Now fully for retail in China. Cost is about 1000 YUAN = $150 USD locally in China.

Packaging and looks1.1 Packaging and accessoriesPackaging is typical Ramos flair, but without the legendary wooden case. A little disappointed.

Overall style is still pretty active and modern, with the box expressing an entertaining and social lifestylehttp://attachment.imp3.net/home/201005/27/487511_1274930693mJMy.jpg1.2 AppearanceYep. Overall it does has design cues from the iPod Touch, but it looks pretty good. Face-on is a big screen, thin frame, so overall size is pretty similar to typical 4.3" devices.

The back is beautiful, but at the same time a finger-print magnet. Those of you who care about that sorta thing ought to go get a full sleeve for it.

Charger and headphone jack is the same connector - a special flat connector:

Other than Android's typical menu, home, back keys, there's the additional the back key, volume up/down keys, and power keys distributed along the top and right edges of the device. The buttons light up momentarily upon depression.

Needs a MUCH larger display. Might as well use my 4.3'' EVO 4G.

Price is killing for 4.8" device with Android 1.5it could be a major success for 120$, a moderate with price 150-170$ but not so high

 

[xaueious]

With the components (high quality LCD display, capacitive touch), I doubt the pricing is going to dropThe devices are retailing for $150 in China right now. So internationally they will be more expensive as they hit ebay and other web stores.

".. The devices are retailing for $150 in China right now."not even that much, if off ebay I can get 3 day UPS Worldwide Express from Hong Kongplus the Eken for $112.. that UPS shipping method cannot be that cheap. So the device I was watching just sold for $62.

[/quote]been waiting for this thing to come out....its a dead sexy lookin piece of hardware thats for sure

How come everyone acts like this is a low-priced device. The cheapest I've seen it is for $200 pre order... and who knows if it will actually sell for that price. Seems pretty expensive for a 4.3" device which has some pretty stiff competition.

I'm sure we'd all agree that half an inch more makes a difference :
