George Christodoulo: At the spa.

David Lawrence: Oh the spa.

George Christodoulo: Now we are talking. I mean this is a diamond show case piece.

David Lawrence: Yeah that*s true here you go alright.

George Christodoulo: Other things I mean obviously you have your contacts now this phone let me take a back step. It*s a Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone OS. To put that in layman*s terms, it*s basically what you see on your PC in the form, fact over the form. So with that you have your Normal Outlook Program where you have your contacts. You have your calendar or you have your tasks for the day, notes or whatever it may be. So in doing that now you have it all to go, you know wirelessly.

David Lawrence: There is a difference between full fledge PDA functionality, with styles input and actually Windows Mobile. It*s like a subset of the full PDA Pocket PC right.

George Christodoulo: What*s interesting is and we love this phone over at CNET the AudioVox. It*s a candy bar and most of the real-estates that you can*t see it here on the show. Most of the real-estates of this candy bar phone is devoted to screen, that's unusual. Typically the screen is one third the key pad and the input is two thirds. They have flipped the formulae here which we really like it*s exceedingly light. The density is very low on it. And the other thing about it that we like a lot is the fact that its got a very solid feel, a bright display, its got interesting a rolly-scrolly button on it there, it*s a global rock of the year. You roll up and down to navigate yeah but that rolling, it*s a good rolling log in the middle of the key pad there, it*s very cool and very intuitive. One of the things that is, the only thing that holds it back is it doesn*t require the keyboard, there is no room for it. And that is going to steal your point of what*s a Smartphone versus a PDA. A lot of times it*s the same software but the keyboard defines it. I mean Pocket PC 2003 is a very powerful operating system but the keyboard unlocks more power with hands on the keyboard.

David Lawrence: Sure, right and this has predictive typing, does it use T9 or does it use something else?

George Christodoulo: Yeah.
