I don't know. Data input is the biggest down fall for my SMT5600. If this guy isn't as big as a Phone Edition it could be a decent product.

Even if it means shipping it with a 1-hr battery? :devilboy:
Half an inch thick?
Nice engineering...

Me, I'd rather see a portrait VGA screen and no pad below, numeric *or* qwerty. And PPC Phone edition, of course.

Even if it does actually get produced, and I'm as sceptical as some others here, I wonder how fast the carriers that supported the MPX220 are going to jump on this :roll:

Exactly. Remember, this device is less than a half-inch thick. That's pretty darn thin. :P

It does look like the RAZR team designed this, which holds out hope for reliability.

If it has the rumoured Blackberry email functionality, the full QWERTY keyboard is a must have.

Holy cr@p batman!

Check out the pictures on mobile burn of the size of the unit.
They compare it to a blackberry and a V3..


Nice closeup of the unit as well..
