That could be more an Achilles heel than the Telltale Heart. Even a PPC needs a Dpad (from my experience with Cingular 8125). A touch screen alone isn't going to get the job done.

It will have 5 way jog bar. Similar to the Dash/Excalibur, but will be 5 way instead of just up/down.

I don't like where they put the space bar! :?

As others have mentioned, I don't care for the thickness of the device. My i320 is about as big as I want to go.

It is very much like my 8525 as far as thickness. No matter, if they build it I will buy it and have it and use it. :mrgreen:

Ok guys - the device in the first post is not the VOX but the HTC Libra. The HTC Libra is - so far I know - indeed a Pocket PC Device.

The HTC VOX (aka HTC S710) is looking like this:


And this is a Smartphone Device.

I can't imagine it wouldn't with that keyboard.
