Treo Pro where are you??

**mrsocks** · 01-13-2009, 10:54 PM

So where is the treo pro???

Waiting patiently but need some info to hold me over.
Is it really still on schedule for the 25th of Jan or something?

PLEASE SOON!!!

sorry...
I just have been looking forward to this.

**fakeguy** · 01-13-2009, 11:00 PM

I was looking forward to it too until I saw what might be on the way later on...

**TheJuanJuice** · 01-14-2009, 04:25 AM

I also was looking forward to the Treo Pro, until i saw the new Palm Pre coming to sprint in just a few months, now i cant decide....lol, yeah its that good!!!!

**mrsocks** · 01-14-2009, 07:53 AM

you know both you wh0r3s will buy both

I want the pro until i find out that the pre can sync with thunderbird.
then i will probably want that.

just cant wait to get something new at this point.

**TheJuanJuice** · 01-14-2009, 11:15 AM

LOL, you got me :-) ....yeah, I might still get the Treo Pro to hold me over. till the Pre comes out!!!

**Hamfighter** · 01-14-2009, 04:25 PM

I'm still contemplating the Ap-PRO-PRE-ate phone. Sure it's a typo, but close.
I was all Pro until the Pre rolled out. Suuuuuuure do love big screens though.
Nice to have two great options!

The demo phones for the Sprint stores should have all arrived by now.

My thoughts on it so far:

Cons - the phone has frozen up a few times for about 3-4 seconds while playing Bejeweled 2 and having Activesync running in the background. That's not a good sign even though it's supposed to have more RAM on the damn thing compared to the 800wx. Not much of an improvement over 800wx performance wise.

Pros - The device is much sexier and sleeker looking than anything Sprint has at the moment IMO. The phone doesn't feel cheap like the 800wx, which I thought was just the 700wx slapped on with some blue housing sans antanae. The touch screen itself is much nicer and is more responsive, but because the phone feels so different than what we've seen/felt, it feels odd when you are touching the screen with your thumbs. The keypad is a huge improvement over the 800wx. you can actually type on the thing without having your hand/thumbs feel like they were going to cramp.

One really cool thing is the ability to go to some websites and the phone would actually play embedded videos that the touch pro/diamond and other windows phones didn't.

otherwise with the 20 or so minutes i've played with it there's nothing that really would make me purchase this phone, and especially not at the price tag (549.99/249.99 i believe is what it's listed as).

the box is different. and i do mean different. instead of the standard yellow box that most sprint phones come packaged in with a lot of wasted space, the thing is half the size and oddly shaped. i guess palm/sprint is trying to cut down on waste/material?

Ive got SERO and honestly, I love this phone, any word on whether it is going to be available at Best Buy?

darkdan · 01-19-2009, 09:49 AM

I just got my 800w on Friday, now the real question, do I bother exchanging it or just remain happy with what I have. Because I ordered this phone the 14th, so I should have plenty of time for the 30-day exchange policy as long as the Pro isn't back-ordered immediately upon release.

I guess I should have googled a little more before I purchased the 800w to see if the Pro was coming to sprint. I decided I've needed a new phone for a while and didn't want to wait for the Pre. I made that mistake of waiting for the Touch Pro and every time I go to get it the thing is back-ordered. So I gave up and went with the 800w.

Definatelly exchange it.

**TheJuanJuice** · 01-19-2009, 11:52 AM

Yes bestbuy will have it.

**PokerFace23** · 01-19-2009, 12:21 PM

yes exchange it to the pro. you paid too much for the 800wx. if youre going to pay that much, may as well grab the pro. the 800 is just a pos and the pro looks nice and slick

darkdan · 01-19-2009, 12:50 PM

I'm sure I will, but I bought it online and I'm not sure if our local Sprint store is a corporate store or not.

And with my luck it will be back-ordered and not available to me before the 30 days is up.

I just got a BB Curve and I also wish I could hold out for a Pre. But I might switch to a Pro if it makes it in time for my 30 days. I am just not sure if a BB or WinMo phone is best for me. Research continues ....

sshorkey · 01-19-2009, 10:47 PM

I was totally waiting for the Pro.. now I don't know. Maybe I will look at the Pre.

My 700wx was falling apart but I just got a refurb w/o resetting my device replacement clock so I'm good to go till I decide to make the move.

I will wait and see how the reviews are on the Pro.. then if they don't live up to my expectations I will go Pre.. It's just a waiting game now.
