palmOne and Telefonica Moviles Espana, the largest mobile carrier in the Spanish market with more than 19 million clients, today announced an agreement for the distribution of the Treo 650 smartphone in Spain.
The Treo 650, which is scheduled to be available from Telefonica in late May, combines a compact, full-featured quad-band mobile phone with email, a Palm OS organizer, messaging (SMS and multimedia messages), management of office documents and web access, as well as a digital camera. palmOne and Telefonica Moviles also have customized the Treo 650 with movistar applications and services.
Francois Bornibus, vice president for palmOne EMEA, said, "We are delighted to be working with movistar to deliver our world-class smartphone to its customer base in Spain. The Treo range of smartphones is designed specifically to make life easier and more productive for the modern professional. It offers all of the most essential capabilities, including email, web browsing and personal organizing, in a slick, easy-to-use and reliable handset with a full QWERTY keyboard. This is the business person's phone."
Luis Ezcurra, marketing and market development managing director of Telefonica Moviles Espana, said, "Our main objective with this launch is to satisfy the communications needs of a large number of high-value customers in all segments. The Treo 650 is an excellent opportunity for our customers to have PDA and mobile phone features in a single device."

RE: Protocol Not mentioned
At last! With Vodafone selling the Treo 600 as 'the ultimate product from p1' and both carriers embracing PPC's and especially Blackberries, I feared that the 650 would never make it to Spain...

Protocol Not mentioned
I want to know if Spain's going to get CDMA or GSM--it is utmost important to state out the protocol which Spain is going to get the Treo 650 on.
All I know is that Asia's more supportive of CDMA, Europe is supportive of GSM, and United States of America is kind of mixed as far as Cell Phone Protocols are concerned.
