Looks like the Quanta-made device is going to be made available globally instead, or at least in Europe. All models will be available by the end of October, with the following SRPs:<br /><br />• rx5000: £299 inc VAT - £349 inc VAT, depending on model<br />• rw6815: £369.99 inc VAT<br />• rx4240: £199.99 SRP inc VAT from Dixons / PC World stores exclusively <br />• rx4540(1GB storage): £249.99 inc Vat

Is the device REALLY that small, or is it that the guy's hand is monstrous? 8O

A bit of both, I think - the rw6815 is a pretty small device (think HTC Magician), but not as small as that hand makes it out to be.

Last I recall, it was shorter in height than the Magician. I think the thing is puny.

I think it is a PS picture.

the owner of that hand would probably hate using such a small phone. Us mortals would be happier though.

I remember seeing a huge guy - about 6 foot 6 and 300++ pounds - with a teeny phone a few years ago. He held the phone between thumb and forefinger like it was a dainty little sandwich. Him pressing buttons was hilarious to watch.

Same applies here methinks ;-)

Wow! If it really has GPS, WiFi, BT, and 3G all integrated into that tiny unit, that's amazing!

Now if only it had a keyboard... :)

The rw6815? No GPS or 3G, unfortunately. If it did, it would probably sell like hot cakes.
