<a href="http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/tmobile/">http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/tmobile/</a><br /><br />This must be XDA day. According to <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2552">Andy</a> it's going all over the world, and we proof it right away. Marc Zimmermann pointed out to us it is available from T-Mobile <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2557">Germany</a> right now. And if that's not enough: you can get it at Voicestream / T-Mobile <A HREF="http://www.pocketpcmagic.com/tmobile/<br />" target="_blank">USA</A> too. <br /><br />Of course our pal pt ran out the door, got himself a box, and had a nice unwrapping party. As his camera goes wherever pt goes, we can get our share of his joy. Click the title of this post to get to a page full of pictures of every detail on the XDA that you'd like to see.

Hehe ... I think pt was so excited he forgot to focus on most of his pictures :P

It does look very nice though and I can't wait for Rogers or Fido to carry it here. Otherwise I'll have to go hunting for an unlocked version.

Am I the only one who feels like my afternoon greasy face (I live in Atlanta and get greasy in the afternoon...) will leave smudges all over the screen? :?

Could you confirm:

1-No plan for 65K color screen?
2-No plan for 64Mb RAM
3-No plan for Compact Flash support?
4-Is the phone SDIO capable? (for my future WiFi connection)
5-Do I have to use either headset or speaker phone for phone function? or can I just put to my ear?
6-VStream is new in Sothern Calif, how is their coverage? quality, etc..
If I wait a little longer, are there other choices?
Thanks!

Would adversely affect battery life.

3-No plan for Compact Flash support?

The size would grow. I'm happy to have it so small.

4-Is the phone SDIO capable? (for my future WiFi connection)

Hard to say. I only have SD storage cards.

5-Do I have to use either headset or speaker phone for phone function? or can I just put to my ear?

Works at the ear as well.

6-VStream is new in Sothern Calif, how is their coverage? quality, etc..

That should be answered by someone from that region.

If I wait a little longer, are there other choices?

Likely, but currently there aren't even rumors about other devices. So it could take a while before someone else appears...
