Sony Ericsson announces GC86 EDGE PC Card
Sony Ericsson has took off the wraps off its quad-band GC86 EDGE PC Card, which will replace their tri-band GC85 card. The card promises up to 247kpbs when connected to GSM / EDGE networks, although the quad-band capabilities mean it'll be all the easier to fall back on GPRS and stay connected -- no matter how slowly -- no matter where you are. While Sony Ericsson describes the GC86 as an "entry-level solution," they don't provide an actual cost, and as far as a launch date goes, Q3 is as definitive as Sony Ericsson's willing to get for the time being. The card is also both Mac and Windows compatible, assuming you Apple users have a Mac with a PC Card slot, that is (you know who you are).[Via I4U News]
Nokia 6126 wins FCC approval
Nokia has been gaining a
bit of a reputation for being on the chubby side of the thin phone wars.
So the 14-mm slim, 6126
flip which the FCC just approved, still passes for thin these days in the Nokia camp of plumpsters. Other than the 32MB flash
and 16MB RAM we now know this thing packs, the filing doesn't tell us more than we already knew: quad-band GSM/EDGE, a
2.2-inch, 320 x 240 internal display, 1.3 megapixel cam, and microSD slot for storage expansion. Worth the wait we
guess, if you're a Series 40 fan.Qtek 8500/HTC Star Trek available for pre-order
Much to the delight of our friends
across the pond, British phone e-tailer Expansys has posted a page for the Qtek 8500/HTC Star
Trek claiming a May 10th availability, further stating that UK customers can expect shipment in nineteen working days.
In case you've been living in a cave for the last few months, the Star Trek, also sold as the i-mate Smartflip and Dopod S300, is HTC's
first flip phone, and they've managed to pack a Windows Mobile 5.0-powered 200MHz OMAP processor, quad band GSM radio,
1.3 megapixel camera, 64MB of ROM, and music playback from a microSD slot into a 99-gram package. Expansys is charging
£360 to get your hands on the 'Trek, which means we'll probably be importing ours from Asia, for like, $200
cheaper.[Via Reg Hardware]
