So it now looks like that rumored high-end
ZX1 Windows Mobile 6 Professional handset from ASUS is a lock for a CeBIT announcement, though we're going to be totally honest, we're not certain it's worthy of the Lamborghini name. Granted, we've got to withhold judgment until we get one in our hands, but outside of a Lamborghini badge-shaped nav pad and a speedometer-inspired clock on the home screen, we're not seeing anything special about the darned thing. On the plus side, it's a 3G world phone with HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 and quadband GSM / EDGE, a 3 megapixel autofocus camera out back with a VGA sensor up front for video calling, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, microSD expansion, GPS, WiFi, and the typical QVGA display. We guess the 13.2mm thick shell is notable, but
Lamborghini notable? More on this one as soon as we catch it in the wild.

wow
You guys forgot to mention it's invisible. That's a huge selling point for me.
as an iPhone user, maybe i don't know what i'm missing. In this phone, which you sort of dismiss, what exactly does video calling mean? Thanks.
it means something like video camera conference, it's like a webcam on laptop but it's on the phone. So it's like when you talk, there will be an option for video feed.
It's like 3G stuff. I am not an expert in this but I have seen those things.
Video Calling is basically like having a video conversation on MSN for example. On cellphones to have video calling they put a VGA camera on the front (usually near the speaker) so u can talk using handsfree while looking at the person you are talking to and so they can see you as well.
and are there phones on the market now with this feature? how well does it work?
there are tons of phones out there... N95 for example!
Welcome to 2003. Jeesh.
QVGA? argh, thats rubbish
Yep, its pretty awful to have the same resolution screen as the Nokia N95 and N96. Just pure torture....
Unless it's actually a car of course it's not worthy of the name. In this instance, as in many tech instances, the brand is just a license to sell an inferior product at an inflated price.
Does this come with a free Gallardo? If so, I don't care how crap the phone is, it's mine!! :D
they might give you one on a keychain.
QVGA? Are we back in 2005? Give me a break.
how much?
