Looks like a great geek phone but missing one thing that geeks will pass up on - only has Windows 2003 instead of Windows Mobile 5. That's sooo 3 years ago. Smile

WM5 is the only way to go.

Do you guys think the device will be upgradable to Windows Mobile 5?

My guess is no.

Thanks for the help.

I think that's crazy that the "power house" from last round is now the only new device that comes out with WM2003?

Verizon doesnt even sell the i830 anymore. They do sell the i730 though. Which is almost the same as the i830 except you get wifi with the i730. You do not get a camera (but who cares, 1.3mp camera's stink). And there are ways of getting a pocket PC to work on other networks.
