Looks good wish my Treo had that screen resolution!
oh you mean Windows Mobile Treo.
I was about to say Palm asked for that resolution since the Palm OS ones have that resolution.
This is supposed to be 320x320 and hit the sprint network sometime in the next few months.

Hopefully, with the iPhone here we'll begin to see higher resolution smartphones. I'm hoping that when Android hits at the end of the year we'll start seeing VGA resolution phones (640x480). That's about as high res as I want a 2.8-3.5 inch display to get.
damn thats oogly
completly crap.. is it too hard designing something without bulky edges in a slim formfactor?
What a disgusting looking thing.
AND it has Windoze Mobile on it?
I feel physically sick.
*goes to stroke iPhone*
Why must you be the way you are?
I have an iPhone but there's no way I'm going to say it's *better* than a Win-Mo Phone - they do different things. I miss my XDA Mini S from time to time.
Sure our iPhones look nicer to us, but if that's the only reason you buy a phone, you can't start comparing to something like this which adopts function over style.
That thing wouldn't look bad if it wasn't for the display just seeming... small. Sure it's nice being 320x320 and all, but there is just way too much bezel going around there.
And what the heck with the arrow keys? Wouldn't it be better just to omit them at that point?
***Are there any android phones at CeBIT?***
That's what I'm really interested in. I want to see those android phones. Hopefully, we'll get a some before the end of the year. If they were the VGA variety I'd be even more stocked.
That screen is awful. With phones like that and the treo you need to fill out the enter bezel with the screen because of the limited space
The navigation pad is utterly silly.
The screen is too small.
The Samsung i780 is out.
aliased text feels so 1990 to me. :\
(and the handset, capable as it may be, is altogether pretty yawn-inspiring design wise)
pass.
ugh, i don't get it. why do companies insist on designing phones with giant bezels around the screens? either custom order lcd displays or just design the phone better, it's hideous.
