This might be the first M-series that comes with a QWERTY keyboard.

Given the fact that rumors most of the times make the people choke thinking of the goodies that expect them in the near future but end up disappointed finding out that the device they craved for that long exists only in the overactive imagination of some Photoshop fan, today, after reading the story about the leaked photos of some new E-Ten device, I prepared myself, got a glass of water just in case and here it is: E-Ten might launch sometime in the near (or far) future a new device named by the rumor sources as the M700.

Even if the picture that has leaked on the web is a real snapshot of a real handset, one thing could make you think twice before believing what others could take for granted: I don't remember holding in my hand or even seeing an M-series device from E-Ten that had a QWERTY keyboard like this one does.

The handheld pictured in the photo has a side-sliding keyboard, with a number of blue glowing-out indentations between the keys, a thing that makes it look pretty sexy in the eyes of a mobile lover like me or like the one standing in front of the computer monitor and reading this article now.

The M700 is also rumored to have an integrated GPS navigation system and to provide Wi-Fi connectivity for the users that can live their lives only after taking their daily dose of big chunks of data packages.

Overall, if we are to believe our eyes and not think for a single second that this could be an elaborate hoax played on us by someone with a sick sense of humor, the handset looks pretty promising and could get a good share of the Pocket PC market being as sexy as the picture shows it to be.
