The well-known PDA maker Handspring has partnered with European mega company Orange SA to develop new smart phones. The phones will be used exclusively in Europe on Orange's network. At this time there is no word on a time frame or feature set.

The Register has a little on this move--but no firm details.

Update: We've gotten word that the phone will be an updated Treo. Should be available in September '03 under the Orange brand name.
