Is LG working on new Windows Mobile phone? According to rumours, the new device — the GW610 — will feature a 2MP camera and 3G support though not much else is known about the mysterious phone.

One thing we do know is that it will include WiFi support for high-speed data connections, as the GW610 was originally discovered by Cellpassion.mobi in an interoperability certificate.

Samsung Propel Pro to drop in on AT&T

dave — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:15:02 +0000

Rumour has it that the Samsung Propel Pro (SGH-i627) will be dropping in on AT&T this week.

This Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (no touchy?) slider phone slides open to reveal a cute little QWERTY! It looks very neat, but is intended to be a low-end device — no wifi, camera is less than 1MP, small screen (only 2.2inches, 320×320), but it does have UMTS/HSDPA 3G, aGPS and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and a microSD slot with SDHC compatibility for use with cards up to 32GB in size.

CES: Pharos announces an HTC Touch HD rival

dave — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:35:31 +0000

That’s right! Pharos boasted today at CES that their newest unlocked 3G phone works on the 1700 MHz T-Mobile band and also the 850 MHz band.

James Oyang, PhD, President of Pharos, which just recently partnered with Inventec, had this to say about the new phone:

Most navigation solutions for smartphones only work when within a carrier coverage zone. We’ve equipped the Traveler 137 with our hybrid navigation system that follows you wherever you want to go and charges you only when you actually use it.

This rockin’ new device will come pre-customized with SPB Mobile Shell and, according to WMPowerUser, it features Pharos‘ own Smart Navigator software which is a navigation system that can work both with and without a network connection. So even when you’re outside of your carrier coverage zone you can still display, create, and navigate maps from your device.

This phone is a non-touch WinMo 6.1 device with a nice slim form factor and a really handy front facing numeric keypad and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Awesome! I think I love it.
