BenQ's Treo killer P50 Pocket PC Phone to come out in the US

benq p50

The Inquirer just made our day. They're reporting that BenQ's P50 Pocket PC Phone (their Treo 600 clone with the mini keyboard, integrated 1.3 megapixel digitial camera, and built-in WiFi that we've been lusting after ever since we spotted it at CeBIT) will be compatible with GSM cellphone networks here in the States, which is a pretty encouraging sign that they'll actually introduce it here. There's also something or other about Taiwan building a nationwide WiFi network that cellphones like the P50 will be able to use to make wireless Voice over IP phone calls. But we're mainly interested in the fact that the P50 is gonna be sold here.
