AXIA A308, the World's Smallest PDA Phone

Fifth Media Sdn. Bhd. announced the launch of the world's smallest PDA phone running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 OS, AXIA A308.

Measuring only 0.8 x 1.9 x 4.5 inch in size, the handset offers a lot of power thanks to a 416MHz Intel CPU and comes with a 2.2 inch QVGA LCD, 1.3 megapixel camera and miniSD slot.

In terms of connectivity, AXIA A308 is a quad-phone featuring GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and WiFi. "Its compact size and built-in WiFi will set this device apart as a business tool" is the opinion of Bernard Bowiz, Chief Technical Adviser of Fifth Media Sdn. Bhd.

The first AXIA PDA Phone, the A108, was well received when it was introduced last year at the CeBIT exhibition. AXIA A308 is the latest model of the series of PDA phones which combines the familiar form of a regular phone with full PDA functions. Julius Grohe, Fifth Media's Director of Global Sales states: "There are no devices currently in the market that delivers on the AXIA A308's unique proposition of being a compact PDA Phone with WiFi capabilities. Furthermore, the pricing of the AXIA A308 will make the device very attractive."

The handset will be presented at the CeBIT exhibition in Hannover, Germany, which will take place between the 9th and 15th of March 2006.
