I think it's the same type of keyboard as the Centro but the 850 is a wider device so the keys should be bigger.

And are we loosing screen acreage here or what? I'd rather scroll less personally.

Screen resolution is Palm's standard 320 x 320, higher than the 240 x 240 used on the 700w/wx/750. Not sure of the physical size of the screen, probably slightly smaller than the 750's.

BRAVO, for TAZ!!!

320 x320 with wm great idea although an even larger screen in the same dimensions of the unit would be even better foir those of us with older eyes.

On a larger screen, I'd expect a higer res.

It still better than 240 x 240

Thats for sure.

My observation here is that the Treo screens are getting smaller size-wise. For example, the 270 was larger than 600/650, 650 > 680, just a bit. Yeah the resolution got better to the 320x320, but the point is that Palm's diminishing the visual display, which IMO is a major selling point, where Apple and HTC have often larger screens for enhanced web browsing, video etc.. Granted both of those products lack keyboards or have other limitations, but in looking at my 270 [sans flip cover, long gone], next to my 680, I can't help but wish for a Treo that thin with as much or more screen area at 320 x 320, without compromising the keyboard of course.

The problem then becomes keeping the device thin, with a physical keyboard that doesn't slide(since that generally adds significant thickness), and not making the device as wide as some Black Berries.

A larger screen will also use more power so would require a bigger battery and again make the device bigger
