GSmart q60 has dotty keyboard

, Feb 17th 2007 Discuss [1]

The world of the QWERTY smartphone grows in ranks by one: Gigabyte's GSmart q60.  It took me a little while to realise what the distinctive keys reminded me of, but it's just come to me; they look like caps for a child's toy gun.  Hopefully they don't make the same banging noise every time you type on them.   Noduled-keyboard aside, the q60 is a 3G HSDPA, Windows Mobile 6-toting chunk of mobile media.  A 2-megapixel, auto-focus camera, 2.5-inch screen, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 round out the features, and it's powered by an Intel PXA270 520 MHz processor.

iPhone Killer from Nvidia?

, Feb 15th 2007 Discuss [0]

Am I the only one that thinks that the entire market is moving away from so-called “smart phones” and moving towards more of a mobile PC? It seems like the focus of phones is more towards leaving the laptop at home and using your phone for many of your needs. Granted, I know that is still a long way off, but we're getting closer to that every day. Take the new Quark smartphone concept from Nvidia. Something big must be happening to get them to put some focus on making a phone. Read The Full Story

Motorola Q q9 has better keyboard than old Q; my thumbs sigh in relief

, Feb 15th 2007 Discuss [0]

Arne Hess has taken his hands to 3GSM and let's all be thankful for that - if he hadn't, we wouldn't have this hands-on report of the Motorola Q q9.  Thankfully he did more than merely palpate it like a blind man touching up a nun; no, he answered my first question: is the keyboard any good? Turns out, he reckons it's easier than the original Q to type on.  Now I loved the look of the Q's tic-tac keys and clean layout, but after a while they got a bit tiring on the fingertips; this new keyboard doesn't look so cute, but if you can peck out emails without having domed impressions bruised into your digits then it's an improvement in my book.

LG Electronics KU250 – 3G For All!

, Feb 13th 2007 Discuss [12]

What a great slogan by LG, 3G for All! I wish I could say the same for my fellow in US where 3G are more like 3 Where? But enough about my jealousy of those 3G zoned users. The LG-KU250 will be available from twelve of the largest mobile operators in the world. Read The Full Story

i-mate redeem Ultimate range; give them SideShow functionality

, Feb 13th 2007 Discuss [0]

Back in January, when salivating slightly over ASUS' ScreenDUO SideShow display, I interrupted my oral perspiration to wonder this:

"Wouldn’t it be easier to have a constantly updated cellphone relying on the processing power of your laptop together with the convenience of something most people carry round all the time?"
Well it looks like the good people at i-mate have been listening, or at the very least that we're thinking on the same wavelength (I'll expect my consultancy fee cheque to be in the post, guys), because their Ultimate line of WM6 smartphones (which thankfully won't just come in the JayLenoChinphone guise but as a range of different handsets) will come with software that not only enables just that, SideShow functionality using the cellphone as wireless display, but also remote Windows Media Centre control and media-previewing.  Read The Full Story

LG Prada running Windows Mobile 6 – Exclusive Photos!

, Feb 13th 2007 Discuss [2]

There's been a lot of conflicting reporting about the LG Prada's OS, fuelled by some reported sightings of the handset running Windows Mobile 6 rather than the Flash UI previously seen in photos.  Well, Ahbao of SlashGear-sister-site SlashPhone has been prowling the mean aisles of 3GSM and scored some images of the WM6 version.   According to deeply reticent LG reps this is not the final casing for the phone, and when pushed they refused to say whether the handset will be the commercial version of the Prada handset, another variant in the line or a completely different model altogether.
