asha 303 form factor

[ethylove]

I may be the only one to feel this but I would LOVE to have the nokia asha 303 form factor as a WP7 device. the screen is big enough for me and having the actual keyboard is a necessity for me. (Currently on an unlocked DVP for precisely that reason). Of course instead of the call, menu, whatever buttons on the asha it would be the usual 3 keys. Thoughts?

It was planned from the beginning to have this sort of screen res apparently, but doesn't seem to be going to happen any time soon.

Wait, I thought Tango was bringing that resolution? Does that mean that Tango is dead or did it have other features with the update?

I didn't see that article but thank you! I'm so bummed. I don't know about the tango res.

Tango update was supposedly bringing support for HVGA I thought. For low end market phones. Makes no difference to me about the resolution since I wont have one of those phones. Was just wondering if the Tango update was being cancelled or changed to something else now.
