W-zero3: Zaurus Killer?

[enodr]

I just found that while surfing on sharp.jp website:

http://www.sharp.co.jp/ws/function/spec.html

Do you think this device would boot a zaurus linux rom?

Is the thing even out yet??  Is there an english page??  I've given up on trying translation software, never gives good results.

As a phone, it uses PHS - not much use outside Japan.

Do a search on "W-Zero3" and you'll find several threads where it has already been discussed.

Interestingly enough, the VP of R&D at Sharp Japan who initially worked on the Z project is the man who headed up the W-Zero 3.

but there's hope they might release a 3G/2.5G version for UK/Europe...

Just to note: a new model has been released, a slimmed down version that swaps screen-size for a phone keypad:

Also worth noting is that at the announcement, the Sharp representative apparently mentioned that Sharp intends to continue the Zaurus line as well.

Ahh.. but will they update the software? (especially will they release a concurrent update for existing zaurii??)  I guess that matters less and less with 3rd party development, but still...

200 - without backlight or minimum backlight
100 - with backlight or with maximum backlight

is there a way to let Sharp know that the 'Q' is -again- in the wrong place?
