AnexTEK ST100 to release Microsoft smartphone

AnexTEK has announced that they're going to release their own Microsoft smartphone, the ST100. Seems like everyone's jumping on the bandwagon these days. The new phone's not overly extraordinary; it's a triband (GSM 900/1800/1900)
running Microsoft's Smartphone 2003 OS with 32MB SDRAM, VGA camera, etc. It does have USB and (optional) Bluetooth,
which is a nice trick; we're wondering how they make the Bluetooth optional. (Plug-in device? A special chip? Fairy dust?)  It's also got a 3 hour talk time, which is about average, and 100 hours standby. Overall not enough to make us dance in our seats, but certainly a better option than most of what's available in the US right now.
