First there was Volkswagen, now there is Volks-PocketPC-phone: Yakumo PDA omikron available commercially in EU
January 26, 2004 [Pocket PC phone] | By anonymous 1.
We remember the times, when only businessmen were worthy of owning a Pocket PC phone - first it was "XDA" (lately replaced by XDA II) and later some other "top class" models. These times are over: now first cheap Pocket PC phones arrived to the market!
The "Yakumo PDA omikron" Pocket PC phone is now available commercially in some EU countries (for example in Germany). The price is laughably low: without subscription just 349 EURO! For this price you get full featured Pocket PC, GSM/GPRS phone and built-in camera:

This phone is a very powerful Pocket PC - it has even an USB host interface (you can connect for example a regular USB keyboard from your PC) - and a very good tri-band cellphone.
