The original story is in Italian, the Google translation can be found <a target="_blank" href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.pocketpcitalia.com/News/2008/01/Toshiba-presenta-i-nuovi-Port-/&amp;langpair=it|en&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8">here.</a>&nbsp;I love the design, looks elegant and has a trackball for navigation. This design could have easily given the Blackjack and the Q9h series a tough competition if it included the 3G radio in its specs. It is sad to see a device slated to hit the market in March 2008 not having 3G. The&nbsp;other key&nbsp;highlights of this&nbsp;smart phone are GPS, 2.46&quot; screen and Quad-band GSM. </p>

Plus, it looks depressingly like a black Q.

EDIT: Oops - didn't see the trackball. That is a nice touch, but the design still doesn't do much for me over the Q.

You are right, it does seem to have borrowed it looks from the Q.

HOT !! Anybody who wants to buy my S710 ? :D

The specs say "Display: QVGA (480x800)", which is wrong I think.
