Welcome back to the Smartphone Round Robin! Rene Ritchie, from our sister site The iPhone Blog, has had to neglect his iPhone 3G, and has been using the Treo Pro this past week. Rene has used Palm smartphones in the past, but he feels that the Treo Pro is probably his hardest device to review in the Round Robin:
That, year after year after year, Palm still hasn't been able to ship a successor to Palm OS Garnet is inconceivable to me to the degree that what I'm now holding in my hand, gorgeous and powerful though it may be isn't a Palm, isn't a Treo. Not really. I was funny about that in my video. I'm actually more than a little sad about it real life.
The Treo 800 series should really be running Palm OS 2.0 "Nova". Since it's not, however, I'm reviewing an HTC handset running Windows Mobile 6.1 something I'll be doing almost immediately again with the HTC FUZE/PRO.
Having said that, Rene feels that the new design of the Treo Pro looks fresh and modern. He also says that "It moves Treo physically at least into the next generation."
