Palm Treo 500v Review at Palm Infocenter

Palm Infocenter reviews the Palm Treo 500v and writes, “For a company that has built its business on making thoughtful, user-friendly devices, Palm has put surprisingly little effort into the Treo 500v. Aside from a fancy new Start menu, there’s been no attempt at all to make this device their own. With none of the usual Treo trademarks – like the touchscreen, threaded messaging or the ringer switch – you could be forgiven for thinking this was another company’s device. There’s a Palm logo on it, sure, but apart from the Treo name, what was their contribution here? The carousel was developed by Vodafone, the OS by Microsoft. The upgraded hardware specs are greatly appreciated, as is the significantly thinner chassis, but the fact is that they still don’t put Palm ahead of the pack – it just makes sure they’re keeping up with it. If they had given us built-in GPS, or heaven forbid wi-fi, that would have made them a front-runner amongst similarly priced QWERTY-phones like the Motorola Q. As it is, there’s no truly compelling reason to choose the 500v over its competitors – not unless you really wanted something called Treo.”
