Look the phone on the left no freakin' camera, just send me one, I will blog about it's grown up coolness and even pay the invoice you send me afterwards Please HTC Please.
For the record if HTC or anyone else for that matter send me one with no invoice in the box I WILL KEEP IT just so you know, and if you can't tell I already think it is cool.
Currently we know HTC Wizard 110/100 will run Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, integrated QWERTY keyboard, bluetooth, WiFi and support EDGE. HTC Wizard 110 comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera. The HTC Wizard 100 will not have the camera module, great for those who can't use camera phone at work.

So out looking to find the fabled i-Mate with no Camera I found this. How cool to be able to slack off at work and blame Computer Vision Syndrome .
Details
> Wide angle view
> Anti-glare surface
> Sleek design blends into office environment
> Suits all monitors
> Easy installation
> High quality

The imate has been designed to help people who use computers. In many working environments, computers are situated in a corner or against a wall. This means that the computer user will:
> Have their back to their colleagues and the environment
> Be left with little else to look at, other than their screen
This situation means that the user is more likely to:
> Suffer Computer Vision Syndrome (eye strain)
> Feel a sense of isolation
> Be vulnerable in terms of personal and document security
The imate has been designed to help overcome these problems. It helps remove the sense of isolation and vulnerability users have when facing a corner and it helps in the effort to reduce eye strain.

I have many customers who make everyone through the door surrender any device with a camera. Why can't I get a decent phone without a camera in it? I'm not 12 years old after all.
So make a version of this with NO CAMERA and I might be there...
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Camera
2.0 megapixels
So how about a Windows Mobile 5.0 Device with Bluetooth, 802.11G, 3G compatible for quick mail connectivity or even some very basic remote server management, but NO CAMERA quick send me one.
I think the MPX 200 in my pocket will not run forever but I'll persist with it until it dies if I have to.

Looking at Lorna Farrar, the Small Business Partner Marketing Manager's
new Blog I found this competition. Now you do need to be a Small Business Specialist to enter so there should be a huge field with high quality entries. Now if I could get access to the local entries to
help me develop speakers I'd be stoked.
The competition is only open to SBSCs - and you can win to win a $3,000 (USD) travel voucher to be applied toward a trip to the 2007 Small Business Symposium which will be held in Denver, Colorado on the 9th of July 2007, in conjunction with the Worldwide Partner Conference. Entries will be accepted up until February 5, 2007.
All you have to do is make a 10 Minute Demo of Vista and Office 2007 working together. Hey that is what we will be doing in February
The Small Business Specialist Partner Demo Contest will recognize Microsoft Small Business Specialists actively enrolled in the Microsoft Partner Program who present the most compelling demonstrations of the Windows Vista operating system and 2007 Microsoft Office system working together (“Demo”).
Oh yeah nearly forgot good luck in the new role Lorna and Best wishes in Redmond to Bill too.

Firstly I think the idea of this competition is great and if I could get a list of everyone who submits an entry from the ACT it would really help me out with developing speakers for the Canberra Windows User Group.
I'll blog about the competition separately but when did Canada become one of the shunned nations?? If it is for another reason perhaps a separate line may have made it less amuzing. Still snickering about this .....
This Contest is void in Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and the province of Quebec in Canada.
