What is with these HW companies.
EDGE at least.
and surely this device deserves full WM5 not the crippled phone edition?
All the rest of the specs look really good.
However, I'll bet there is no A2DP, and they will use a proprietary headset connection.
Hardware manufacturers take NOTES:
Minimum features for a GSM WM5 mobile device.
1. tri-band GSM with GPRS/Edge(at least)
2. Bluetooth any flavour with A2DP and AVRCP profiles.
3. Wireless (any flavour)
4. GPS
5. NO NON STANDARD CONNECTORS - for anything! Headphones
6. 400MHz CPU (at least)
7. Big battery
8. SD or mini SD minimum - NOT MICRO.
9. FM radio
10. Keyboard (not essential but very nice to have)
Every - that is EVERY - device I have studied lately (I'm ready to purchase the moment I find the one!) has a subset of the above features but they always fall down on at least one of the above points.
I hereby challenge ALL hardware manufactureres to achive all the above features in one device. I've got the cash ready to go..
ETEN nearly got my dollars with the M500 but they left out wireless.
If the Atom or Eten E600 had built in GPS they would be perfect.
The HTC's are too slow (and also no GPS).
I'm a consumer and I do not want to compromise nor do I want to carry around half a dozen devices.
Gigabyte are getting there but I need to see these things in Australia.
