Lenovo has a new smartphone coming out, the ET980.
It's a GSM
Windows Mobile 5.0 phone that supports GPRS/WAP/Java and has a built-in
MP3 player. The four
megapixel pocket pc smartphone is small and you can hold it easily on your hand. You can have a numeric keypad attached to it like
Sony Ericsson P series smartphone. Remarkably, it's even smaller than the Treo, measuring 110 x 20 x 60 mm.
Lenovo's new ET980 stands out from the crowd because of its built-in four megapixel digital
camera. This may be the highest resolution you can get in a Windows Mobile device, at least for the moment. When keypad is not attached, all functions can be done through the touch screen or a few quick access buttons at the bottom. The ET980 has a 312MHz processor, 64MB of
RAM and 128MB of flash ROM, a
Mini SD card slot.
Unfortunately, the device is unlikely to hit the US anytime soon, but it will be available on the market in March 2006.
