palmOne Opens Treo Smartphone Retail Store

palmOne today opened its first Treo Store at the Valley Fair mall in San Jose, Calif.

The new retail store, the first to focus on the Treo smartphone family, is aimed at introducing palmOne’s innovative smartphone products to even more customers and providing an exceptional hands-onexperience. The Treo Store will serve as a one-stop shop for education, awareness and sales of the award-winning Treo family of smartphones, along with the full line of Treo accessories and software.

The already high demand continues to grow for palmOne’s Treo 600 and 650 smartphones, which seamlessly combine a mobile phone, email, organizer, web browser and messaging.

“We’ve seen great success with the palmOne Retail Stores,” said Kanwal Sharma, director of palmOne Retail Stores. “They make it easy for customers to touch, see and learn about our products.”

More than 31 percent of shoppers who stop at the palmOne Retail Stores purchase from other retail partners.

“With the growing popularity of the Treo smartphone line and the new Treo 650 available in time for the holiday buying season, now is the perfect time to open a store just for Treo smartphone shoppers,” said Sharma.

In addition to the Treo Store in the Valley Fair mall, there are now 13 palmOne Retail Stores conveniently located in malls and airports nationwide that carry the full line of palmOne products and accessories. The palmOne brand is synonymous with excellent user experience, and palmOne Retail Stores provide the perfect opportunity for customers to see for themselves why palmOne products continue to be the No. 1 choice for handheld device shoppers.
