Palm has announced the Treo 750v Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition, which according to the company, is its first smart phone to take advantage of Vodafone's 3G/UMTS network.

Apparently, this is the first time that Europe will get to experience Palm on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 platform.

According to Palm, the Treo 750v is a multi-featured phone with email, messaging, Web browsing, and organization software in a new compact design. It comes with Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) for Windows Mobile 5.0, which includes Direct Push Technology and enhanced security features for free. The new Treo is fully compatible with Vodafone Business Email, and addresses the need for a robust push-email solution that can be deployed easily by consumers and small businesses.

The Windows Mobile 5.0 platform is a suite of software enhancements, including screen enhancements such as dial by name, direct Web search from the Today screen, etc; ability to manage calls directly from the Today screen, and to stay on top of voicemail with the help of on-screen icons; ability to ignore calls and compose text messages; and messaging applications for SMS/MMS organized in a chat thread for future reference.

Commenting on the new smart phone, Oliver Mauss, global director - business marketing, Vodafone, said, "The new Treo 750v smart phone, when combined with our high-speed 3G/UMTS network and push email, makes an invaluable tool for our business customers. Our commitment to help customers increase their productivity, and make the most of their business and personal time will be further enhanced by the addition of this new innovative device to our range of business solutions."

Adding to it, Nick Barley, business and marketing officer, Microsoft UK, said, "We are seeing significant adoption of mobile applications among business users in the region, and the Treo is an attractive proposition for organizations considering mobile deployments. The Treo 750v builds on the power and flexibility of Windows Mobile, Palm's unique design and user experience, and service through one of the world's leading mobile operators to deliver a winning solution that connects professionals to their critical information while on-the-go."

The Treo 750v features a 1.3-megapixel camera with 2x digital zoom and video capturing, Windows Media Player 10 Mobile, Built-in Bluetooth with enhanced support for Bluetooth-enabled stereo headsets, Mini-SD expansion slot, and 240x240 transflective (TFT) touch screen.

The Treo 750v will first be available to Vodafone customers in countries including Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, amongst others by the end of this year. However, the company has not as yet disclosed pricing for the device.
