O2 UK launch Palm Treo 500 Windows Mobile Smartphone

"Until earlier this year, the Palm Treo 500 Windows mobile 6 Standard smartphone was available from Vodafone as the Palm Treo 500v only but later, Palm also released is carrier free to retail channels. Now, O2 UK has selceted Palm's first Windows Mobile Standard for its business customers as well. The Palm Treo 500 smartphone runs on Windows Mobile 6 Standard and has a full QWERTY keyboard, QVGA screen and supports triband GSM/GPRS at 900/1800/199 MHz and singleband UMTS at 2100 MHz (but not HSDPA)."
I'm not sure I like this new form factor Palm is using but here is a Smartphone version. Unfortunately it is only Tri-Band. I wonder how much extra the cost is to just make them all Quad-band and end this problem for us customers state side! This is especially true now that carriers seem to be jumping on the unlocking bandwagon.
