Does the name OQO ring sound familiar? If so, then that's probably due to their tiny little UMPCs, including their latest and greatest, the OQO model 2.

Engadget Mobile picked up the image below on a Chinese site of what seems to be OQO's first foray into the Windows Mobile market, the G900. Now, I had definitely seen this before... and it's turns out it's also been seen as the zzzPhone... which means it's already actually been mini-reviewed on 'teentechblog'!

The device packs WinMo 6.1 Professional, a 624Mhz processor, quad band GSM connectivity, 2.5" QVGA screen, QWERTY, GPS, 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, 2MP camera, microSD, Bluetooth, WiFi and a 1080mAh battery.

No word as yet on whether this device will see a European release but I REALLY doubt it, and I don't imagine too many of us will be upset! That said, c'mon OQO, you CAN do better!

IIRC the ZZZZphone ( the one you could 'customise', right?) didn't *actually* run windows mobile and the screenshots were winXP photoshopped on!
Standard twin-sim knockoff type phones running a java O.S from what I remember. I doubt *very* much OQO would OEM from them. Looks more like a palm to me = HTC.

My OQO model 1 is *very* well made and I doubt they'd risk their rep on a 'ebay special' as these zzzphone's are.

There are 2 different models of the zzzphone, the dodgy linux one and the windows one. Allegedly.

Interests:The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Call me crazy....but I like the size and looks of it! (Or do I just have WinMo withdrawl and will take ANYTHING?!)
