NEC's N500 touchscreen cameraphone

NEC N600

For some reason we didn't think the N500 would be hit stores until sometime early next year, but from the looks of it NEC's new tri-band GSM/GPRS cellphone, which sports a 176x220 pixel LCD touchscreen (for doing some basic PDA-type stuff) and a built-in VGA quality camera, is already available in Thailand, if not elsewhere in Asia. Not likely to make it over here, especially since NEC's handsets rarely show up this side of the pond.
