The NewMobile link from his blog post shows yet another set of dreamy close-ups, as well as more detailed specifications that will want to encourage you to box up and eBay your current device while you still have the chance. Arne Hess at The Unwired also has a bunch of even closer close-ups on <a href="http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2975">his latest PhotoView with an unbranded HTC Hermes</a> and was very happy to note that the Hermes's funky-looking mini-USB port can accomodate a standard mini-USB cable. You can all breathe a sigh of relief now. :wink:

really cool device, now i have to chose between this &amp; the BenQ P51 for my next device.. but why the heck are the "Y" &amp; the "Z" replaced on the keyboard :!: :!:

If you're referring to the QWERTZ keyboard style from the device that Arne at Unwired got, it's probably because it's the German version of the device.
