More iPAQ 5000 pics
http://infosync.no/news/2002/n/2317.html
I don't think there is much new there except maybe info on CDMA support, but it is all summarized in one place and the images show the three different iterations of the 5000. Source: Orion.
Update: There are more pics at MicrosoftMobiles.com of the iPAQ 5000 that explains which device is which. The 802.11b model is no problem for me, but I am not sure the CDMA/GSM versions will fit in my mobile pants unless that antenna is retractable.  Source for additional links: JPZR.

Integrated GPS sounds nice, but without some sort of integrated wireless conectivity there doesn't seem much point. Hopefully Tosh is watching and will soon annouce a successor to the e740 with bluetooth, wi-fi and GPD

I wonder if that's accurate - the 1XRTT model doesn't have the biometric security, and the rest do. Seems a bit odd...

I have a feeling that there are a few more options than what we are seeing.
The key features that can be sold as parts of various packages will be:
GSM/GPRS or CDMA (and it's "highspeed" data),
Biometric scanner,
Bluetooth, WiFi, or GPS,
64 or 128 MB RAM.
I believe that they will market devices with a selection of these features. So a consumer could buy a GSM, BioScan, Bluetooth, 128 iPaq, or a CDMA, WiFi, 64 MB unit, etc.
So there are 3*2*4*2 or 48 options.
Probably not, but it is fun to imagine.

one or the other?
I hope users won't have to give up WiFi and BT to get GPRS/GSM functionality.

Love that look
8O
I've got to laugh at all the people who suggested that the earlier posts where only prototypes. It looks more and more like the real thing. Damned ugly. Obviously not enough of the Jornada survived the merger.
Great innards - shame about the face.
It really doesn't look like the antennae are retractable. I wonder how easily they break.

why ? why ? why ?
i always want to ask this. why they always build handphone with the antenna protruded or bulging outward ? why handphone like Nokia can produce a working and nice handphone without the protruded antenna ?
this is why i love my Nokia handphone and hate Motorolla !

If only Sprint PCS doesn't mess it up ...
This looks great to me. Now if only Sprint PCS can straighten out their high speed CDMA network, I'll be happy ...
Hopefully cheaper than that $800 Toshiba PPC Phone, too.
