What do analysts know about hardware? Nothing, if the Commercial Times’ report about the Palm Eos shipping in October turns out to be true. However, Rozwadowski wasn’t completely wrong because Compal will begin shipping CDMA versions of the Eos in Q1 of 2010, but the GSM version is still scheduled for this year.
Monthly orders for the Eos, which features a 2.6-inch multi-touch display and supports GSM/HSPA initially, will reach 400,000-500,000 units, which will help drive up Compal’s revenues starting in the fourth quarter, the paper said, adding Compal will also begin to ship a CDMA EV-DO version of the Eos to Palm in the first quarter of 2010.

Won’t matter if the Pre flops, which early sales indicate may be the case.
That thing looks pretty thin! Pretty nice looking too.
it’s a very old mock-up. don’t get your hopes up too soon.
Hmm, see I wouldn’t necessarily say the Pre flopped, my man up top. The fact that there is such a HUGE stigma about Sprint, many people won’t even give the device a look b/cuz of that. I guarantee when it opens up on other carriers (definitely coming to big V) sales will be another story. Sprint’s been losing customers for years now, what do you expect? Want to compare it to iPhone sales? Two totally different companies, as u have a mini Mac on hand for all the Apple fans, of course they would buy it.
Phone only as good as it’s network, and I’ve heard plenty of complaints about AT&Ts sh*tty service, so what the point of having a Ferrari with no steering wheel? Palm fans aren’t as huge as the Apple crowd, so give Pal, Pre, Eos (and whtever else devices) & webOS a chance to catch on around the world, on different carriers then speak on that. Ppl not even on AT&T (caough T-mobile crowd) bought it cuz it was the “it” phone and no competition. Times changes a little… we’ll see where this goes…
