AXIA manufacturer's site shows one, maybe two more WM5 smartphones

Along with the AXIA A308 that we brought you the other day, handset manufacturer VIPN (which stands for, rather puzzlingly, Voice Internet Phone Network) seems to have at least one and perhaps two more Windows Mobile smartphones in the pipeline, one or both of which could also include SIP 2.0 seamless VoIP-to-cellular handoffs. The model that clearly appears to be WM5-powered on VIPN's site is the candybar-shaped EMXI 700, which promises to be available in the second quarter of this year. Pictured alongside the 700 is the EMXI M5 clamshell, which shows a generic screenshot but is likely a smartphone due to the mention of WiFi, and is also scheduled to be released in Q2.

I wonder what processor it uses. After all, the OPAM850 isn't exactly ideal for VOIP as many HTC Tornado owners know all too well.

The EMXI 700 looks really similar to Motorola's stillborn MPx100...

if you guys look through their site, ALL of their phones have wifi, meaning what you guys think is a flip smartphone most likely isn't unless noted....their pocket pc phone with keypad looked really good, until you realize the super small screen and no mention of stylus and their claim of "smallest" ppc phone doesn't really make sense, compare the measurements to the O2 Atom and its still bigger....sorry "AXIA" but your vaporware still doesn't impress much...nice try...NEXT

Looks like a cheap-ass mobile. Will very certainly stop working after 1 year.
