First 1.1Mpixel 192MB SmartPhone

Posted by timothy on from the don't-get-mugged dept.

It's a slide-down type phone, running on a 400MHz Intel X-Scale processor with a 2.8" 262K color TFT LCD. It runs MS PocketPC 2003. Personally I think it blows the SE P900 away. Ok, time to wipe the drool off the keyboard! ;)"

  2. Replacement for my Hiptop by SpineZ · · Score: 3, Informative

    This looks really nice. I had to get rid of my Danger Hiptop (TMobile Sidekick) because of the incredible bulk. This looks like a great replacement for it, although lacking the nifty keypad and "cool" swivel-screen. And of course, the PDA functions of it should be a lot more refined than the Hiptop.

    I don't see any specifics stating it will be GPRS capable. Anyone have any insight?

    whoa... tell me where you can get all those for only $500.... last I checked the 40gig ipod was $500 by itself.

    The phone is being launched in Korea first, which is all CDMA2000. I wonder if you could use the PDA's browser on the CDMA 1x-DO network in korea. Now that would be cool (sustained rate of 800kbps--faster than my DSL at home!).
    I'm sure LG will follow with a GSM model for Europe and the rest of the world soon.

    If your MP3's average more than about 128 kb/s then you will get choppiness, I'm still not sure whether the bottleneck is the decoder or just transferring the data off the SD card. I make my MP3's using MusicMatch, VBR 50% "High-Quality" (heh) setting, which average 128 kb/s and they work pretty well.
