Default More on that Vodafone Treo

http://blogs.conchango.com/kenibarw...07/19/4242.aspx



Remember all that talk about the Palm Lennon? It seems to match up with the recent announcement by Microsoft, Palm, and Vodafone of the delivery of a Treo for the European region. So, what might we expect? Quad-band GSM/GPRS/3G support, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, a 240 x 240 display (you weren't expecting more, were you? ), Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi (maybe), a miniSD slot, a 1.3-megapixel camera (another maybe), Windows Mobile 5.0 with the MSFP, and all that Palm lovin' via the special value-added Today plug-ins, packed into a shell resembling the Treo 700w, minus the external antenna. Sources indicate a Treo 750v model name, but still no word yet on a release date or price. If you're dying to learn more, you can register your interest at Vodafone.

What happened to the thinner design this GSM version was supposed to feature? Rumors (and leaked photos) depicted an antenna-less Treo 700 with noticeably thinner body. If the GSM Treo really does turn out to be the same old 700w minus an external antenna and WiFI, then it's not even remotely competitive.
