XScale.de Reviews F/S Loox 720
"After a branchenueblichen delay of approximately 3 weeks it is finally so far, Fujitsu Siemens with the distribution of the new top model the pockets LOOX row, the LOOX 720 , began. Reason of enough to take the equipment somewhat more exactly times under the magnifying glass. Does whether the vollmundigen promises of the manufacturer can be kept, clarify our detailed test? like always guarantees impartially and independently."
A funny translation to English aside, it's great to see more Loox 720 reviews hit the market. From the North American standpoint, we don't hear a lot about the unit. I still hope that F/S wakes up and actually sells it here, but I'm not holding my breath. :|

Remember that it is a VGA device, so the g. chip is loaded 4 times more. Also SPB Benchmark results are not (AFAIK) taking VGA into consideration. If think that 2700g chipset will really k1ck a$$.

I remember somebody mentioned that loox 720 is h4150 size. From this review, it is far bigger than even h2210, let alone h4150. It seems even smallest VGA devices are still too big.

2215 comparison
They're almost the same size, cept for the 2215's curves.
Solution: Pocket PC modding. Lets file down those corners, spraypaint it silver, and wash it in hot water until it's shrunk down to size.
wouldn't it be great if we could pick-n-choose parts...

No - I've not read a single review that said that.
