Default ORSiO n725 Sighting - With Details!

http://www.msmobilenews.com/page/1436/

"As if by magic, here are the latest WORLD EXCLUSIVE pictures/photos of the ORSiO n725! I've repeated the recent specifications we were given by our anonymous source for your reference too."



MSMobileNews has some interesting information on this new device. Sporting a beefier processor than most, lots of memory, WiFi, Bluetooth, & FM Radio, what's not to like?

I must admit that these are some awsome specifications. But can ayone answer this question for me: "Is the I-Mate JasJar the only WM5 device that does not have the (in my opinion, rediculusly small) 2.8" display? I mean c'mon will ayone else release a WM5 phone edition device with a display >2.8"? I cant wait till I can afford that JasJar, untill then I will continue complaining. And what about the unlocked CDMA phones (that may be asking too much)?
Please enlighten me if I am missing something people, but 2.8" displays just seem too small.

No Windows (hard) soft keys. No OK hard button. Strange key setup.

List of "Not to like":

1) Mini SD :evil:
2) 2,7" screen, my eyes are too old for that 8O
3) CMOS camera??? Why go for the worst there is? CCD's are not that expencive anny more.

List of "Do like":

1) CPU: Intel Bulverde 524 MHz, finally a WiFi equipped phone, with a decent CPU 8)
2) KJAVA( CLDC 1.1/MIDP2.0) supported
3) MPEG4 Encode/Decode.

Owerall: Nice 8)

BTW, why settle for "anonymous source", when you can go to the producers homepage, for the full description 8O

Where's the keyboard? I've gotten spoiled with integrated keyboard. Life is so much easier with one

For almost same size as MDA with no keyboard, I can't do it.

Looks a bit too similar to the hp iPAQ rw6828, I wonder who manufactures these [maybe Quanta as well]? Also the website shows it will be running WM5 AKU 2.x Russian, I wonder if English is planned or this would be for Russian markets only. They have more than the normal goodies in the box though including a screen protector and handstrap which is very thoughtful of them, as well as other bundled apps

Having used (well, still using) a Pocket PC without dedicated soft keys, I agree that the lack of soft keys is a real killer. You can always re-assign, in this case, the Windows and the Messaging buttons, but then that's two less buttons available for other purposes. Tapping the screen is no fun at all, because there's no tactile feedback. What's with this 2003 design? :| Windows Mobile 5.0 is here to stay.

Great specs, otherwise.

On the bright side, it's not microSD. That would be a lot worse.
