It provides all the mobile communication options you need (SMS, MMS, messaging, e-mail, Internet) to stay organised and keep in touch while you are away, whether with the company, your customers and business partners or with family and friends.
Its predecessor, the Treo 600, is one of the four best-selling smartphones in Europe. As a result of its partnership with palmOne, Orange is able to offer a PalmOS-operated smartphone in the shape of the Treo 650, that is specifically geared to the needs of its customers. For the first two months following its launch, Orange will be the only mobile communication provider to offer its Treo 650 on the Swiss market. In comparison with the standard Treo 650, the Orange Treo 650 comes with the following additional features:
- Orange Homescreen: direct access to contacts, telephone call lists, SMS, MMS, e-mail, calendar, camera and Orange World.
- Orange Backup: Backup of Treo 650 data (SIM contacts, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, pictures) on the Orange backup server - available with Express option without additional charges.
- Orange Download: Additional applications, demos and backgrounds for the Treo 650 from Orange.

MobileFinder: Vehicle control with the Treo 650
Along with all the functions you expect nowadays from a smartphone (see separate data sheet for details), the Orange Treo 650 gives you the option of adding numerous additional applications as well as specially developed solutions for businesses. It is, therefore, a particularly useful communication and information tool for companies.
