Windows Phone Thoughts: Zenum Opus Opteris: You Mean It's For Real?

"As well as in order to refute the voices that had classified the Opus Operis as “to vaporware” we are in a position to showing in exclusive preview the first real images to you of the device, not as soon as exited from the laboratories of the producer. We remember that the design is work of pluripremiato designer the Jaren Goh."



We had our doubts when the first shots of this device hit the Internet - now it appears that there's some substance to what originally looked like a product design exercise. PocketPCItalia.com has exclusive preview photos of the Opus Opteris (Google translation here), with the addition of the camera cover the most obvious difference with the original concept design. In addition, Zenum has issued a press release (warning: direct pdf link) claiming a March 2007 release date, with some details on the phone's specifications. The Opus Opteris is certainly a stylish looking device, though I have my doubts as to the ergonomics of the keyboard and the specifications are strictly ho-hum. Still, it makes a sharp contrast to the generally utilitarian look of most Windows Mobile phones. Thoughts anyone?
