title is made of win, yes, but theres also an article...
i want a replacement case like this, but a slider or even old sidekick-style 180* rotate. For those times when an onscreen keyboard cant cut it, how are you supposed to use the keys and screen at the same time? Ooh, a slider eee would be slick...
I think this + a spacer + some work could result in a decent slider, but obviously that's not the intent of this. For a panel-only, a $180 N800 might be a better option (for most) than a $200 Eee, a $60 front panel, and a $20 touchscreen (which doesn't come with the Aeeeris). And an N810 at about $250-$300 might similarly beat the sliderized Eee for practical considerations, if not in coolness.
The N8x0s don't have the horsepower of the Eee, but they're quite adequate, the same resolution, and pocketable. And the N800 even has a D-pad and some buttons on the front, which any Aeeeris mod really wants. The one serious advantage of the Eee, of course, is the VGA output for projectors and such.
Is it bad that, having said all that, I'm _still_ horribly tempted to go buy a second 701 (or even a 700) and Aeeeris it?
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.
