@dennispg: To my best knowledge (and according to the Read link), this IS indeed a WM6 Professional device, i.e. it has a touch screen:
"Just as a reminder, the Asus P750 sports Windows Mobile 6 Professional, a Marvel 520 MHz PXA27x CPU, 256 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM and GSM/GPRS/EDGE and HSDPA at 3.6 Mbps as well as WiFi and Bluetooth are confirmed as well. Furthermore this devices features a SiRF III GPS receiver and an FM radio. Last but not least, it also includes a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera [...]."
I'll give it a year before the device you describe will hit the market, but don't think you won't want something more by the time it does. If you can live without the QWERTY, buy this and buy a 4 GB microSD card, as I expect this Asus to be microSDHC compatible (but check it out before you actually do) ;)
my bad.. i meant the kaiser, not the excalibur. i liked the way it angles up a bit when the keyboard is slid out compared to the TyTN/Mogul/etc and the way they slide out straight.
however in my search to remember what i actually meant, i came across the htc wing. it has the number pad+slide out keyboard, but no touchscreen (WM standard). oh so close!
so what is it? do the manufacturers just have something against putting numeric keypads on touchscreen phones?? and >512MB flash drives as well for that matter?
also thanks for pointing out the read link, i never thought to check there to find out about the other specs i was curious about.
and youre right from that article one would assume it DOES in fact include a touchscreen... i wonder why engadget says otherwise?
i currently own a Treo 700wx, so im not really planning to hop into the GSM camp. im satisfied with what i have, but if the dream phone i described were to drop.. then i might reconsider.
but so to be more specific then about my dream phone: it would also be CDMA and on sprint!
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
