BTW, are you not worried about bending or even cracking the 1930's thin frame? Philippe Radley

You have a point there, Philippe, but you also have to remember the screen _is_ 640x480, and there's only so small you can make screens with that sort of resolution and keep it readable, I guess. The e800 is really a prototype unit, too, so I think we can expect the size to improve in further models as they appear.
I just sat my ipaq on the T615, and they are close enough to be exactly the same width. The ipaq is about one cm shorter, and noticeably thinner. It still feels very robust, though, and I've never been afraid of bending it. I _am_ nervous about cracking the screen, as I would be about any device like that that sits in my pocket, so if I'm going out or doing anything that might be hazardous (to the PDA, not me
), I slip it into the leather case I have for it. That makes it a little thicker, but I can live with that
