BT W what is with the comments system? I rarely get email notification of replies and then things like this happen where Flashpoint's reply ends up attached to a different comment despite my getting a rare email telling me they had replied.]]>Dec 20th 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/20/keepin-it-real-fake-part-ciii-half-nokia-half-htc-all-ripof/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/20/keepin-it-real-fake-part-ciii-half-nokia-half-htc-all-ripof/Well, I personally wasn't trying to be rude in my comment, just trying to jog your memory (and I played the hell out of Mario World, so it was easy to remember for me.)

It probably is a shop job.

If you can add software to it, like an ssh client, then you could use it as a real mobile computing device (control keys, etc.). Plus it has an actual number row instead of mashing the symbols onto the letter keys.

The question is: does it feel as good as it looks. The answer is probably no. But at least one manufacturer finally tried putting a full keyboard layout on their mobile device. More should try it.

But, I'm willing to bet that the double-quote/comma key does a single-quote/period with the windows key. I bet that windows key is actually some form of symbol/fn key that does some magic.

So, maybe question-mark/slash are on the colon/semi-colon key.

But, yeah, I hadn't noticed those two keys missing. Probably would have made more sense to make those four symbols (period, single-quote, question-mark, and slash) be primary over the four symbols on those 2 keys.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA OR CANADA, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

This phone is dual band, 800-1900 GSM, NOT quad band GSM.

Notice no large national US providers us 800 or 1900? They're all 850/1900.
THIS PHONE WILL NOT WORK ON ANY US GSM NETWORK.

It doesn't have the radio to transmit to it.

Cool phone, and if it were quad band at that price, I probably would pick one up... but all the "cool" phones like this are dual-band, and not functional in NA.]]>Dec 20th 2007 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/20/keepin-it-real-fake-part-ciii-half-nokia-half-htc-all-ripof/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/20/keepin-it-real-fake-part-ciii-half-nokia-half-htc-all-ripof/
