This looks like it is going to be a really cool G3 smartphone for the European market. And it looks a lot like the annoucment Palm/Microsoft/Verizon had last September (2005) to announce the first Palm Windows Mobile Treo, the 700w.

It is still too early to tell is this is the "Hollywood" Treo or not, but I am willing to bet that this is the third (of four) Treos to be launched this year.
