Gizmo of the Day, GPS, Phones, Portable / By /

If you’re in the market for a smartphone that you can extend with potentially unlimited applications, are intrigued by the iPhone, really want an Android phone, but can’t wait, then take a look at the Neo FreeRunner which hits the (virtual e-commerce) street this weekend.

The Neo is arguably the first open mobile computing platform that is based on Linux. The 6.5oz phone itself boasts GSM (805/900MHz) network connectivity, a 480×640 VGA touchscreen, 802.11b/g WiFi, GPRS 2.5, Bluetooth 2.0, 128MB RAM and 256MB Flash, along with a microSD slot.

Openmoko expects to launch a full suite of applications next month that will go along with the dialing & SMS capabilities that the phone will initially ship with.

Gimme!

HTC TyTN II Smartphone

3 Comments / Phones / By /

HTC TyTN II

We recently featured the HTC Advantage 7501 Smartphone/UMPC, but HTC is hardly a one-trick pony (ahem!), and one of their very latest products is the HTC TyTN II smartphone. Before we get into the slew of features, just take a look at how cool the screen tilts up towards you once you slide the full QWERTY keypad out. That’s wicked.

Now, let’s talk features. As the name suggests, the TyTN II is the sequel to the already cool TyTN. It’s thing is connectivity, and it has it all – HSDPA/UMTS, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. TyTN runs Windows Mobile 6, which I have to admit has gotten better over the years. So anyway, Win Mobile means you get Office Mobile apps like Word, Excel and Powerpoint, and since you’ve got the slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, dealing with those types of productivity apps won’t be such a pain in the neck. It’ll be more about working than just reading on the 240×320 QVGA touch screen.

HTC Advantage 7501 SmartPhone/UMPC

HTC Advantage 7501

The HTC Advantage 7501 is the answer for those that want a smartphone that has a larger than average screen with a larger than average QWERTY keyboard. It’s smaller than a UMPC, but considerably larger than your typical handset, even the run of the mill smartphone, like a Blackberry, Treo or typical Win Mobile phone. Take a look at the pic to see what’s cool about the 7501 – the keyboard slides out at an angle to the screen so you can type normally while viewing the screen at a decent angle. Pretty cool.

The HTC Advantage is chock full of features: it sports an Intel PXA270 chip running at 624MHz with a separate ATI Graphics Chip; it runs Windows Mobile 6, and has both IE and Opera installed; 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, 8GB disk; a relatively large 5″ touchscreen TFT-LCD screen; HSDPA/UMTS/GSM/GPRS/EDGE Quad band capable; Bluetooth 2.0; WiFi 802.11b/g; USB 1.1; 3 megapixel camera with flash; speaker phone; GPS; miniSD slot and more.
