14 DAY TRIAL // Ezze SLT100 is a new mobile phone that has been recently approved by FCC and it could soon be available in the US market. Produced by Ezze Mobile Tech, a South Korean company, SLT100 is a mid-end handset that looks pretty nice and could be quite successful if launched by a major American carrier and priced wisely.
Ezze SLT100 comes in a slider form factor, and although its dimensions were not unveiled, it seems to be around 16 millimeters thick. Which, for a slider, is not that much. We don't have all the details about the new Korean phone, but we know that it features tri-band 2G connectivity (GSM850, DCS1800 and GSM1900), a decent-sized touchscreen display (its resolution is unknown yet) with handwriting recognition, TV out, Bluetooth, Music player with equalizer and support for MP3, WAV, MIDI, AMR and iMelody, Video player, FM radio, a 2.0 Megapixel camera with flash and video recording, email (with support for POP3 and IMAP4), WAP browser, microSD card support, Photo caller ID, embedded games, e-book reader, To Do list, unit converter, BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator, stopwatch and other similar applications.
Although the FCC report and the user manual of the phone clearly show that the SLT100 is manufactured by Ezze Mobile Tech from South Korea, there are two things about the device that are a bit weird. On its front case, there's the logo of Malata, one of the top 100 Chinese electronics manufacturer specialized in producing LCD screens. OK, this could mean the display of Ezze SLT100 is made by Malata. But on the back of the Ezze handset we can see the logo of Zonda, which is a Mexican mobile phone manufacturer. And this doesn't actually make sense. It's like Nokia, Finland-based, would make a handset and put the logo of RIM, Canada-based, on its back.
The SLT100 phone is not yet listed on Ezzo's website, so for the moment we can't give you more details about it. Anyway, since it passed the FCC tests, Ezze SLT100 is ready for a US release - the GSM 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies make it suitable to work on AT&T's network. So, who knows, we might see it soon AT&T-branded.
