Well you never know, but I think the general form factor is probably pretty fixed. Being a prototype unit you never know, but I'd be surprised if this late in the game more than a mm or two was changed. It will at least be a proper screen, though.

To be honest I'm a little disappointed at the size, but that's only length - it looks noticably longer but also noticably narrower than the HP/Treo competition. There's a lot more in there though.

With it's alleged release in the US too, if it's released properly it'll be interesting to see if it does better than it's shorter but fatter, and less well equipped competition.

Given the size of the device, there is ever more reason to put bigger and higher resolution screen in the device.
It would be a really interesting machine with 480x480 screen...

This is one ugly phone. It reminds me of Benq P50's design, especialy those ugly buttons. I just got Cingular's version of the Wizard and very impressed with it so far.

Yep, for my money, they'll have a hard time beating the Wizard's form factor. My K-JAM is about the best Pocket PC I've ever used. All three of these are huge in comparison. The days of stardard-sized PDAs are over (at least for me).

In fact, there are only 2 things that would make the K-Jam better: True 3G and VGA. Though the VGA would be a rather mixed blessing on a screen that sized...
