The Compal smartphone is very thin in fact!!!

[Guest The unexpected guest !]

Look at that!

Wow, very very thin! :shock:

R.I.P for the Z100, but beautiful pics anyway :wink:

[Guest Richie M]

Not bad, but then again i've got a massive friend and the SPV looks tiny in his hand.

I like the way the photos are taken with a black background in the hope you don't notice the big arial sticking out :shock:

[Guest slowphones]

the actual dimensions are very much like the z100. its about 1cm longer than the spv and the thinnest around...+ its the fastest smartphone i've used with button placement more thought out than the others.The display in my opinion isn't as good as the latest spv's but this could change?

[Guest The unexpected guest !]

I prefer this one :)

I've seen the Compal. and it very thin. Very long tho - reminds me of the Ericsson R520!

The Compal design is ugly !!

Looks like they copied the design from the emulator in Smartphone SDK !!

And I have been trying to replace the emulator skin !! BTW Has anybody tried doing this ?? :shock:

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Er, the Compal is the Texas Instruments SmartPhone reference design, hence the emulator skin is actually based on that device :)

The next Reference Design from Motorola wil look like this:

I'm sure :wink:

[Guest Syvwlch]

Had that one in my hand the other day. Actually has GPS directly on-board!

Apparently they realize that one is ugly tho, and there is a version with a lower end that narrows down(kinda like the SPV), but with the same innards. That's the one that will hit the stores en masse.

Those Motorola's look well nice :)

Shame about the aerial though, still not enough to put me off...

[Guest Simon Desser]

I can't believe this hasn't been moved to the "Very Thin Phone" section :)

I'll check back in the morning when I'm sure it will have been moved :!:

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Now now Simon Desser, idle chit-chat is also against forum rules ;p

[Guest Carnivor]

I think its disgusting. from all the Smartphones about the SPV is still leagues ahead of the field in style and design. and with someone up on high actually listening to the minions the spvx is more ergonimically appealing.

Ugh - effing Motorola crap. A830 effing Motorola 3G crap. Typical nightmare Motorola design, too.

Worst two phones I've ever had the displeasure to own were Motorolas.

What the hell's happened to the bottom of that Compal on the second image?!

Looks like it wears down more than the SPV.

Where is (was) the SD card slot on the Z100?

Probably on the side not facing us.
