Sony Ericsson needs a touchscreen device to counter all the doom and gloom about the future of the handset manufacturer, and Satio is designed as its flagship phone for the year. Featuring a 16×9 3.5” touch screen with 12.1 megapixel camera with Xenon flash, the hardware is powered by Symbian S60 (5th edition) OS. This quad-band device won’t feature internal storage, but you could add up to 8GB with microSD cards. Set to launch in October for an unannounced price, I really hope another touchscreen device from, let’s say Apple, won’t overshadow Satio even before its launch.
Palm’s latest device is more like the iPhone than the Treo. Opting for a touchscreen, with slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Palm has finally created a lust-worthy device, at least on specs.
Pre will feature 3.1 inch touchscreen, with a rollerball and “gesture” oriented lower part. Internal specs include wi-fi, EV-DO Rev A, Bluetooth, GPS and 8GB built-in storage. You will be able to take pictures and videos with the 3 megapixel camera. Truly innovative is the use of the wireless battery charger, first for a mainstream device. Pre will be available first on Sprint.
Nokia has finally unveiled its new flagship N97 featuring both a touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard (just like Sony’s Xperia X1). With a 3.5 inch 640 x 360 pixel screen, its other additional features include HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, A-GPS, 32GB onboard memory, and a 5 megapixel camera.
It is set to ship in 2009 at approximately $700 USD before subsidies.
HTC’s latest touchscreen device sets itself apart with its gorgeous 3.8-inch 800×480 resolution screen. The rest of the specs isn’t a pushover either with a 5 megapixel camera, GPS/A-GPS, 802.11G, Bluetooth 2.0, running on Windows Mobile 6.1.
RIM has finally gone ahead and officially unveiled its first flip phone Blackberry Pearl Flip 8820 for T-Mobile. Available in black and red, it is a spiritual successor of the consumer-level Pearl, but now available in a folder format for the first time. Some may prefer this design as you don’t have to hassle with screen locks as closing the folder automatically disables the keys.
