Not quite the VGA/keyboard/bluetooth P800 companion of my dreams but since the Sharp SC700 lacks integrated BT it might have to do (and the investment on MS-Duo sticks for the P800 would be leveraged too...).

Coming to think of it, this new sony device might end up being the one that hurts most the P800 because the 2 piece camp will choose it + a smaller cameraless BT+GPRS mobile instead of the P800.

Why oh why no BT on this baby?

I definitely agree that the sort of combination might hurt the p800.
But i'm not in the two piece camp,so the p800 is still number one for me.

Wow,i love the Sharp,cool design,Great OS 😃
I dont know why is there no BT on it,well its not a kernel issue for sure.

Switching to MiniPC: I dont like it,bad design,its too small for a laptop,too big for a PDA,and they say that the good thing about it is that it can run WindowsXP?
I dont think so.

To me the NZ90 is a complete waste if you have the P800. Many functionalities are duplicates, namely some basic PDA features such as calender and tasks and multimedia features such as MP3 and video player. On top of that, in my opinion, the P800 has much better (more pratical) and useful communication options, for obvious reasons. The major difference is that they put a 2.0 mp 2x zoom full colour camera on the NZ90 compare to VGA 24-bit colour on the P800; And that the NZ90 does come with 802.11b wireless network expansion option, but P800 has GSM/GPRS which is still the more realistic way at least for the moment. Well, you be the judge.

I know some duplicate functions but 480x320 web browsing and physical keyboard emailing/SMSing are nice.
