Ryan of Juss Press, whose project we just mentioned, took one very interesting picture at GadgetFest in San Diego: a new Hitachi PPC that might be coming out for the Sprint Vision network. Can you say camera, thumb keyboard, and 1xRTT all in one?
I don't know about you, but I'm drooling already. In my opinion, this trumps the Treo and the announced Tungsten W. By far. I'll keep you posted if I find any more details on this device.
Is there anymore information on this devise? I can't wait for a PPCPE to reach Sprint networks/users.
I did a bunch of web and news searches last night, but it's not so easy if you don't have a model number - Hitachi has a standard candy-bar style phone for Sprint Vision, and that dominates the results.
Hopefully we'll get more detail as the product nears the market...
Does it come with its own trailer to pull it behind you?

Yyyah, whatever. It is just vaporware as far as I am concerned. Hitachi just introduced their first Phone ever. It is for sprint. Everything I have read says nice phone poor user interface.
To go a step further, build in thumb keyboard is an awesome idea!! But hey could it be a little unobtrusive if not being used? Jonno mentioned Number keys. As I understand it PPCPE uses a touch dial interface so why would you need number keys?
This thing does seem scary big. I like my phones small!!! Which is why I am avoiding PPCPE as it is. I think we will see the Samsung i700 fairly soon after the beginning of the year and it looks beautiful AND has a build in camera and SDi/o. I just wish that PPCPEs that hav built in cameras could do video as well as still. I am ready for on the go video phoneing.

Why do they try and throw the kitchen sink into these things? I may be wrong (and I admit I am often wrong) but does anyone really see the benefit (notice I didn't say does anyone NEED) of having an integrated camera in these things? I would readily give up the integrated camera for smaller size and lower price.
