Sprint Samsung Intrepid Windows Phone sneaks in touchscreen

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No Comments

Sprint Samsung Intrepid You’d be forgiven for thinking that AT&T and Verizon had the lions share of the Windows Phone action today, but Sprint would hate for you to think they’re left out. They’ve launched the Samsung Intrepid, at first glance a straightforward candybar handset with a full QWERTY keyboard, but which in fact includes a touchscreen and thus runs Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional rather than Standard.

That’s an unusual form-factor, but other than the display – a 2.5-inch 320 x 240 resistive panel – it’s a reasonably straightforward Windows Phone. As well as EVDO Rev.A the Intrepid supports GSM for international use, together with WiFI and Bluetooth, a 3.2-megapixel camera and GPS.

Kohjinsha PA-series MID adds swivel-screen to mini-notebook

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No Comments

Kohjinsha may have filled their MID niche with a rebadged UMID mbook m1, but that hasn’t stopped their own engineers from coming up with a homegrown alternative. The Kohjinsha PA-series takes the same mini-clamshell form-factor of the m1 and Sharp’s NetWalker, but throws in a convertible display for using the MID as a slate.

GeeksPhone One redesigned Android smartphone in wild

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 2nd 2009 No Comments

Spanish start-up GeeksPhone prompted some guarded enthusiasm back in June, when they revealed their first-generation Android smartphone prototype, but they’ve come on a long way since then. Where the first handset looked distinctly Omnia-like, the reworked model – in the hands of Xataka – is a far slicker affair, complete with a slide-out keyboard.

They’ve been posting various shots, though nothing that shows the full hardware at present, but certainly enough to keep us interested.

T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ preorders taken from October 19th

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 30th 2009 No Comments

Back when people were desperate to get their hands on the first Android phone, the T-Mobile G1, a pre-order event seemed a reasonable way to stoke the hype. Now that we’re a few models down the line, T-Mobile USA’s pre-announcement for a pre-order of the Motorola CLIQ smacks vaguely of desperation. As of October 19th, existing customers of the carrier will be able to order a CLIQ for $199.99 with a new two-year agreement, though they won’t actually get their new phone until November 2nd when it goes on sale generally.

Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 lands for unboxing, MID comparison

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 29th 2009 No Comments

Sharp’s NetWalker PC-Z1 may not be the device for everyone – after all, a 5-inch touchscreen clamshell MID with a tiny QWERTY keyboard and 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor makes it a pretty niche handheld – but most people can appreciate a mini-laptop so we’re pleased to see the first unboxing over at Pocketables. Jenn of course is no stranger to MIDs, in fact she has a UMID mbook M1 on hand to compare the PC-Z1 with.
