 |
|
It's time for some more pictures of hot up and coming hardware. This device is set to be the next Windows Mobile device coming to market from O2. The Graphite is a typical candy bar style phone without a QWERTY keyboard. (Yes, they do still make Smartphones without keyboards.  ) The Graphite will sport a 416MHz processor, WiFi, 128/64 ROM/RAM and a 2 megapixel camera.
Click on the above image to view it in it's original glory. Also, there are 3 more pictures posted below. Be sure to click through to view them all. Thanks to DinarSoft for snapping these images at the recent GITEX show in Dubai.

Pathetic isn't it? This is what happens when one sits around recovering from shoulder surgery.

If we could stay on topic...
That phone looks like a winner to me. Very nice design and excellent specs. I wonder what the price will be on that.
I'm glad to see they are still coming up with great smartphones with standard keypads. I don't see myself ever being a QWERTY phone user.

I don't think numberpad-based Smartphones will ever go away. One of the value propositions of the Smartphone platform is the ability to produce "phones" that work and feel more-or-less like dumbphones, but with added functionality.

True, but I noticed with the BlackJack that because it is somewhat smaller than most of the other Qwerty Smartphones, it is very easy to use one handed. The Q, on the other hand, was a bit wider and made one handed use (like dialing) a bit more awkward. I agree though that number pads will probably never go away, nor should they.

Sorry to hear that. If it's any consolation, at least you're a reasonably smart, funny troll, unlike some of the lame trolls we've had.
