GIVEAWAY: Proporta Alu-Leather case for HP 514

The box pictured below is very afraid of being thrown into the bin by this lovely critter - she has grown tired of it sitting on our TV set and now wants to throw it out:

Please have mercy with the box - it contains a perfectly-ok and completely unused Proporta Alu-Leather case for the hp ipaq 514 business messenger. It was intended to be reviewed along with the unit, but somehow the review wasn’t completed in time. It has never ever been used, but the screw for the belt clip has been lost:

I am now willing to give it away for free to anyone who is willing to cover the posting fees(about 7€, can be paid via PayPal).

Jokes and Doris aside…our friends at Proporta’s have allowed me to give away this sample as I personally don’t have such an iPaq. In case you feel like giving it a pop, just email me at Tamog@gmx.at and we’ll figure out how to get it to you the fastest/cheapest way.

Samsung i-200 low-end Windows Mobile smartphone

Samsung has just announced the following, pretty cool-looking Windows Mobile Standard box called i-200:

The specs at GSMArena’s look rather average - the device has a MicroSD slot, a QVGA screen and a 2MP camera. It does not have WiFi or a infrared port, but does ship with BT2.0 and a triband HSDPA GSM radio.

As of now, not much further information is known - please stay tuned for further info!

P.s. Samsung has had a long history of both not shipping devices and of shipping devices en masse. If this phone falls into the second category and gets adopted by carriers, it could very well mean hundreds of thousands of potential new WMS users in the market for third-party software.
