They are on top of each other, next to each other.

And from behind, they look almost like twins.

1500 mAh battery vs. 1150 mAh, 8x Digital Zoom on the camera vs. 2x, .53 in thick vs. .73. Plus the Pro has finally dropped the InfraRed port, which was included on the 800w introduced just 1-month prior.

And then there's the fact that the 800w is merely an update to the already-existing design, where the Pro is mostly a new design.

Oddly, the Pro has less user-available memory than the 800w: 100mb vs. 170mb.]]>Aug 21st 2008 9:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/Aug 20th 2008 4:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Would it have possibly been a better idea to use another Treo or conventional QWERTY smartphone? Yes. But is the iPhone comparison completely left-field? Certainly not.

Now last year when they used to do that....]]>Aug 20th 2008 4:56PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/
the Treo's direct competition is Blackberry. this phone is for business and to run business apps on it, it integrates with an Exchange Server like (or better than) a Blackberry or an iPhone but also runs a huge library of WinMo software. Palm OS barely does this anymore.

I've had a Treo 700w for years and run my business software on it in the field. while the 700w is gigantic and slow the Blackberry and iPhone can't do what it does for me. non-slider real QWERTY is a must, WinMo is a must for many corp users. this may be the only phone I would want to upgrade to (sadly, I may be stuck with 800w on Verizon instead). ]]>Aug 21st 2008 1:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/Aug 20th 2008 4:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/Aug 20th 2008 4:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/Aug 20th 2008 4:14PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/

i've got the palm treo 500v and i must say it's a solid little phone, (except for the slightly broken right menu button from when i dropped it)

i like the look of this one and although i've been looking to switch back to O2 and grab an iPhone if this came to vodafone uk i'd stay with them

(but only if it's out before my contract is up for renewal) lol

One gripe I still have with Palm is that these winmo devices keep having 1:1 aspect ratio screens???

As for positive comments, you'll never get a lot on here, people will usually comment when they only have something negative to say...]]>Aug 21st 2008 3:33AM
