Orange Unveils New Handspring Smartphone in Europe

French-owned mobile phone company Orange ORA.PA launched the first retail version of the award-winning Treo 600 on Wednesday, a combined handset and digital organizer made by U.S. company Handspring Inc. HAND.O .

The launch represents an important move for Handspring in the European market and another attempt by Orange to establish a solid foothold in a crowded market for so-called "smartphones."

With a slimmer design to help attract cell-phone users, the Treo 600 features e-mail, Web browsing and an MP3 music file player, and can snap and send pictures from an embedded camera.
