CyberBank POZ X301: New Korean Pocket PC Phone
Earlier this week we heard about a Chinese CDMA Pocket PC Phone Edition with Bluetooth. Now comes news that Korean company Cyberbank will be releasing a CDMA Pocket PC Phone Edition with WiFi.
This device has a few other interesting aspects, like a sliding keypad, 160mb flash memory, camera with camcorder capability, removable battery and a MINI SD card slot. 8O As far as I know, this is the first device to use Mini SD cards. Here's the full spec list:
� Intel XScale PXA255 (Cotulla) 400MHz
� PocketPC 2003 Korean Edition
� 3.0" 18-bit (262,144 colours) 240x320 TFT-LCD Touchscreen
� CDMA2000 1x-EVDO / 1x RTT / IS95A/B @ 1800MHz PCS
� 160MB Flash Memory (128MB User Space, 32MB OS)
� 64MB RAM
� MiniSD Slot
� Integrated Wi-Fi (802.11b)
� IrDA (115.2kbps)
� USB (1.1)
� Integrated Camera: VGA (0.3MPixels)
� Integrated Camcorder: 176x144, 2.5 hours maximum
� Battery: Standard (1500mAh), Slim (1200mAh)
� Backup Battery: 43mAh (12 hours for full charge)
� Polyphony: Yamaha MA5 (64-poly)
� Dimensions (mm): 63.5 x 116 x 25 (Slim) 63.5 x 116 x 26 (Std.)
� Weight: 193g (Slim) 199g (Standard)
Apparently the keypad can handle letter input as well, which will make SMS and email much easier. Once again, this device is not available outside Korea. Hello...Sprint? Please? :deal:

It looks cool... But it's an inch thick?

It is nice looking and I like the sliding keypad for certain.
Kati has a good point about it being thick. It looks like it is one of those things we will have to test out in person and then make a decison about.
I wish it had a faster processor, that is one thing that would hold me back from purchasing it. I use Cingular and do not have any problems so since it is not gsm that is another draw back for me.
I am glad to see there is more designs coming into the market place

It looks like one PDA stacked on top of a PDA with a keyboard. 8O
I think the inch thickness may be a bit too prohibitive. I'd need to start carrying a manbag again. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the pics. It does look cool, but man looking at those pics with it on its side looks like a size comparison between two PPCs!
I wonder why they used miniSD. Is it more accepted than SD in other countries?

Enough already of these "bulky" Pocket PC phones! Where are the 4150 sized devices?

People are again misjudging size by the pics.
This machine has a 3 inch screen so it is smaller then it appears in pics becouse we measure it compared to the machines we own ourselves wich generally have a 3.5 or 3.8 inch screen.
Its smaller then your mind is leading you to believe.

That doesn't change the numerical stats that say it's as thick as my laptop...

I think the winner for me is still the CU928. Much rather have a thin Bluetooth PDA with SDIO then a thick Wifi PDA with no expandability.
