I got the Palm Treo Pro last Thursday. I haven’t had any time to take photos or videos, but those will be available on Mobilitysite in the next couple days.

So far I am impressed. Windows 6.1 runs amazingly fast on the hardware, the form factor is Super Slim. Photos can’t do the phone any real justice. This thing is ultra thin compared to the AT&T Tilt or Treo 750.

What I miss so far is the Palm love that has become synomous with Treo Phones. The ease of one hand calling has been somewhat limited without their software key shortcuts on the today screen.

Another small, early complaint is the black glossy finish on the back. The Palm Treo Pro is a fingerprint magnet. That’s not my main concern though. I am more worried about the Treo Pro slipping out of my hand. It lacks the rubbery feel that the Treo 750 had.

Like I said, I will have photos and video up tonight or tommorow.  I did take a snapshot to test the camera. Read on to check out that photo.

I complain about the lack of “Palm Magic” added to the Treo Pro’s version of Windows Mobile, but when I sent this photo via email to this computer, I did notice a nifty change to the Default “My Text”.

The 2 MegaPixel camera takes some decent shots, but nothing to write home about…

Stay tuned for more about the Palm Treo Pro.
