However today, in a surprise move, it appears the device has actually been launched in China. Still featuring Windows Mobile 5 and built-in GPS, the device is differentiated from its other QWERTY brethren by having a full QVGA screen above its always exposed thumb keyboard...The device will be on sale for a pricy 6500 yuan (around $825) but BenQ is not ruling out a GPS-free version for less."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20061115-BenQP51.jpg" /><br /><br />Well, I guess <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423323">I was wrong</a> - the P51 <i>is</i> appearing in the Far East. Still, I doubt we'll see it in the Western Hemisphere anytime soon.
