$399 Unlocked Palm Treo Pro
Amazon.com Offers $150 Instant Rebate On Unlocked GSM Palm Treo Pro
If for one reason or another you’re not particularly looking forward to the forthcoming launch of the Palm Pre but still want to get your hands on a high-end smartphone then perhaps Amazon’s current Palm Treo Pro offer will be just right for you.
Amazon.com is currently offering the Unlocked GSM Treo Pro for only $399 – a full $150 below Palm’s MSRP of $549 and the best deal ever on this terrific smartphone (read my review to see why it’s been my personal choice for over six months now).
Among others, the benefit of this Unlocked model is that it allows you to travel across the world with the convenience and freedom to be able to use a SIM card from any one of hundreds of carriers worldwide and therefore greatly save on voice and data roaming charges while abroad.
As you can see on the chart here on the right, in the United States the Unlocked GSM Treo Pro can be used with AT&T as well as T-Mobile (but not with Sprint or Verizon as they use a CDMA network).
The Treo Pro is currently the bestselling unlocked Windows Mobile smartphone on Amazon but other choices include the Nokia E71 ($332), BlackBerry Curve 8900 Javelin ($499), Nokia N95 ($399).

Editor’s Choice Accessories for Treo Pro
Treo Pro Cases (above from left to right)
- Incipio ORION Sleeve Case
My very top choice. High quality leather that fits like a glove, looks great and protects my Treo Pro from scratches. - Body Glove Side Case
One of the most popular current cases and my top choice to keep your smartphone by your side. - Incipio Bond Street Leather Case
An ultraslim and ultraslick high quality soft leather side case which is absolutely ideal to complement your Treo Pro smartphone.
- Motorola MicroUSB High Performance Car Charger
A beautifully designed, simple car charger that has proven to be one of the most popular accessories for both the Treo Pro and Treo 800w. - SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Card with MicroReader
I personally currently use two of these 8GB cards to carry all of my music and personal files while one the go. - SPE Micro USB Sync & Charge Cable
Probably the very best value and most convenient accessory for your Treo Pro that allows you to both sync and charge from your PC or a USB wall charger wherever you go.
- Jabra BT530
A new headset that I have been extremely impressed by and that I currently use on a daily basis. Superb noise cancellation, a dedicated On/Off switch and a microUSB charging connector combine to make this my preferred choice for the Treo Pro. - New Jawbone
Without a doubt the best-in-class noise cancellation headset available on the market today and the #1 bestselling BT headset for the Treo Pro. - Jabra BT3030 Stereo Bluetooth
Given that the Treo Pro now offers a 3.5mm stereo headset I have found this Stereo Bluetooth Headset to be by far the most convenient choice for the Treo Pro and it also happens to offer excellent value.
- Clear Armor Body & Screen Protector
Without a doubt the very best, clearest and strongest body and screen protector available for your smartphone. - 3M Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
Thanks to this cleaning cloth that I always keep in my pocket I can quickly wipe fingerprints, dirt and oils to keep my Treo Pro shiny at all times. - Redfly Mobile Companion (On Sale – Only $229!)
Thanks to the recent massive price drop of the Redfly Mobile Companion (read my review) from $399 to only $229 this unique device has quite literally been flying off the shelves but is due to be back in stock in the next couple of days.
Additionally, please note that Seidio has just released a very powerful Treo Pro Extended Battery rated at 3500mAh which provides 130% more power than the standard battery (albeit requires a larger included battery cover which increases the overall thickness of your device).

Whether WinMob 6.1 belongs in the top 10 reasons list is likely to be debated... having seriously considered a Pro when it first came out (and opting now for a Pre instead), I have to say WinMob was the main thing holding me back from getting it.
Totally Agree! the single reason i would not buy the Treo Pro is because its Windows Mobile. It if was PalmOS i would have already got it by now.
No, $399 is not the lowest offered by Amazon...it was once on a Gold Box deal for $349 limit 2....
Hmmm, suddenly both Bell Canada (#1 cell provider in Canada) and Telus Mobility (#3) are offering the Treo Pro - and hyping it like it's the very latest thing - as if it hasn't been available to them since last September, when neither of them would touch it.
Interestingly, Rogers (#2 provider) hasn't picked it up. Also interestingly, both Bell and Telus are CDMA providers, and Rogers is GSM.
And most interestingly of all, both Bell and Telus have signed on to get the Pre (Telus apparently some time after Bell, who will be Palm's Canadian launch partner), but Rogers, who have the exclusive Canadian rights to the iPhone, are officially pretending the Pre doesn't exist (at least, when I call and ask, they all feign ignorance).
It would seem that one of Palm's conditions for getting the Pre is to help them clear out all those Treo Pros.
Amazon's current price is 405.98
Also, walmart has it for $418.97
