Where should be the camera ?! The back is empty!
Posted by Aware
Camera should be under a slide-down portion of the silver panel on the back; check the website, you'll see.......
.......and no wonder it reminds everyone of the Black Diamond........another Jaren Goh special........
Posted by axxxr
Here's the camera.

Jaren Goh's trademark design technique is easily recognisable!

Why is megapixel written on top of the phone? Looks kinda cheap.

masseur since your into Pocket PC phones whats your verdict on this?
Posted by masseur
well, this is more like it. I've been saying lately that I'm hooked on my M600 although I still use my TyTN just as much, but also I've been saying that I would be swayed away again from M600 if a windows mobile device came available in the same form factor
This does look good bt the specs aren't really there yet.
Here is some latest news and pics from Pocket PC Italia (translated) and a PDF press release from yesterday

I'm not a pocket PC man but i'd buy that just for the design alone!

Hands-on Exclusive

that is one...bleedin' amazing design! take it it's gonna be kinda pricey though? i love the palm os
so yeh...would love the new treo 680...i suppose it's kinda pointless though as it's pretty much the same as the 650 - but that is one beauty. the m600i looks wonderful too. i'm not too sure myself about the blackdiamond, it just...doesn't look right to me...

I like it more than Black Dimond. Yet i would realy like to know the price and the release date...
Posted by axxxr
not sure of the price yet,but release date is down as early 2007.
Posted by Residentevil
A very pretty phone, that would be really good if they put some current technology inside.
Posted by axxxr
yeh they can start by taking out Windows Mobile!
Posted by xan K

Well specs dont look to be final, however they better get rid of the 200mhz cpu and go for the 310mhz Samsung cpu or bump up to 400Mhz if they want consumers not to complain about WiFi not being smooth - just from what I've seen other PPC-PE devices. Furthermore it looks to be just that and not a smartphone.
Right now I'd love the buy the HTC S620 or the Samsung SGH-i600 (the latter just maybe for the wife). But I think that you & I may be happy with the HTC Cavelier when it gets released. Windows Mobile 5 is just so powerful and customizable that there is no way I'm looking at Palm OS. UIQ3 needs a more compelling device for my tastes.

i really want something with design and functions at the same time...
Opus is a good one. any news or new photos? may be the price?
Posted by ori
I don’t know why but I’m very exited about this project. I am in product design sphere, and do understand how hard it is to design a good smartphone or a communicator. That’s why I overstate a little bit the design of Opus Operis, actually it is the only designer’s smart phone available. Every time I stay in a traffic jam or use a metro to get somewhere iimagine how it would be great to have lots of functions like games or e-books on my phone and at the same time has phone with great design.

They have just killed one of the greatest designs...
new - updated opus
Posted by axxxr
Oh no thats not nice at all.
Talk about ruining a beautiful design!
and whats going on with the plastic flip cover thing?...I bet Jaren Goh won't be happy about this!
Posted by amnesia
looks to me they just made the buttons thicker and added a screen thing
Posted by ori
This is how it was
white center button, plane and bigger main keyboard, plastic window, new font on the keyboard... not so much but enough to ruin the atmosphere...
