Wonderful, cellphones are back to the size of bricks - just like 20 years ago!
 
Though its a pos atm, give it some time and we may see a real phone as good as this.

- To big and way way to slow

+ Win XP and Hardware spec's
 
I'll buy it for sure if it's price is lower than U$S400 here in Rosario, Argentina :)

Does anyone know something about pricing?
 
[citation][nom]logitic[/nom]ok if it's a touch screen why in the world is the guy using the smallest thumb pad to move around?[/citation]
Thats the thumb pad for the windows cursor. Not every function supports the touch screen.
 
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to big. Too slow.

Android does great. XP is way to big and bloated of an OS for a cell phone and pretty soon, XP won't be available for purchase.

Give it a few years, we'll have the fast phones with projectors built in - for the large screen needs.
 
first off, the whole crysis thing is annoying. please stop all failure to humanity.

Looks very cool, but can you image what would happen if malware gets on it? Also what about viruses. it would be a very bad idea if someone bought something with a credit card over the phone not using the windows portion and the virus catches the credit card number, expiration dates, and security code. That'd totally suck. But once again, pretty interesting.
 
If it can run most games at decent speed/fps, it will replace not only my phone but also my PSP. I prefer bring one gadget that can do functions of two.
 
I want more details on that CPU. I searched Neo X and didn't find anything on this. I also want to know what the GPU is based on and battery life!

This is cool. I'm going to run Folding@Home on one :)
 
the phone did not have a stylus, squeezing the windows xp UI into something that size then using a finder to work the touch screen will be a nightmare.

china is always good at trying to 1 up everyone else.
but they sometimes overlook problems like this.

also do you really want a phone running windows xp, especially with a low powered CPU?

just what every phone needs, slow startup speeds and support for windows apps so you will end up with idiots installing every programs and also every bit of malware the world has to offer then complain that their phone isn't working or keeps crashing

or if something like this becomes popular, you will have botnets of cellphone randomly calling people and advertising crap

 
or even better yet, malware that is able to rip sim card data, theres already some available for the iphone (been floating around a couple forums)

with the rate at which the average user gets windows infected, criminals will start going crazy with making malware that copies sim card data, in which can be used for free automatic dialing of random phone numbers to do some telemarketing

 
keep seeing news for this device, i just hope that this thing doesn't go the way of "Duke Nukem Forever".

if this thing is real, then this is the biggest threat to WinMo
 
Too big, too slow. Kinda ugly too.

(I REALLY wish THW would give up the stupid fancy login menu and just let me save the damn thing in firefox. Every time I want to make a comment I have to enter it again..... ugh!)
 
[citation][nom]sublifer[/nom]Why is the dude in the video just pressing enter the whole time? Is that just a powerpoint slideshow of what the thing looks like?[/citation]
Looks like it doubles as a touchpad. Did you see the mouse cursor moving? I did.
 
How about this, stop "inventing" rehashed ideas over and over and over...

Instead smaller companies should invest in battery R&D. With that, we could truly get a small, relatively powerful pocket pc. I'd love an pocket sized xp rig with decent memory, gpu, running around 2+ ghz. Imagine running REAL apps, games, streaming content on something this size (and then laughing at everyone using a netbook...)

The phone w/ real OS idea is just terrible. Its been said already, but there would be too many issues when all you want to do is make a call ("sorry, my phone just got a BSOD").
