Default BenQ P50 Pictures

http://www.mobile01.com/newsdetail.php?id=1412

Looks like the much-anticipated BenQ P50 is slowly making its way to Korean markets. Mobile01.com has some sweet pictures of this really small Treo-like device.



No idea whether the article suggests an international release, as I can't read it. :| If any of our readers can read Korean or can find a translation that works (I tried one or two, but with no success), comment in the thread!

Update: As a reader accurately pointed out, this is a Taiwanese website. ops: A WorldLingo translation therefore works, although you manually need to change the source language to Chinese (Traditional) since the translator seems not to embed it in the URL. :|

Ohhhhhh.....feelin' the warm and fuzzies pclove: Please hurry to the U.S. little device!

The landscape modes indicates it runs WM2003 SE, which I can't say I already knew or not. Regardless, that's great.

It's in Chinese. Basiclly, the guy got this device just one or two days, he claims that the device is still up and running w/o freeze.
He doesn't state it 2003 SE or not.

Anyway, I don't see much useful information there but good pics.

I hope someone can compare this to iMate Jam. (Only Jam is lacking WiFi.)

I must say this is the sweetest looking phoneediton device so far. Can someone offer a translation?

This a Taiwan web site. NOT Korean.

ops: I'm such an idiot. Sorry, I've had a really long day. Would make sense, too, since BenQ is a Taiwanese company. Sigh. I've posted a link to a Chinese translation, which reads pretty well.

Mmm Spec wise it really looks good. This is a better device than the blue angel, on the surface at least. I wish is was coming to the UK.

Just to help with the translation, you want to select Chinese(Traditional) not Simplified. Taiwan uses Traditional, not simplified. You'll get a MUCH better translation that way.

dang flabbit! I've been hankering for an all in one device. For me, it seems to have come down to this or the IPAQ. And this seems smaller than the IPAQ and it has BT, which I need more than WiFi.

If this ever comes to America, it's sure to be a Treo killer!
