serial number also looks un-natural.
one last thing the screen is displaying a picture of itself, which means that there are 2 of them or the picture was taken with another phone and sent to this phone. which just seems like too much work.]]>Jun 25th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/picture.... Get over yourselves.

Anyways, I love to read these posts, they tickle muh innards. I was
looking at the Palm "Gandalph" post from yesteryear that was linked
above in the blog and there's a guy on there screaming that the
picture is fake and points out all the details why... including him
being a day to day photoshoppper..... Isn't it funny how if the
picture was indeed a fake that it turned out to be IDENTICAL to the
Centro that came later??? 'tards..

And, hello? Somebody can't have fingers that stretch far apart? Ever hear of musicians? More specifically, guitar players?

you guys are awesome. You've come out with yet another innovative masterpiece, that is indistinguishable from every other phone you've made in the last 5 years!

Makes me glad that I jumped ship to Winmob.

I work for Sprint, and Palm just sent us a pre-release model that looks just like that, complete with the test serial number in the top right corner. Release data is supposed to be June 14th unless they change it again. Runs WinMo 6.1, looks like the Centro's older brother. Otherwise pretty much what you would expect. Nothing revolutionary, sadly, but nowhere near as bad as I thought it might be.]]>Jun 26th 2008 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/Jun 26th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/Jun 25th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/treo-800-spy-shot-madness-starts-again-with-new-blurry-goodness/

I predict the 800, if ever released, is the last attempt by Palm at the high end smartphone. The Centro is their bread an butter, and they will continue to find their niche in the low end, cheapo-smartphone market.

I mourn the demise of an inovator who brought us such gems as the Visorphone.

But Handspring was founded by Palm people.

Let us chart the evolution of Palm, it went something like this:

Palm makes PDAs and OS - Handspring forms from Palm people and make PDAs and then smartphones and licenses Palm OS - Palm splits into Palm Source who make the OS and PalmOne who make hardware and buys Handspring - Palm Source is bought by Access who make the OS and leases it back to PalmOne who then buys back rights to change their name back to Palm who now want make hardware an OS.

No wonder we do not see any innovation from PalmHandspringPalmSourceAccessPalmOnePalm. They are too busy ordering new letterhead.]]>Jun 25th 2008 4:31PM
