This device looks VERY tempting.

According to the HTC site the display IS VGA which is about the only thing I was still looking for on this device.

I'll just hold my breath until it arrives in the US.

Sorry, that important detail was left out of this article. I've added it in.

So this is what Motorola saw coming that caused them to cancel the MPX 220 (hope that model number is right, but you know the one of Moto's 1,000 models I mean).

If there is something lacking in this model, I sure can't tell you what it might be. TWO cameras!

Stunning.

There has been some amazing value-added features appearing in other pocketpc's which would not necessarily bulk up the device. These are things like USB host, Audio Out via the connector, VGA out via the connector, graphics co-processor, Consumer IR, jog dial etc.

Of course CF slot would be nice too, but its omission is quite understandable. Dual SD slot would not have been impossible however.

The perfect handheld will never be made. This is at the pinnacle at the moment however. I'm getting it when it comes out.
