My love affair with Palm devices started with beautiful SONY CLIE SJ-33 years back. Then since Treo 650 days to my dismay there had been less innovation and wow factor in the Palm front. I wondered for while whether to switch to MS Mobile and then all of a sudden iPhone wowed me to hold on to my choice at least 3G iPhone is available.
Since Treo 650 days Palm didn't change much so diddn't want ot go with Centro either. Mainly it dissapont my when I brough Treo 680 I immediately went back to treo 650 giving antenna less Treo 680 to my girl. With Centro it looked ok but features were same as Treo 680 so I didn't want to venture in. Now with the images lurking in the web I guess my next phone too will be a Palm Treo. I may have to wait and see whether there is a GSM Palm OS version of this beautiful new Treo come out from palm Inc.
The MS Mobile Treo 850 version specs are awesome, things that most Palm users were asking for. Check the list below. (Thanks to Treonauts Blog)
