Kiwis get second Windows Mobile Treo and Palm promotes Windows Mobile among students October 11, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Isn't it amazing that a couple years ago fans of Windows Mobile couldn't care less what Palm is up to, but now they observe Palm carefully ... ? Tomorrow, on October 12, 2006, Palm is supposed to announce new Treo smartphone - probably Palm OS based smartphone without protruding antenna - but in meantime other news are coming from Palm: After Treo 750v for GSM/UMTS, that will be available at Vodafone New Zealand starting November 1st 2006, now also second Windows Mobile Treo is coming to the land of kiwi - for CDMA network this time: I just got an invitation to attend a media event where Palm, Telecom New Zealand and Microsoft will demonstrate a new Windows Mobile Palm Treo connected to the Telecom New Zealand CDMA EVDO network. I am pretty sure this will be the first Palm Treo CDMA EVDO being released outside the U.S. where it is available now as Treo 700w (Verizon Wireless) and Pam Treo 700wx (Sprint).

Students will use the Treo 700wx, Sprint's first Windows Mobile-based Treo smartphone on the Sprint Power Vision Network, to promote the benefits of mobility and create greater awareness of the Palm Connected Campus, an initiative that supports mobile-computing environments where mobile computing connects students, faculty, IT, administrators and staff to each other, the campus network and personal information. "The Microsoft Student Partner program gives Palm the opportunity to reach 114 campuses nationwide with its Palm Connected Campus initiative," said Eric Johnson, general manager of education at Palm. "Student partners will execute a series of activities on behalf of Palm, including technology presentations and product showcases, to demonstrate new technologies that universities need to meet the demand for affordable, wireless connectivity on their campuses."
