With the Treo smartphone, users are more readily available to clients, and are immediately notified when meetings are added or changed on their calendars. When the Treo smartphone is coupled with accessories such as a Bluetooth(R) headset, downtime on the go turns into productive time, putting users in contact with teams and customers the world over.
