We'll see - I found a picture at http://www.pdastreet.com/hardware/Sharp-Zaurus-5000-5700-5800-2001-5-3-pdast reet-pdas.html. Reminds me of the Motorola Timeport. I've been using a Blackberry (the smaller one) for the last 4 months, and recently tried the Timeport. I personally found the Timeport less useable than the Blackberry, primarily because of 2 things: I don't like having to flip open the lid when I get paged (less of an issue with a proper PDA, but anyway...), and the user interface on the Timeport made me use 2x - 3x "clicks"/selections compared to the Blackberry.
But in a PDA, it might be more useful....

Sharp and Trolltech want your apps on their hot new Zaurus. Sharp Electronics Corporation unveiled the new Linux-based Zaurus SL-5500 PDA to a crowd of Linux developers and the IT media in San Jose, California today. The palmtop's most notable feature is a Blackberry-sized QWERTY keyboard revealed by sliding the screen. It also offers a reflective quarter-VGA screen, stereo sound, 64MB of RAM and an 206MHz Intel StrongARM CPU. A day-long Zaurus developer's symposium was also held today." I know I will want one of these... and I'll want to run VNC on it!
