Pocket PC not smartphone - look at the screen. See the Windows key? That means it's running Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone Edition; the smartphone-style soft buttons are on Pocket PC Phone now. And those dimensions - that's barely smaller than the SPV M2000 I just measured. It's a very similar size to the HP Mobile Messenger. It's wider and taller than a BlackBerry 7100g and only a smidge less wide than a trad BlackBerry; the 11.5mm depth beats most things unless that's not including those bezelled edges when it's the same as the BlackBerry - and they have to fit two processors in there for Windows Mobile so it can't physically be the same as the RAZR. I look forward to more Windows Mobile devices with keyboards - we run our own Exchange server so we'll actually get the push email for WM5, which not all users will - but I don't think this will necessarily be sleek. Motorola does some fab phones, but its Windows Mobile phones have been on the chunky side.
And the HTC Universal is rather like a brick; all the keys are square, the same size and with the action of a boiled sweet. No differentiation between typing keys, action keys and modifiers.
There's more to PC games than computer towers and input devices... Enter the CM Storm Sirus, the outfit's first foray into the world of gaming headsets.
