Computex: Inventec K871 On Display
"Not too many details on this one just yet, but Inventec was apparently showing off the Okwap-built K871 at Computex, and aside from boasting a slideout QWERTY keyboard and a standard number pad, it also comes loaded with the latest version of Windows Mobile. Additionally, the smartphone packs a three-megapixel camera with auto focus, a few handy hotkeys surrounding the number pad, built-in 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, USB 2.0 connectivity, and the ability to hop on the 3G highway via HSDPA."
That's certainly a different looking keypad from the designs we've seen, though I'm not sure how good it would be with all the central buttons flush with the casing like that. The specs on the other hand are really good, and this could be one to wait for except for one thing: I'm not sure how ready Inventec are. All I've seen from them are concept devices (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here). Having said that, another player in the Windows Mobile realm is surely welcome, especially since their devices certainly look intriguing.

That's right, the name listed at Aving and Engadget seems wrong.
Okwap has released a couple of devices before (don't know if they were made by Inventec, though). As far as I know Inventec made that horrible-looking i-mate device - was it JAQ it was called?
