I and some Japanese Squeakers are using NTT DoCoMo's Sigmarion. It is
OEM of MobilePro 780(VR4121 168MHz, 32MB RAM). Moreover, it is very
compact. The size of Sigmarion is 189x107x27mm(7.4x4.2x1.1in). The
weight is 485g(1.1lb). And average street price is 40,000yen($370). We
love it.

Popope has a landscape QVGA(320x240) and 4096 colors screen. Popope is
OEM of CASIO. So it looks like Cassiopeia E-105 about the specification.
