Pity, a "decent thumbboard" is still a "poor thumbboard". It's surprising how manufacturers hype some aspects which users know only too well to be bogeys. Anyway, as PDAs yearn to cram up with features yet maintain compact size and dimensions; thumbboards will always be itsy bitsy and users may have to live with it.

Processor is still 416 MHz. Memory - 32 MB of RAM and 45 MB of storage on board, a miniSD card expansion slot. Hmmm, give some, take away some.

nothing Asrar, compared to 6515, WiFi is native and its WM5 and some teeny-weeny changes
