Hitting shelves later this year, Vodafone will offer Palm Treo 500v and Samsung F700 multimedia smartphones.

Vodafone and Palm today announced the Palm Treo 500v smartphone which combines multiple forms of communication and multimedia capabilities with high speed 3G/UMTS mobile internet access, allowing users to access popular websites such as MySpace, YouTube and eBay whilst on the move.

The Palm Treo 500v runs on Windows Mobile 6 and has a full keyboard, screen without a touch interface, video streaming capability and a comprehensive multi-messaging functionality covering Instant Messaging, SMS, e-mail and scheduling. Furthermore, the Palm Treo 500v features a 2 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a 150MB internal memory (expandable with microSD cards).

To be available in glacier white and charcoal grey, the Palm Treo 500v will ship exclusively on Vodafone in October 2007. It will initially be available to Vodafone customers in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the UK and Vodacom customers in South Africa.

It also seems like Samsung's highly anticipated F700 is in its final stage of development, as Vodafone recently announced that they'll start selling it this holiday season. Featuring a touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and a 5-megapixel camera, the F700 is the most fully-featured multimedia smartphone to date. Read our full impressions of the F700 here.
