Palm: Instead of trying to hit a 'younger' audience with these fugly, old tech phones why don't you hook up your real fans with some revolutionary design and technology (thin phones, Linux OS). Maybe then you can earn some real street cred.]]>Jun 9th 2007 5:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/Jun 9th 2007 6:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/
Aspire a little more.

True the 750 and 700w/x models run WM5, but that is the PPC full version, this is the Smartphone version, ala Moto Q, Dash, and Blackjack. Different beast, different requirements e.g. no touch screen.]]>Jun 9th 2007 7:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/Jun 9th 2007 11:02PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/09/palm-gandolf-images-look-legit-windows-mobile-version-on-the/
The white Vodaphone (GSM) model with the WMstd screenshot & different app keys has a landscape QVGA.
It has greater wasted space above the screen to the top of the device, and below the screen to the app/phone "belt". Also, the space from the outside edges of the display to the sides is less. It sports a landscape screen.


The black unbranded model is obviously a digitally enhanched touchup.
If it's an actual rendering of the device, then look at the screen in proportion with the device. The upper and lower areas are lessened by the taller screen, and the outside edges are increased due to the thinner square screen. The actual photo has a 7:6 screen ratio, but the screen shot is obviously added on digitally, just like they do most web images. Looks like I'm the only one with genuine photos round here.
The black device uses the 320x320 square display and Palm OS, hopefully the Linux version unless Palm is shifting FrankyG to the entry levels and Plinux to the upper line and Foleo Monster Laptop Killer.

Note. The black device has palm directly in front of the phone speaker, whereas the WinMob version has the logo to the left and an obvious speaker indention. The black device looks smoothly rounded at the top edges, while the white has the little rolled lip.

Note v2.0. Palm is obviously soon to release this device. Their "leak machine" is acting like normal. Trickling out a few unclear shots here and there to create a buzz, before the announcement.

Note v3.0. Looks like the front face of the device is flat. I wonder if the rear is shaped with a rounded form, in keeping with the rounded edges.

Note v0.998(beta). Photos of the rear of unit on pocketpcmag.com

They are calling it the Mercury instead of Gandolf. Are those dedicated MP3 buttons on the side? Also looks like the reset button hole is back.
