Palm plus Windows and Vodafone want to make Blackberry jam

The release by Palm of the Treo 750v 3G smartphone, running an enhanced version of Windows 5.0 and to be marketed in Europe by Vodafone, signals an attempt by a pretty powerful combination to eat away the dominance of Research in Motion's Blackberry on the Continent. Register now to win a Canon EOS 500D Compared to the Blackberry, the Treo has never been considered the device of choice for business people on the go, especially in Europe. However, the new Treo 750v is jam-packed with features that are designed to make life easy for business road warriors. Plus, with the marketing might of Vodafone selling the product in Europe behind it, the scales might just begin to tip in Palm's favour across the Atlantic. Aside from consumer features, such as Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for music and video, Bluetooth; a mini-SD expansion slot; and a 1.3 megapixel still and video camera, the Treo 750v is a business traveller's dream. Features such as dial by name, web searches, one-touch dialing, easy call and voicemail management from the screen, easy composition of text messages and emails add up to Palm throwing out a serious challenge to RIM's stranglehold in Europe. {moscomment} Please enable JavaScript in your browser to post your comment!
