The QTEK 8500 I was sent has a burgundy back and front cover combined with black, and it looks quite professional. The burgundy pieces have small ridges that seem to give you a bit better grip on this slim clamshell device. The device is very thin, and I was able to easily slide it into my pants or shirt pocket while barely even knowing I was carry a Windows Mobile Smartphone."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060411-geekstartrekreview.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Palmsolo over at Geek.com has posted a mini-review of the new Qtek 8500. I think these pictures are the cleanest and best quality pictures that I have seen to date. Also, I'm thinking the burgundy coloured device looks a lot better than the plain version. Has anyone figured out the deal with the keypad? Why do some of the HTC Star Trek devices have those circles and others don't? I'll take a green or blue version without the circles. :mrgreen:
