One other site here says it HAS WCDMA !!!

BenQ says it should be available in the summer. I thinks it would only lack a facing speaker camera, and integrated GPS. What do you think ?

Interesting device. I hope it sees the light of day at some point.

Yes, but I think that unfortunatly, contrary to what was said on one site, it does not have WCDMA.

You seem to say that it will not be put on the market, why ?

Well, I may be speaking for from a US perspective... but there have been a lot of devices shown at the trade shows that were never picked up by any carriers. If a carrier doesn't pick them up, then they usually aren't easy to get, nor easy to get them to work if you do manage to get one. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

We seem to be seeing precious little info coming out of CTIA. I was really hoping we would find out more information about the status of this handset (and the Samsung i730) at CTIA. Does anyone know anything more about the status of this very interesting pdaPhone?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend CTIA this year... I am disappointed about that. From what I've heard, the word at CTIA is they are saying May or June... which might as well be forever until something more firm comes out.
