Optima OP5-E Maemo Linux MID video-review

Video review of the worlds first Maemo Linux based MID alternative to Nokia. You can find more information at http://www.chinaoptima.com/ and inquire about it to shkwan@wtpacific.com

It has a 4.3" 800x480 resistive touch screen (capacitative at that size and price does not yet exist), 806mhz Marvell PXA310+ ARM processor, 128MB RAM, built-in 3G CDMA sim card reader (HSDPA version coming next month), built-in GPS, built-in Bluetooth, a high capacity exchangeable 2600mAh battery. All that comes for around $500 unlocked and could be sold at $300 or lower subsidized with a subscription plan from the carrier. It can support either VOIP and IM or regular voice and sms, that is up to the carrier how they want to integrate that feature.

Maemo Linux allows for many third party applications to be installed, after posting this first video, I will monitor the comments for suggestions for which other Maemo Linux applications that I should try to install on it, I will look at http://maemo.org and try to find some informations about how it's possible to upgrade this device with more applications and add more features to it.

good to know it. Dude, no offence, but maybe you can clear me this doubt. You used to smoke A LOT of marihuana, didn't you? cause i have this friend that quited smoking herb, but he still talks the way you do. Or maybe you just quited on something heavier (or maybe u didn't quit at all). Though, you seem clean to me right now. It's just an impression. don't take it so bad! cheers!

What about App's for this phone? I allready had some China Phones, which weren't bad, but now I've got a "original" HTC, because for my China Phones I didn't find any Apps...

Too huge

[elmundodefer]

Cool. So i guess you r just happy, and maybe even my friend talks funny just because (nothing to do drugs, like you. I mean i don't even know for sure if drugs can affect the way my friend talks). i'm glad for you! and i'm glad you didn't take it so badly. Myself i use some weed sometimes (very few times). But no big deal. :) Anyway thx for answering. Nice vid and have a good year!
