While it does look a bit like a calculator, the Grundig B700 manages to pack in quite a lot of goodies into its rather thin housing. Measuring in at less than half an inch thick, the Linux-powered B700 features the requisite QWERTY keyboard and 2-megapixel camera with 4x zoom that you can find in almost every smartphone today.

It also features a POP3 Email Push Client and a program called SureType, which works almost exactly like the Blackberry. Other features include mp3 playback capability, FM radio receiver, and a 2.4-inch QVGA screen. While the B700's internal memory is only a mere 100MB, the inclusion of a Micro SD card slot means that you can expand it to 1GB.

The B700 also has Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a USB port that'll come in handy when you need to transfer files between your smartphone and PC fast.
