Meet the Palm Treo 500V

For those of you in overseas markets, Palm officially announced the Treo 500V. Co-branded with Vodaphone, this runs Windows Mobile 6; includes a 320x240 color non-touch screen and 256 Mb of onboard memory, and will be available October 1.
A few things I thought were interesting:
No touchscreen-this would drive me batty after owning previous Treo models, but undoubtedly this reduces cost and thickness, and this phone is obviously aimed at new smartphone users. Having no touchscreen means two softkeys are included underneath the screen, Nokia-style. I personally hate this method of navigation, but many worldwide are quite used to it.
Palm has eschewed the regular Treo dock connector for a standard mini-USB port.
Notably, I see no silent switch which has been a mainstay of Treo models since the beginning. This seems to reinforce that Palm is not going after adult business users with this model.
