If Pats model can do all that my XDa could for that price I couldn't complain. If it was also available with GPS receiver built it I would be converted. Most important element to me is that it has a reliable battery life and works as a phone (Calls/SMS) I could live without Mobile 6, MMS etc. As Damien says above its the whole package that's the buiness I have a device (XDA with slide screen, cant remember model).. my only gripe is that it doesn’t have a built-in GPS receiver, brutal battery life and runs hot!

Personally I see this as a product for people who know a bit about phone who will be purchasing the SIM card alone for use in an existing phone. It might not be specifically stated in th promo but aI am asuming you can subscriibe to cubic WiFi with any WiFi enabled phone. Any confiramation on this?

If you think that the success of a phone is reliant on a version of windows on a mobile you really need to do better analysis.

You cannot launch a device based on Windows Mobile 5, when a Windows Mobile 6 is out for so long. It is like Dell marketing their new laptop as a fantastic Windows ’98 device. Or a new Sony TV that,.. is just not flat? The problem is that the device they sell as a Business device, is from some other century.

A couple things I noticed: accuracy is not there on the website(in the FAQ it declares a savings of over &5% in one example; I took out mu calculator its only 58%) This is not acceptable marketing. When you present something as a value product don't exagerate the numbers this will only make it appear as a scam. I do not believe anything is intentional(more likely an oversight) but still they need to fix that. My other issue is that this is being promoted as a value product. Device prices are up on the site. The low WiFi cubic prices are up. The very very significant MAXroam prices for gsm are not. This is in bad taste at the least. I really hope that the product does not actually go for sale without clear disclosure of all pricing. That is really not all that uncommen in the US telecom market(sometimes you call a CS person and they have no way of pull up rates to for example european mobile phones.) I expect a product from an irish company to have the sort of very comprehensive rate listing normal for european telecom companies. Overall sound like a good product.
