Palm on Thursday said it will market a version of its Treo smart phone in Europe through Vodafone Group in hopes of resolving technical problems with a previous model

Palm said the latest Treo version will operate on Vodafone's high-speed third generation (3G) network and be powered by Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. The Treo is aimed at meeting growing demand for devices that receive email wirelessly.

The handset will be available first to Vodafone customers in multiple European countries, including the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy and Netherlands, before the end of the calendar year.
