Samsung ships new PocketPC phone

Samsung's SCH-i700 has started shipping. The PocketPC OS powered phone looks pretty spiffy on the outside, but still packs some punch on the inside. It's got an integrated digital camera, 64MB of ram (we assume that you can store photos on this memory unlike the name RAM connotates). PocketPC Thoughts has a review unit and a nice write-up about it.

BenQ's New Smartphone

BenQ has announced the P30, a new Symbian powered smart phone. The name is awful close to Sony Ericsson's P800, and they even both run the same OS. Despite the rip-off quality's, the P30 has a decent feature set:
16-bit TFT display
Integrated digital camera with 16-bit color depth
Bluetooth

Look for it soon... No prices have been released yet.

O'Grady Reviews P800

Mobile mogul Jason O'Grady has posted a very detailed review of his latest gadget--the Sony Ericsson P800 (seen at right). It's unique looks make it easily recognizable to most people, but it's amazing feature set makes it stick in the heads of geeks.
"The phone is more than a successor to the wonderful Sony Ericsson T68i - it is a complete departure. Where the T68i was a tiny powerful color Bluetooth phone, the P800 is more akin to a small computer that makes phone calls and take pictures."

The Neonode N1 Is Coming...

Gizmodo notes that the rumored Neonode N1 is indeed coming. The phone is one of the smallest we've seen, and since it packs smartphone functions (runs a Microsoft OS) it's even more amazing.

Details are still sketchy and direct URL's aren't possible thanks to Neonode's Flash site, but near as we can tell 1,000 units have shipped and the rest are on their way.

Siemens' New Offerings Coming to USA

According to InfoSync World, US readers won't have to be jealous of Europeans who can purchase the new offering from Siemens (at CeBIT). Look for Siemens to make a lot of ground in the US market over the next 18 months--it's designs are sexy and feature rich.

The SX1 (shown at right) will be available late this year. It's another one of the seemingly endless supply of new phones with crazy button schemes, but other than that seems solid. It's got a 16 bit color screen, PIM applications, video recording and more.

The SL56 is coming as well and packs quite a punch. It's not pinned as a smartphone like the SX1 but still boasts a sliding keypad, POP and IMAP email, and Bluetooth.

The M56 isn't as advanced as its counterparts, but it still sports a color screen and GSM connectivity.

MiTAC Announces Smart Phone

MiTAC has announced the first clam-shell style smart phone, the MiTAC 8380. We're not quite sure what's so smart about it--but it's got good specs:
Runs Microsoft's Windows Powered Smartphone platform
Powered by Intel's new XScale processor
The screen is a TFT transflective color display
Inludes an integrated digital camera
MPEG-4 encoder for sending video

The Microsoft part may be its weakpoint--for the most part it's an untested operating system. Also, who wants the blue screen of death when making a call? Otherwise, this phone looks solid.
