came from the mobile pilipinas 2004 convention in my country and this unnamed PPC phone ed unit was featured. any take on what ithis is supposed to be? its still OEM. rumor has it that its an MMX processor phone ed.

its also swivel screen like the Sony NR clies.

I remember reading something about a swivel screen PPC Phone Edition a while back. I can't find the site I read it on, but I think it said that the phone wasn't being produced yet and if it were to be produced, it would only be released in Asia.

Talk about cool, though. To me, that's the downside to the MPx. You can't ever use the screen without the keyboard open. If the screen swiveled back to cover the keyboard, I might consider it. I like opperating my PPC with one hand and that might prove dificult with the MPx.

Let us know if you hear any further developments with this device. :mrgreen:

the unit resembles one of the Samsung camera phones we have here in the philippines.

none of us could believe it when we saw it. it really was running on Windows Mobile. the screen's brightness resembles that of an IPAQ but the size comes close to an eten P300.

It's the Lenovo Pocket PC phone (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26193), which we posted on a few months ago. 8) I don't know if they changed the processor inside it, or if the MMX bit is just pure speculation.

Ah ha! Thank you! I knew I'd seen it before! For some reason, though, I thought it was on a different site. Now I can sleep tonight. :mrgreen:
