As the Palm Pre is intended to replace not only Palm’s Treo smartphones but also their legacy PDA’s, I thought that a size comparison between a few of these “victims” might be interesting.

We scoured our archives, and are proud to present the gallery below. First of all, the Palm Treo 650. It is larger, but has a much better keyboard:

GSPDA”s infamous M70 is smaller, but boxier:

Don’t get us started on the PDQ. Technology has clearly come a long way:

  1. “our infamous yellow Tungsten E2″

    Why is it infamous? Because you sprayed it with paint yourself? That’s what the red buttons suggest…

  2. Hi Luc,
    it actually was sprayed by an Austrian spray house for an ad which never was photographed because the gal responsible for it gave up.

    LONG story.

  3. That Kyocera looks familiar….

  4. Hi,
    yep – it was donated by a reader!

    With best regards
