics. The colors aren’t really vivid, as Treo Pro is completely black.
On the top of the front we can see the small speaker with the 2.5” transflective TFT display (having a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels) below, which can display only 65,536 colors, but it’s very high-quality and is easy to read in sunlight as well. In the center there is a Treo label and a logo on the center of the five-way d-pad. The very easy to use circle has three buttons on all sides, on the left there is the dial-, the Windows- and the calendar-key, while on the right we find the end call, the OK and the Outlook (messaging) hotkey. On the bottom there is the QWERTY keyboard made up of only 35 keys. It’s rather small, but after a short time we should be able to use it easily and fast.
The back is rather plain, on top there is a small hole for the 2 megapixel fix focus camera, on its left there is the handsfree speaker. At about the middle there is a silver Palm logo, while in the bottom left corner we can find the mid-sized, non-telescopic stylus.
On the top we can see the power button and the inevitable mute slider, which is still a brilliant thing, although it’s no new feature since iPhone. On the right there is the WiFi button and the – brace yourselves – IrDA port; on the bottom there is the standard microUSB connector, the 3.5 mm jack and the microphone, while on the left there is the camera’s hotkey and the volume control keys.
