My Dear Dan - You are quite right - the Nokia 9290 is quite a beauty - I saw one on demo at a trade show a few months ago. This phone may indeed use the flash memory made by AMD - although the specific "innards" may set us back a bit: Improved Performance, Shortened Development The speed provided through Intel StrongARM SA-1100 microprocessors and Intel XScale microarchitecture improves the performance and shortens the development cycle for data-enabled cell phones. Development options span the spectrum from traditional PDAs (with handheld computer functionality and occasional communication) and data-enabled cell phones (with voice communication and enough data capability to support an address book and basic messaging). Ericsson, Nokia, and Psion are already shipping these devices. Other manufacturers such as Kenwood, Motorola, Panasonic, Sony, and Siemens, are developing Symbian OS phones using these solutions. At the same time, key technology providers such as RealNetworks, PacketVideo, Oracle, and Beatnik are ensuring that cell phones have all thenecessary functionality for a successful handheld ommunicator. Symbian OS Symbian OS is a common core of application program interfaces (APIs) and technology shared among all Symbian OS phones. It includes the kernel, middleware for communications, data management, and graphics and application engines. This technology is driving much of the current development of reference designs for communicators (like the Nokia 9290 Communicator) and smart phones (like the Ericsson 380 Smartphone). The Nokia 9290 Communicator (for the US market) is a data-centric device with a keyboard for advanced text input, as well as fully-integrated voice functionality. The Ericsson R380 Smartphone, is more a voice-centric device, offering a browser for data retrieval and more limited text input. www.intel.com/update/departments/wireless/wi10011.pdf Reggie
