KPN Picks Up the Treo 750 in the Netherlands

Palm and KPN today announced the Palm Treo 750 smartphone running on KPN's 3G/UMTS network in the Dutch market, providing mobile professionals with an exceptional phone experience and fast download speeds. This move broadens the customer base that will be able to benefit from the Palm experience on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, with added High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) capability.

The Treo 750 smartphone is a touch-screen device that runs Windows Mobile 5.0, offering users access to Outlook applications as well as the ability to view and edit Microsoft Word and Excel files and view PowerPoint and PDF files. The touch screen makes surfing websites, gathering data and navigating forms and applications much easier -- all with KPN's next-generation 3G network.

In addition to delivering a great phone with easy one-handed access to key features, Palm offers a unique suite of software enhancements to Windows Mobile 5.0, including the following:

• Threaded chat view for text and MMS messages;

• Today Screen enhancements, which feature the ability to "dial by name" with a few keystrokes on the keyboard, perform a web search directly from the Today Screen and perform one-touch dialing with personalized photo speed dials;

• Ability to manage a call directly from the Today Screen and stay on top of voicemail with on-screen, VCR-like icons, such as rewind, delete and fast-forward controls for easy navigation; and

• Capability to ignore a call and quickly send a text message such as "In a meeting" or "Can't talk right now" by selecting the "Ignore with text" option from the incoming call screen.

Direct Push Technology is available out of the box with the Treo 750 smartphone, giving users connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server fast, automatic wireless updates of their email, calendar items, contacts and tasks. It provides added security features for IT administrators, such as over-the-air password policy enforcement and remote wipe for lost or stolen devices. It also gives users over-the-air lookup of a company's Global Address List (GAL), providing employees with quick access to colleagues' email and contact information.
