If you guys would like to make yourselfs and ideea on how appreciated this PDA-phone is, let me just tell you that it has already won the iF Design Product Awards, this before it was even launched.

In terms of specs the P526 presents itself in a more then decent way, the lack of 3G connectivity beeing the only big downside, though it is said this drawback will be fild toghether with the next models. It has Quad-band GMS/GPRS/EDGE support for global roaming, WiFi, 2 megapixel camera all in a thin (15.4mm) and light (115g) package. Also the new P526 has a very functional scroll wheel on the left side of the device, together with a very good GPS in the form of the SirfStar III chipset and it’s Windows Mobile 6 Professional compatibily, puts the word “smart” in this smartphone.

From the Zenum new website i could find, that this new PDA has some nice specs, but becouse of it’s delay, it runs on a Windows Mobile 5.0, while other new devices work on Windows Mobile 6.0. Other then that the Opus Operis has the following specs: a OMAP 750 200Mhz processor, 64 of RAM, and 128 internal storage plus a MINI SD of 1GB.

From a connectivity point of view, this tri-band PDA(GSM900/DCSI1800/PCS1900) will offer GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi b/g, and Bluetooth 1.2.

All this, togheter with it’s 2.0 megapixel camera and 2.5″ TFT LCD display, makes the Zenum Opus Operis a mid-price PDA, with it’s likely business target as Europe, as it’s low frequency processor can’t compete in the USA.

The Zenum website doesn’t state a launch date, other then saying it will be released “in spring”, neither does it state anything about the price. A detailed review will be available when the Opus Operis will be launched.

The handset is scheduled for a release later this year, under E-TEN’s own Glofish brand and it’s the company’s first product to feature
3G connectivity. CeBit is the world’s largest fair showcasing digital IT and telecommunications solutions for both work and home environments.

Every year it attracts several thousand international exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of visitors. The ones that will be visiting E-TEN’s booth will be able to experience the company’s latest device that targets consumers and professionals with an active lifestyle, always on the move.

The handset runs the newly announced Windows Mobile 6 software platform that offers new and richer ways to edit documents and e-mails, improved usability and more powerful mobile functions, ensuring that business users will always have the needed tools at hand for increased productivity.

E-TEN’s new handset will come with 3G, HSPDA/WCDMA support. For the moment, the rest of the spec sheet is unknown, but it will be revealed as soon as the handset is on display at CeBit.

The Taiwanese manufacturer will also be displaying their two most recently released handsets, the Glofish X500, a sleek-looking 15.5mm Pocket PC and the M700 that comes equipped with a sliding keyboard.

All of the E-TEN products offer all-in one connectivity with GSM, WiFi and GPS support and include a Samsung CPU running at 400 Mhz and 128MB of Flash ROM. E-TEN’s handsets generally came packed with lots of advanced features, the only thing that was missing up until now being 3G support.

It will probably be a good device for both home and work use, bringing several business specific features as well as multimedia capabilities.

Asus’ P3xx handset will also come equipped with a 2.0 megapixel camera and a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion allowing the users to store a larger number of files.
