First 1.1Mpixel 192MB SmartPhone

It's a slide-down type phone, running on a 400MHz Intel X-Scale processor with a 2.8" 262K color TFT LCD. It runs MS PocketPC 2003. Personally I think it blows the SE P900 away. Ok, time to wipe the drool off the keyboard! ;)"

    You call that impressive?

    I hook up my 11 megapixel Canon EOS 1Ds to a laptiop with slott-in GPRS / GSM card. That gives me an 11 Mpx (nearly-)mobile phone.

    On a more serious note: As a photographer, I think the whole videophone / cameraphone thing is a ridiculously bad idea. I have been using an Sony Ericsson t68i for years, and it syncs with my laptop via bluetooth. Brilliant, and it does everything I would expect from a simple PDA (calendar and syncs perfectly with my address book, even stores my notes), and telephone, in a minuscule package.

    Blah, progress.

    For $500 I can get the following:
    Apple iPod - top of the line 40 gigs.
    Olympus C750 (10x optical, 4.0Mp, upto 512Mb xD cards)
    GBA - And enough games to make my eyes bleed.
    iPaq - 400Mhz, bluetooth etc..

    First off, you cannot get ALL that for 500 bucks.

    Second, not everybody wants to wear a fucking bat-belt for all their gear.
