Orange: Treo 650 in UK, France and Switzerland
Following the success of the Treo 600 smartphone, which was one of the
most successful Orange phones in its Signature catalogue last year in terms of
data usage, the Treo 650 is one of Orange’s flagship Talk Now(TM) phones.
Customers have instant access to groups of friends or colleagues at the touch
of a dedicated button on the side of the phone. As an Orange Signature phone,
it also comes equipped with Orange-specific applications, such as Orange
Backup (which allows customers to automatically back up Contacts, SIM data,
Calendar, Tasks, Memos, Mail and images wirelessly on a remote server) and
Orange Download (which enables customers to receive updated software from
Orange directly to the phone). palmOne and Orange are supporting the launch of
the Treo 650 with a broad range of marketing initiatives, including
advertising campaigns.

Network. Via TIM, Treo 650 users will get access to a series of specific
