Hi all!
Look what I saw:
http://www.bsquare.com/wireless/php.asp
Here is some specs of it:
--------------
BSQUARE’s new Power Handheld reference design is extremely light and compact, weighing approximately 280 grams (9.88 oz.) with battery, and measuring 140mm x 87mm x 19.6mm (5.5” x 3.4” x .77”). It features the Intel® XScale™ PXA250 processor running at up to 400MHz, 64MB RAM, and 32MB Flash memory. Additional storage is available via one SD memory card (up to 256MB).
The backlit four-inch color LCD (TFT) screen is capable of displaying 65k colors with VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) in landscape mode. Full VGA resolution allows users to view web pages, email attachments, spreadsheets, and other documents nearly a full page at a time. The slide-out (retractable) QWERTY thumb-type keyboard allows for easy input of text, while a touch-sensitive display allows for stylus input.
Other input and ergonomic features include two dedicated phone buttons (talk, end); three programmable launch buttons (email, web, start/today); four dedicated navigation buttons; five-way joystick; back/ESC button; one dedicated button for integrated 2x zoom capability; and an onboard microphone and headset microphone for audio input. The unit also incorporates a 2.5mm jack for an included accessory headset with microphone, volume, and on/off control for phone or stereo music.
An integrated dual-band GSM cell phone allows for speakerphone or headset operation, and supports advanced phone features normally found only on multi-line desktop phones. The GPRS (2.5G) Multislot 8, Class B module sends and receives wireless data across mobile telephone networks to provide worldwide remote connectivity. The integrated rechargeable Lithium Ion battery has approximately 1900mAh of capacity for hours of continuous web browsing.
--------------------
If I had to pick between P800 and this monster, I'll definately not get the P800, even I am big fan of it... this thing seems just wonderful!!!!!!
What do you think?

How on earth is 280 grams light? Do they think we're in the 1970's? Way too heavy for me, and i'm a bodybuilder. And anyway, it won't fit in your pocket - it's certainly not a mobile phone.

Hi!
Yes, it is heavy... like Nokia 9210... indeed it is more Pocket PC than Smartphone. But for example, the only reason I am getting P800 but not Pocket PC is that I cannot make/receive calls from Pocket PC.
Anyway, it's about one's personal demands...
P800 rocks anyway... but if I could do the choise, I'd pick the other thing probably... bigger display, BETTER display, better battery life (or at least supposed so), for sure better software support, more memory, better multimedia features...

why does everyone insist on comparing every new/concept phone with the P800. We might as well compare it to the new Apple Powerbook...... |

Because it's the most advanced/functional phone available at the present time. Just a guess... |

I am extremely satisflied with my P800. I know eventually something even better will come out. But I think the P800 will be the benchmark for all phones for at least another year. These souped up PDAs ae cool, but they are not phones. If I wanted a bad ass handheld I probably would get a high end Windows CE device. The first generation of Windows phones do not look so good. But, eventually, Windows phones will prbably be pretty good. Not this year! |

The main problem with PDAs that want to be phones, is that they all look alike! I don't care who makes them... if they're running Microsoft & Intel... there's nothing to distinguish one from the other... they think it's like the PC market... they think customers WANT communcators that look like everything else out there.
Running microsoft restricts form factor design... first of all, all of these M$ machines have to run 320x240 screens. That's fine, if all you want is PDA functionality. But what if all you want is a small phone with MMS? The 6100 does that just fine, and doesn't look like a picture frame with an antenna! Want some PDA functionality & a camera? The P800 does the job at 2/3 the size w/ 3x the battery life of the BEST PDAs on the market.
Take a look at all the M$ products out there... all the ones running Smartphone 2002 look the same, regardless of who makes them. All those running PocketPC look the same as well. There's only ONE, and I really mean only ONE manufacturer running M$ that actually stands out... Neonode. But everyone else has the same form factor. This is M$ tactic so that the consumer won't be 'loyal' to the manufacturer, instead, will be loyal to M$. |

It's not like there's no MS PPC phones around. Look at the O2 and the HP Ipaq 5450, and this won't look as innovative as you think. (hint: just landscape screen with addn keyboards) |
