Default After Curve gave iphone a good beat down, now the Treo 500v???

Please Login to Remove!

Palm has just announced the release for Treo 500v. It's a 3G phone but the touch screen feature is gone. Just by looking at the pictures I think the keys are more cramped than the Curve. (Makes me wonder how it is possible for anyone to type on these.)

I found this on the cnet asia site:

Ugly as sin... it's like Palm is trying to get worse and worse. Why would they do away with the touch screen, the only thing that attracted whoever is left carrying a Treo?

These days Palm seems to be giving themselves a regular beat-down. I think the Centro (Treo 500v) is going to flop. Badly.

I don't get it. Seems like they're systematically dropping everything that made them unique in the marketplace. They're essentially putting out a generic Windows Mobile device now, with questionable ergonomics. With this, they become one of many, and will have a very tough time defending market share.

looks like a knock off tmobile dash, palm seems to be barely clinging if this is the best they can come with.
