Now this is totally cool. The last jog dial i had was on a sony portable phone 5 years ago, it is very easy to use..one thumb control, one hand. So much easier that cdma 2.5 "toggle english". "Microsoft has two operating systems for wireless devices. Already on the market are wireless handhelds running Microsoft's Pocket PC Phone Edition. Those products can make phone calls but have a large screen and lack a number pad. By contrast, devices running Smartphone 2002 look like slightly bulkier cell phones, with a jog dial for one-handed dialing and browsing of contacts and other information. Suwanjindar said Microsoft believes the ultimate market for the kinds of devices that will run Smartphone 2002 is much larger than that of wireless handhelds."
