HTC TouchPro 2 Will Be Available Worlwide

HTC has announced via its Twitter that the upcoming HTC TouchPro2 will be available worldwide. This time the TouchPro2 looks much more ergonomic, with rounded edges, and also with the HTC-pioneered horizontal sliding keypad.

There are no news of its features yet, but we'd better expect standard smartphone features such as office document editors, HSDPA, Win-mo 6.5, Wifi, Bluetooth, fast processor and big ram. Also interesting to think about the megapixel camera. Following HTC's comment on the megapixel race, we can expect the camera will be around 5-6 mp and no more.

Well, let's wait for this baby rolling!

Elektrobit, The Perfect Phone for Seamen, Satellite Phone and GSM Phone In One Windows Mobile Device

Elektrobit, or trilobit, or trilobyte. Whatever. But a new smartphone called Elektrobit features a unique ability : transfer network from GSM to Satellite network, to GSM again, seamlessly. Best of it, it also sports HSDPA, WiFi, and encapsulated in Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone.

Love it? If you are a seaman, then most likely you will. But Engadget said this phone is said to have uncomfortable keypad. Still, satellite phone with no huge external antenna, and the ability to switch networks on the fly, is really a neat technology applied.

Design speaking, it is quite ugly. But seaman doesn't need beautiful, glossy, diamond-etched phones. They need phones that work and can withstand bad weather for communication.

No news yet where it can be bought. Perhaps here, at the official website. Read More......

Iris Browser for Windows Mobile Smartphones

If you have a windows mobile smartphone, then we have good news for you. A new browser has born. It's Iris. It promises full experience of web transferred to your phone. Sounds big, and I personally, do not believe it. Alas, I don't have a windows mobile phone. But if you do, please then check it here.

So far in my experience, the Net Front browser of Sony Ericsson does quite a good job. Although it does not support Flash yet. I've never tried a Windows Mobile default web browser. But the Iris looks promising. Please give it a test drive, and comment back!

Pantech Matrix Pro with Dual Keypad from AT&T

Fancy keyboards-in-smartphones trend began after HTC Tytn II. Nokia N97 follows suit. But behold, if you think horizontal body-sliding keypad is cool, then watch the upcoming Pantech Matrix Pro from AT&T. It has dual keypad, yes your eyes do not fool you.

More detailed speaking, Pantech Matrix Pro from AT&T hosts dual keypad, the alphanumeric keypad, and the full blown QWERTY keypad. The alphanumeric slides down from the phone just like common sliders. No big news here. But combined into this device is the body side-sliding full blown QWERTY keypad. Two keypads format in one gadget. This is a truly innovation.

Check out the pics.

The ordinary alphanumeric.
The elegant side sliding QWERTY keypad.

Apparently it will have Windows Mobile 6.5 under the hood. Also AT&T Navigator promises turn-by-turn GPS guide. Hm...but wait, the camera, only 2MP CMOS? Oh God, that's not we want to hear. At least todays smartphones must use 3 MP camera to respect its own brand. Even teenagers' INQ1 sports 3MP camera on board.

Let's see how this guy rocks when it finally arrives for AT&T. Let's hope it delivers reliable speed and performance.

Gigabyte GSmart S1200 with Windows Mobile 6.1 and VGA Display

Gigabyte, the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer, has officially announced earlier it will launch GSmart S1200, A Windows mobile smartphone with wide and full touch screen interface.

The latest report from MWC by Unwiredview confirmed that Gigabyte has fully disclosed the spec of GSmart S1200. Physically, the handset is classy, with chrome trimming, that makes it a classic retro-looking piece. However, don't be fooled by its exterior, as it carries full Windows Mobile 6.1.

As you know, Windows Mobile 6.1 is one of the most advanced mobile operating systems currently in the market. Although some users find Windows Mobile 6.1 a little bit buggy, but in general still several manufacturers adopt this operating system into their smartphones.

Gigabyte GSmart S1200 has 105.5 x 52 x 11.4 millimeters dimension. It should be easily fit into your pocket, as 1,1 cm is considered very thin. And it also big and nice WVGA display, which means more space for your applications, images, and videos. The full specification as follows :

* 3.1 inch TFT touchscreen display with 480 x 800 pixels
* Gigabyte’s Smart Zone user interface
* GSM and HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity
* Built-in GPS
* Wi-Fi
* Bluetooth 2.0
* Mini USB 2.0
* 3MP camera with autofocus
* MicroSD card slot
* 528 MHz Qualcomm processor
* 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM
* 1010 mAh battery

Let's go through the spec items one by one. 3.1 inch TFT, is nice, and the TFT screen should be readable in the sun, though no confirmation yet on any reviews in the web. But the pixel of 480 x 800 can be a little bit of problem, as it is not a common pixel resolution for images and third party applications.

Built-in GPS is a welcome addition. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mini USB, 3MP, MicroSD all are standard features of today's smartphones. While the 528 MHz Qualcomm processor is okay, it can use faster processor still. But perhaps Gigabyte tries to reduce production cost by using lower speed processor. The 1010 mAh battery however, is a bit too small. Modern smartphones that have a lot of power-gobbing features should have 1300 or 1500mAh battery. So expect the battery life of your GSmart S1200 will last in about 1-2 days.

Gigabyte's Smart Zone user interface is a skin similar to the finger-friendly interface skin found in LG Cookie and HTC Touch, though it seems far less superior than HTC TouchFlo skin. Just like in other Windows Mobile smartphones, Gigabyte's Smart Zone skin is created to enable users control the handset in easier and much more intuitive ways, as Windows Mobile is often perceived to be rather complicated to use for average users.

The Gigabyte GSmart S1200 is expected to be marketed in Q2 2009.

i-mate 810F : the first Windows Mobile in military standard casing

Well, this smartphone may not be for everyone. While most of you who use smartphones do not work in dusty, outdoor environment, i-mate provides an option for you who do. Open that email, browse with your favorite mobile IE, and edit more Word documents, on the go, in the field, under the rain if necessary, with the new i-mate 810F.

It is a win-mo device, protected with military standard casing. An interesting offer. And no, you don't have to be a geologist or archaeologist to feel the benefit of the device protective feature. Sometimes we feel the urgent need to answer that call or send that sms under the rain. Or sometimes our phone fall to our bathtub during those lazy Saturday morning bath. Then, this i-mate fellow will do the trick to get out of those situations alive and kicking.

Dust resistant, shock resistant, water resistant, operating temperature from -10 C to 60 C. Military standard in short. Additional features include GPS, impact resistant touchscreen display (though undefined yet what kind of impacts it can go through), 2 MP camera, built-in digital compass, and quite quick 624 Mhz processor for present standard. Unclear how many RAM it will have, or whether external memory slot is present. But any serious Win-mo device should have the slot.
