RE: [aus-dotnet] Smartphones

Yep, mini-SD and mini-USB.

It's a path a lot of other mobile phone manufacturers are going down to help
reduce the mobile phone size.

Guess minimising the form factor == mobile phone is lighter!

My brother's Nokia 6230 also has the MMC card situated underneath the
battery (near the SIM card).

The good news is having it underneath means it is less likely you'll lose
the little mini-SD card.

>From memory, I think the MPX220 uses the standard SD cards.

I don't think pricing has been announced yet, but I would imagine that it
would be something akin to what the current IMate2/XPhone/Qtek8080 models
were selling for when they were released. 

Also, IIRC the two new phones below don't use regular SD cards - they use
mini-SD (which are smaller), and the slot isn't accessible externally (it's
underneath the battery) necessitating turning the phone off to change the
card, so I would advice getting the biggest SD card you can afford (or at
least one big enough to store a reasonable number of mp3s)

Cheers
Ken

>     I know that there was some discussion of smartphones a while back, but
just wondering if anyone here who may be 'in the loop' could give me some
info on any new phones that may be coming out in the next few months that
are more like real phones.  By this I mean regular size (say a standard
nokia), regular weight (around 100g), camera, maybe mp3.......
