Sprint Treo 700w by end of February?

So a bunch of guys over at Bear Stearns, who seem to be even more creepily obsessed with the consumer electronics/media/communications industries than we are, have broken into several overseas manufacturing facilities to discover that the WM5-powered, EV-DO-packin' Treo 700w may be introduced by Sprint as early as the end of Feburary. This contradicts earlier information which pointed to a late-March release, and would also go against the traditional three to six month exclusivity contract that carriers and manufacturers usually sign (Verizon just dropped the 700w on January 5th). By the way, that breaking-and-entering comment about Bear Sterns analysts Ted Chung, Bill Hand, and Andrew Neff is completely false- they got their info the old fashioned way, based on research, networking, and so-called channel checks (unless those are like body checks, in which case we totally stand by our slanderous accusations).
