Comments on: Flybook V5 spotted again. http://www.umpcportal.com/2007/01/flybook-v5-spotted-again Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:35:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Barry George http://www.umpcportal.com/2007/01/flybook-v5-spotted-again#comment-8197 Barry George Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:59:20 +0000 http://www2.umpcportal.com/?p=2031#comment-8197 My Flybook V5 is the ONLY sytem that can share a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM with a Blackberry. I use AT&T. In less than 50 seconds I can pop my Blackberry Sim into my V5 and immediately recieve VOICE & DATA. Since I use a Dual Bluetooh headset by Callpod, when a call comes into to my SIM, in either V5 or Blackberry Curve, I just push the headset button & go. Also the thing I missed most about leaving Treao for Blackberry 2 years ago was no touch screen. The V5 has a touch screen with tablet functionality ... AWESOME. All in all, I am saving $2,200+ having to use only 1 SIM (no PC Card, no 2 years @ $70/month) and don't need a GPS.

The idea of having the mouse buttons in such a position is that you can hold it with two hands and use it like a UMPC tablet. I've tried it, it works! (Same principle on the V33i.).<br />Here is an example:<br />http://www.carrypad.com/gallery/v/kohjinsha/IMG_2571.JPG.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1<br /><br />plus it is convertible so you can use it as a tablet PC. I agree its on the high-limit of UMPCs but its certainbly something to consider.<br /><br />Regards.<br />Steve/ Did you watch the video?

It's not a UMPC. There is not way that you can use this device while you are standing for example. The touch screen will allow you to do certain things but you don't have any buttons around the monitor to help you to do other things, like press some hot keys, etc. To me this is a Small Factor PC.
