I want the chio Treo Pro!

Firstly, the look explains why.

Tried it out at Funan today. Compared to my TyTN, it's broader, but slimmer. The 2 plus points are that the QWERTY keyboard is onboard (i.e. I need not slide the keyboard out like on the TyTN), and it has threaded SMS function, like on the Palm-based Treos! Kinda missed the convenience of that function, since I tend to forget what I'm replying to... :( (too used to MSN, perhaps...?)

And, it also has infra-red, which is surprising for a new phone. Which brings good news... note to self that I can't dispose of my UWK just yet..

The QWERTY keyboard takes a bit of getting used to. Not as tactile as the Treo 650, but is more responsive than the TyTN. Connecting to Wifi was a breeze, as it detected the Wireless@SG network very quickly.

The downside is there are no hard keys for the two "buttons" at the bottom of a WM screen, so gotta use fingertip to touch those "buttons". Fingerprint magnet!!! And it doesn't come with the GPS software installed, which means I will have to buy my own GPS software... :(

Retail price is at $880, not mentioning at which shop. Seems almost tempting to just get the phone straightaway... But let's see what SingTel has to offer with contract...

Time to save money... again....
