Both of the devices are expected to be available across Europe from late July; though no indications on price have been announced. What do we think? Well, this space is really hotting up now, especially with the Fujitsu Loox 830 and Magic - the ultracool  Smartphone all of which are expected to be launched around the same time. Of course, with all these features we wonder how many "minutes" batteries are going to last?
