i havnt try 2gb yet... but i got great hope it can... coz at that time their spec is maximum 1gb but i think they will keep updated us wif new firmware and make it as huge as it can be... i saw forum in which se p900 upgrade wif p910 firmware n successfully increase the storage limitation... of coz they oso need to change the screen resolution... hehe... btw... i oso like this phone as much as u do... u cant find another ppc phone which such size wif built in qwerty n full feature except 3G... Of coz GPS u can add on wif bluetooth or sdio... i plan to buy a sd mobile camera n use microsoft portrait to make video calls... hope microsoft portrait can hav a patch on benq p50 digital camera driver soon... fully utilise ur gadget man... cheers...

np man... btw im hoping to get a full package phone like SE P990i which has 3G n wat ever that P50 got... The onli things i prefer is still PPC OS instead of symbian OS... but i like the way SE make their phone battery life so long... i still own a SE T610 for over 2 years now but still can use for whole weeks w/o recharging... hope to get a full package phone like wat P50 does + 3G + GPS... i dun like dopod 900... so big... n pricey... make it the smallest like wat P50 does... cheers guy...

The website is not working so I could not download the latest firmware. The phone I bought has the 1.11 firmware installed on it.

Anyother place I can download the latest firmware?

Thanks.

not a perfect but a better WindowsED PDA phone.
built in all the needed hardware and software but the older Windows for mobile 2003 is not recommended.
