Volt employee spills beans on next Windows Mobile Treo?


Apparently a temporary Volt software test engineer working for Microsoft has posted photos of the next soon to be released Windows Mobile Treo.Over at Treonauts a member under the name of awggie has been stating some compelling information a few days ago and was prompted to post actual photos of his claims. Just this morning photos have appeared which look to be the next version of the popular Treo 700w.

The user stated that the device runs on Windows Mobile 5 in which the model in the photograph is GSM, and features UMTS 3G broadband data. It features 128 MB of flash memory, 64 MB of RAM, a 300 MHz processor (presumably the 312 MHz PXA270), 240 x 240 screen, and 1.3 megapixel camera. He also reported speeds of approximately 530 Kbits per second on Cingular's UMTS network.

Doing some searching on the internet apparently this user is a member of MySpace and clearly states in his profile that he has a temporary contract for Volt and currently working for the Mobile and Embedded Devices section Microsoft as a Software Test Engineer.

Also doing some more research apparently his name is Adam. Interesting enough it seems as if he has spilled the beans on other site such as QUsers speaking about the Motorola Q.

He also speaks about bugs on the Motorola Q where he states "i just checked my email, there are two bugs from TA trials in our database, both seem to be 'non blocker' type... one is for translations in one part of the UI (CHS, GER, etc). The other one already has a fix ready to check in, but is on hold waiting for more feedback from VZW."

On another note apparently he is testing the T-Mobile SDA for what he calls AKU3.

Readers can see all of his postings at Q Users here

Also read all of his posts at TreoCentral over here where users will find a ton of information about this next generation Treo.

Oh he's gonna get fired alright (if he wasn't fired on Friday yet). Microsoft has very little patience for idiots who post photographs and manager emails on public forums. 23 years and a stupid myspace page Volt should have done the digging before hiring him.
better yet, revert him back to a dial-up connection!
Make him use an old HP6315.. that will be punishmnet enough.
Yea... he's young and prob. doesn’t know better. Guess he will learn the hard way ;)

(I would fire him if I was his boss…or at least severally reprimand him…)
I didnt get anyone fired.. He specifically posted he worked for Microsoft on Treonauts and QUsers.
Nice detective work... although you may have just gotten someone fired :(
Hmmm yeah pretty much huh over 4,500 people read this article though :)
Sure is quiet in here.
Hmmm...most interesting. I hope Cingular pulls a 'Verizon' and gets an exclusive on this. I hope Palm learned from the 700w. Funny how Palm can actually get a next gen device with 3G faster than HP can.

Anyways, it looks like a sweet device (nice and thin, and no stupid antennae nub). Hopefully this and the HTC Hermes (next gen Wizard) make using UMTS 3G a blast. :)
