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.

  1. 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.
