I was at the pda store today here in Taiwan and I saw one on display. First thing that came to my mind was that it was kind of too wide and thick for a ppc but it was a bit shorter though in length. Played with it and tried out the flip thingy. Sorry but this thing is not built well at all. The device feels very cheap and has a plastic feel to it. Not a solid ppc at all. The buttons on the side were very cheap as well and didnt feel solid. It looks like the flip part is aluminum but its actually plastic if I remember. When you flip the dial pad it feels very flimsy and has some play as well. Maybe the device was used but it still shouldnt be that bad. The pen was very huge and was placed in a weird slit next to the phone like the XDA II. The dial pad feels alright but if you want to delete a number you would have to use the cancel button on the screen instead of the pad. Took out the pen, "wow" I never seen a pen that big before, maybe because it goes well with the pda size. My friend works there and the second I asked to check it out he told me dont bother with it, you cant compare it with your XDA II. In Taiwan there is alot of pda/phones on the market made by Taiwanese companies so its kind of interesting to see what type of devices would pop up next. I asked if people actually would buy this thing he said there is quite of few people who have purchased it. The price is NT 19000 which is US$ 560
If you guys are really interested in this device I can take pictures if you want. If you ask me what I think of this ppc, its pretty bad compared to other ppc's out there when it comes to build quality. My 2 cents.
