anyone know if/when we can expect to see some compact 3G clamshells? The current crop shows some promise, but the SonyEricsson Z800i and the (unavailable?) Samsung Z500 are still just a little too big.
Thought the Samsung Z140 could match the size of the Samsung E330, but then I saw it has an external antenna so it really doesn't matter. Being a fan of SonyEricsson I'm particularly interested if the statement here: http://www.mobile-review.com/review/sonyericsson-z800-en.shtml that "The next UMTS-clamshell by the company will appear in September, October 2005" is true.
also when will we see a phone in this rather specific category (3G compact clamshell with internal antenna) that is less expensive? I'd like to play with it on a cheapo new contract like MyChoice75 with a bundle or two, but why fork out about 2 grand for a phone when free is so much better?
