Techtree News Staff, Oct 13, 2006 1259 hrs IST
Palm has made a couple of announcements at DigitalLife, a tradeshow held in New York City, first being, "Palm Treo 680 Smartphone."
Another important feature of Treo 680 is the "documents to go" that enables viewing, editing, and sharing of Microsoft Office documents in addition to viewing Adobe PDF files and Powerpoint presentations.
According to Ed Colligan, president and ceo, Palm, the new smartphone is expected to be available via carriers around the world by June 1, 2007 and will be priced in a range around $200 (Rs. 9200). However, further details related to the product and its exact pricing will be released by carriers in the coming weeks and months.
Palm's US retail and online stores will sell exclusively an unlocked GSM version of the new Palm Treo 680 smartphone in four new cool shades; red, orange, white, and silver.
In another announcement related to Treo 680, Palm has said that it expects to bring online 20 carriers for the new Treo 680 smartphone.
In addition to the announcements above, Palm has also announced that it will deliver the popular interactive mapping experience of Google Maps on Treo smartphones.
The Google Maps for mobile optimized for Palm OS based Treo smartphones is available on all four Treo smartphone platforms including Treo 600 smartphone, Treo 650 smartphone, Treo 700p smartphone, and the new New Treo 680 smartphone. It is available for free download as Palm OS application.

I get so tired of these nits who write tech news and don't know what they're talking about. My 650 already does 3-way calling, email and web, and text messaging. And since when is "adding new phone numbers to existing contact information" an innovative feature? That "feature" is as old as the address book program. Sheesh.

All is well ..but what will be the price for an unlocked GSM version of the Palm Treo 680
by sandeep boppana, hyderabad, on Oct 20, 2006 02:57 PM, Report abuse Reply
Finally a Treo without that bitching antenna. If the price is right, it will put all other smartphone manufacturers out of business. :).

Statement about 2GB card limit is not correct - thanks to FAT32 support Treo 680 does support SD cards 4GB and more.
