"Vodafone New Zealand has been supporting Windows Mobile devices, Pocket PC and Smartphones, on its voice and data cellular network. But unlike the European Vodafone operations, the Vodafone VPA series didn't arrive in New Zealand until now. For years Vodafone New Zealand users have been able to purchase i-mate branded Windows Mobile devices from Vodafone stores and it is only now that a Vodafone-branded Windows Mobile device arrives here. This honour goes to the Vodafone 1210, a budget Windows Mobile Smartphone designed and manufactured by ASUS."
Maybe because it is a "budget" Smartphone they released it with WM5. WM6 is right around the corner! I don't quite get why but in any case here is a review of the device for your consideration.

Don't worry... Fear nothing!
Vodafone New Zealand has confirmed (and they posted a comment on the review) that a "refresh" will be issued by mid-year with Windows Mobile 6 for the Vodafone v1210 (Smartphone) and Treo 750v (Pocket PC)...

Mauricio let me play with this phone a little last week at the summit. It feels really nice in your hands and it's super fast. Overall, I would say it's a modern day SMT5600.

This phone (Asus Jupiter) is also branded in the UK as the O2 XDA Graphite. The big difference being the Graphite retains cameras front and back and WiFi b/g !
