More importantly, I really hope that they didn't cancel the three other models. As expressed by the editors before, I agree that the ones cancelled were the more interesting models. Like I said, they're pretty inside and out *shot for use of platitude*, but relative to the cancelled models, they physically lack that "wow factor"....but, then again, they all had the same features.

At the end of the day, I can't even afford a piece of any of them, so no net loss here, for me. ]]>Sep 8th 2007 10:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/08/i-mate-ultimate-6150-8150-now-shipping/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/08/i-mate-ultimate-6150-8150-now-shipping/
Hopefully I'll be able to buy the 8150 very soon. After seeing the demo, it is at the top of my shopping list.]]>Sep 8th 2007 11:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/08/i-mate-ultimate-6150-8150-now-shipping/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/08/i-mate-ultimate-6150-8150-now-shipping/
Several Nokias include the wireless presenter app. which allows PC control over bluetooth and have done for some time now. Put a shortcut on the desktop to the on-screen keyboard and you have total control via the phone dpad - no key board necessary...

I don't get the hype surrounding the other delayed devices.

You have a micro PC which is barely plausible as a PC substitute and too bulky as a phone. You'd be better served with a 10" with a 'full' OS, packing a USIM.

Then you have a fat slider which for the added bulk doesn't give you much more screen real estate than the 8150.

Finally you have a PDA clam shell that is novel but due to the screen size and awkwardness for wide screen usage isn't particularly useful.

Those released are innovative and practical. The 8150 is a great phone for those that want 50/50 usage of PDA and phone functions without yelling names into the handset on the train or polishing the screen every second minute, smudgy iPhone style.]]>Sep 13th 2007 11:28AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/08/i-mate-ultimate-6150-8150-now-shipping/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/08/i-mate-ultimate-6150-8150-now-shipping/Sep 9th 2007 2:52PM
