My last question is, when everyone keep saying this will come out this year, what time frame are we looking at, more like Christmas or summer?

1) MDA IV was switched on but behind a glass and showing only a presentation - video recording of this presentation is here:

(QuickTime player needed from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ to play it)

This presentation was in German and was showing various features of the phone.

2) MDA IV will be released in 2005 in Autum/Fall, what practically means around November 2005.

Kind of like how some versions of the Blue Angel come without a camera or Wi-Fi?

That's my thinking exactly. Time (and carriers) will tell, I suppose... *crosses fingers*

I love my Sprint 6601 A LOT, but would love to get my hands on this to try it out. Very curious to see what the true form factor really is.......
It looks a little big, as my 6601 is about as big as I will go for a cellphone........

[Don't Panic!]

If I'm going to give up my cellphone I want a device that's as big as a Pocket PC. IMO a Pocket PC should have a screen no smaller than a 3.5 inches but I prefer 3.8. Toshiba Sized PPCPE. I'd love it! Got to have dual slots man. I tried single slot (SD) for a few months and it just wasn't enough. Now should they put in a 5GB harddrive I could maybe live with a smaller screen and a single SD slot, but not a typical puny cellphone sized screen.
