The Register reports that Palm will make its Windows Mobile 6 smartphone Treo 500v available in an unlocked state in January 2008.
While the machine has been available for quite some time(and even scored a mediocre review on TamsPPC); VodaFone has had an exclusive contract on the device so far. However, this exclusive contract is expiring – and Palm now makes the machine hit the road(big time).
As for the 500v itself, it is a rather uninspiring machine(especially due to its operating system – Windows Mobile for Smartphone is UGLY) – here are a few links to parts of our review containing further information(on the Vodafone model):
