MWg - formerly O2 Asia - have a new device on the block, the Atom V.
Detailed here at eXpansys, specs include: - Windows Mobile 6 Professional - Intel XScale PXA 270 520MHz - 256MB ROM / 64MB RAM - UMTS (2100 MHz), Quad-Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz), HSDPA 7.2Mbps (network dependant) - Bluetooth v2.0, 802.11b/g WLAN - 2.8" QVGA - FM Radio with RDS - SiRF Star III GPS - 2MP camera with Flash - 116 x 59 x 14.95mm I'll be putting it through it's paces over the coming days and I've posted my unboxing above... if you have any questions, this is the place! Fire away! I'm particularly interested in the speed of the device with that speedy proc, whether 64MB is a hinderance, if the camera's any good and how sensitive the GPS is! Do any of the UK networks support 7.2Mbps HSDPA yet? That's pretty fast that   P [Note: The video is just going thru approval, so if you're in quick after my post, you may not see it yet ]

Hey Paul. Nice unboxing. Pretty generic device to be honest but id like to know more about the custom UI. (i kinda wish samsung had bothered to set up a custom UI for the i780...that nice flush touchscreen going to waste...).
Also, the link to expansys appears to be broken... -------------------- SPV C500 with 256 Megabyte Mini-SD card and NOKIA HDW-3 BT Handsfree

Gah,
Still no VGA and only 64MB RAM? Paul, does the faster CPU make up for the loss in RAM? |

Has the Glofiish M800 review been posted, have I missed it? How does this stick up against the M800? Is 64mb of RAM as big a deal as people make out?

I've never had a device that i wouldn't use due to having only 64MB RAM, but the speed increase is fairly notible when using multiple apps on a 128MB device, all fairly subjective i guess...

@Paul
Could I ask that with future unboxing vids you zoom OUT a bit! I felt quite dizzy after watching that, and at least some of it was off-camera. Oh yeah, the device... Hmm, not for me. Too big. |

Have you tried out the custom finger-oriented UI you were talking about during the unboxing? Can you provide screencaps?

Given the choice, i'd have the P750, but they're a bit different really.
