New Treo "coming soon" on Vodafone

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 20th 2006 at 1:33PM

Vodafone UK's gone live with a site promising a WM5-based Treo "coming soon" -- we know very little here, but let's put the pieces of the puzzle together. First, we know that Palm's done with the 650 in Europe. Second, we know that it won't be a CDMA 700w, it'll have to be GSM. Third, they're saying the device will be "using Vodafone's high-speed network." We'll let you draw your own conclusions, but we're thinking antenna-free UMTS version of the 700w.

well, as usual, the us misses out on all that treo goodness while the europeans get a try at it.
cingular needs to get a clue and catch up.

Just jumped onto the eu palm site and found a reference to the voda campaign, it specifically says it will work on Voda's 3G/UMTS network, and deliver push email, etc. Looking good!

"Vodafone"s business customers expect us to help them increase productivity and make the most of their business and personal time," said Nick Jeffery, global director of Business Marketing, Vodafone. "The new Treo smartphone will be a market-leading device, which combined with our high-speed 3G/UMTS network and real-time push email, will make this an invaluable business tool."
