Earlier rumours turned out to be right. Bell Mobility announced today that it has begun to offer the Palm Treo Pro.
Treo Pro offers Bell Mobility clients simplicity and productivity – including email, Wi-Fi, GPS, web and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A network capabilities – to meet the needs of businesses and end users alike. Treo Pro’s thin design blends a flush, high-resolution colour touch screen, one-touch buttons and a full QWERTY keyboard. The removable battery packs up to four hours of talk time and enough strength for the business user’s needs, offering a powerful yet effortless mobile experience.
The CDMA version of the Palm Treo Pro is powered by a 528MHz Qualcomm MSM7501A processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. It comes with dual-band EvDO Rev. A connectivity, a 320×320 touchscreen display, 128MB RAM and 512MB ROM (300MB user available), a QWERTY thumb keyboard, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi with one-touch Wi-Fi button, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, built-in GPS, a 2.0MP camera, a microSDHC card slot, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, and a 1500mAh battery. It is available in Obsidian black.
Bell is offering the Palm Treo Pro for CA$199.95 with a three-year service plan (higher than rumours had suggested). The price will jump to CA$449.95 with a two-year plan, CA$549.95 with a one-year plan, and CA$599.95 with no contract. All service plans require a minimum voice and data plan of CA$45 per month. The Palm Canada site shows 3-year pricing starting at CA$99.95 during a promotion that runs until March 31st.
