Windows Mobile 6.5.3 running on Acer

Gareth | February 17, 2010 |

Acer had a number of demo units out that incorporated Windows Mobile 6.5.3. Well, two. The Neotouch P300 and the Neotouch P400. The P300 has a 3.2” touchscreen, slide out Qwerty keyboard and a paltry 500mhz processor. The P400 has 3.2 HVGA touchscreen, but no mention of processor. Windows Mobile 6.5.3 seemed to run quite […]

Another little Android device from Acer is the BeTouch E110. This one features a 2.8” touchscreen and a music streaming app called Spinlets that is free to use. There was no mention of what version of Android this runs but it looks like 1.6. The Liquid which was on display also didn’t have 2.1 running […]

The Samsung Galaxy was a much anticipated Android device and they have gone an revised it with v2.1. It’s got a handsome 800mhz processor and a a longer lasting 1500mha battery. From the display there were two different colours available. The hard buttons have also been given a facelift, a multiplied if memory serves, I […]

Samsung Chat Wi-fi

Gareth | February 17, 2010 |

Here is another one for the kids. A simple little messaging device that combines a generously proportioned Qwerty keyboard with a small form factor. This is a low end messaging device and with a 2mp camera integrated, widgets, Wi-fi, FM Radio and Activesync.

Motorola Backflip

Gareth | February 17, 2010 |

I haven’t quite made my mind up on this one. On the one hand it’s quite different and has a lovely keyboard, on the other it seems a little silly to have the keyboard flip round instead of slideout. The flip is solid and feels oddly natural but it just doesn’t look right when in […]

Garmin’s offerings

Gareth | February 17, 2010 |

There were a couple of devices from Garmin at Mobile World Congress this year. I paid particular attention to two of them, the M10 and A50. With the focus primarily on Satellite Navigation they run both Windows Mobile and Android as the title of each phone might suggest. I played with the A50 for a […]

Gareth | February 17, 2010 |

Samsung have unleash girl power at Mobile World Congress. Two little devices caught my attention for the girlies out there. The first was the Diva, combining a pearly, feminine look with illegible writing it’s a phone for little girls. The Widgets remain and there seems to have been some developments on these as they are […]

Gareth | February 17, 2010 |

Okay, it’s not quite a smartphone but it will probably be the cheapest alternative on the market. The specs are short and snappy, 2mp camera, Edge (no 3G), Email, Facebook, Twitter and media playback. Comes in two flavours, One Touch Chrome and One touch Carbon, after the break:

Samsung Shark phones

Gareth | February 17, 2010 |

There were two dumb phones amidst the Samsung’s collective. The Shark and Shark Slider. The Shark Slider reminded me a lot of the older D500’s from some years back. A lot of the manufactures are pushing Smart phones so it is nice to see a more traditional dumb phone amongst the biggies. Sitting with a […]
