This phone has been a long time in the works and now it is available for preorder, though they still have no price for it. The selling point of this phone is that it doesn't run a mobile phone operating system, but rather a full blown version of Windows XP. Think of it as an OQO, but smaller and with phone hardwire built in. A good idea at one time, does this phone still make sense today?
The specs are impressive. They include:
AMD Super Mobile CPU - after a little bit of time on Google, I still don't know exactly what that is
512MB-1GB of RAM
Solid State Drive in 8/16/32 or 64GB sizes
Hard Disk Drive in 30/60/80 or 120 GB sizes. By the way, you get both the SSD and HDD, presumably to optimize power savings, performance and storage capacities
800x480 screen
GSM radios - GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA
CDMA radios - CMDA/CDMA2000/1xRTT/EVDO/TD-SCDMA/TD-HSDPA
Wifi 802.11b/g - WiMax available
Bluetooth
GPS
Talk time of 5 hours
Operating of 7-12 hrs depending on usage
