Palm Europe prices up Treo 680 smart phone
Taking pre-orders
21st November 2006 12:18 GMT
Palm has begun taking orders from Europeans for its upcoming Treo 680 Palm OS-based smart phone. The updated stubless and RoHS-compliant (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/07/03/palm_ends_treo_650_euro_shipments/) version of the Treo 650 will retail for £329 inc VAT if you want one unallied to any specific mobile phone network.
Alas, while Palm launched the 680 in a variety of bright colours, the unlocked version appears to be only available in conservative grey. The handset sports the usual 320 x 320, 65,536-colour display, 312MHz PXA270 processor, 64MB of Flash memory, VGA camera, Bluetooth 1.2 and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE wireless link.
Palm's website didn't indicate when the 680 will ship. ®
