Palm Offering Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade for Treo 750
"Palm, Inc. today announced that an update to the
Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system will be available for
Treo(TM) 750 smartphone customers around the world. The Treo 750 is
available from carriers in the United States, Europe and Asia and
remains a key part of Palm's international expansion strategy to make
Treo smartphones available to more customers. For AT&T customers,
the update also will facilitate High-speed Downlink Packet Access
(HSDPA) capability - allowing faster data-download speeds on
3G/UMTS/HSDPA networks. "Palm continues to work closely with
Microsoft to maximize the benefits of Windows Mobile and to deliver the
best mobile experience to Treo customers," said Joe Fabris, director of
wireless solutions at Palm, Inc. "Our hallmark Palm experience combined
with the benefits of Windows Mobile 6 on the Treo 750 will continue to
deliver a great productivity tool for businesses across the country and
around the world." The Treo 750 is a five-band world phone that
combines a great phone with email, messaging, web browsing and
organization software. Because the Treo 750 is based on GSM radio
technology that is widely available around the world, it is a natural
fit for multinational businesses or employees who travel
internationally. The flexibility of the Treo 750 combined with Windows
Mobile 6 will help the Treo 750 continue to build on its momentum in
the business market."Great news for Palm Treo 750 owners - myself included - because Windows Mobile 6 offers a lot of great benefits. There's no word on pricing yet, or exact availability, but I sure hope it's soon!
