@bobafett - Yeah, it's all about the P800 model, but it was NOT the prototype, right It sure came out in the market.

@boba - i thought it was all about the P800 model, basing it also on the date it was posted way back in 2003 If ever, there should have BEEN a 'next' P800 prior to the P9 release? Or would this be sold BEFORE the original P800 one

i dont wish to discuss here any se models, it doesnt fit the thread...

Ericsson Quartzpad

This fully working Ericsson prototype was unveiled at CeBIT 2000 in Hanover, Germany, however since then it has been abandoned in favour of a lighter design running ER7/UIQ called Linnea (P800). Based on EPOC Release 6 Quartz, it was a fully functional tri-band mobile phone, wireless PDA, media player and much more. As well as support for GSM2, GPRS and 3G networks the device also used Bluetooth and an IrDA port to connect to other devices and peripherals. WAP was to be a standard feature and unlike the R380, it could display conventional HTML pages too. An earpiece looking similar to Walkman headphones was included (on a cable though a Bluetooth version is optional) to allow the user to leave the phone in their pocket while making calls or listening to MP3s, talking-books, live news & information services etc.

The 240×320, 256 colour touchscreen is used in portrait to operate the device though input is very simple and quick thanks to both the highly intuitive and efficient design of EPOC Quartz and the CIC Jot handwriting recognition that allows natural writing to be used without misreads or special pen sequences to be learned. Voice activation is also used to initiate calls and select options though it does not allow speech recognition so Emails, faxes and notes have to be either written or "typed" using the on-screen keyboard (an optional view). Applications are more closely integrated than in previous EPOC releases which makes it easy to get and use information used by other applications in the current program. The contacts database is now a server application allowing all standard and additional apps/functions to read from it and return information. You can move between any two applications in just one click thanks to the top navigation bar, and messages (Email, SMS, faxes etc.) can be sent received with equal simplicity. Another improvement is far better support for synchronising and conversion with a completely rewritten PIM application and improved PC conversion software for the EPOC platform as a whole.

Beyond the phone and PDA functions, the device is capable of playing MP3's and even streaming live video over mobile networks (Ericsson may wait for GPRS before they implement this). In fact Ericsson have been working with the BBC to develop a news and information service for Ericsson users who will be able to take full advantage of the video and audio content with devices like this. SDM cards are used for data storage (Including MP3's) rather than Compact Flash which provides better security for both personal data and Copyright protected material.
