THIS would make the day for a longtime reader!

29 down!

Here we go again!

Hey Radiationman,

"Everything's relative" definitely applies here. To me - this isn't that bad. But I normally have to lug a laptop around with me. Having a device like this may allow me to leave the laptop at home if I take a quick trip on business or need to have a mobile connection to the office while I'm taking a vacation day to spend with the family. Would I want to use this as my primary, everyday, mobile phone solution? No. But that's why I have 4 different phones and understand that I can switch my SIM to fit my venture.

I can tell you something that would decrease the size of this thing though, and possibly put it on your short list:

Change the outside screen to 240x240.
Add a qwerty keyboard and design it for single-handed use (ie, jog wheel, soft keys, and drop that stupid biometric scanner).
Change the inside to a VGA screen.
Reposition the speakers to you can decrease the size of the device to match the outer changes.

These changes should greatly decrease the size height and possibly the width of the device. As for depth (or thickness), I'm certain it can be streamlined enough to trim some of the bulk while keeping it's featureset... but (sadly), I don't design these things.

And the first line of the story from msmobiles.com says 'This phone still is denoted as "prototype"' - I'm hoping that they'll be making changes before they start pumping these out of a factory (although stranger things *have* happened...)!

I'm waiting to read the site one day and see:

Yesterday's winner: Chris Toohey! Congratulations, Chris Toohey!

If this company really wants to make an impression with this device, they should have QVGA on the outside, and VGA on the inside!

As for people complaining about the size - I personally don't care how large the device is, as long as it's functional and portable. And while I can't see holding this brick up to my ear for day-to-day usage, I think anyone who's looking for this high-end of a device is certain to pitch in another $50 for a BT headset!
