I have a 605 WiFi and take it around the world with NONE of the glitches or problems. I was hoping Archos would become a phone so I wouldnt have to carry two things.

This is perfect. I love my Archos 605, and love that the new 5 will also be a phone.

It’s nice and a new innovation. But, why can’t it be a full smartphone with all these functionalities and with an 8mp camera? For God sake, this 2009, u mustn’t go about with a Camera, phone, PMP etc separately!

If it has 3.5G built in and if Archos is really trying to make this an “instant sensation”, then the following should be built in also;
-If Archos wants to reach the entire world easily, the 3.5G module should support at least the 4 common HSDPA bands (2100/1900/900/850Mhz). It should also support voice; not like the HTC Shift!!!
-At least a front-facing camera. A rear high resolution camera would also be great.
-GPS. It’s 2009, we don’t need external attachments.
-Bluetooth
-Wifi. Exluding this is potentially a recipe for disaster ‘cuz not everyone will be on HSDPA 24/7, but most people have free access to Wifi
-Capacitive Touchscreen. The Archos PMPs and IMTs have all been geared for fingers, I wouldn’t want to carry a stylus around for a resistive touchscreen. Capacitive touchscreens work better with fingers.

Both FM radio receivers and transmitters would be great, but if not, oh well!

These are just my thoughts! Anyone?

I think there will not be a carrier. I think it’s gonna be true voip. It’s more like a tablet with the functionallity to call. Sorry for bad english

I have the Archos 605 wifi. Is there anyway to use the G! as the modem for the 605?

will all the issues with the Archos crashing if you have too many songs on the device be solved. My 160gb archos is virtually unusable because it is so unstable…

I have just bought an Archos 5, it does have a physical qwerty keypad..
But my Archos is already great, especially the large screen and the large memory, only the add-ons and plug-ins are expensive and some of the plu-gins should already be installed. That this new phone has no camera suprises me, almost every phone has a camera installed nowadays.

Sure, you can’t take still pictures to the device.

But to make up for that, you *can* record HD video straight to it. I’d say it’s a pretty great trade-off. As for the soft keyboard, that’s much less of an issue because this is much roomier than your standard smartphone.
