I know axxxr has posted some info about the 501 in the past, but the 401 is going for only £209.95 from Expansys.
Some info:
I'm wary of relatively unknown makes, but this non-3G Windows 5.0 smartphone has some interesting features.
Firstly, like the O2 Stealth, it's a Windows 5.0 slider with conventional keypad, as opposed to the qwerty's of some of the others. It is a bit bulky, but is still 2mm less in girth than the P990i, as well as being shorter (109mm compared to the P990i's 114mm) and narrower (53.5mm compared to the P990i's 57mm).
It has wi-fi and Bluetooth, A2DP, FM radio and an in-built TV tuner. (The TV's antennae is in the headset, with the FM radio's.)
The camera is a 2mp with flash, but there is no mention of auto focus. It comes supplied with a 256MB mini SD card.
Included in the package is a handy 3.5mm audio jack adapter.
Also has direct push email.
The processor is an impressive Intel 416 Mhz.
The standard battery might be a weak point though, at 840mAh, but a 1300 mAh is available for about £13 extra.

I wonder how difficult it would be to get GPRS settings for this smartphone from the networks...
Any comments/ ideas?

I almost bought this for a friend of mine few weeks ago, but when I looked at the battery 840?? My current PDA has almost 1500 and It hardly lasts a day but good to know that 1300mah is also available.
It's a really good device for its price.

Seems to have its fair share of problems, and perhaps explains why they are selling so much cheaper than the rests of Expansys's Windowsmobile line-up:

i think wm5 has its fair share of problems but the way this device was made makes working with our buggy uiq3 p990 look like a stroll in the park |

Yeah, it would seem so, unfortunately...
