Inventec Iris / Mercury Pocket PC


Yet another Pocket PC phone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard is coming... this time manufactured by Inventec, that was known from making Palm OS devices. This Palm OS business must be drying up so that they switch to Windows Mobile...


Highlights about this Pocket PC phone:
built-in bar code scanner!
the title says that the name of the phone is "Iris" but then "Mercury" is mentioned also in user manual
very popular design recently : Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone with screen and with a QWERTY keyboard that is sliding out from the side (not from the bottom)
mini-SD card slot
A2DP (wireless stereo over Bluetooth) support - standard feature of Windows Mobile though
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
GSM but no 3GSM
bar code scanner and lack of camera indicates that this phone will be rather sold for commercial/enterprise usage and not for end users (consumers)
