Wow looks very nice, too bad the price is too high i think, also, what good use could have a winCE platform?, It will only make the phone unstable, as most winCE PDA's, I think that they should stay focused in the main usage of this thing, a wireless voip phone.
I will have to wait for the prices to drop a bit before getting one...

The reason they put in WinCE is that they wanted full scale browser to work. This way you can log in into wifi network that requires it. I agree it could have been done differently using Symbian OS for example. But my main issue is also the price, for that amount I would expect SIP/GSM combo that can be used in both regimes with GSM fallback if wifi is not available. I guess we have to wait a bit longer....
