I have looked all over but I can't find a launch date.

Thanks

Some time later this year is the most precise that I've seen so far.
I'd guess that they start appearing in stores in Q3 or so, but this is
still speculation.

I bet they will cost a pretty penny as well.

Any idea what a price range would be?

I would not be surprized to seem them in the $300 range

No, sorry. But I agree that your assumption may prove to be right.

I wonder what the battery life will be like. Given that current phones
measure standby time in days and pocket pc doesn't come anywhere
near that, it could be the deciding factor as to whether they take off.

Just a thought,
Paul.
