64MB ROM/128MB RAM seems a bit on the low side, the CPU is a bit long in the tooth but I do like the integrated GPS.

If it *is* running Maemo (which I doubt as I suspect it's nothing more than a lame Photoshop) then I think it has the potential to be a good thing.
It's also rather big (a 7 inch screen vs N800's 4.1 inch) and heavy (half a kilogram! not even cargo-pants will take that[*]), doesn't have Bluetooth (or they forgot to mention it in the specs), its input methods are a well-guarded mystery and with that spinning platter of metal will probably need the 4 Ah battery like there's no tomorrow (if it really sucks in 2 amps, as the power tab suggests, that huge battery is going to last exactly two -- as in: 2, dos, twee, deux!! -- hours!).

And I still have no idea what "EMS Memory" actually means.
