Palm has teamed with Orange France to design enterprise solutions to be offered as the Orange bureau service for Palm Tungsten W handheld. The companies initially partnered in the development of a Bluetooth pack last October.

According to the companies, Orange France's data mobile option, Orange bureau, will offer Tungsten W handheld users in France wireless access to their email, contacts and other information while within Orange's network coverage area.

Rick Hartwig, a product manager at the Palm Solutions Group, said "the solutions that we're currently proposing with Orange considerably expand the field of access to information for professionals looking for reliable, secure and cost-effective resources. In this way, they can gain fast access to enterprise data and increase their productivity while on the move."

With carrier activation, the Palm Tungsten W handheld is a data-centric handheld providing a combination of wireless email, SMS messaging, phone functionality, business applications, and Palm's classic Personal Information Management software. It is is equipped with a GSM/GPRS network (GPRS Class 10) radio and is powered by a lithium ion battery, for up to 10 hours of talk time. It also features one-handed navigation; a built-in keyboard; a high-resolution color screen; and access to Internet content through the Palm WebPro browser.
