OKWAP of Taiwan is releasing a new idea for Pocket PC phones – a virtual D-Pad based on the numeric keypad! To navigate, just use the 5 key as your center button and the surrounding number buttons as the rest of the pad.

The phone is referred to as a "Smartphone" in the GearFuse article, but it’s actually a PPC phone. It includes a stylus, touchscreen, 416Mhz CPU, 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM, SD or MMC cards, GPRS, Bluetooth and Infrared. The S868 will starting selling in Taiwan late February for $470, and there’s little chance we’ll see it. Nice idea for navigation, though, no?
