Business looks
The Treo Pro looks quite the same as the Centro, the smaller brother that is mainly produced for consumer use. The Treo Pro has been adjusted at some points. The Treo Pro has an One-touch WiFi button, to make it easy to set up a WiFi connection. Furthermore, the Treo Pro has a ringtone switch, that immediately turns off the ringtone to avoid for example embarrassing moments during meatings.
