HTC Touch fans rejoice! Here’s a first look at the HTC Firestone, successor to the HTC Touch HD. It features a 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen display, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 600-MHz Qualcomm 8250 CPU, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 w/A2DP, and a microSD expansion slot. No word yet on pricing or availability.
Ok, so this demo isn’t exactly using the Samsung Omnia’s own graphics chipset to run Crysis, but rather OTOY, “an upcoming server-side rendering service that’ll let you play high-end 3D games on low-powered machines.” Video after the break.
In this video, Crysis is being played through the Omnia’s browser with no additional plug-ins and is being controlled wirelessly with an Xbox 360 controller.
Reigncom has announced that the iRiver Wave will be released on March 9th in Korea. This phone features a “3-inch 480 x 272 touchscreen, 4GB of flash storage, a two megapixel camera, Adobe Flash support, GPS and mobile TV.” Video after the break. More pics after the jump.
Other than a touchscreen, the phone packs WiFi and the traditional kitchen sink approach of Korean PMPs, with multimedia playback, FM radio, e-books and an electronic dictionary.
PhoneArena feels that “both Google and HTC could have done more for a launch device — a video player, stereo Bluetooth and a 3.5mm headset jack are missing.” Continue reading for the full T-Mobile G1 review. More pics after the jump.
Android is impressive, and the G1 is a nice piece of hardware. Overall the phone performs well though, and it is merely the first step in what we foresee as the next true revolution in wireless.
So you’ve seen the T-Mobile G1 and its Android interface, now take an inside look at the phone’s internals. Here’s something you probably didn’t know: “the trackball module is the same part that RIM uses in Blackberrys.” Video after the break. More pics after the jump.
There was an immediate snag: two chassis screws wouldn’t undo, so they had to force the casing. Once inside though, the phone revealed itself to be the standard messy circuitry and wire-looms affair, with a couple of minor surprises.
Now that you’ve seen the Willcom D4, check out this interesting hands-on video — courtesy of Akihabara News. Continue reading to watch. More pics after the jump.
Stunning design, stunning size (84×188x25.9mm), stunning weight (470g), stunning screen (5” with a 1024×600 resolution and LED backlight), but average performance
The Willcom D4 (Sharp WS016SH) is touted as the world’s smallest Vista-powered QWERTY device. Featuring an Intel Atom (1.3-GHz) processor, tilting 5-inch touchscreen display, 1GB of memory, 40GB HDD, 2.0-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and a microSD card slot. Available in June (Japan only), priced at $1,254 with 2-year service agreement. More pics after the jump.
Check it out, ’cause you’re looking at what must be the world’s smallest QWERTY device capable of running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. And with Willcom experimenting with Android, don’t be surprised to find this released in an alternate form later in the year
That’s right, the developers over at the XDA forums have managed to get Google Android running on a Windows Mobile-powered AT&T Tilt aka HTC TyTN II. Video after the break.
The stability is pretty nonexistent, but you can see that it actually works insofar as you can load it up on top of Windows Mobile and do stuff with it
Measuring 107 x 55 x 15.8 mm, the HTC Touch Dual features a 2.6-inch touchscreen, 2.0-megapixel camera, a 400-MHz Qualcomm MSM 7200 processor, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, microSD card slot, Bluetooth 2.0, and USB connectivity. Video after the break. More pics after the jump.
The Dual will be sold as an unlocked phone at Best Buy retail locations by the end of the second quarter. It will be running Windows Mobile 6.1 out of the box, but will still use HTC’s home page rather than the new WinMo 6.1 home page
Priced at just $500, the MIU HDPC features a 4-inch touchscreen display, 1GHz VIA C7M ULV processor, 4GB of DDR2 memory, Windows XP / Linux Qplus embedded OS, 60GB HDD or 4GB SSD, miniSD/microSD card slot, 5.0-megapixel camera, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, and two USB ports. More pics after the jump.
You’d think the battery life would suffer running all that, plus its Via processor (500MHz or 1GHz), but the reported life is 7 hours at “high power” or an impressive 90 hours at low power settings. This multi-use gadget really does fall down on size, measuring 6.4 x 2.6 x 0.96 inches and weighing pounds, so it’s a pocket-stretcher
