But, hey maybe Palm is listening finally?

... The beauty of the design is in the fact that most tasks can be handled in one handed fashion like the Treo excels at. But when vids, e-mail, spreadsheets or other l/s tasks are needed, a flick of the screen rotates and leaves the KB available.

I checked the keyboard in the picture and compared it to my 750 sitting right next to me and the graphics are EXACTLY the same on the keyboard.

I have three other ppc/smart phones sitting here and none of them have even remotely similar keyboard graphics.

Now, is it the new Palm (c) (tm) 20?? OS or is it a WM device?

That trackpad and buttons at the bottom seem pretty cool, although the ergonomics may not be so great.]]>Dec 7th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/Dec 7th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/Dec 7th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/Dec 7th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/
Whether someone KIRF'd Palm's keyboard, or that's a prototype (for a past or future model), I agree that's a 100% match to the Palm layout, right down to the symbols. AND...

Note two little extra bits of stylistic nod: (1) The orange number pad gives the thing Palm's white and orange colors. (2) The button at the right / base of the screen looked familiar, too, but it took me a while to find an example like it. It's a bit like the older Tungsten T / T2 / C / W -era instead of what Palm'd started using recently (various oval/rounded-rectangle).

Pocketables mentioned this photo was taken back in June.

@carcomptoy: Palm contracted with HTC for on demand manufacturing back in January. So while they may not have much of a marketing presence in Korea, they _indirectly_ have a manufacturing presence there.]]>Dec 7th 2008 3:47PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/Dec 7th 2008 9:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/Dec 7th 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/Dec 7th 2008 8:40PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/
@duswdav - no, Tony Stark used an LG (can't recall the model, sorry). Overall, it was rather undertech for the quality of everything else (you know.. his suit) but then again he was using Dell servers. The product placement in that film was almost as bad as in recent James Bond films...]]>Dec 8th 2008 7:10AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://media.blogtimes.org/86&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ko&tl=en]]>Dec 8th 2008 4:50AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/07/mysterious-t-swivel-handset-appears-on-korean-site-keeps-us-gue/Dec 8th 2008 4:51AM
