Strange Unknown PDA apeears on ebay!!!

Posted this in the General forum, but thought you guys may be interested as well.
Just noticed this over at Coolsmartphone.com
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-Mega-Pixel-...38331QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=em300090753602
Appears to be a PDA with a 5MP Camera!!!
Beware though, says it has WM5 on it, however a closer look at the silver model reveals WM2003 and black has WM5.
Not a chance that i'll bid on that.
Any thoughts??
S.K.

It it is even remotely real then it is probably from Japan or Korea or something like that.
Otherwise I would say that it is just a scam. After all, a phone branded as "Pocket PC?" Come on...

Yeah, appearently Chinese OEM manufacturer.....

That PDA is one ugly mothe..........

Thats looks like some Photoshopped SE P910/Samsung love child!

That is a concept from some chinesse ODM from a long time ago circa 2004. I dont think it ever came to market but I remember seeing concept pics of it.

That is definately a Samsung "OK" button.
Googled for it and found something here.

It looks like cheap plastic.

"This Phone is OEM and made by Chinese Factories"

Nobody else notice this gem of a feature listed near the bottom of that auction:

Are you trying to say that your phone does not have a menstrual count?
Why not??

That my dear fellows is roughly (and if possible) a working Matrix Reloaded Samsung something something something,,,, look for it in the second film,,, they asked Samsung to make a highteck phone that they could market with the film,,, since it fell through the only ones ever made were live dummys used in the movie... (if ya look arounf on fleabay hard enough you can spot them,, dummys in a collectors tin ^_^) from the looks of it someone found out the designs and started tinkering to make a real phone
I dont think it is real though lol

Unfortunately I would totally agree on that. Was thinking that it could be a potential replacement of my Fuze, not so much now... How did they manage to make a pretty decent looking phone ugly how...

i suppose i won't pass judgement until i see it in person...but eh i can't get a new phone yet anways so ....moot point

we just added a few new photos and more details...like no 3.5 jack, talk time worse than the Fuze and a possible launch date before super Tuesday

Isn't the next "super Tuesday" in something like February 2012? When exactly are you referring to?

The super Tuesday being refered to is next Tuesday because that is the day Microsoft said it was releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 along with several carriers announcing availability of WM 6.5 phones. It is the official launch date for WM 6.5 basically.

if you walk into a store today you can buy one - 100%. Just ask nice and act innocent.

you should be able to get it today in NY at least. I played with the floor model for a bit. its not as ugly in person. its not ugly at all in person. it does look horrible on the box art though.

Apart from the AT&T branding, this is identical to the t-mobile Compact V..... the case, the silver inlay on the back, earpiece, ..... all the same.
Only thing I can't see is if it has the mini-usb cover on the bottom but I guess it has.
John

Yes, it's the same as T-Mobile MDA Compact V except logos on front cover.

Ok I have to ask, why do these carriers change the phones? I'm not just talking about the TD2. I prefer the original versions, not to mention the carrier branding, ugh.

Maybe
Perhaps its ugly, perhaps its got no headphone jack... Regardless, I'm probably buying one of these later today or sometime this week for analysis/experimentation It will be nice to have a phone smaller than my fuze tho... it is kind of thick (And yes, I'm aware its thinner because of the lack of keyboard). Ill post back here when i get it, and post whether or not its as bad as everyone thinks.

Welcome to the Revolution

This isn't exactly Dream related, but definitely Android related which is good for all of us, for those who aren't aware, sh!t just got real tonight as Verizon launched its first Droid(aka Sholes) commercial:
http://www.droiddoes.com
Not only is the commercial straight comedy in the best way possible(at the expense of Apple) but they keep it 100% real, no disclaimer required. I say bravo, wish T-Mobile had launched a campaign like this when the G1 rolled out, the commercial will play Sunday during the NFL games so people who missed it can view it in HD. Hey Apple, Welcome to the Revolution!

I was just watching that. Good for Verizon. Good for Android. I'll be sticking with my G1 and TMO but daddy has Verizon and he may be adding another line soon...
ilove it...Apple will "sauce" their pants

that was hilarious, i remember sir*mez saying something about that commercial last night.

Anyone notice that it says "DROID" is a registered trademark of lucasfilm at the bottom? Wonder if they're just allowing them to use the name or if there's more to it.
Would be funny if R2-D2 and C3PO ran android. I suppose R2-D2 would have a Hero rom and C3PO would have a motoblur rom, what with him speaking almost every language.

Lol I thought I was the only one that noticed the Lucasfilm trademark. That seems somewhat strange to me. Anyone else have any thoughts?

nice find.

hey haykuro
long time, no see around these parts. good to see you are still around or maybe making a comeback now that the traitior is out in the open

yeah, Droid is a registered trademark of lucasfilm, so it's licensed but unless I'm getting Obi-Wan'd this is definitely the Droid I am looking for. The specs on it are awesome, and allegedly it's as thin as the iphone with it's sliding qwerty, can't wait till HTC matches this and throws it on good ol' T-mob.

looks like the htc dragon will be, or at least the phone they are suspecting to be the dragon. it has a keyboard too, that is what i am gonna go for

lets sure hope so..... but in case it is a bust we have thissss

HTC HERO trails in 2nd place to Motorola Droid in this AdMob metrics taken in May 2010 from 12.7 million Android phones in the AdMob network.
Wouldn't you want to keep your most popular phone up-to-date HTC and Sprint???

I don't see the Evo on that. Outdated chart is outdated.

They should count the eris with the hero

Outdated? It's a month old.

Your not counting the HTC Hero GSM version.

The same Hero that won't receive anymore updates. =/

Yeah this is total bs! But thank god we have our devs.... Where there is a will there will continue to be a way (for us Hero users to have the latest and greatest)!

i would love my hero more if i could get the audio to quit dropping on me........
does anyone know how i can fix it?

i luv my hero =)

It's even more outdated then I though.
Point is, you can't say "your most popular phone," and then show an outdated chart, when they just released the Evo. The Evo is probably at or higher then the Heros level now.

Smart ass they won't have statistics until next month and the evo will most likely be up high on the chart. But just the fact that thehero is up this high really makes me wonder why HTC doesn't see a need to keep it updated.

After doing some looking around the list provided is the most current that is available regardless of the new phones that have been released. Kinda sad when this guy was trying to prove a point about HTC's and Sprints continuing support for one of its most formidable android devices and all anyone can do is knock him for it being an out dated list. Come on guys, if you are still using your Hero and plan to do so then cut him a break and agree to disagree. No matter how current the list is its not years old and it goes to show that us honored Hero users we are getting the middle finger from the big dogs and thats not cool. Wanna know why the droid surpassed the Hero? Cuz all of those god damn iphone loving ass bags that couldnt get it on VZW finally had something worth a damn. Plus not to mention all of the Apple cultist haters (myself included) that wanted badly to knock that damn swastika of an unholy iphone off its pedi stool.

The hero WAS the most popular phone until the evo came out and stole all of the thunder.

Well, until there are some statistics to prove it, as it currently stands, Hero is the most popular and most used phones HTC has out on any carer, anywhere and I also believe any OS.
I'm sure the EVO is going to be at the top next month but I wouldn't place my bets just yet. Don't forget that EVO is sprint only and hero has the GSM brother.
So once more... way to go HTC for not keeping your most popular phone up-to-date.

If the Evo and the Nexus mated!

BGR has published a picture of an upcoming HTC device destined for verizon. From the leaked specs it sounds like a real high end device. Anyone have more speculation on this device? Could be the first real device that tempts me away from my nexus. So far all the latest devices have not sold me on build quality, looks, and feel. This thing looks like the nexus taken to the next level!
Of course this is BGR so it is put up next to an iphail.

What the hell is that nasty ass iphone doing next to that beautiful device?
GRRRRR, I hate BGR so much.
Anyway, looks like an Evo for Verizon, nothing more.
All these devices are looking good, but personally I won't be upgrading until the next line of processors come out (1.5 GHz etc). No reason to switch to another phone if it has the same amount of power. That'd be a sidegrade.

that's the same sentiment that i feel, with the unknown time frame of Verizon's android releases, who's to say this thing wont be coming with the latest and greatest processor? In all reality it probably is just the Verizon version of the Evo, it sure looks a lot nicer than its sprint branded potential relative.
In any case, its the first new handset i have seen that actually physically looks on par or better than the nexus.

htc glacier is on my wishlist, what with a possible dual core, hellz yeah

What happened to the HTC Ace or Desire HD, a GSM Evo.
Unless its revolutionary in terms of processor,GPU etc, then im not too hopeful on leaving my N1.
Damn good looking, though. More of a comparison of a Desire and Evo mating IMO.
