14 DAY TRIAL // Groupe Sense PDA has announced on its website the new M70 smartphone, a Palm OS 5.4 Garnet enabled device, with support for GSM 900/1800/1900 Mhz. An important feature that could make him more desirable than its direct competitor, the Treo 680, is the push email support (with viewing and editing attachments capability), which is one of the things that made the T-Mobile Australia to refuse the Treo 860.
The smartphone has a great pack of features, a 260k colors 2.2 inch TFT touch-screen, 176x220 in size, a 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera, with digital zoom, video recording and playback (with support for MPEG4 and 3GPP), MP3 playback, an unspecified ARM 9 processor, full screen Chinese and English handwriting support and Bluetooth communication and synchronization. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard, this being the major flaw anyone can see right away.
It also has support for GPRS Class 10, xHTML, WAP 2.0, MMS, SMS, an external SD memory card expansion slot and connectivity through USB, Infrared and Bluetooth.
We don't have any info about the M70's price, release date or carrier availability, but we can guess about the area of the release, knowing the fact that the Groupe Sense PDA devices are normally sold in countries from the Asian mobile market.
