Handspring And SEVEN Collaborate To Create Integrated Mobile Email Experience For Award-Winning Treo 600 Smartphones

Handspring's New Treo 600 Smartphone Series to Launch with SEVEN's Email Client

Mountain View, Calif., and Redwood City, Calif. (July 14, 2003) - Handspring Inc., (Nasdaq:HAND) and SEVEN today announced an agreement to work together to integrate SEVEN's mobile email software with Handspring's forthcoming Treo 600 smarphone for select mobile operators. SEVEN will offer Treo 600 users secure, real-time, over-the-air access to their Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, IMAP and POP email, PIM information and documents. SEVEN's software, which is currently available on the Treo 300 and 270, will be the default email client on all Treo 600 devices sold by Sprint PCS. Announced last month, the award-winning Treo 600 series combines a phone, Palm OS 5-based organizer with messaging, email and web browsing features. The first Treo 600 devices are expected to be available worldwide later this year.

SEVEN and Handspring have worked closely together to support Sprint email solutions since the launch of the Treo 300 last summer. Today, SEVEN's mobile communications software powers various email solutions already available across the Treo family of products, including Sprint PCS Business Connection, Cingular Xpress Mail, and SingTel Group's MobileMail.

"Treo is known for its usability, utility and ability to make important office applications portable so you can be connected when you're not in the office," said Ed Colligan, founder, president, and chief operating officer for Handspring. "By integrating SEVEN's mobile email client with Treo 600, we make it easy for people to stay in touch with their business and personal email on the go."

SEVEN partners with mobile operators and device manufacturers to distribute the company's mobile email software. Named 2003 Product of the Year by Network Magazine, SEVEN's software is network and device agnostic, and works across tier-one mobile operators worldwide including Sprint PCS, Cingular Wireless, NTT DoCoMo, O2, Orange and The SingTel Group. SEVEN is the only mobile email provider whose software is available in all of the top wireless data markets, including Japan, Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States.

"We are dedicated to creating a superior user experience for our customers," said Billy Alvarado, SEVEN's vice president of products. "This collaboration delivers secure, easy-to-use, personal and corporate email on a great mobile device; it is a winning combination."
