estimated price is about 500$ not much, but i don't like it, i don't look the design, and what about the softwear windows ce. i'll stick to my P800 when i finally have it.
i think the neonode wont have MMS and i wonder what kind of battery it has?

More info:

Swedish firm Neonode put out a press release today talking about their new N1 mobile device. It is a phone type device with a built-in camera, but with the added bonus of having a touch-screen. It is based on MS Windows CE with a proprietary program running as the main interface.
More information will be posted here as it is discovered.
Some features:
Dimensions: 88mm x 52mm x 21mm
Running Windows CE (PocketPC 2002?) with "Neoshell" running on top
176x220 touch-screen display (260k color?)
16Mb RAM, SD Slot for expansion
Built-in VGA camera
Internal speaker with audio out jack
Should include the following software: MP3 player, Video player, Web Browser, Email, Address Book, Notepad, Photo Software, and others. Presumably the standard PocketPC 2002 software with custom programs.
I have twice been told that this device supports 260k colors on the display. This would be a 18bit color display, something I have never heard of before. I have my doubts. Additionally, I have been told that it should be available in February 2003 and will cost around 5000 SEK ($500€). This is 100% unconfirmed information at this time.

If it runs on Pocket PC Phone Edition it may be OK...thats what the XDA uses.
Does it have Bluetooth though? |

In my opinion this is how all mobile phones in the future should be. The keypad just wastes space in a cell-phone. it is just amazing, beautiful concept (and design I would say). My only problem is that I am not familiar with this firm so I don't if could find proper support to other countries. But apart from that it looks an amazing phone! |

In an interview with Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Magnus Goertz (one of the founders of Neonode) says Neonode will be one of the third biggest mobile manufactures at year 2007.... that's five years from now... will they succeed?
He also says Neonode count on sellin around 200000 phones in Europe next year, and at christmas time next year their 3G phone will be released.
For those who can read swedish, here is the article |

I have to say I don't fancy the way it looks, not conventional enough for me I guess. It kinda looks like a Tamagotchi (sp)... The size is good though. But I'm more into Symbian devices.
NOTE: I'm not instantly hating it though, like most people are here when it comes to new Nokia devices  |

I think he is ridiculously confident. That can be dangerous. Otherwise I seriously admire those guys. |

N1 is all I've ever wanted. I want it so badly.
MS Windows CE is a big annoyance though. I hope dedicated fanatics will device a method to run an embedded version of linux on it. I don't mind dropping neoshell in favor of embedded gtk-based something. |

18-bit screen is new tech...developed by Sony... go to Palminfocenter.com and look it up.
Neonode, that's a phone I'd get...It looks like something the old designers from Ericsson would have made. (Who knows, it is from Sweden!)
I don't like the MS OS in it...they should've used Symbian. Oh well... we'll see...
If the final version will have ALL the features of the T68i (3-band, BT, voice functions, calendar, addressbook, e-mail, etc...), mp3/mpeg4, and web/wap capabilities... this will be my next phone...sorry P800... too little...and WAY too late.
an 18-bit screen kicks the hell out of EVERY colored phone AND pda out on the market today. |
