The Palm P850 or Palm Treo P850, is a Palm OS-based smartphone released in 2010. This device was a minor update of the Treo 650, tailored specifically for the Chinese market and sold as a low-cost smartphone option.
In early 2009 Palm CEO Ed Colligan declared that there would be no new Palm OS devices released following the Palm Centro, and that the company was reportedly working hard on their next-generation operating system. However, at the start of 2010 the Palm P850 was quietly released in China as a low-cost smartphone option, selling for 560-700CNY outright,[1][2] and was selling for as low as 200CNY by late 2011.[3] Available exclusively with Chinese localization, the existence of this device was not broadly discussed outside of Asia; it is speculated that the device is an unofficial "Shanzhai", and that these devices are originally Treo 650 units that have been locally refurbished and modified.
