Hey Duncan, I didn't know you were here too. Remember me from the Loox?
Too bad. I want to replace my Tilt so badly.

(The Qualcomm patent issue seems to be the same one that has just caused the iPAQ 610 release to be cancelled in the US.)

Don't get here as much as I used to.

I do believe the 9502 will be my next PPC, and have thought so for a while, so I feel your pain.

So why did this issue not affect the HTC devices using the MSM7200? Did they sneak out before the court ruling?

maybe nobody care about QVGA! QVGA is so yesterday! who cares!

Hopefully they add support for Tmobile's 1700 3G band by the time they release in the US. The 9502 will be a good replacement for my Artemis.

Hmm what a great device... i will be dumping my x800 (full) of problems and trying this out. How will we be able to unlock it so it can be used on another network... It needs a $39 5G+ data cap which we wont be able to get with T.

See my i-mate article ( http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/inde..._on_i-mate.htm ): "Australian Telstra, which will be the first mobile operator to offer the new models (particularly the 9502), has just announced that the earliest date the 9502 becomes available is the 24th of March, but even that isn't confirmed yet (that is, it can slip further). See http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6&postcount=17 for more info"
