As you read here prior about the rumored Treo 670 I am starting to see an inconsistancy in the back of the unit and some internal questions which just dont make any sense?

First you will see in video 2 the back of the unit is silver. But if you look at the photo from the source it has now turned green?

If the Treo design has a center button (it´s like ok button) why they add an extra OK button?

Why the HD677 id wasn't covered up in the first place and remains still visible but the person uses a black magic marker?

I dont see any 1rxtt connection or EVDO in the signal on the top of the unit?

Personally, I will wait for the HTC Wizard to make its debut. If FCC approval has anything to do with time to market, then the Wizard will be out quite sometime before the Treo ever makes its debut. In addition, the idea of using a PPC device in all of its capacity on a screen that is smaller than 2.8" is just not even conceivable to me. I mean talk about scrolling to infinity, more time will be spent scrolling than doing anything else with this and the hw6515 (Apologies in advance to hw6xxx fans).

Anyway, that's my $.02.

Also I just talked to the source. The green backing it the actual battery cover.. Since its a proto it basically wasnt on in the video.

Thanks Arne for the clarification.

This isn't too abnormal for Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC with keyboards.
Also the HTC Universal has this extra OK button (see here: http://www.theunwired.net/photo/index.php?gallery=./Gadgets/Pocket%20PCs/HTC%20Universal&image=DSCN3377.JPG)and the behavior between the center button and the OK button is different (means it makes sense to have a seperate OK button).

Also there is a skin going around in the Palm world that is identical to WM5..

Yea, I noticed the HD677 thing was kinda strange too. Also, I did a search at the FCC site and the most recent application that Palm (Palm One, etc..) has is the Treo 650. You would think that if this device was so close to production it would already have its FCC application in and granted, you know that little thing that they absolutely must have to legally sell the device in the US. At the same time, this is a lot of trouble to go through in order to fake it.
