Paragon shows dual-mode "hipi-2200" Smartphone

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 23rd 2006 at 1:09PM

We're, like, so over flush metal keypads, but we're going to let it slide just this once. Looking to bring a little more spit and polish than the original dual-mode hipi before it, Paragon Wireless' new hipi-2200 ups the ante with the inclusion of Windows Mobile 5 -- in a far more refined-looking package, to boot. With the exception of the lack of 3G (or even EDGE, for that matter) and the pedestrian 220 x 176 display, the spec sheet reads like a dream come true for Windows Mobile fans: 2-megapixel cam, microSD expansion, quadband GSM, SIP-based VoIP with seamless handoff, and a claimed 100 hours of standby with both GSM and WiFI radios turned on. Best of all, Paragon says the hipi-2200 is FCC certified, making a US release at least plausible. Likely? No, but we can dare to dream.

Mr. Jass,

The reason your first comment was removed is because it was both rude and incorrect. If you follow the original link straight to Paragon Wireless' website, you'll notice that the standby time with GSM and WiFi both enabled is 100 hours, not 200.

As for the screen resolution, we have a policy of stating the larger number first, regardless of orientation. We expect our readers to be able to deduce from the picture that the screen is in portrait orientation.

Chris
