Handspring today introduced a new design for its future smartphones that combines a fully integrated QWERTY keyboard with a smaller, more phone-like form factor -- Treo 600.

There are no exact measurements published, but look at the Treo 600 photo on the left, there is a major difference in size to the current Treo devices on the market.

Treo 600 products will feature an ARM processor and Palm OS 5 for fast performance.

Additional features include a new proxyless version of the Handspring Blazer web browser to enable full web browsing and secure access to corporate intranets, an expansion slot for third-party secure digital and MMC solutions such as MP3 and wireless networking solutions, a built-in VGA camera for taking and sending pictures and setting up picture caller ID, and a dual speaker architecture for high-quality phone and system audio. A dual-band CDMA radio and a quad-band GSM/GPRS radio will power respective versions of the product.

The first Treo 600 products are expected this fall worldwide.
