The specs sheet doesn't say it, but it's a 3G phone. Unfortunately, I can't give out the list of bands just yet, though I may be able to in a few hours.

I've become disillusioned with claims of great GPU chips in new PDA's. The Dell Axims had that advanced GPU that was supposed to be the next great thing and hardly anybody wrote anything to take advantage of the chip.
First - I am pleased to see this. OK I am VERY pleased to see this. As one of the daily moaners about the lack of VGA options these days, this shows there is hope for me yet ...
But let's see what's missing, at least on first glance:-
No BlueTooth?
Is if Quad band or not?
Keyboard? - I have to admit that as I use my PDA more and more, and my phone too, I really do feel the need for a keyboard. I love the slide-out keyboard of the Wizard ... I hate the keyboards on the Blackberry clones, as they take up all the space that should be devoted to a nice VGA screen ... ;-)
What about slots? I'm going to want to be able to hook up to a GPS solution, and if there is no Bluetooth, then it needs to be a plug in device.
Still - maybe some of my fears will be addressed tomorrow :-)
It is true, I held it in my hands and played with it :P

:mrgreen: aaahhh! you held it :cry: ! Ok, Ok! I am cooling down. Tell us if it is quad band in which case i don't mind importing it. I believe it is available in 1Q 2007! Why not for Christmas?
Could you post some pictures Dinar? Please!

Ok, I'll visit them again tomorrow
- I'll take as much photos as I can
- I'll get all the details you want to know about it
- I'll confirm the release date (bu I know it's Q1-2007)
BTW: My name is not Dinar, I'm just a member of DinarSoft's team
And with a power-hungry 3.6" VGA screen, fast CPU, and a GPU to support as well, the battery life is going to be maybe four hours? Six with the optional extended battery?
Umm, wow. I haven't felt the need to post on a device in ages but this one looks so sweet.
Steve, I can't imagine they would make a device this loaded and not put BT in it. Just a guess, of course.
Now that I have a PPC-6700 and a built in keyboard, I find that I don't really use it much. I care much more about having a big VGA screen which, with a full screen keyboard, works great for me.
So my two big questions are whether it will ever be available for Sprint (doubt it), and how big is the battery? I still miss my 4700's massive standard battery.

This is an O2 Asia-Pacific release, so it's unlikely you'll see this in the States, especially through one of the carriers. You'll probably have to stick to importing - from Australia, New Zealand, or Singapore, if you want to be safe about getting an English version.

That's a very interesting device indeed. Hopefully this will be the device to break the ice for other developers to follow with similar enhancements. Interestingly enough, for myself - I find the 2GB ROM, USB On-The-Go, and TV-Out capabilities to be the most useful. But like another poster said above, I'm not sure how much the NVIDIA GoForce 5500 GPU would be of any use if hardly any developers take advantage of it. It may very well pull up the price without offering much benefit.
Also, as SteveHoward said above too, I would prefer something with a keyboard. Looking at the size of the device compared to the photographer's hand, it seems significantly larger than your standard 2005-2006 PPC Phone so adding a slide-out keyboard may make the device more usable for some. I'm actually thinking how nice it would be if it had the HTC Universal (JasJar) design. Couple that with a bluetooth headset and you have a powerful solution.
