Yes - it does mean Phone Edition. Someone who attended an FSC briefing recently tells me that tri-wireless was mentioned (but as the briefing wasn't in his first language he can't be certain it wasn't 'tri-band' that was meant...!).

Indeed! I strongly suspect that FSC will go down the tri-wireless route - though I doubt whether it is anything more than an intention as yet...

I've never doubted that this is the case. Fujitsu's announcement did suprise me somewhat but the fact that they didn't release a version of the 400 series (having done so for the 600 and 610) might well indicate that Fujitsu are diverging from their European cousins (or would FSC be their child by Siemens? ). That I have the 710/720 datasheet right in front of me, and it has the picture we've had for a while (as opposed to something looking like the Asus a730) - as well as very diferent specs, made it seem very unlikely that the v70 and 720 could be the same.

In the end Fujitsu Pac-Asia and FSC are effectively different companies and I'm sure it has never been more than a matter of convenience to use the same models (as FSC did when they marketed the Siemens/Casio collaboration the SX 45/55 Pocket PC).
