i think having 32mb included it's awesome and...whatta hell,spam comin' ur way:)here's a short version of the review! For my wap-browsin' pals:) I know i've always wanted to read reviews on wap:)
Mitac Mio 8380
Mitac is set to join other computer companies entering mobile phone production with the Mitac Mio 8380.This phone is based on the Microsoft Smart Phone 2002 Platform and is being marketed as a "digital lifestyle" product that will allow users to do things such as browse the web anywhere, chat online, play Java games, take photos and manage their information.
The Mio 8380 is triband (900/1800/1900) and supports class 10 GPRS. To take full advantage of GPRS, a cut-down version of Internet Explorer, an email client, and the MSN Messenger chat program are included. MMS messaging is also supported.
The phone has an integrated digital camera (110,000 pixels), a 2.2" 16-bit TFT display and an external 64x48 display. It is also one of the first to feature a SD/MMC slot for memory expansion. Unlike other phone manufacturers, who are generally quite stingy with memory (ex. Sony Ericsson T68i had 1mb, and the Nokia 7650 had 4mb), Mitac has decided to include 32MB ROM and 16MB SDRAM. With the inclusion of the Intel Xscale 200Mhz processor, this phone is more powerful than a typical desktop computer was 5-6 years ago!
The MS Smart Phone 2002 operating system is feature packed as it includes Pocket IE, WAP 2.0 browsing, Pocket Outlook email client, Media Player for playing MP3's and videos, and also supports Java MIDP 2.0.
After some contact with Mitac marketing, we have been told the phone will be relesed in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in June.
Internal screen of 2.2", external screen of 64x48 pixels
MPEG4 video encoder/decoder
Windows Media Player (can play MP3 files)
Nice huh?:)

Should have waited for the SPv E200.
It will be the first MS Smartphone (outside china) to run Windows Smartphone 2003.
The Mio runs Smartphone 2002.
I had a SPv E100, which also run SP 2002, and got rid of it after a month. Poor SMS support. Can't store ringtones on the SD card, etc.
You can find a lot of work-arounds, patches on the web to solve many of the shortcomings. But it's a pain in the ass to maintain.

I tried it
it was an awesome phone but EXTREMELY bulky
camera is amazing
screen, well I thought it was 262k colors
that's how good it is
fast menus
overall really good
but too chunky
