The new phone will have a full QWERTY keyboard that will slide down under a portrait-oriented touchscreen. We’ll have a mock-up shortly. http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/01/04...e-touchscreen/   01/04/2009, 07:39 PM   #2 (permalink) doctoss Member   Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 89 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Any idea when it will be available?

Big(er) screen, a real keyboard, everything I have heard about Nova has been good. Can't wait to see what it really looks like, when it will launch and who will carry it first (hopefully Sprint). Too bad I just bought a new phone last month. Guess I will have to watch from the sidelines.

That was almost certainly just the brand on the original image used in Photoshop.   01/04/2009, 09:28 PM   #9 (permalink) GearGoddess Member     Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: san francisco Posts: 200 Thanks: 15 Thanked 3 Times in 3 Posts is it jan 8 yet? is it jan 8 yet? is it jan 8 yet? feeling silly... __________________ My journey: PalmPilotPro->PalmPilotIIIx->Treo300->Treo600->Treo650->Treo755p->Pre   01/04/2009, 09:33 PM   #10 (permalink) Blackhawk5 Member   Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Galveston, Texas Posts: 180 Thanks: 16 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Man, I hope Cingular is carrying it with a descent discount...

My Favorite part of the article Quote: The new operating system is described as “amazing” and there will be a full software bazaar on launch. It will have media playback functions along with standard Palm calendar, email, and contact functionality. I hope the Zen of Palm is back! Sooooo looking forward to this week. Mac world and Palm at CES. And I'm leaving for a cruise in two weeks. I love January! Tim __________________ I’m a lucky man to count on both hands The ones I love..

It never made it to the states (that I know of) but it was always my fav Windows Mobile form factor. __________________ I’m a lucky man to count on both hands The ones I love..
