Just a few weeks after announcing the Windows Mobile powered Treo 700w, which is a deal said to parnter Microsoft and Palm against the popular RIM BlackBerry, Palm itself has announced a deal with RIM to bring the BlackBerry Connect software to the Treo 650.

"The award-winning Palm Treo 650 smartphone makes it easier than ever for mobile professionals to stay connected. With carrier activation, the Treo 650 combines a compact, full-featured mobile phone with email, an organizer, messaging and web access, allowing users to organize and simplify their business and personal lives all in one place. The Treo 650 offers integrated Bluetooth(R) wireless technology, a high-resolution screen, multimedia capabilities, a removable battery, non-volatile memory and a backlit QWERTY keyboard."

Next we'll probably hear of a deal between RIM and Microsoft, followed shortly by a deal with Palm and itself.
