in particular really offer our customers a combination they can't find
anywhere else." said Thomas Lofblad, Managing Director of Handheld Europe.

The Nautiz X5 comes standard with 256 MB RAM and 512 MB built-in Flash

microSD slot for memory expansion. The transflective full VGA color display
and touch screen provide sharp and clear resolution even while working
outdoors.

The Nautiz X5 rugged PDA is built on the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform with
a powerful X-scale 806 MHz processor making it one of the fastest rugged PDAs
on the market. The Nautiz X5 works as a phone with 3G cellular communication
