This amazing device is just like the HTC Wizard except it has a 640x480 res screen. It has an SD slot. Windows Mobile 5 (of course because Palm will never release a large keyboard device). Great device overall. Check it out :)

It has only Japanese system and will only sell in Japan. And it's a phs device not GSM or CDMA. So the phone function will not work outside Japan

A PHS phone? Wish it comes to Taiwan, then :)
I though they stopped making PHS phones...

Taiwan? Not a chance. It has Willcom logo on it. Unless the service provider in Taiwan signed contract with both sharp and willcom, there won't be any chance to use the phone function in any place other then Japan

After looking at this in some of the other sites, I think it would be better if the unit was in Linix like the Zaurus also made by Sharp. Also, it being WM5, looks like Microsoft is trying to take Linux away from mobiles, or at least stunt Linux 's growth.

PHS is one( they also use GSM and CDMA and etc.) of the telecomunication system used in Japan, China and some other countries. It's cheap, but the range is much shorter compare to GSM. Normally u can only use the device in urban area. The phs device usually does not have a sim card slot, they were sold not in shop but by service provider.
