View Full Version : More Pictures of the Treo... 'Lowrider'

Following my previous post “First Pictures of Treo 'Hollywood'!?” some additional pictures have been released of the same Treo (possibly a prototype) which appears identical to the Treo 650 except that it doesn’t sport an antenna.

Evidently, now that we can clearly see below that the thickness of this Treo ‘prototype’ has not been reduced we have to discard the likelihood that this would be the much anticipated “Hollywood” model which is widely rumoured to be both ‘thinner and slicker’ than the Treo 650.

So, if it’s not the Treo “Hollywood” could this nonetheless be one of the yet unseen Treo “Lowrider” models also rumoured to be released this year? Or yet another unknown Treo?

Overall, while many would like to claim that these images are a sophisticated hoax I find it unlikely that someone would have gone through the rather time consuming and costly process of making an entirely new casing simply for amusement…

Either way, whether this is just a fully working antenna-less Treo 650 or an as yet unreleased new Treo I would very much like to get my hands on one!

I don't believe it. I would believe palm would change the volume buttons to match those of the 700's. Plus, if you're going to redesign the hardware, chances are the buttons are gonna look at least slightly different.

:haha: Dude that's just a painted 6fifty.... That's flying around treocentral and the veterans on that site disected it and I believ them when they say it's a fake. They have a pix of the front and it still has the same face as the 650. Rounded numbers and all.. Please...

I am really hoping this is true but my BS detector is on also. If you look on the thread being discussed on TreoCentral they are actually speaking to the person that took these pix. He is suppose to take some pix with more "proof." Scroll up to read the whole post. http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?p=936259#post936259

Hoping for something so much will only make you think this is more real than it really is. Take if from someone who's held/used/played with the 700p for 2 days, that is not a next generation palm, that's definitely, without a doubt, a 650 painted.
