From a purported intimate Cingular memorandum last hebdomad :
As you might require , both Blue and Orange [ AT&T Wireless and Cingular – ed . ] were employ in genus Beta testing the Treo 650 prior to the merger . We have moved these two efforts in parallel and Blue and Orange are now on parallel tracks regarding tech . acceptance .
Unlike the Sprint PCS CDMA 1X machine , which used an existent , well - tried technology , the Cingular Treo 650 will be the first EDGE - capable unit . Since we incorporated a engineering jump into the gadget exploitation , it took longer to test and verify on two networks ( Blue and Orange ) at once .
We are now at the point where we believe we have a candidate build that can get us to expert acceptance . If we can TA the gimmick by mid - January , we have a bun in the oven to establish by the end of January . This is not yet certain , but it is looking increasingly likely .
Please keep your heart out for an prescribed communication on launch schedules , etc . next week .
