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. When will the promise be fulfilled? by ghoul · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Companies have been promising a all-in-one product for a long time but we still see people carrying an organizer, a laptop, a cellphone , a MP3 player and a pager !

    Sometimes it makes me think the EM radiation combined from all the devices must be going over the safe threshold!

    Also ever notice how the all in one product is never the first on the market? Just look at portable Music players. First they sold us cdmans; then they sold us MP3 players ; now they are trying to sell us the combined product and for cheaper than both the original products?

  2. I always wondered... by keep_it_simple_stupi · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does anybody other than me have semi-oily skin? When I use my cell phone for an extended period of time, that oil gets onto the screen of the cell phone since it rests against my face. Now what happens when you use one of these PDA phones? Are they designed for this not to happen? I would hate to have to wipe the touchscreen after using the phone... "No! I don't want to call China!"

    Anyway, if anyone has experience with these phones please clue me in. Thanks.
