It's arrived...

http://euro.palm.com/uk/en/products/...ones/treo500v/

and it has a mini USB connector!

Some quick facts and figures according to my calcs:

Compared to the 750v it is:

20% smaller by cubic capacity
22% lighter
21% thinner
2% shorter
4% wider

As it is running windows mobile 6 standard I assume it means no touchscreen?

Will I change my 750 for it? Maybe when the unlocked version is available. Having a 3G phone in the UK on the Vodafone network is just too expensive. (No more than £1 per day they cry - so you mean £31/30/28 per month then? ) At least with T-Mobile you get an unlimited data plan for £7.50 per month.

No touchscreen, but the mini-USB is a bit of a shocker. Depending on the price (and Voda's data) this could be ok for Palm. Doubt that it will be a huge seller. It should have come with 1GB internally at this price point, that would have made for some clear differentiation (even at the expense of cannabalizing the 750v).

Its funny, when you look at the comparison page, apparently even Palm does not know what processor it uses, and equally funny they are not sure the Treo 680 runs on an Intel processor

Mini-USB, 2MP camera, BT 2.0 + EDR, 256MB, nice!

However.. it's still kinda thick which would be forgivable if they were packing great battery life for something like WiFi.. but Wifi's missing and the 1200mah battery isn't very impressive.

Antoine of MMM

Will be less than the 750v if my guess is right. Nevertheless, it needs something more than a low price as a differentrator (though with a low price and a nice swing of marketing to enterprise types, it could be a solid, but not overwhelming, seller).

Hey, this doesn't appear to have a ringer switch! There's only an On/Off button on top. I sincerely hope they have one, or that at least they're not planning on removing this from future Treos (800w plz)

Edit: seems pretty clear there's no switch. argh that's so wrong

Unfortunately still using the annoying 2.5mm jack. At least A2DP is there so you can avoid the jack altogether.

The On/Off button is usually the red phone button so the switch at the top should be the ringer On/Off switch.

g-funkster

Nah, look, it has the standard power icon:

Read tc's preview. No ringer switch. Touch screen is why I stay with Treo. If future treo's eliminate this, the new five way button seems cramped. I'd rather go with a new Q and deal with its share of problems. At least it has great BT support.

Not according to Palm's detailed specs.

Exactly what I said in the other 500 thread. Substantial battery life would compensate for depth. IMHO, it looks thin enough for me...I like it. If you go to the work menu on the site you see the guy in the suit holding it up to his ear and you can see how thinner it looks in his hands using him as scale.
