While it might look familiar to fans of the Palm Centro, the newest Palm handset to hit O2′s UK network isn’t your fluffy, consumer-oriented device. The Palm Treo 500 goes back to Palm’s roots in enterprise devices and brings Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard along to hammer home its business prowess.
Vodafone previously had an exclusive on this particular handset as the Palm Treo 500v, but the exclusivity period has come and gone, allowing for O2 to welcome the device into their stable of smartphones. The Palm Treo 500 offers a tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio, single-band (2100Mhz) UMTS, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and a microSD card slot.
It’s not the highest end of the smartphone spectrum, and as such, the Palm Treo 500 is being offered for free with qualifying wireless plans. Head on over to O2′s website for more details.
