Palm Europe launches the Treo 500v

Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2007 by MegaZone

So the wait is over and the mystery is solved – well, OK, there were so many leaks we really knew what was coming. But Palm made it official today. The Treo 500v smartphone launched on the Vodafone network throughout EMEA territories. It is available in white and ‘charcoal grey’ – I think the latter is much better looking. Here’s all the product info, but these are the basic specs:

· Windows Mobile® 6 Standard software
· Full qwerty keyboard
· 3G/UMTS network
· Automatic delivery of Hotmail/MSN, Yahoo!, and Gmail, email as it arrives
· Microsoft® Direct Push technology for delivery of Outlook® email
· Access to Google Maps and eBay
· Vodafone live! for news, sports, and entertainment on the go
· Windows Media® Player Mobile for music and videos
· 2.0 megapixel camera captures video too
· 150MB of memory, expandable with microSD expansion card
