Windows Phone Thoughts: Confirmed Details on the Pocket LOOX N500 and N520

FirstLoox.org has just published what is believed to be confirmed details on the upcoming Pocket LOOX N500 and N520. Rumours have been flying everywhere, but it's strongly believed that the N500 and N520 will represent two of four of Fujitsu-Siemens' upcoming next-generation Pocket PCs.

The N500 will feature GPS, 64MB RAM and 64MB ROM, while the N520 goes one step further to provide GPS, 802.11g Wi-Fi, 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM. Both the N500 and N520 are to be released at the end of October 2005. Other points worth noting - the integrated GPS is based on the SiRFstar III chipset, and will include an integrated antenna as well as an optional port for attaching an external antenna. In addition, the primary hardware buttons and D-pad will be illuminated by a blue LED (always a good colour combination, in my opinion). ;) Other details have yet to be revealed, but what is known is that the N500 and N520 (and Fujitsu-Siemens' two other next-generation Pocket PCs) will be running on Windows Mobile 5.0.
