i never said, it has to be a successor to gta02.
the only other phone in the pipeline had the name gta03 and its  
development has stopped. period.

this is merely hairsplitting (and, no offense, just because you think i am  
wrong does not mean you are right), but here goes:
one or more of the following

- newer/better hardware
- improved functionality (f ex wrt standby time, power consumption)
- different device

i am sure, we can spend days on end with attempts to find a definition of  
development that everybody agrees to, but what purpose would it serve?
i said it how i see it and so far no information has convinced me that i  
am wrong here.
