  Microsoft's On The Phone
Time: 14:40 EST/19:40 GMT | News Source: Forbes.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Now the wireless industry has its $36 billion question. Today U.K. carrier Orange will announce the launch of a mobile phone that runs on a variant of the Windows operating system manufactured by Microsoft. It is the software giant's first step into the relatively uncharted market for "smartphones"--the complex gadgets that allow users not only to chat, but also send and receive e-mails and digital photos, store detailed contact lists, track appointments and, in a more far-fetched sounding scenario, watch movies.

$260 is pricey? Have they not seen other phones that sell for $300+ that don't offer half the functionality?

I'm still waiting for my small little phone(no bigger than my Nokia 8290) that includes a interoperable bluetooth internet uplink so I can use it in conjunction with a pocketpc, laptop, etc.

Only then will this whole idea of pocket devices really take off. This vendor stuff bullshit irritates me.

JWM - Ok... Ericsson wins... Everybody else can go home now!

#7 -- That didn't stop them from selling Windows PCs. :-)

#11 -- Very, Very good point!

Except, of course, the answer's easy: Sony ain't good enough when it comes to software... but their hardware is slick as can be. DID anyone see their devices @ PC Expo this summer? They were outta-this-world!!!

#7 By 2459 (24.233.39.98) at 10/22/2002 5:29:11 PM
#10 -- The press release and spec PDF does not mention Bluetooth, so I don't think this model has it included. It may be offered as an accessory.

Nice find trade.

As soon as these hit the states I am going to pick one up.

One thing I would like to see is the same form factor with 20 gigs of space...

This device is an Palm/iPod/Sony/Nokia killer.

They have to be getting scared now. Awesome work MS.

You know, the phones use USB and SD. You could get a 256 MB SD Card, or maybe find an SD or USB microdrive interface.

Nice phones, Trade. With all the press "Stinger" has had since early 2000 or even earlier, I was beginning to wonder when they'd become a worldwide reality. Let's hope the current trend continues.

Any speculation on the next device? How 'bout a tablet phone? It could be about the size of a Post-it (tm) note and do all the fun stuff the SmartPhones and TableetPCs do.

#11 By 1913 (68.14.48.57) at 10/22/2002 10:37:15 PM
Here is the phone for people that preffers phone first, PDA second. I think with the price, this is a bargain. I would love to have one, but I'm already using a PPC PE Device from T-Mobile which I've managed to fix all the problems it has. =) I am enjoying using the device.

I must also admit that I like this one better than the Sendo by the way it looks.

BobSmith ...Microsoft has delayed Smart Display (Freestyle). It should come out early next year ...so I guess this will be the next one on the block.

#12 By 1913 (68.14.48.57) at 10/22/2002 11:44:07 PM
#24 ...Well I guess I'm not talking about you then huh?

By the way ...I am not talking about a Tablet PC here ...I'm talking about a Phone/ PDA or PDA/ Phone. Get it straight.

#13 By 2459 (24.233.39.98) at 10/23/2002 1:11:42 AM
The Smart Displays are Mira. Freestyle is the Windows Media PCs.

Re: The comments about Sony

Sony DID use Microsoft software for their mobile phones. They used Microsoft Mobile Explorer. Then just when Sony had committed to the next version of that software, Microsoft pulled the plug on it and left Sony stranded with new hardware and unfinished software to run on it.

Is it any surprise that Sony will not take any other MS phone products?

#28 -- 179 pounds
