If real (and we really have no basis to form an opinion one way or another on this), it's shaping up to be a hot handset, rocking a full keyboard, 128MB of ROM, 64MB of RAM, 802.11g, Bluetooth with A2DP, miniSD expansion, a 2-megapixel shooter, and a landscape-mounted QVGA display, all in an attractive, thin (looking) shell."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20060918-Zenum-opus-operis-1.jpg" /><br /><br />Engadget Mobile has the beans on what has to be the most unique Pocket PC I've <i>ever</i> seen, and at first glance, it looks really very slim and eye-catching. However, I'm not sure how slim it <i>actually</i> is; have you noticed every shot is at an extreme angle? Additionally, that keyboard looks... suspiciously difficult to type on. Finally, the unit doesn't support GSM 850 nor EDGE, so this won't be practical in North America. Still, it's got catchy looks, and I'm glad to see more deviation from the standard Pocket PC layout. Time will tell how good this unit is -- November is the speculated release date. Alas, <a href="http://www.zenum.ch/">Zenum's own site</a> has no additional information yet.
