Date on this box could be RELEASE time-frame

Could the date on the shipping box gives clue as to the RELEASE DATE time frame? See the link below.

link doesn't work

**Teso Dos Bichos** · 02/26/2009, 07:58 PM

It works for me but far be it for you to simply go to the main page of the link...

To save everyone the effort it is a blog article about the Dan Hesse interview. The associated picture is a poorly photoshopped (it looks so bad it might actually be Paint) image of a box with the Palm logo and an 'Urgent, Ship by June 09' sticker on it. In short nothing to see here and possibly a bit of spam to get hits for the aforementioned blog.

Well seeing as both palm and sprint have said the pre will be released in the first half of 09, I would say the June 09 date on that box fits in that time frame.

It's not a fraudulently doctored photo, it's not real, it's not an attempt to mislead. It's a rather obvious intentionally made up photo illustration to accompany an article.

The box also has a "sticker" saying it contains a million phones fer chrise sake. It's a mock up, a graphic illustration, to illustrate copy in the article. Geez.

Spam? Yeah I guess.

Just another opinion but at least he's thinking June. Now if you want a palm fanboy that would be Andrew over on his site that wrote that

I think he's getting paranoid it might go past June.

Uh oh - I found the original picture. I'm certain this must be true!

**udratherbme** · 02/27/2009, 08:05 AM

WTF

**dmefoc** · 02/27/2009, 08:25 AM

wow, hello!!!!! it has NOTHING to do with Palm, OR the ship dates on the phone. Its all about shipping BEFORE the first half of 09 is over. DRRRRRRR

haha .. to funny. This is what point we are out??

If you guys don't visit treonauts it's a really cool little blog site. It started when the 650 came out (to the best of my knowledge). They have some good articles and lot sof reviews.

I belive one of the authors is a member here.

It's my finest photoshop work ... err .. I mean it's absolutely true because I read it on the internet.

**Captweez** · 02/27/2009, 09:56 PM

Actually I have got an exclusive photo of the REAL unedited Pre box.

Obviously there has been more confusion.
