Vodafone is the latest carrier offering BlackBerry Connect on the Palm Treo 650 so you can enjoy push email on the go without giving up your Treo. The service is available to existing owners and comes with the full push email and calendar synchronisation via BlackBerry Enterprise Server. There are two plans to choose from, a $29.95 Lite plan that gives you 1MB of emails or the full monty deal of unlimited email service for $49.95. The plans are added as a ‘bolt on' the Vodafone's capped business plans. The addition of Vodafone means that BlackBerry Connect is now available on three of the four major networks - Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. "This reiterates Palm's commitment to providing enterprise-strength mobile computing solutions to an ever-growing customer base. With over 30,000 commercially available applications, and now with connectivity to BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the Treo 650 has become an essential tool for mobile professionals," said Paul Blinkhorn, vice-president for Palm Asia Pacific Vodafone also supports BlackBerry devices, of course, but the addition of Treo 650 support offers users a better range of handheld devices to get their email. Norm Lo, Vice-President for Asia Pacific at RIM, said: "Companies around the world are embracing the security, efficiency and robust management capabilities supported by BlackBerry and enjoying the many personal productivity and organisational workflow benefits enabled by BlackBerry mobile email. We are pleased to provide BlackBerry Connect on the Treo 650 for Vodafone's customers in Australia." The BlackBerry Connect on Treo 650 solution also supports Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino customers.
