München, 12. September 2006 - Palm (Nasdaq: PALM) kündigt heute das Palm Treo 750v an - das erste Treo Smartphone, das von den Vorteilen des UMTS-Netzes von Vodafone profitiert. Das Treo 750v bietet erstmals in Europa die Palm 'Experience' auf Basis des Microsoft Betriebssystems Windows Mobile 5.0. Das neue Treo 750v wird zuerst, spätestens Anfang Oktober, in den Vodafone Shops exklusiv für Kunden von Vodafone in Deutschland verfügbar sein. Neben Deutschland wird das Treo 750v Smartphone in Frankreich, Großbritannien, Irland, Italien, den Niederlanden, Österreich, der Schweiz und Spanien erhältlich sein.

Das ist gut für Palm. Endlich wird ein Treo von einem großen Carrier vertrieben. Schlecht für Palm-Freunde: Windows Mobile macht wieder mal das Rennen.

Keine Antenne => kein echtes Treo.
Kein Palm OS => kein funtionierendes Treo.

Meine persönliche Meinung: I will NEVER buy this shit!

viel schlimmer: Windows Mobile -> kein UMTS-Modem am Mac :(

Da bevorzuge ich doch eher mein Hagenuk S200, das ist ein echter Palm, und das ganze auch in einem brauchbaren Format. Einziger Nachteil: Ist nur noch gebraucht erhältlich.

@stefan: wieso, über bluetooth dürfte das doch kein Thema sein ? Ich nutze aktuell launch2net als schnittstelle, geht mit allen Plattformen einwandfrei.

I hope Vodafone haven't "improved" it additionally by adding their branding. I had a Siemens S65 from them a few years ago and the branding made it almost impossible to use without dialing into the internet every second button push - I paid about 30 Euro to have the branding removed and vowed never EVER to buy a branded phone again.

Would I be wrong to think that there is probably a battle starting between RIM and Palm/Vodafone/Microsoft? If so, the BlackBerry Pearl seems like RIM isn't just resting on its laurels.

@Ingo: probier's halt. Ich würde allerdings warten bis Novamedia eine Version von L2N hat, die Windows Mobile unterstützt.

Gregg, Palm is a very small fish in this pond. Vodafone does not really like the BlackBerry business model. Too much money going to Canada. They want to roll their own with Microsoft and Exchange "push" mail. Since you are in the Domino space, you can see where that leave Notes.

As for the Treo, it will also deliver BlackBerry Connect. But as I said, MS has a priority here.
