In the "at least it's not the same old, same old" department, AVING has spotted a handset from Sharp that looks and acts like a MID.  The 9225H is surprisingly small and thin yet has a Sharp Zaurus-like keyboard inside that looks pretty darn functional.  It has a 3.5-inch wide VGA screen and a little LED display on the outside while in handset mode for phone functions.  This will probably never step foot out of Asia but it's great to see something totally different.

Unfortunately, with their history of dropping the baby on consumers, I would personally hesitate getting something from them unless they start showing some commitment to their product lines.
