Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Of course, as a WM device, it has all the usual organiser, email, web and other productivity features, while as a Telstra device, it has all of Telstra’s services, from an upcoming “Whereis Navigator” for GPS turn-by-turn mapping, through to Sensis search, those 33 Foxtel TV channels and more.
The “outright” price is AUD $929, and unlike the iPhone there is no sign of any (ahem) “additional unlock fee” needed to be paid to make this “outright” purchase a true “outright purchase”.
But if outright purchases (whatever definition applies) is not for you, then Telstra’s $80 business phone plan (over 24 months) comes to the rescue, giving you the phone at $0 upfront.
Available “exclusively” on Next G, it’s coming “mid September” from Telstra stores.
From my relatively brief exposure to the Palm Treo Pro thus far, it’s definitely a worthy successor to the older Palm Treo devices.
That said, it will be interesting to see how it competes against models from the HTC Touch series, the i-mate Ultimates and WM phones from Samsung and others, and how soon a Palm Treo Pro 2 comes to market with video calling and a higher-res screen, for those that might want those features from a future Palm Treo Pro model.
