Zenum's site has been reborn recently, though, suggesting that the company is still on track to eventually offer the QWERTY device, this time with a spring '07 launch."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20070314-zenumopus.jpg" /><br /><br />We've been down this road before (previous posts <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?topic_id=51359">here</a> and <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?topic_id=52778">here</a>) - Zenum's Opus Opteris has a new launch date that's even more amorphous than the last one. With all the snazzy new devices launched at 3GSM the specifications are looking more tired than ever, but it's still one of the more stylish PDA phones I've seen - the selling proposition obviously isn't based on specs. Even on that score there's a lot of competition out there starting with the iPhone, so whether this device will have any kind of impact with only triband GSM and GPRS is debatable (oops! I'm talking about specs, aren't I?). Zenum have made over their <a href="http://www.zenum.ch/">website</a> though there isn't much to see just yet save for some updated pics - right after the break.<!><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20070314-opus3.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20070314-opus4.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20070314-opus5.jpg" />

why not? :D hahaha

question to those who know better: this one uses OMAP750 is that better or worse than the OMAP850 processors that HTC uses? the device looks really great but the specs by GOD the specs suck for 2007, unless they are positioning it as a budget device which I'm pretty sure they are not.
