the handset as having Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro but the same TI OMAP 850 chip running at 200Mhz (huh?). There's quad-band GPRS / EDGE and a 2 megapixel camera listed along with WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a microSD card slot. Inside will be the Opera browser for silky smooth surfing. Hmm.. What no 3 megapixel cam? No 3G ?
