Crimson Treo 680

John Chan | Jul 06, 2007

After over half a year since it was first launched in the US, the red version of the Treo 680 is now available in Singapore.

The Treo 680 is Palm's latest GSM PDA-phone to make use of the Palm OS. Though the graphite-colored version has already been on sale in our region, three other colors were offered for sale only in the US--white, orange and red. Unlike the graphite version which was locked in with an operator there, the colorful variants were sold on the Palm US site as unlocked devices.

Having different colors for the Treo 680 outlined Palm's desire to appeal to the masses, and not just the professional crowd, for its line of PDA phones. This was also evidenced by its consumer-friendly price of US$399 in the US.

The Crimson Treo 680 will cost S$728 (US$535.29) in the island-state. Palm has yet to respond at press time as to whether the other colors will be made available and if other countries in the region will be getting the red version. More information to follow as it becomes available.
