Re: Symbian - Psion - Crystal

<< Look at the communicator concept device here >>

"Her er drømmetelefonen! Tastaturtelefon med GPRS fra Psion"

The New Psion Phone Might look like this:.

The Register irreverantly had this to say about that:

"Pictures of Psion's successor to the Series 5 have been published by Norwegian site Wapland."

"Of course the pictures could simply be a creative use of Photoshop, inspired by the Nordic custom of drinking hallucinogenic reindeer urine - if the dubious but enduring myth can be believed. According to this myth, reindeers are fond of munching fly agaric, which is noted for its psychoactive properties, although why the Laps would take this circuitous route to delirium when the mushrooms themselves are lying around is beyond us. Maybe they're just taking the piss."

"It's the first time we've seen instances of the Crystal reference design, a half-VGA (320x240) keyboard-based specification on which Nokia and Psion will base the successors to their 9000 and Series 5 ranges. This may or may not eventually appear as a Psion 'Series 9' - and since it's every bit as much a phone as a PDA, Psion could well go for a new brand altogether."


Also: Supposedly Nokia has announced that their Crystal device will be debuted at its mobile internet bash in Prague later this month.
