CU928 - New Chinese CDMA Pocket PC Phone
Now here's a device I want. A Pocket PC Phone Edition with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. For real! Oh, did I mention it's a CDMA 1xRTT device with Bluetooth? :drool:
The device is fairly standard outside that (PXA263 at 400MHz, 64MB RAM/ROM, integrated VGA camera). The interesting part is the services that are going to be bundled. "With powerful streaming media functions, it is the first operator-customized device to support China Unicom�s new U-Web mobile data service...Based on Windows Mobile 2003 software for Pocket PC, CU928 is the first device available to deliver the rich data content to customers taking advantage of Microsoft�s Media Player 9. This will enable customers to watch live TV programs, order videos and movies, and even check real time traffic conditions...Through Mobile Uni-Video, which will be launched soon, customers will be able to see the person they are talking to on the LCD screen of the CU928."
Of course, it's not available in North America. And, with our luck, it'll probably never be available here. :| We can hope, though.

Now that's nice. Notice it still has 4 programable button's beside the call send ones. That is one reason PPCPE always turned me off(gamer).

Man, that looks sweet. 8O But I've gotten used to the coolest devices only being available in Asia.
But if it does well, we may someday see something like this over here. I'm ever hopeful, but I'm not counting on it. :roll:

North America for being the center of the universe certainly is on the backburner when it comes to communication technologies. It is time to realize and admit that we truly are getting screwed by the Telcos, and will almost never get to where Europe of Asia is with their telecommunication. I think that smells like monopoly to me.

on http://www.pocketpcmedia.com you can also find a bunch of streaming tv en radio stations.
Furthermore you can watch various music videos and short movies.
A wifi connection is recommended, although it also works great through gprs..
