T-Mobile MDA Vario II Due out in the third quarter of 2006, price unknown....same time as Hollywood.
Nokia E61 - no camera, no PDA, no headphone jack, no touchscreen and 3G is WCDMA....due out this March....it's March. Also see

Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX T830 - The most interesting one of the bunch....HSDPA version not spec'd tho....and of course MW5

. The 800 series phone sare expected in July in Europe starting at around $850 US..., not here till who knows when.
Sony Ericsson M600i - pale compeitor to the 990...not in same league.
BenQ-Siemens P51 - BenQ is not excatly known for delivering announced products.....years is not unusual. And No 3G
Other than FS, none of these gives me the slightest pause. The two (FS and Nokia) most compelling won't be available here before Hollywood so I can't really see what there is to beef about.
If it is because they have made announcements well MS said they were eliminating 3,000 bugs with Win2k....and they introduced 28,000 new ones. These outfits have nothing to lose as they have no significant sales in this market. They want to drum up interest for their entry into the marketplace and have no sales to lose. Why doesn't palm fight vaporware announcements with vaporware ? Cause they don't have to.
