The phone will have a number of configurations according to UMPC Portal. SSD sizes range between 8GB and 64GB while hard drives range from 30GB to 120GB. I don't care how far advanced HDD technology has gotten, I'm not sure I'd trust one as much abuse as a cell phone gets.

The phone will between 512MB and 1GB of RAM on it, which should be fine for an XP based machine. The screen is 800x480 and support touch, so maybe this is based on the Tablet PC bits.

As for wireless, it supports just about the entire alphabet of wireless technologies: GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WDCMA, CMDA/CDMA2000, EVDO, SCDMA HSDPA, 802.11g, WiMax, Bluetooth and GPS.

It actually will have a single full sized USB port as well as a mini-USP port.

What I want to know is if I can Flash my WM Rom from it... Looks to be interesting, and truely a Pocket PC...

It's actually a MID not a cellphone.

What about the HTC Shift? Or a long list of devices with GSM/ CDMA + XP/Vista. This is just old news on a long list of devices that are partially cell phone, but mostly MID/UMPC

It would suck anyway, XP is getting to be old news here soon.

[freeza]

............just no.

Isn't that the dream anyway ? Windows Moblie is a stripped windows version, wouldn't the final goal of a Windows Moblie phone to have a full windows OS on it ?

It's actually a MID with phone. Not a phone with XP

512mb or 1gb of ram is not fine.
I have like 790 something mb of ram in my computer
(old xp computer that has an agp port for vid card slot, it's ancient)
and I can't add more ram to it,
but anyways, it blows, I wouldn't want any type of a computer, mobile or not, that has that much ram, it's pointless now-a-days.
I cant even run photoshop and a few other programs.
it blows.

I think it might be a useful device if the battery life were greater.
