Hands-on with the Neonode N2

We had a chance to go hands-on with the Neonode N2 today while trippin' the floors of 3GSM. So how was it? Pretty sweet. Although lacking WiFi and 3G, the device felt excellent in the hand. Text input was a bit buggy but that touch-screen interface and long (theoretical) battery life will likely be a hit in whatever market the N2 ultimately reaches... someday.

I might as well say it. This phone is still 3 years behind. Maybe 2. It lacks EDGE as well, I believe. Whats the point of something like this, with its enphasis on being able to do great things, if the data technology isnt there to back it up.

The first Neonode LACKED GPRS. This one HAS IT, and thats what makes it ridiculous, since its the only data connection available. Make it a little bigger and add WiFi at least. TO much trouble giving it EDGE? This is a 100% non-competitor.

No, the IPhone and HTC is 3 years behind since they came with the touch NOW! Oh sure, they got a bit more technical stuff but they're bigger and not that as good looking as the Neonode N2 is. TRY the phone out before you state your mind. Because I'm very happy with my little N2.
