This is a solid device and we absolutely loved the red backlit touch-controls mounted on the face. The QDA Icon is touted as the world's slimmest PDA phone with a 4 megapixel camera, and as such, it was given props with an Innovations honour at CES. The touchscreen QDA Icon is available in either dual-band GSM 900 / 1800 or 900 / 1900 versions, with the grunt delivered by a 200MHz OMAP730. Sadly, the only data options are Class 10 GPRS, Bluetooth 1.2 and USB -- no EDGE or HSDPA here."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20070321-qool.jpg" /><br /><br />The <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49620">QDA Icon isn't new</a>, but the QDA Glider most certainly is, and while it may not pack a lot of punch, you simply cannot say no to the design. Then again, it's an acquired taste, so you may have a different opinion. ;)

I'd like to see a dial pad on the bezel and of course a bigger screen.
