Treo 500 UnlockedPalm Europe is now offering a sim unlocked version of the Treo 500 smartphone. The Treo 500 is now available online for £269.00 in the UK and for €399,00 in most European countries.

The Treo 500 is a Windows Mobile 6 (Smartphone edition) powered smartphone. It comes equipped with a full qwerty keyboard and a 240x320 pixel transflective display. It has a tri-band GSM radio supporting the 900/1800/1900 bands and UTMS 2100. It also includes 256MB memory with 150MB available for user storage, a 2 megapixel digital camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and a microSD expansion slot.

Palm recently disclosed that the Treo 500 would not be sold in the US during its last conference call. Since the Treo 500 is a tri-band GSM phone, it would not work as well with US. American GSM carriers, such as AT&T and T-Mobile, typically offer quad-band phones on their networks.

Why? You can get a much better ETEN X800 for that price.
