This phone is cool. Small and cool. I posted about Neonode N1 a while back ago but haven't thought about it much since, to be honest. But am I glad this thing will happen, or what!? Neonode N1 is a Smartphone 2002 (it's Windows CE, at least) with a number of interesting modifications. The screen is a touch screen and has a built-in camera despite its exteremly small size! The Swedish cellphone and PDA magazine Mobil has had the opportunity to play around with a beta device. According to them Neonode N1 will be available in February 2003.
Be sure to check out Neonode's really fresh site, and more stunning pictures!
UPDATE: I posted about this phone already in April. It wasn't clear then either, whether or not this is a Smartphone 2002 device. Since it doesn't follow the official Smartphone 2002 specifications, including the use of a touch screen, I doubt it is. It is surely Windows CE, however. Microsoft PR says they won't confirm or deny the "rumors about the Neonode N1". They then add: "There's lots of room for innovation on the Smartphone platform and Microsoft looks forward to a range of form factors from handset vendors, OEMs and ODMs."
My April post about Neonode N1 said it should have been available this summer. While overly optimistic schedules are common in this market, I am afraid they don't add credibility. If Neonode now says February, they should stick to it or beat it until they have something to sell, in my opinion.
