Overall its a nice mobile Internet device, but only 2 GB of storage is strange, though it has MicroSD for add on storage, you also might miss the normal USB port as it only comes with 1 mini USB port.
Currently it is only available in Taiwan and is selling for $424 without contract.
The iPhone may be credited as the device that first made the mobile internet a truly enjoyable user experience through its large touchscreen display, and similar handsets are being produced. But this is only one side of the move away from the desktop as the main point of contact with the web. The other side of the development will see television and the web fully converge, giving a more complete and interactive experience.
