As promised, Neonode delivers new N2 colors

by Chris Ziegler, posted May 2nd 2008 @ 5:48AM


Wisely observing that black isn't for everyone, Neonode has pushed out its fleet of four N2 colors that we first saw back at CES: Lime, Azure, Rubine, and Roza. Translated, that's green, blue, red, and pink, which means there are now four exciting new ways that we can not have the N2 in the States. It's okay, Neonode, we know you're planning a launch here, take your time.

Neonode maximizes hype, promises "details" on four new N2 colors in March

by Chris Ziegler, posted Feb 21st 2008 @ 1:56PM


The N2 is a pretty funky fresh device to begin with, so it only makes sense that its buyers might like a palette to choose from. Indeed, the company is planning on rolling out four new colors for its diminutive smartphone, but if you think they're telling us what those colors are, think again -- they've only released PR stating that "details" on the colors will be announced next month. If we had to take a stab at it, we'd say that two of the four will be green and pink (albeit with fancier names, probably) since we saw them on display at CES, but the other two are anybody's guess. Personally, we'd like a nice shade of North American 3G; maybe we're asking a bit much.

Hands-on with Neonode's N2 in new colors and a peek at the booth

by Sean Cooper, posted Jan 8th 2008 @ 7:21PM Featured Story


Neonode have busted onto the CES scene with a monster booth, new colors for the existing N2, new prototype devices, and whispers of a 3G N2.5 or 3. Now all we have to do is wait for the carrier to get announced and hear word on pricing. We're looking forward to how things roll out for them over here.

Neonode N2 officially coming to the US

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jan 4th 2008 @ 3:21PM Breaking News


It might be lagging a bit behind its European cousin, but Neonode is finally committing to bringing its N2 to the States in 2008. The finger-friendly touchscreen device is the follow-on to the N1 -- a phone that never even crossed the pond -- and features a 2 megapixel camera, expansion via a rather unusual miniSD slot, and mere GPRS data to ferry bytes down from the network. Without 3G or even EDGE, our excitement's tempered, but we're still curious to find out how it feels and functions in the hand. Look for availability and carrier agreements (yep, it sounds like someone will be officially offering this -- T-Mobile, perhaps?) to be announced in the second quarter.

Neonode N2 makes its FCC debut

by Donald Melanson, posted Oct 26th 2007 @ 4:28PM

It's been out in Europe for a good few months already, but the Neonode N2 has now finally landed into the FCC's all-important hands, which would seem to suggest that a US release isn't all that far off. From the looks of the tests reports, however, the touchscreen-based handset doesn't seem to have picked up any of those much-desired 3G capabilities in its trip across the Atlantic, although we suspect it'll still find its share of fans. For those not up to speed on it, the N2 boasts a 2-inch touchscreen that fills up most of the front of the handset, along with a 2 megapixel camera, a miniSD card slot, and quad-band GSM / GPRS capabilities (no WiFi though). Hit up the gallery below for a few more pics courtesy of the FCC, and keep it locked here for any word of a release.

Neonode N2 gets unboxed, videoed

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 18th 2007 @ 3:43PM


Granted, this whole unboxing process took a tad longer than we're used to, but considering the absence of an Apple logo and the fact that the folks in Greece likely roll with a bit more patience than we gizmo freaks here in North America, we won't grouse too much. Still, the first widespread unboxing pictures (and a video for good measure) of the highly anticipated Neonode N2 have officially hit the 'net just under a fortnight after the launch party in Athens, and we must say it's looking pretty good. From the well appointed packaging right down to the matte black outfit, the N2 is (finally) yours to witness (psst, the video is after the jump).

Neonode's N2 ready for summer launch

by Thomas Ricker, posted Jul 2nd 2007 @ 12:31PM


Sick of the iPhone but like the whole touch-screen thing? Great, then you'll be happy to hear that the Neonode N2 is prepped for sale. Starting this summer, the phone that led the way for the iPhone (their words) will be up for grabs. No 3G or WiFi (or even EDGE) of course, and the launch will be limited to "south-eastern Europe," but hey, it's a start. Maybe we'll get a bit more info after the launch party in Athens (Greece, not Ohio).

Hands-on with the Neonode N2

by Thomas Ricker, posted Feb 13th 2007 @ 8:26AM


We had a chance to go hands-on with the Neonode N2 today while trippin' the floors of 3GSM. So how was it? Pretty sweet. Although lacking WiFi and 3G, the device felt excellent in the hand. Text input was a bit buggy but that touch-screen interface and long (theoretical) battery life will likely be a hit in whatever market the N2 ultimately reaches... someday.

Neonode's N2: the iPhone is just "following" its lead

by Thomas Ricker, posted Feb 12th 2007 @ 8:10AM Featured Story


We knew the announcement was coming, now here's the product: the Neonode N2. According to Neonode's 3GSM press release, "Apple's iPhone and several other manufactures" are just "following the lead set by Neonode." Of course, they are referring to their N1 which stuttered onto the scene back in 2004. Hyperbole aside, the quad-band GSM / GPRS N2 does look pretty sweet bringing MiniSD support to store your media, a 2 megapixel camera, and a 2-inch, 176 x 220, 65k color, and of course a touch-screen display all boxed up in a small 47x77x14.7-mm / 70-gram package. We'll try to get a hands-on of a working prototype from our crew in Barcelona later today. Until then, color us skeptics... we've been burned by our Neonode enthusiasm before.
