I remember very well what was on their site. The Cookie was on there for a long time. Along with 2 other versions called
Grace
Swiftie
. They differed by OS and by connectivity and touch They we're all labeled EB600 for a time.
EDIT: i may have the pictures mixed around. I cant find the original page which described each and there was also a version of the what i have labeled as Grace , which had a keyboard
And the original design for the PB 602 was the one below
Looking at my emails with Netronix at the time i found I still have aPDF from around the middle of last year showing some designs including the early EB500 which looked like the first designs for the PB360. I've attached it.
It in fact was PB's design which grew from the russian forum. My emails from June of last year confirm that

As to your questions, EB500 is a monopoly customize product of our client so this model is not available for selling. If you are very interesting in this size, you could choose to open a new tooling and housing for your project.

Thats why it was later removed. It was only for PB and not for general sale. The design the Opus uses is/was the design for sale to other brands.
Re-watch the video by Charbax from Computex 2009
You'll see the final design for the PB360 shown(albeit with the Netronix firmware) as well as the EB600 Cookie design and the others. I remember it well because that's what started me down to the path to actually opening my webstore.
It wasnt 2 years though it s only been a little over a year since those designs were first put on their site.
edit part deaux: my memory is not as clear as I thoguht but with more email reading its clearer. At one point around June of 2009 Netronix was labeling two identical looking devices as Cookie and Grace. The differences were that Cookie was to be sold to companies that wanted to have it connect to their store exclusively. Grace was to be wifi etc. without touch panel and lock in etc
They have applied those labels (cookie,grace and swiftie) to several different designs including some that were meant for Mentor only
