XPPhone

via UMPCPortal
  • MID/Tablet/Phone
  • 4.8" 800x480 touch screen
  • video out (via docking connector)
  • Two types of USB connector (presumably one for host one for client)
  • 4 row keyboard ... but it ALSO has dedicated number keys (off to the right side)
  • Dpad (on the keyboard)
  • Looks like it ALSO has a trackpad

Looks a little on the thick side, but otherwise similar in overall shape to an N810 ... just clearly a little bit bigger (it looks like it probably pushes the limits of "pocketable" ... esp. for people who already think the N800 pushes that limit (my pockets can go a little bigger than an N800, though)). And running _XP_ (a bad thing in my book, but I'm sure it's a good thing in other people's books ... but it holds promise for running other PC OSes).

Hopefully Nokia will notice that an N810 sized phone (with 4"+ screen) could, in fact, work. Maybe even something this size, but with an ARM cpu and Maemo (though I'd probably want to clean up that keyboard a little... I don't know that we really need a touch screen AND dpad AND trackpad ... I'd dump the trackpad, probably).

400g heavy, to be precise. Industrial pockets only :) Also, not many people will be happy with a phone that lasts 7 hours on a charge...

But you can pro'ly use it to hammer nails and I bet when it is placed in your breast pocket it could qualify as body armor. :D

thats one very small keyboard.

Still, if the cpu can go into a state close to hibernation, while the phone radio is still powered up, things could be interesting. Mind, it would have to be xp stripped to the bone, with a custom interface on top...

Or maybe they went with the HTC solution, a arm phone in the same shell as a X86 pc?

That would make a nice ad for this thing, with a fake Mae West voice...
