The Computex has proved to be an excellent occasion for displaying the latest high tech mobile devices. Among them, GSmart t600 from Gigabyte also took its part of the glory, as it was officially unveiled.

This is actually the first mobile TV which comes with a Smartcard profile. Moreover, this handset is capable of providing high-end entertainment, including DVB-T/H and T-DMB/DAB.

The advantage that GSmart t600 brings is that of free mobile TV. Its users can benefit from high quality TV and radio transmissions with no extra charge. The fact that this handset comes with a 2.6 inch display screen only adds to the performance capabilities when it comes to rendering video and still images. Moreover, GSmart t600 has a 260k VGA screen capable of a resolution of up to 480 x 640 pixels, which is quite high for any regular PDA phone.

GSmart t600 comes in an exquisite design, with smooth, simple lines and a white case, which considerably adds a touch of personality. Actually, it looks rather like an iPod, with its large, round navigation button positioned at the bottom of the display.

This smartphone comes with Windows Mobile 6 Professional installed. This also means that it has Office tools all packed along with Windows Media Player and Pocket MSN. Moreover, it is capable of supporting a wide range of video and audio formats, as it also has an integrated MP3 player. A data storage space of up to 256MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM is provided, along with the extra capacity of a microSD card. Connectivity is available through TV-OUT, Bluetooth 2.0 and Mini USB 2.0.

GSmart t600 is available for purchase in the Taiwan region from now on. An estimate price has not been revealed yet for this smartphone.
