Today I received a device that could really be a make-or-break product for a company that has been stagnate for quite some time. The Palm Treo Pro really needs to be successful for Palm, as their current line-up leaves a lot to be desired.

First off I’ll start with the packaging. Like the box the HTC Touch Diamond comes in, the Treo Pro packaging has a corner lopped off. Why? No idea. It is quite nicely presented though, with the device on display as soon as you take the top off.

Included in the sales package is the Treo Pro, a microUSB cable (seems to becoming popular), USB AC adaptor, stereo earphones (3.5mm, woohoo!) and a few manuals and guides. Like HTC, Palm has cheaped out by including a USB AC Adaptor that you plug the USB cable into. With a miniUSB cable that’s not so bad, they are everywhere and can extras can easily be purchased, but the microUSB isn’t overly common yet, so many buyers will find themselves swapping the cable between their computer and AC adaptor. If you find yourself needing an extra one, the microUSB cables that you get for the latest Nokia’s will do the trick.

Well folks, here we are in sunny Orlando, Florida. It’s the time of the year again for WES, otherwise known as the Wireless Enterprise Symposium. For those of you who don’t know what WES is, think of it as the biggest gathering of Blackberry Crack addicts from around the world; they all show up for this.

Just in case any of you were sleeping under a rock yesterday, the Blackberry 9000 series, aka the “Bold” was finally officially announced. What do you think, do we finally have an all in one Blackberry? Lets see:

624mhz processor
1gb of internal memory
HSDPA/EDGE with an EVDO sister right around the corner.
GPS
WiFi A,B,G

Man I hope so, but what will the battery life be like, only time will tell of course. What’s next, an all in one Palm Treo? We can only wish, right?

As a person who is constantly looking for the next best device for business use, it amazes me that no one came up with this design before HTC did. A quote straight from PhoneArena.Com says it all:  The HTC S710 is the most compact messaging phone with an auto-sliding QWERTY keyboard. It is the first smartphone powered by the new Windows Mobile 6 Standard platform. This new platform provides genuine mobile Office Outlook experience, greater control of Outlook Mobile Calendar, better Internet Explorer Mobile browsing experience and Windows Live. It also offers greater interoperability with Exchange Server 2007 providing you with improved e-mail management (such as Fetch Mail and Set Flags), Out-of-Office assistant, and HTML e-mail viewing capabilities.

And boy are they right, I picked this device up about a week ago and have been trying to use it religiously, but when you carry an average of 8 devices constantly it can be hard to do so sometimes.

In the pictures scattered through my quick review, I have it compared and sitting next to a Cingular 2125.
