Palm Treo 500v (treo Centro) Windows Mobile smartphone, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new in its original retail package with OEM accessories, this Palm Treo 500v (listed as treo Centro) is the GSM Unlocked Vodafone-market Windows Mobile 6 smartphone with QWERTY keyboard and 2 MP camera. Its European band plan rules out US use, so the buyers are exporters serving markets with live GSM 900/1800 or UMTS 2100 service, and collectors who want a sealed Treo. Confirm the charger plug type with your account manager.
The Palm Treo 500v is a 2007 Windows Mobile 6 Standard smartphone built for Vodafone in Europe, a slim non-touch Treo with a 320 x 240 transflective screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2 MP camera with video capture, 256 MB of memory with about 150 MB free, a microSD slot, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, a mini-USB connector, and a removable 1,200 mAh battery rated for 4.5 hours of talk time, at 120 g. Its radio is GSM 900/1800/1900 with UMTS 2100, a European band plan. The listing calls it 'Treo Centro', though it is a different device from the Palm OS Centro. Collector shops, prop houses, and exporters to markets with live 2G/3G service buy brand-new boxed units from TG Wireless.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Treo 500v is a European tri-band GSM phone with UMTS on 2100 MHz only and no LTE. It lacks GSM 850 and all US 3G bands, and in any case US 3G closed in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no service in the United States today; it is sold GSM unlocked as listed, see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM 900/1800 or UMTS 2100 service is still live, Windows Mobile collectors, film and TV props, and offline use.
Resale fit
- Export to European, African, and Asian markets where GSM 900/1800 or UMTS 2100 service remains live.
- Collector shops that stock Windows Mobile and Treo devices, especially new in box.
- Film and TV prop houses that need 2007-era European smartphones.
