But if that isn't enough for you, be sure to check out the 9502, which will appear on the front-page in just a moment!

Sorry man, i dont agree, it looks pretty good to me.. besides i'm not getting a hight end PDA phone for its looks, features & practicality are far more important for me..
I have been praying for a vertical screen layout with a keyboard with decent spec for a long time now & the Ultimate 8502 sure delivers that..
Good job imate, keep it up

I also think it looks ugly, but the real thing could look better, so I will see. But, in the worst case, I don't think 8502 will earn the UPoY award thanks to 9502. :wink:

If you had the 8502 in your hand, like I am having now..you wouldn't say it's ugly! It feels very good, the keys look very bad, but is in fact very good to use!

Well if you are holding one can you answer a few quick questions?
1) is the USB a standard mini-USB connector?
2) is the 2.5mm jack a stereo headset + mic connector so you could also use your standard cheapy cell phone hands-free as well as a stereo hands-free? This is great for emergencies, not that I personally ever lose/break these thing 
3) is the mico SD slot SDHC?
If yes to all of the above I am buying one. This is even better that the iPaq 914C I have been waiting for.

I also think it looks great. I just wonder how it feels to actually hold/use/talk on. Knocksock, does yours actuall work? How does it feel? How do the keys feel? (Are they cheap feeling, or do they have a good 'click' to them?)
