14 DAY TRIAL // When a mobile phone gets the FCC approval, in almost all cases, it won't be long until the phone starts shipping. Such is the case of the Vodafone 1210, the mobile operator's first 3G smartphone launched under its own brand.
The smartphone is being launched by Vodafone Portugal, and mainly targets business users, thus not including a camera or video calling capabilities. It does on the other hand provide broadband Internet access, through the use of 384kbps 3G technology, and allows business users to easily create, view or edit documents with the help of specific software such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint and a PDF reader.
Through the Vodafone Mobile E-mail service, one can use various applications such as e-mail, calendar, address book, Internet or Intranet. Although not exactly packed with multimedia features, the phone will allow the processing of multimedia content such as music tracks and videos.
The main advantage of the smartphone, comparing to other devices of this type, is its affordable price. In fact, the Vodafone 1210 comes with the lowest price in its range, available for purchase at only 190 Euro and doesn't compromise design-wise either.
As we all know that Mobile E-mail is very important for corporate users, Vodafone has made this service more accessible as well, by offering the phone for only 20 Euro, with 20 Euro worth of free calls included, provided the customer agrees to a 24-month contract with activation of the voice service and Mobile E-mail.
Therefore, corporate users who need a camera-less, affordable, Windows Mobile 5.0 powered smartphone, should really look this phone up.
