Unfortunately, there aren't any pictures and the information is as vague as ever. What do we know? "X" will have a certain bling element to it, be 23.9% smaller, 10.3% lighter, and 14.8% thinner than... something, and according to <a href="http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news_details.php?id=13741">Akihabara News</a>, run Windows Mobile 6. And the rest is left to one's imagination.

Specs... Ummm.. Wild guess
2.8" display
400MHz processor (give or take)
Slide out qwerty key board
WiFi b/g
Yeah.. pretty much your standard device I bet

I can't wait till the I-?ate Ultimate series comes out again; till then I'll hold tight to my HTC Universal running WM6 XDA-Developers Rock!

i guess i wouldnt really care - i just dumped by Willcom WS004SH for that released by Softbank (the HTC Hermes)...

in this "era" of inter-connectedness, the Willcom network is just FAR TOO slow to be usable! they advertise 128kbps - but you only get less than 50kbps (c'mon, this isnt the age of modems anymore)... they advertise 204kbps in the main areas like Tokyo, you get only 70kbps... at least for Softbank, even though the rates are much higher (maxes out at about US$86/month), it is well worth the speeds - advertised at 1.8mbps, but you usually get about 700kbps!!!

c'mon Willcom - if i want an information machine, i wouldnt want to spend hours just waiting for a page to load... :devilboy:

do ramp up your network... :wink:
