Palm will collaborate with Vodafone Group PLC and Microsoft to create a new smart phone, the device maker said on Thursday.

The Treo phone will operate on Vodafone's 3G network and will run Windows Mobile 5.0. It will be aimed at enterprise customers who will be able to receive push e-mail on the phone.

Palm said the Treo will initially be offered to Vodafone customers in countries including the U.K., Germany, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands before the end of the year.
