Product Description

A great choice for business road warriors who want to stay on top of both their professional and personal lives, the Palm Treo Pro features a new, streamlined design and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. Packed with a wide range of connectivity options, you'll be able to access email and documents via tri-mode 3G reception and Wi-Fi as well as navigate to new destinations with the built-in GPS mapping. And with the power of the updated Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, you'll stay easily connected to your business and personal data on the go with support for a wide variety of email accounts as well as the ability to edit Microsoft Office documents.

The streamlined Palm Treo Pro runs the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system and includes integrated Wi-Fi and GPS.

Like its predecessors in the Treo line, the Treo Pro sports a brightly colorful touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard. It's also loaded with 100 MB of user accessible memory, MicroSD memory expansion (supporting MicroSDHC media up to 32 GB), a 2-megapixel camera with video capture, Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets and stereo music streaming, digital audio and video player, and up to 5 hours of talk time.

This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It also offers tri-band 3G connectivity (850/1900/2100 MHz), which makes it compatible with UMTS/HSDPA 3G networks in both the United States and in international territories. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone comes with a one-year warranty from a third party provider.

Phone Features
The Treo Pro smartphone, based on the popular Windows Mobile platform, offers a number of enhancements to help you optimize your cellular and organizational life. The screen saver lets you know at a glance what time it is and whethere you have any new SMS/MMS messages, the center button flashes when you receive a new voicemail, and you can perform web searches directly from the Today screen (which collects your appointments and tasks for the day). In addition to dedicated email and calendar buttons, the large color touchscreen (320 x 320 pixels, 65K colors) gives you one more way to access the applications you use most--just tap the screen to navigate without scrolling through menus.

Enjoy your favorite tunes and videos on the go, and store them on optional MicroSD memory cards.

With the integrated GPS receiver, you can search for the nearest coffee or copy shop and get turn-by-turn directions displayed on the screen (additional charges may be applicable). With the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g with WPA, WPA2, and 801.1x authentication), you can seamlessly connect to your company's wireless network as well as access the Internet and download important documents at Wi-Fi hotspots during your travels. The instant-on Wi-Fi button lets you join a local Wi-Fi network, whether you're in a hotel lobby or an airport, a conference room or a cafe.

Carry your calendar, contacts, tasks and notes, so you're prepared and organized wherever you go. You can sync with Outlook, accept meeting invites, look up people in your company's directory, or set an Out of Office email reply when you're away from your computer. Stay on top of your latest Outlook email on your touchscreen thanks to Microsoft Direct Push Technology. You can also access your Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo! mail accounts and view graphics and links in HTML email.

This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, audio/video remote control, and printing. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

With Windows Mobile 6.1, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite.
