Treo Hollywood sighted for reals?

by Paul Miller, posted Apr 19th 2006 at 1:33AM

Enough with that sketchwardo, sparkle blue, antenna-free Treo we've been seeing around, these new pics seem to be more like the real "Hollywood" deal. Just as rumored, the phone is slimmer than the 700 and 650, and antenna free as well. The profile actually looks a bit BlackBerry-esque, but the front is all Treo. Palm OS loyalists among us won't be so excited to see Windows Mobile 5.0 running on this thing, but just keep in mind Ed Colligan's word that Palm OS isn't going anywhere, we're sure a Palm OS version of this unit will follow soon. There's no carrier branding on this unit, but the tipster reported 67KB/s speeds on Cingular's UMTS 1900 network, along with a 300MHz processor, 1.3 megapixel camera, and that fairly tired 240 x 240 display. Of course, these pics are a bit blurry, and we shouldn't expect the gospel truth on this device until Palm trots it out at a press conference (if then), but it's looking good so far.

Palm version set to follow...the freaken thing is made by palm and they have sold out to winmo, WTF?

I should have never bought a "palm" powered treo 650, now I'm stuck waiting around for an os that will support the hundreds of dollars of software I bought for my "Palm" treo 650...thanks palm, you suck.

Since things are alway burried in a forum, Treonauts had the first full blog post about these pictures. Check out what they have to say about it...

Congrats! Yours seems to be the very first use of the term "sketchwardo" on the Internet.
