I must admit i sat up and waited for the speach last night, it was on rather late in the uk and I didnt find any of what he said for smartphone to be of any great interest!

58mm X 108mm X 181mm may be small for a PPC but compared to the C500 (108X46X16) it's a brick. Certainly not something Id want to carry in my pocket.

[PaulOBrien]

It's actually on slighly thicker than the C500, and absolutely pocketable.

I've got mine in my pocket, WITH the Brando leather case on, and it's fine!

When I get the silicon case, or without the case, it's even better

And do people laugh out loud or just snigger quietly when you hold it up to your ear to use as a phone?

or is it that you just like leatjher? Or silicon?

You must have more room in your pockets than me I guess.

It looks about the same size as my E200 - no one laughs at me for holding that to my ear and making calls (at least not that I've noticed).

e200 120 X 50 X 24 - And one of the reasons I didn't get one of those was size. (PS maybe you just haven't noticed )

Is that 58mm DEEP, 181mm TALL and 108mm WIDE ?
Compared to a C500 16mm DEEP, 108 TALL, 46mm WIDE ?

[Confucious]

I got the spec from  http://www.expansys-...code=I-MATE_JAM

it looks like it was wrong and s/be 58mm WIDE X 108mm TALL X 18.1mm DEEP

I think they missed a decimal point which does sort of change the way I look at it - mybe I should double check figures before I post them! :oops:

So it's not a lot larger than the C500 (I've not actually seen one) - it begins to make more sense now....

My jam is in the post and will be here tomorrow :-D
expansys have just put the price up by £20 (£78.99, £36 a month contract)
so the people who got in first did well, i bet the price goes up again ;-)

something to do with the beta i guess, not a phrase ive heard before

[chameleon]

here's my 2 cents worth:

i got an SPV e200 and an XDA 2, well MS had business in mind when releasing WM2003 2nd Edition that will support only newer XDA 2i and NOT the previous XDA 2. UPGRADE WAS IMPOSSIBLE they said. The NEW WM2003SE was HARDWARE dependent and WOULD NOT RUN on older devices.

A lot of people DID NOT BELIEVE this and of course...IMAGE FILES cannot be KEPT forever so a couple went out and PRESTO, we had them running in our XDA 2 in no time.

morale: Dont get discourage right away...evidently they have to test their NEW software ON OLD hardware because the NEW hardware is still unavailable. SO FOR TEST ONLY versions EXIST supporting OLD hardwares. The only way we can UPGRADE and take advantage of this new software without buying the extravagant new hardware would be to locate the TEST IMAGE FILES. (.nbf)

and evidently, maybe c500, e200 and mpx can support this new software. the e100 though doesnt stand a chance.

currently were waiting for AVAILABILITY of WMP 10 for PPC (which by the way is already available from the image file but in chinese language - now how in the hell did they got first dibs on that?)

...hoping.

So what you are saying Chameleon is that you are using unsupported, illegal software? Isn't that specifically forbidden by the rules of this forum?

Lots of things atre possible, you can run Windows XP with 64Mb of RAM for instance, but they are not supported and you are likely to have problems.

Nice to see a new version of Windows Smartphone in development

I hope that the future Windows Smartphones can high a higher resolution yet the same screen size for example if you look at the Sony Ericsson S700i, the screen is absolutely amazing for it's size, astonishing quality!

[Brody]

WM2003 SE supports a higher screen res than has been implemented on any device yet (240*320).
