Guest fluffcat1 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 HTML specs from their site: http://www.myaxia.com/a308.htm A collegue once showed me the Axia 108 running Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET 4.2 and I tried to get hold of one. They have a London office that never answers the phone.... Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pookiecheeks Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 ..yes, yes, yes... it has this and has that etc, but... smartphones still ONLY have piddly little screens. that's one reason i jumped across to pocketpcs. sorry, i guess my biased views aren't helping here. pookiecheeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevormuk Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 World's smallest Smartphone???? The dimensions they quote quite clearly shows their phone is larger than the C600 and the SP5? C600 10.8 x 4.6 x 1.9 Axia 308 11.3 x 4.9 x 2.1 Are they mad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 There are specs on the site and a price listed. It is a PPC...a tall and skinny PPC...but a PPC none the less. I'm using my phone or I would post a direct link. Look under Products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest w411y Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) Woah hes right. Maybe they intended on sayin "Worlds Smallest Phone running WM5 for Pocket PC" Quite a nice form factor for a PPC IMHO. The thing I prefer smartphones over PPCs is their ability to be used quickly using softkeys and type with one hand and it seems that this adds that by the looks of things ;) Nice Edited March 2, 2006 by w411y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fluffcat1 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) I thought it was a slide, ok sorry shall i change the title? I would if I were you. And it's catagory, as it's wrong too.... And maybe set google as a favourite on your web browser for checking news stories? ;) ( It's O.K - I didn't spot it wasn't a smartphone either :oops: , and I had the advantage of knowing their web URL to get the 'proper' specs as opposed to 3rd hand from other sites. Bizarrely google doesn't throw up their official site to the top...) EDIT - in the attached photo I can see 'pocket pc ' written top right of the screen... :oops: :roll: The build quality of the A108 I saw did look good, I may well get one of these new ones.

Guest pierre Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'm confused: is this product from Malaysia (http://www.myaxia.com/a308.htm) or Switzerland (http://www.vipn.ch/index.htm)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pigo Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 To be honest I think it's FUGLY but do like the fact that it's a PPC. would like to have a play with it to see how it works. just think the screen is something to get used to.

Guest s0tz Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) yup tt is a PDA alrite, if u do dig deeper into their website, under http://www.vipn.ch/uk/produitsuk.htm u'll see more phones model they'll be dishing out, 1 particular model that entice me is the EMXI 700 tts at the bottom of the page ;) Edited March 3, 2006 by s0tz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not on their own site - I think the Swiss site is a one-stop telecoms providor for broadband, VoIP, mobile etc, and they supply devices from various manufactruer's under one umbrella - much like UTStarcom in North America. Could be wrong though?... Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I still don't know if it's really the world's smallest PDA with WiFi. Depends on which dimension you're looking at. That thing sure is tall. Not the shortest by a longshot. But it's skinny too. So we may need to measure square cm's to be sure that claim is correct. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
