Would the ability to run a full version of Windows be enough for you to abandon your current phone?

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?

One word: Overkill

Things like cellphones should be made simpler and easy to use.
I'm sorry but an entire Windows XP OS on a cell phone that's the size of a brick?

Just call it a Ultra Portable Laptop with a built-in phone.

Still no clue what "Super mobile CPU" is supposed to mean. And a phone that weighs nearly half a kilogram? That's four times heavier than my Nokia brick.

VGA output for monitor and projektor. Yummi :).

Imagine using this little thing as your media center both in your home and your friends place.

Thats what it would need to do for me to be interested.

Its one step closer having fully functional portable PCs. Pretty soon the guts of the machine will be just a box you keep on your hip or in your pocket and use wireless peripherals with.

Of course it does silly, or else you wouldn't see anything on it :]

Maybe you are asking if it has a descent GPU?

"Sorry I couldn't call you back honey, but it's tuesday so there were a number of critical updates to be installed."

(Translation -- no way would I run a phone w/ XP. I prefer a laptop and a simpler always-works phone.)

I know I don't like cell phones cause of how small most of them are and especially cause of how small the buttons are.

Hell, that thing is gigantic compared to all other cell phones I've seen and the buttons at least look manageable for my really big hands.

But I really don't see the need for texting and in most cases, I don't see the need to use a phone when away from the home unless it's an emergency or unless you need something. Most phone calls can wait.

But then again, these days most people seem to be glued to their phones where ever they go including when they are driving.

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?

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.
