Heeeeyyyy, remember those sexy pictures we saw of a rumored Palm Treo 850 a while back? Well, it looks like they're resurfacing again, but this time in an internal Palm presentation that, oopsies, briefly appeared on the company's Web site. The slides have since been taken down but they were up long enough for SlashGear to get some screen shots.

If this presentation is legit, it appears the smartphone will actually be called the Palm Treo Pro and will run Windows Mobile 6.1. The sleek-looking device (I'm really digging the design) will also reportedly have 3G support, Wi-Fi, a 320x320 pixel resolution touch screen, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Not a ton more info there, but I don't know, I'm pretty excited. What do you think?

Generally promising, needs more screen so more can be done to shrink the op keys sitting above qwerty. Having recently happily moved from 650 to centro, i am satisfied with the sharper bright screen and hope for more and flush, not recessed, screen.

hmm so this is the palm treo 800w but for the GSM version. I bet everything is going to be the same except for the color, and we look back in history usually the gsm version is not better than cdma.
What about the samsung i900 for sprint? red black very sexy.

I switched over to Palm Centro when it came up during last Christmas. I've been loving it since. The new Palm Treo Pro looks really nice. I'm a sucker with phones that look nice.

Looks good. Now, if they can manage to produce a device that doesn't self-destruct five minutes after the warranty expires...

I may be the only person the the world to say this but I really hate the Windows operating system on mobile devices. Of the 6 people in my office who have mobile devices with Windows not a single one of them has anything good to say about it. Whereas I motor along with my old Treo 650 running Palm OS with nary a care (not a perfect device to be sure, but until something better comes along... and yes - I synch wirelessly with my work email and browse the web, etc). Personally I don't think much of this design - I prefer the slightly curved keyboard on my 650, although the black is cool.
