<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.silicon-i.biz/i800.html' target='_blank'>http://www.silicon-i.biz/i800.html</a><br /><br /></div>Our friend Gears over at CoolSmartPhone.com is running a story about a recently announced i800 Smartphone by a Belgium based company called Silicon-i. The Smartphone is running on Windows Mobile 2003 SE and it specs are the same as the Orange SPV C500 and the Audiovox SMT5600. I am sure everyone will agree with our friend Gears' comment that this Smartphone must ship quickly if it wants to garner a market share. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-Jul05-i800.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />The styling of this Smartphone reminds me of the ill-fated <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5887">Motorola MPx100.</a> :? And I wonder if it is based on the MPx100 design or the newer <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8606">Microsoft Peabody</a> platform. What are your thoughts?

Another S747 variant? (http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=54888) It's never-ending. :lol:

Oh! :oops: I haven't caught up with all the news that happened during the last two months, when I was underground. It definitely is an S747 variant.

Oh, wow! I forgot all about that phone... :oops:

[Darius Wey]

Don't worry. I had almost forgot about it too, until the styling of the keypad got a few of my neural cogs moving again.

It's fantastic how there are now officially a million model numbers denoting the same device. :P

[Kris Kumar]

So is the S747 based on Microsoft Peabody, HTC or its own platform? :?

[Mike Temporale]

It doesn't appear to be based on the Peabody or a HTC designed device.

I think it's based on Chi Mei's design from Taiwan/China.

Oh good, they did such a bang up job with the MPx220 this is sure to be a hit. :lol:
