This review at Sphone.se should get your taste buds tingling. Unfortunately, it's in Swedish, though there is a quick attempt at a Swedish to English translation in the comments section somewhere near the bottom of the page. There are quite a few pictures, albeit a bit blurry. To jog your memory, the M600 features a Samsung S3C2440 400MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, quad-band GSM/GPRS support, Bluetooth, 802.11b Wi-Fi, a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash, a 2.8" QVGA (240 x 320) screen, an SDIO/MMC slot, and Windows Mobile 5.0. Enjoy!

November 11th seems to be the date of choice at the moment.

November 11th? Hey, I can wait! I just called T-Mobile, my carrier, and they told me that they will not be carrying any of the E-Ten products. Bummer.

In the USA? No, I don't believe there is.

2.8"? I just did a quick calculation, and if my calculations are correct, the screen is only slightly larger than a small Post-It note. Those things are 1.5"x2", and 2.5" diagonally.

Have you ever seen a JAM or K-JAM in person? 2.8" sounds small (and granted, it is to an extent), but it's surprisingly usable.

....and it is getting very difficult to find a Phone Edition device that is NOT 2.8". It's pretty popular. I've been using a 2.8" screen as a primary device for about a year and it is not a problem. Personally I think the best form factor for a Phone Edition device would be the 4150 Ipaq with a phone in it. Nice size, but with a 3.5" screen.

Plus, you can use the device in landscape mode. Handy when entering text and you need larger fonts.

I'm getting it!

Using it with the keyboard in landscape is a very big plus. The keyboard is much easier to use because of the larger size that the longer landscape orientation allows.
