I read alot of info on the OMAP designer website, its true its not designed for multi tasking ie running video, gps, gsm, all at the same time. Specs show it should be good enough. However look at Eten's X500, good samsung 400mhz with same specs as this HTC P3300. Anyone has a P3300 and used it yet. Please give us your review. I am also concerned about the 200 mhz speed.

Not me! But others can preorder it for $699. Not only the CPU ... but the battery also - 1200mAh will not do the job for a GPS/PDA. These days even an average PDA has to have at least a 1500mAH battery!

How about buying a bery decent GPA for $300-$400 and a decent phone for another $200.

You can get a Motorola Q for $99.

Or just burn your money!

Be aware, this week cpu pda wont be able to lunch some popular aplication such skype. I dont really understand HTC policy on this device. if it wasnt for the CPU this pda/phone will rock the market. it could be the ipod of the pda...but..200mhz procesor....im sorry guys but dismised...and if any manager from HTC is reading this post, "you lost a very good oportunity, maybe next year when you think over about this mistake."

Slow CPU spec.
The Omap 200Mhz processor seems as a bad choice, but maybe (hoping to the end) it performs acceptable. It could be the perfect MDA... Could it be that HTC choose the CPU in order to reduce power consumtion?
Well, we will all see shortly.
If it doesnt perform, I will buy the HP iPAQ hw6915.

Check out Gigabyte's g-Smart i300. Very similar specs, 416 MHz processor, 256 MB Flash, miniSD. Also Asus' P535, although no EDGE on that.

I fully agree : why why why. This seems to be a dream machine. Small, Thin, everything in it except horse power.
It could have been perfect for me.

For those in need of more info for this PC pocket, here is a great link on it:

http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=619

Few things to note, the weight is only 126 gramms which is unheard of for a size of this unit. It is also only 16.8 mm in thickness which is again one of the thiniest units around. The only other PDA unit that is similar is the O2 Orbit.

HTC comes with the pre installed AKU 3.0 software kit and TOMTOM Navigator 6. Something very few other PDA units have. I did a comparison wih the Orbit from the same site and have the link here for you;

http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer

As you can see alot of the specifications are identical accept for very few little things. I believe that these 2 units are on top of the class as far as weight, size, performance, style and being GPS ready.

How do we know the processor is only a 200Mhz wimp ? The marketing hype is extremely frustrating - no reliable details, yet the blogs keep telling us the product is officially released.

Whenever this happens (and Microsoft has evolved this FUD technique to an art form), I believe instantly that the missing details are not selling points

What chip is the GPS receiver, exactly ?

I bet any replies to this are not from HTC
