If you want a good laugh, you folks should read the Engadget reader comments. Up to about comment #33, the video hadn't been released. Before then, you'll see a plethora of folks bashing "Windows fanbois" for putting the image through Photoshop. It's just as funny to read all the rationalization (with accompanied venom) as to why the image is actually fake.

Default LOL

Surer you crack me up.

I saw that PalmSource stock (the company that make the current OS for the Treo) is available at a special closeout price. They will pay anyone $2 a share to come to their warehouse and haul it away.

Yes, that's a fake. It was whipped up by someone I know as a lark--it was never intended to fool anyone, but apparently someone else either deliberately took it out of context, or accidently misunderstood the nature of the pic.

I almost kept the Treo 650 I had but took it back at the end of the 30 days (Cingular allows returns within 30 days). Excellent phone and the screen is almost as good as my x50v. If the 670 is as real as indications appear it is, I'll probably get one, and Finally have one device. I'd wait until there's at least a month of users' postings on it, though, just to ensure it's not buggy.

Its a pretty cool idea, BUT frankly speaking i cant c it as a P50 killer, both devices has their own tasts... there are still a lot of differences between them buddy... like someone like me would get the P50 instead :wink:

Really? Go reread the source's original posts. He states that a Cobalt model is also being readied.

If this rumor's true, it lends more credibility to that one as well. Just because Palm is going to offer a WM option, doesn't mean the Palm OS option is going away.

But then again, Ed never really seemed one to get caught up in the details when there was FUD to be spread.

I'm pretty sure the palm os is dead...no more development and no more devices using it.

A lot of people have 650's where I work and their reception is much weaker than that of a normal mobile phone. I don't think this will sweep the windows mobile phone industry but I'm usually wrong.
