Hello,

last night at the Braunschweig LUG I had the opportunity to play with a
Neo1973 myself and I'd like to share some impressions.

The hardware is very nice. The black material of the black/silver model has
a rubbery feel to it. The phone is large, but it's not as bad as I had
feared. It's thinner than a Sony Ericsson P800. The screen is excellent.

The software seems a lot worse than the hardware at the moment. Every
reaction to user input is slow. The GUI is quite pretty but the speed is
worrysome. What CPU is going to be in the upcoming faster version?

I published some pictures of the phase0/1 phones at
