14 DAY TRIAL // Palm, Inc. and SingTel announced the availability of the Palm Treo 680 smartphone on the SingTel network in Singapore. With the GSM/GPRS/EDGE quad-band phone, SingTel offers its customers a slim and compact device, with advanced features such as email, web browsing, messaging, multimedia, calendar, contacts and more.
"SingTel is excited to bring the award-winning Palm Treo user experience to our customers," said Vicki Brady, vice president of Consumer Marketing for SingTel. "With multimedia, business, and wireless Internet capabilities right out of the box, the Treo 680 allows subscribers to leverage SingTel's island-wide wireless mobile data networks, as well as a selection of exclusive content available on SingTel IDEAS."
The Palm Treo 680 smartphone is easy to use because of the multiple innovations it encompasses, including an improved phone application, which allows users to dial and navigate the phone features more quickly; the ability to ignore calls and send a quick text message, such as "In a meeting" or "Can't talk right now"; a full QWERTY keyboard with improved buttons, making it even easier to type emails or SMS text messages; and a messaging application that displays text-messaging conversations as "threaded chats," meaning users can see their entire conversations with a particular person.
"The Treo 680 smartphone is reaching new customers and markets, exemplifying Palm's dedication to expanding both geographically and demographically," said John Hartnett, senior vice president, global markets, Palm, Inc. "Its affordability, ease of use and style are attracting new users in the smartphone and feature-phone markets."
