Treo Pro is a nice phone, but the software could be better

Funny how quickly perceptions change. Rivals used to chase after Palm (PALM) and its Treo smartphones. Now it seems Palm is the one doing the chasing.
Consider the new $549 Treo Pro smartphone I've been testing. The business-focused device is Palm's latest attempt to lure customers wooed by Apple's iPhone, Research In Motion's BlackBerry and others.

There's no knocking the thin and attractive new Treo Pro hardware — it's the best-looking Treo to date. I can't say the same for Microsoft's cranky and not overly intuitive Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional software, which Palm tweaked with its own shortcuts.
