Have you guys seen the specs on this baby?
300mHz,
32MB Ram
Os 5.2
SDIO slot
removable battery
330K digital camera with FLASH
dual LCD color screens

Wow its pretty sad to think that the first OS5 smartphone is more feature loaded than any current OS5 machine.

Looks like Sony needs to start releasing a couple more models... with better features.

LoL Remember folks,

There are 9 (that's right NINE) months left for Samsung to stay ahead with the competition.

Who knows how many models Sony could come out with.

Samsung is also a great company. This is a very nice looking device. (300mhz may be a little fast. But there should be a over-clocking/underclocking utility coming soon!) :)

I like the phone but I like using Grafitti to input the info, how do we do it now?  Is it like the PPC where you just write anywhere on the screen?

Sony already released the P800.

As far as PDAs are concerned, I think the next round of CLIEs will be a Duesy.

Actually, no it doesn't. The docs on PalmSource say that the manufacturer could add that ability, but it isn't built in as of OS 5.2. This is one of the several differences between Jot and Graffiti 2. They use the same strokes, but they aren't the same.

However, I strongly suspect that Samsung did implement the fullscreen writing ability, otherwise there would be no way to input anything, since it doesn't look like it has an alphanumeric keyboard.
