Geo-Treo and the Three Phones
I entered the cabin and saw 3 phones on the table.
The first phone, called the Centro, was so small that I could barely type on it and the tiny screen hurt my eyes. The display looked familiar but old. Without wifi it took forever to download the TreoCentral page. I set it down.
The second phone, called the Pre (aka Rubenphone), was only a little larger but was mostly screen with a modern look. Sadly, few of my trusted programs were available and there was no way to load them from my microSD card. When I brought up TreoCentral in landscape mode and tried to type a comment, the slideout keyboard was sideways! And the logo on the front--no, not Sprint!! I set it down.
The third phone, called the Treo Pro, looked like an adult version of the Centro. It was sleek and well-proportioned. The keyboard was easy to use and there were so many Windows programs, including one that runs my older Palm programs, that I could do anything I wanted. Neither too large nor too small, neither too old nor too new--just right!
