Telstra's CEO has been left red-faced after a pickpocket stole a prototype mobile phone with unreleased Windows Mobile 6.5 Software at 3GSM Barcelona.
Telstra's controversial boss, Sol Trujillo has had a prototype phone stolen by a pickpocket, Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson at the Herald Sun is
reporting today.
Trujillo is currently in the Spanish city of Barcelona for 3GSM: Mobile World Congress, the world's largest mobile telecommunications expo/conference.
According to The Herald Sun, the phone was either an HTC Touch Pro 2 or a Touch Diamond 2, running as-yet-unreleased Windows Mobile 6.5 software.
Dudley-Nicholson also says that Trujillo carries as many as six phones at once, demonstrating that regardless of what you might think of the man and his regulation-busting policies, at least he walks the talk when he says that radiation from mobile phones isn't harmful to the human body.
Assuming the pickpocket knows what he/she has obtained, the theft could be a major problem for Microsoft, which is keeping Windows Mobile 6.5 under such tight wraps that not even journalists were allowed to try out prototype phones running it.
