PocketPCItalia.com has exclusive preview photos of the Opus Opteris (<a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pocketpcitalia.com%2FNews%2F2006%2F12%2FOpus%252DOperis%252Drimandato%252Da%252Dmarzo%2F&langpair=it%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools">Google translation here</a>), with the addition of the camera cover the most obvious difference with the original concept design. In addition, Zenum has issued a <a href="http://www.zenum.eu/press/Opus_Operis_PR.pdf">press release</a> (warning: direct pdf link) claiming a March 2007 release date, with some details on the phone's specifications. The Opus Opteris is certainly a stylish looking device, though I have my doubts as to the ergonomics of the keyboard and the specifications are strictly ho-hum. Still, it makes a sharp contrast to the generally utilitarian look of most Windows Mobile phones. Thoughts anyone?
