Looks like I got burned with a host of other blogs on the rumor of the Treo 800p a couple of days ago. Ishould have known the 3.2 megapixel camera was too good to be true!

There was a recent rumor originating from TreoCentral about a Treo 800p smartphone. The 800p, ostensibly shown off in a hotel lobby bar to the user who reported it, was supposed to be thinner than the existing Treos, 128 MB of RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, EVDO, and with a 3.2 megapixel camera. Now, if your Falsity Alarms didn’t start going off when we hit the phrase "hotel lobby bar," they should be now. There is no realistic way that the device described existed, much less that it would be available on March 15th as reported.
Today, logical assumptions were backed up by a withering rant from the person who made the original post, clarifying that it was intended as a parody of the dozens of other wild and unsubstantiated rumors flying about, and that it was not a serious report. He went on to add that he was horrified by the number of people who took it at face value. This admonition was immediately followed by a large number of messages whose contents could be best summarized as "You suck, liar." The incident also earned the user a one week ban from posting in the forums at TreoCentral.
