Palm Treo 500v smartphone

(23/11/07)
Summary: D'you know the most interesting thing about Palm's Treo 500v? It's a Windows Mobile smartphone without a stylus. For years, we've been noting PDA and, later, smartphone makers' attempts to overcome the Microsoft OS inability to work one-handed, but until now no one's quite succeeded. Read the full review
Verdict: Palm's Windows Mobile Treo line goes consumer friendly and becomes the firm's best phone yet. PDA users will be less impressed...

Palm Treo 500v review


Summary: : Palm has improved the menu interface but the keypad is too squashed... Read the full review
Verdict: We like the fact the the 500v is smaller than previous Treos, the proprietary menu interface and how easy it is to setup of email accounts, such as Gmail or Yahoo. We can't help feeling the 500v lacks a wow-factor in its design -- particularly the cramped keypad
Pros: ; 3G; easy email setup
Cons: ; Cramped keypad; lacklustre design
