Palm Unveils the Treo 680 Smartphone
By: Laiq Qureshi   |   Apr 20,2007
Palm introduced the Palm Treo 680 smartphone in the country today. A GSM/GPRS/EDGE quad-band world phone, the Treo 680 is targeted at new users in the rapidly growing smartphone and feature-phone markets. "The Treo 680 smartphone is reaching new customers and markets, exemplifying Palm's dedication to expanding both geographically and demographically," said Sharon Ee, head of business, South Asia, for Palm.


Palm believes this product will appeal to feature-phone users who want a more capable mobile-computing device. Pricing the Treo 680 at Rs 25,500, Palm maintains that Treo 680 will offer an affordable and simple way to get started and stay connected.

The Treo 680 smartphone includes 64 MB of user-available storage, nearly three times the memory of its predecessor the Treo 650 smartphone. Customers can add up to 2 GB of storage with expansion cards (sold separately) for those large music or video files;

It also has an internal antenna and is designed with ease of use in mind. It has a full, easy-type keyboard, perfect for writing SMS messages and emails, and an optimal 320x320 color screen for viewing web pages, photos and media. Apart from this, it also supports text-messaging conversations as threaded chats, similar to IM, so users can see their entire conversation with a particular person. The Treo 680 smartphone also can be used as an MP3 player and has an integrated digital camera with video-capture support and video player.

'"The Treo 680 together with a world-class Palm experience will attract a broader range of users who want an easy-to-use solution to manage and balance their work and personal lives while on the go," said Ee.

Can I exchange my Treo 650 (purchased from Hutch Shop a year back) with the new Treo 680?

Good point Alok! Palm is taking Indian customers like us for a ride. Before 'unveiling' products they should do something about their customer care here. And pricing needs to be more competitive. Their India website remains back dated and has no mention of the Treo 680.

so why does palm think people will pay 25500 when the same unlocked device is available on palm US for $400 i.e. rs 17000! and treo is now on 750 series now, even as they "unveil" 680 in india!
