More pics show antenna-free Treo to be more of a "Lowrider"

by Paul Miller posted Mar 22nd 2006 at 1:50PM

We wish we could get more info this sparkle blue Treo other than a growing collection of janky photos, but we'll run with what we've got. New pics have surfaced showing the front of the device, and it's looking to be a mere clone of the 650 -- minus antenna, of course -- instead of something more akin to a Palm version of the 700w form factor that has been subject to numerous rumors of its own. This could mean that we're looking at the rumored low-end "Lowrider" instead of the supposedly trim 'n fit 3G "Hollywood." It could also mean we're looking at pics of a painted 650 with a lopped off antenna -- your guess, as always, is as good as ours.

Looks totally janky. No way that's even a prototype.

Read the treocentral thread on this, its a photoshop job! Old pics had battery door as grey these new ones have it as blue, among other issues...

In the last picture of it you could see the spot were the antena used to be, this is just a 650 with a paint job.

I agree... Someone just hacked/ripped off the antenna, and then gave it a terrible paint job.

Palm, please hire a new product designer. I want clean simple lines. Something nice to look at and hold.
