Handspring Treo 270 Leaked

Posted by timothy on from the leaked-whatever dept.

Brian writes "Details of Treo 270 codenamed Atlanta, handspring's next communicator which incorporates a color display is leaked. PDA LIVE.com has the scoop and the photos!" I think this one's uglier than its predecessor, but it's got color and claims similar battery life, so if you're looking for a very wide phone, this could be it.

    It has multiple colors, extended battery life and a nice wide formfactor...

    Now the only question left is does it vibrate?

    Maybe someone should have taken it to the restroom beforehand.

  3. Leaked... Question by WetCat · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is it water-proof? How much is the coldest operating temperature?
    There is some need for handhelds that can work under -30 Celsius
    (normal temperature in some parts in Russia in winter) and be waterproof.
    What can you suggest?

    And now, because I'm a damn slow typer, this is going to be modded (-1, Redundant). I really hate typing out a message, checking links and submitting only to discover that faster typers submitted before me. Oh well, it's only Karma!

    Cheers.

    If a handspring is leaked, would we say handsprung?

    They're calling it Atlanta.

    So I'm guessing it will be big, slow, and poorly designed. It will contain few notable features, and will be generally unaesthetic. While the device will be able to withstand blistering heat, the moment the tempeture gets a degree below freezing, the whole thing will shut down until help can arrive from a more northern device. While it will be connected to the information superhighway, it will be unable to handle traffic of any volume, and will utterly lack alternative methods of connectivity. While it will claim to have a better display, most users will still find that it choses to view things in black and white.
