Vodafone adds a custom Windows Mobile interface to Treo 500v

Palm Treo 500vFirst Palm goes and preloads Windows Mobile onto Palm Treo smartphones and Palm purists die a little inside. Now it looks like Vodafone has decided to tweak the heck out of the Windows Mobile interface for the upcoming launch of the Treo 500v and Windows Mobile purists are... well, we're not really sure. The streamlined interface does look like it could make some tasks simpler while others could be needlessly more complicated.

Vodafone is calling the new menu system Vodafone TPP. Basically it's a side-scrolling method for flipping through Windows Mobile applications and web services.

The start menu doesn't look anything like your typical Windows Mobile start menu (or your Windows desktop start menu either for that matter). There are also new "main menu" and "application" menus for launching programs.

Arne Hess over at the unwired did a video review, which you can check out after the jump.
