Handspring Treo 270 Leaked

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.

  2. Samsung I300 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative
    I bought a Samsung I300 about 6 months ago and wouldn't trade it in for one of these things if my life depended on it. Here are a few reasons why:

    • The I300 has awesome color (yeah the new Treo does too ...)
    • The I300 looks/feels like a PDA, secondary it's a phone
    • The I300 looks professional, not like a toy
    • The I300 is smoothly integrated with the PalmOS, from playing with the Treo I can see they have a LOT of work to do in this area
    • The I300 has a speaker phone! This is an AWESOME feature, just tap the speaker icon while on a phone call and switch over to other Palm apps to take down phone numbers, dates, etc.
    • The I300 isn't wide at all - it's actuall skinnier (width wise) than these Treo's. It's kinda long, but is actually skinnier THICKNESS wise than my old Samsung


    I'd highly recommend checking out the I300 before purchasing a Treo.

      The I300 has a speaker phone!

      Yep, so does the Treo. How's the email on that I300? That was my problem with it, the inability to sync to my company's Exchange server without hooking up the cables. TreoMail will sync over the airwaves. Plus, there's the fact that the I300 doesn't have a keyboard, that was a problem for me.
