Design and Display
The Treo 500v's design is functional yet modest, aiming to balance usability with a compact form factor. With dimensions of 110 x 61.5 x 16.5 mm and a weight of 120 grams, the phone has a distinctly pocketable size for a device of its era. The keyboard is a key feature, offering a full QWERTY layout, which is beneficial for email and text messaging. Its display measures 2.4 inches diagonally, showcasing a TFT screen capable of displaying 65,000 colors at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Though not particularly vibrant by modern standards, the display was adequate for basic tasks, such as browsing and reading emails.
