Why, oh, why do they have to ruin this device with awesome specificatons with a 240�240 screen?  On the Palm 700w, it is, well, acceptable since they have the HW keyboard...<sarcasm> Just turn on the SIP any you have a whoppin' 240�120 screen estate... Let's hope WM5SE will include support for 160�160 screen resolutions </sarcasm>. Serously, they should have put in at least a normal QVGA screen (240�320)...

This is the kind of device I would consider for a two device solution (vs converged) Its going to be small and thin. I will use it to replace my 3G phone, and continue to use my VGA Loox PPC as my main PDA. I could also use the 4GB memory via USB Host and view movies over USB on my Loox. Due to the poor resolution its a poor PDA phone, but its a brilliant phone!

What's that at the top center, between the power button & the camera? Is it just the earpiece? It very strongly resembles the biometric fingerprint readers on all the new Tablet PCs...
Y'Know, I could deal with the 240x240 screen as long as I have FOUR GIGS of NAND to play with... Palm's Lifedrive was a good idea, but the only downside was, no phone...

...and it had microdrive instead of NAND, and it had Palm OS on it. Otherwise, it is a really cool device indeed

There is such a thing as to small. I don't see this device as having the entertainment potential that a QVGA or VGA Pocket PC has. Just looking at the d-pad I'm sure gaming is not goin to be possible on this device. If that d-pad supports diagonals I'd be very surprised. Probably be nice for solitaire though. :roll:

If they had included a landscape QVGA or VGA screen instead of the square screen I think they would have had a truely killer device. That 240 x 240 screen is just 'meh'
