Make the screen slide up to reveal a Qwerty keyboard ... a 1GB RAM option ... and maybe options for more SSD, OR add an SDHC (or microSDHC, but not miniSD/SDHC) slot... and make the GSM radio have SMS/MMS capability plus be both AT&T and T-Mo-USA compatible (European being a nice bonus) ... and I might be interested.

What are the different face buttons?

Middle left looks like "home" and the one under it looks like back or escape (the Nokias use that button symbol for back/escape). What's that strip/bar above home?

And are the two right buttons a dpad and a select button?

Classic "engrish" speaking chinese marketing departments, eh? I have to give them credit though, they've come a long way in the last 10+ years, during which they've marketed and marked up their product boxes of knockoff american products with names like "sun-moon-star CDROM drive", "Patriot motherboard" and case fans with text on the box to the effect of "highest cooling satisfaction for you!"

Well done, BenQ

Samsung sounds bad I know,
BenQ is slightly better... Didn't they change it to Qisda or something?]]>Apr 19th 2008 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/benqs-atom-based-mid-gets-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/benqs-atom-based-mid-gets-detailed/May 12th 2008 4:11AM
