High-Res Photo of Motorola MPx300
Pocketpcitalia manages to get photos of things that no one else can, and this is no exception: it's a photo of the Motorola MPx300 from the back, very clearly showing the keyboard. The screen was obviously digitally pasted in, but the hardware looks legitimate enough. Can you tell I'm excited about this device? :mrgreen:

Very interesting! The build-quality of the keyboard looks superb and very well thought out. I imagine that the two holes to the left of the screen are speaker holes, and not LCD's for BT and WiFi.
In fact, the more I see of this thing, the less I think BT and WiFi are going to be included. :cry:

Clamshell design for a PPC makes such perfect sense, it's a wonder that there aren't a plethora of offerings with that design. No compelling need for a screen protector, full keyboard, still a compact design. That's why I've skipped all the WM2003-based devices that are on the market now, and why I'm still using my iPAQ 1910, awaiting something that really is worth upgrading to. For me, wireless connectivity alone isn't worth an upgrade. Bigger screen with better resolution + thumb keyboard + still the small size of my 1910 + better battery life = new purchase for the vendor that can supply that device!

Anyone else notice the complete absence of the "Windows" and "Ok" buttons which were so interesting in the original pictures? I wonder which is the fake...

I hope the cellular quality is better than the MPx200.
I moved my AT&T MPx200 SIM to a Cingular Motorola V60i and was surprised by two things: 1) it worked, and 2) it worked MUCH better than the MPx200...I can use the phone in many places where the MPx would not work at all and the sound quality is MUCH better.
I've (unfortunately) given up on the MPx200.

A lot of thought has gone into this device, if you look you can see that the number pad is slightly angled so that you can see the numbers from both way, horizontally and vertically.
I don't think this is a fake - but I do think that there won't be a Microsoft OS on it because it is lacking the Windows key and the OK key as arbitrajeu pointed out.
I could be wrong indeed, but Motorola has definitely got the Pocket PC and Smartphone world in a hype - look at all there recently "spied" photos of their ever so cool and innovative phones!

Yes. People are just jumping on the bandwagon hype train. They're ignoring the fact that the "Windows" and "Ok" buttons are missing. Also if you look at the pic that shows those buttons you can clearly see they were photo-shopped in. Look closely they aren't even placed on top of the keys, half is on the button, the other half is hanging in space above the device. My bet is that this will run Linux. It could also be another fancy 2-way pager. Motorola probably leaked the shots with the PPC Os to gauge interest.

This is absolutely terrible! How on earth am I going to explain to my wife that I have to buy yet another Pocket PC? 
As to the Photoshopping....I'm quite certain there is a good amount of it. So What? I'm sure this device is in the early stages of development. The important thing here is the fact that someone is giving a device like this a serious shot at production!!!!
