Upcoming Palm Treo Pro gets official - for real




Palm today officially announced its latest smartphone, the Treo Pro. Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the Palm Treo Pro is extremely well connected, with quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and tri-band UMTS (850/1900/2100MHz) support as well as WiFi for super-fast data transfers. The built-in GPS receiver will offer support for location based services and navigation, and Bluetooth 2.0 allows quick close-range file transfers and wireless headsets.

The Treo Pro also has a few multimedia tricks up its sleeve, including a 2 megapixel camera and an accompanying microSD memory card slot, for plenty of storage. The standard 3.5mm audio port makes it easy to enjoy your favorite tunes, as well.

The Palm Treo Pro is clad in an obsidian color scheme, and is set to be available unlocked this fall. This cell phone will also be available in September in Europe through Vodafone and O2, and in Australia through Telstra. Unlocked pricing is set to be US$549, before taxes and subsidies.
