The exterior nets you a traditional QVGA display and numeric keypad, while unfolding the beast yields a slightly larger 400 x 240 display along with a full QWERTY board. Internal storage clocks in at 256MB with 64MB of RAM, there's a 2 megapixel autofocus cam around back, and you get the usual microSD expansion, WiFi, and Bluetooth.&quot;</em></p><p><img height="311" width="162" border="0" alt="" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1200520620.usr11642.jpg" /></p><p>What do you all think of this device? It's strange for me. I really like it for some reason and yet I don't have the desire to own one. It has more features than my Dash and yet I wouldn't trade straight across for it. Yet like I said, I like it. In some odd way, it's appealing. What do you all think? Do you like the full qwerty keyboard under the hood of the traditional candy bar style? Do you think texting would be easier? </p><p><em></em></p>

I dunno, it looks cute but boring at the same time. I'm sure this will have to be one of those device where I'll either love it or hate it (like the Cingular 3125, yuck ;))

The resolution on the internal screen is 400x240? Didn't know WinMo supported that.

Uhm, becasue Dash is good enough?

There are only few things that need imporvment on dash:
1. GPS
2. A little speed bump
3. Better call quality
4. A battery life bump (can be achieved with extended battery)

None of these are huge changes, it just takes incremental work.
