A brief look at the specs tells us this: PXA270 520MHz CPU, 64Mb of SDRAM, 128Mb of Flash ROM, 0.3MP camera, Wireless b/g, 2.2" QVGA screen, mini USB port (client), CF Type 2 slot and a MiniSD slot."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Jerry-SGVP.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />Ok, it's pretty ugly. I am not even sure if it is a Smartphone or a Pocket PC Phone. To make it more confusing it has VoIP capability. Nevertheless I present it for your consideration. We like to stay on the cutting edge here. It has a face only a mother could love though.
