The iDo P890 Saturn Pocket PC Phone Looking pretty good	By Sergiu Gatlan, Communications News Editor 5th of February 2007, 10:10 GMT Adjust text size:


When I first saw its name I was ready to bet it must be one of the Sony Ericsson Chinese clones I've stumbled upon last week. But this isn't a case for you to place your bets, because this handheld, the iDo P890 aka Saturn, doesn't try to resemble any other handset out there but, instead, it really comes with a slick and beautiful figure which proves quite refreshing when compared to the other smartphones out there on the market. The P890 device has been launched by iDo in Hong Kong and runs a Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Edition operating system. To accomplish this task it uses a FreeScale i.MX21 350 MHz processor with an embedded MP4 HW Decoder, helped by 128 MB of Flash ROM and 64 MB of SDRAM. The Saturn is a tri-band handset working on GSM/GPRS 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz networks and features a 2.8 inch 262k colors LTPS TFT LCD touchscreen display working at 240x320 pixels resolution, a 2 megapixel digital camera with a CMOS sensor and 8x digital zoom, a full featured QWERTY keyboard that slides from beneath the display, wireless Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo A2DP and EDR profiles, 802.11 b/g WLAN connectivity, Infrared, a miniUSB 1.1 connector, a miniSD memory expansion card slot with support for SDIO cards, all these carefully packed up in a side-sliding form factor measuring 126 x 59.4 x 22.4 mm and weighing 195 grams. The handset's digital camera can record MPEF4 videos and its multimedia player offers support for MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC and AAC audio files and MPEG4, H.263, 3GP, ASF and WMV video files. If you want to buy yourself one of the Saturn P890 handhelds launched by iDo on the Hong Kong market you will have to take a trip there and pay 4980 Hong Kong dollars for it (around 640 US dollars).
