CeBIT America 2003
Sprint PCS was displaying its latest models for business users, including a full lineup of PDA phones. The Hitachi G1000 is the first Pocket PC device with a built-in keyboard. It's rather bulky and a bit heavy, but between the keyboard and the VGA camera, it's what a lot of business users have been waiting for, and it should be quite successful.
The i500 fills another void - a full-fledged PDA/phone with the size, convenience, and durability of a normal cell phone. It's impressively small. The lack of external display may turn off some phone users, but for anyone who needs the smallest possible PDA/phone, the i500 can't be beat.
Also shown was the Sony Ericsson T608, the first CDMA phone with integrated Bluetooth for North America. Besides Bluetooth, it also represents the first CDMA phone with a real "GSM feel" to it. By that, I mean it has all of the thoughtfulness and "polish" that GSM users have come to expect from the major manufacturers like Nokia and Sony Ericsson. The user interface, in particular, is head-and-shoulders above the interfaces on most CDMA phones.
