@Tekka: Thanks for your kind words about the review. Let me tell you what I have discovered so far about the memory.

When using WinCE, you can go to the Control Panel, and choose SYSTEM. On that screen the very first tab reports the current memory available to the device. When looking at this device, it reported like 130,000 (128MB). I thought to myself, that isn't right. It should be 256MB shouldn't it? So then I went to two other devices that are definately 128MB (my SmartQ7 and the W1010 I have here for another review). Know what they said? 64MB.

The conclusion I have come up with is that Eletroworld is absolutely correct. The device partitions half of the available memory for the operating system itself. So although it says 128MB in the Control Panel, it is actually 256MB.

Now, my belief is that the trouble with web browsing and internet explorer on W1060 is not due to the hardware itself, but the firmware. It is definately workable, as you simply need to go into control panel and adjust the memory available to programs vs memory used for storage. If you are doing regular browsing (not youtube or pages that are heavily coded), you won't have any problems, especially if you only keep one browser window open. I think they will fix this issue very soon.

I also agree with Ben, that Lencho Lee is a very good guy and works hard to make sure his customers are happy. Alex over at Eletroworld is the same kind of person and we are all lucky we have some good reps over there to help us out.

Hope this helped!

@imaredr: Talked to Lencho last night and WitsTech is asking that we hold off on the firmware until mid December. They said they have a major update we can have then with many improvements. I know, its a wait, but according to Kathy at WitsTech, the screen rotation utility will be included as well. I'm also told the Android implementation is close.
