Palm Treo 500v smartphone

The New Palm Treo 500v is the first smartphone without a stylus and appears to overcome the Microsoft OS inability to work one handed.

Being lighter and shorter this smartphone is easier to carry around but does not bode well for travelers as with 3G limited to 2100MHz frequency, travelers may struggle in obtaining fast data. In addition, being a tri –band GSM / GPRS device it can be used in most countries but not all.

Although it is a 3G device it lacks Wi-Fi and HSDPA support, which means that even though it has Bluetooth 2.0 with enhanced data Rate connectivity, as a wireless modem it is unable to deliver true broadband speeds to your laptop. The battery life is as expected on a 3G phone.

For images the 500v only has a two-mega pixel camera that struggles in darker places and is also without a video call camera.

In short this device is a step in the right direction but not a device recommended for Windows Mobile super users.
