http://digital-lifestyles.info/2007...-phone-rumours/

"Going under the code name of the ‘Palm Gandolf,’ the Palm version is rumoured to debut on Sprint later this year for a cheap-as-chips retail price of $200 and pack EVDO (rev. A), full QWERTY keyboard and integrated camera, Bluetooth and a Micro SD expansion slot. The Windows version (seen here in a rather dashing white finish), is said to run Windows Mobile Standard (formerly WM Smartphone edition) and comes with a 320×240 display - a big improvement on their current Windows phone, the Treo 750."



There's a lot of news floating around about Palm working on a Smartphone device called the Gandolf. I don't know that I'm behind this rumour too much. It's my guess that this is actually a Professional device. Besides, the design is kind of boring and dull if you ask me.

I agree that the design is kind of lame. But, it looks like a Standard edition to me. There is not Start menu in the top left, but there is a Microsoft logo in the bottom left--like the Start menu button on a Smartphone. Also, it is in the middle of a program, and there does not appear to be an "Ok" button in the top right but rather a signal indicator.

Boring design? We are talking about Palm here... Wink

Actually, I think it has enough 'cool factor' -- white and silver, small design, etc to where it will sell really well.

Oh, I don't know, I think it looks pretty cool actually - I dig the white and silver. It would have been boring if they made it black and grey - there's too much black and grey. The price point will be interesting...but it will still tank in Canada because our carriers here have their heads up their a$$ses regarding data plan pricing. Evil or Very Mad
