original Windows Mobile-based Treo-killer, the BenQ P50
above), has long passed its zenith in being lusted after, and was since given up upon and eventually more or less
forgotten. So yeah, you could say it comes as some small surprise to us that BenQ is resurrecting the vaporous handset
with Windows Mobile 5.0, and even throwing an integrated GPS receiver into the mix. They haven't given any further
information than that as of yet, so while we understand the integrated WiFi is still intact, we don't know if it's
still got the SDIO slot. But ultimately we're hoping for a few things here: namely that this handset won't cost more
than $800 (though we have a sneaking suspicion it may), that they'll have finally added at least EDGE, and that, you
know, they actually release
it this time. Just a thought.
]Update: Engadget Mobile's
got some more deets
for ya, if you
want 'em. For example, the SDIO's still there, huzzah.
