MY overall rating of the phone is a 4  out of 5 stars.

Pros:

• Large touch screen
• touch flow UI
• Windows mobile 6
• Great Battery Life
• Verizon Service
• Accelerometer
• Built in Games
• 3.2mp camera
• Sleek Design

Cons:

• No Qwerty keyboard
• No port for headphones while charging have to use extension.
• Freezes at time

After taking this phone out the box i was very impressed. Windows mobile 6 looked very sexy with the touch flow 3d interface. In the programs menu, It comes packed with alot of programs like  Office Mobile,Adobe reader LE, YouTube App, Internet Explorer(2ND web browser, This phone ships with opera as the default web browser).

Typing a long text message with this phone can get very annoying to me. With the built in hand recognition tool in the message software  makes it sorta fun.  I guess i would have to say this isn’t the phone for a business man who sends lots of emails a day.

The 3.0  megapixel camera also impressed me. I love the panorama mode where you can take  3 photos and make them in to one landscape photo.

Listening to music and charging this phone can be a difficulty  this phone only  has 1 port. This is the charger/headphone. There is an adaptor that come with it, but why carry around a bulky adapter.

The Battery life , In three words “is KICK ASS” i left this phone on for about 2 weeks not doing anything(no programs or anything)  and just as im typing this review I’m getting a low battery notice.

So Overall I rate this a  4/5 … This Phone is avaliable now through Verizon!

To start out The Gadget 411′s first review we will like to give a big thanks to Palm and A & R Edelman and our contacts Justine and Rosie Pulido, for providing the Treo pro.

The Treo pro is a smartphone by Palm Inc; with windows mobile 6 with wifi  and GPS capabilities. The Excellent qwerty keypad and  shortcut buttons make navigation on the Treo great! On the top of the phone it has a handy “silencer”  which switches all phone noises to vibrations.

The Home screen getting the what info you need. At the top of the screen is a start botton then all the connections you are connected to. Also, on the home screen is unread text messages,upcoming appointments,and an revonlutionary Google search Yes! right on the homescreen.

After reviewing some of the applications, There all great!  TeleNav is a GPS navigation app where you can call in and tell where your trying to go and it automatically syncs the information to your phone and give you the turn by turn directions.The Internet on the phone is great, webpages adopt well .Included on the  phone as well was mobile office witch was great for viewing your documents on the go.

Last but not least is playing videos. I visited Youtube on the phone and watch some videos and no problems with that.

My overall review of the Phone is an 9.5 out of 10 .

-.5 for the keyboard being a little to small.

Update :

The Call quality is great.

The reception is good on At&t, but the phone comes GSM unlocked.

Battery life, forgot to mention this one. The battery said 10 percent remaining for 2 days , and internet was running in the background.  So , Take it for your self about the battery life.
