That's the real question isn't it: is anybody making anything 'thin and powerful' that isn't using Windows Mobile? (Yes, this question will bring every heckler out of the wood work).
Interesting that the full-length review says that Nokia, with the E61, started this craze (of 'thin and powerful'): I think some serious credit needs to go to Motorola for starting it with the Q. I'd also argue that the E61 is not quite that 'thin' as the dimensions (outside of the thin bottom section) are nearly identical to the HP 6500/6900 series - hardly a device folks would call 'thin.' But if you do agree that the E61/62 is thin then the 'who started it all' crown should probably go to the Canadians... but then we could have a discussion about 'smart' :)
