    Looks like a Diamond.


    "Main Camera: 8 million pixels"


    Do we mean megapixels or is this a unit I'm just unfamiliar with?

    @Jonathan Moll:

    In the metric system Mega means Millions so 1 MegaPixel means 1 Million Pixels


    In Bytes 1 megabyte = 1 048 576 bytes


    Now a cheat sheet


    mega(unit) 1,000,000 units

    kilo(unit) 1,000 units

    hecto(unit) 100 units

    deca(unit) 10 units

    deci(unit) 1⁄10 of a unit

    centi(unit) 1⁄100 of a unit

    milli(unit) 1⁄1,000 of a unit

    micro(unit) 1⁄1,000,000 of a unit

    nano(unit) 1⁄1,000,000,000 of a unit

    picoe(unit) 1⁄1,000,000,000,000 of a unit

    @matopete: Stupid Metric System with its reality based "measurements". Just who does it think it is. Here in the good ol US of A we don't need no "logical" measuring system, We like 12 and by golly if 12 is good enough for telling the time its good enough for america.

    @michaelwiggins: If all you do is work on the web, even just running a G3 with Panther will do you proper, since you have compatibility with Firefox to at least the last version.


    My 400MHz cobalt ran very nicely on 512 and a new HDD as well.

    1 ghz processor? Sounds like bit of an overkill for windows mobile. Why just not run windows xp on it?

    @Chariot: I'm more concerned about battery life. If it can manage 1GHz and run for as long as a weaker phone, I fail to see the problem. Overkill is better than gimping, so long as the caveats don't outweigh the benefits

    Totally better than any captain's chair on Star Trek...not only is it comfy, but it also includes the de facto integrated displays and ample reclining space.

    And, after just a few hours of being forced to keep your head twisted to a 45 degree angle to view the screen--which could have just as easily been designed to swing out in front of you rather than stay stuck in the side armrest--just how good are you going to feel about this purchase?


    Hey, Athena, let me introduce you to a new word: ergonomics.
