Using the
Treo ™ 650 Smartphone with
Exchange ActiveSync ®
Mobile workers can have wireless access to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 email
and calendar information using the Treo™ 650

technology. With this solution, companies don’t incur
additional expense and management overhead involved in evaluating,
purchasing, installing, and updating third party behind-the-firewall servers. While
these additional servers do provide some unique benefits, many businesses won’t
need more than what's offered through Exchange ActiveSync—functionality that’s
built in to Exchange Server 2003 and the Treo 650 smartphone.
With the latest mobile technology, Treo 650 smartphone users have fast and easy

Commercial carriers have invested heavily to expand the coverage of their
networks and increase the speed of connections, so mobile professionals can
connect quickly and stay connected. The Treo 650 smartphone is a great choice for
mobile professionals because it combines the convenience and simplicity of a
