As QWERTY slider WinMo sets go, HTC and Sony Ericsson have collectively thrown down a big-ass gauntlet that competitors are likely going to be struggling to match for some time. So it goes with the
glofiish M810, an HSDPA powerhouse that would've stolen the show 12 or 18 months ago -- but now it's got the
Touch Pro and
X1 to contend with, leaving the QVGA display and tired styling a bit tough to swallow. We suppose that a deep discount could still lure a throng, especially if Acer / E-TEN comes through with a Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade -- but until we all make that fateful decision, check out Pocket PC Thoughts' quick unboxing, live vicariously, and see if it feels right.

That's quite a design change compared to their older (and uglier) models. Looking forward to the review.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. The keyboard looks great, not only in terms of aesthetics, but in utility. It has LED indicators for CAPS and Fn. When the phone's closed, it has a minimalist design with those few buttons. And it looks thin. It's a pretty sweet looking phone. I'd get that.

The X1 may be laughing, but us consumers will not be when we have to sell a kidney to afford one.

Shoot, id buy one if the price was right. I dont care who makes it. If it could work with sprint im all for it.
Its more like HTC threw down a gauntlet....
But with all these Sliders, how come these guys seemed to figure out how cool that kind of keyboard would be and HTC did not?
