Palm treo 850 owners manual

This is great news. It looks sleek and modern and has great specs. What else do you want from it? Its going to tie me over til nova is out as I was thinking of trying that new blackberry bold that's on its way out. That is, essentially no resource other than bucks is expended on them and, one would hopefully assume, they get those bucks back with interest. Frankly, I would suspect the "w" was an HTC job Not that I beg to differ I don't but certain, ahem, possibly-in-the-know-direct-from-Palm sources beg to differ on your theory about ALL of Palm's WinMob efforts being outsourced.

Now, my other pet theory is that IF Nova does ship in 1st half '09, we will see it debuting on what is essentially "n" or "n" hardware or perhaps as the first of the x series. So if Palm is going to get that kind of mileage out of this hardware than it IS entirely probably that Palm might have made a special case and done this pair in-house.

The w looks like an old-school Palm regime product, which is entirely unsurprising given how long it's been in the works. The does look like the first device which might have a smidgen of Rubinstein design influence, however. WM will therefore be Plam's de facto smartphone OS going forward. An unpleasant theory, yes, but one worth mentioning nonetheless. Looks cheap! It looks cheap but I can't complain. I have the p for christ sake! RE: Looks cheap! But it is thin Pat Horne RE: Looks cheap!

It does look like the same old thing. Try something new!!! I am liking the look and specs of the , assuming they are true. I have a Palm TX, and I want to jump into the smartphone world. I really think Palm needs to push themselves to stay relevant. There is so much buzz about new iPhones and Blackberries, that they are going to get left in the dust if they wait until next year or the end of '08 for something truely new.

How about a Centro if you want to get into smartphones? The current Treos are too bulky for me, and seem to still have issues with having lots of hard re-sets.

I thought about a Centro, and I'm not sure it has enough power for me. My advice? Cost is a big factor for me, the upfront phone cost and the monthly data plan. I must be really gettin' old because the last thing I would want to do is surf the web on a Centro. I'm never that far from a Wifi spot or a computer to access email that I would even consider paying for a data plan.

Now if my employer wanted to pay for it, that's a different story. You must also not really use your device for anything more then games because you'd better carry a magnifying glass with you if you want to do any serious "PDA" type work on it. Maybe your one of the kids that text message but for us "older" people who have grown accustom to a stylus over the years that little keyboard would drive me insane.

I still think you Palmit are a Palm employee. I mainly use my TX at home and its great for quickly going on web and checking emails, etc For a second I thought it would of been cool using my TX, but its so out of date I would of felt funny using it especially at a hi-tech place If I get the Centro I'll use it for some business checking emails and for personal use.

You make it sound like the Centro is basically a toy or for young people only. I'm going to check it out with my thin fingers and still good eyes! Treo Specs The Treo pictured in this set of spy shots seems to match up with some of the features listed in the leaked slide which detailed the Palm Drucker earlier this year.

However, why another Windows device? Anyway, I hope the w looks as sharp as this one when it actually comes out. I'm rooting for you Palm. This could be one of several reasons: 1. Palm feels only US market is familiar enough with the Treo to merit keeping the smile shape 2. Palm's European design studio feels that a straight keyboard has more of a global appeal 4. The post was in response to hkklife's which touched on the lack of curve of the keyboard. Other then the rounded edges, doesn't it pretty much look like every other WM Smartphone?

SV, I've used a Palm device since the original Pilot in No, just the ones with "thumb accessible" curved keyboards That's impossibly vague! I tend to favor part of theory "2," the straight keyboard makes it easier to create a more compact device. I don't know what unique feature of Rim's keyboard patents was the one or ones in dispute and for which Handspring got a license from Rim at some cost per unit, I'd bet.

That doesn't leave a whole lot left, huh? Looks better that those W pics from last week. The chunky, rather unstylish CDMA w, as soon earlier 2. The devices will "carry" Palm only if they sell; given their appearance and feature set whatever that is! Waiting with bated breath These specifications, if correct, will put the Palm Treo near the top end of what is available for Windows Mobile devices, and definitely near the top of what is offered by U. It is not known when the Treo will be released.

Palm traditionally releases devices in the late Spring and late Fall, so it could be that these images and specifications are coming as a result of some final carrier testing that is taking place. The Treo is probably going to replace the Treo which has been on the market for nearly two years.
