Guest robotmonster Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Is this the first Smartphone announced with forthcoming Magneto OS? It's from Korean company Newgen and includes Wi-Fi and a QVGA display. Taken from this site.

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Good find, but what makes you think it's Magneto? Sure, it doesn't look like Smartphone 2003, but, well, something just looks wrong... P
Guest Chaser81 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 * FM radio. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is the only bit I would query. I remember the confusion with the C500 caused when some marketing people saw the option on the phone for "Radio Off" and thought there was a radio on that (it turned out to be the option to disable the antenna and enable Flight Mode).
Guest Gears Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Here you go guys there's deffo no Magneto.
Guest squall Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 400mhz and 128mb ram :? that sounds good, but if its not magnito whats with the stange homescreen? even the message / battery bar look different
Guest psneddon Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Its probably just a mock up, doubt thats actually real software running there. Paul
Guest squiggs1982 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) Here you go guys there's deffo no Magneto. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's got WiFi but no bluetooth???!!!?? It would have been perfect... :lol: Any idea when it's out? Wonder if they'll include BT before release? Edited February 21, 2005 by squiggs1982
Guest Confucious Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 I thought WiFi was incl in Magneto but there were no drivers for 2003? Either 1) it's running Magneto or 2) they've got 2003 drivers or 3) I've misunderstood something. I'd go for option 3 myself....
Guest squall Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 i think 2003 does have some wifi support, there are entries for it in the registery anyway...
Guest Microsoft Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 240X320 pixels 262144 colours TFT LCD display screen. *Me vote magneto*
Guest Confucious Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Newgen actually has a ? after WiFi - if they don't know then who does! :shock:
Guest bronksy Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 I think it's implying it can support WiFi, probably via SD card. If i'm not mistaken the SPVE200 can support this with some tweaking..
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Gets my vote and I want to have a play :lol:: Wonder what the release schedule is?
Guest squiggs1982 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Gets my vote and I want to have a play :lol:: No one else bothered about the lack of bluetooth, or have I just missed it? :| Wonder what the release schedule is? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Guest Leaskovski Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This device spec hasn't got bluetooth!! WTF!! Get with the times! Yeah, sack that load of rubbish if it hasn't got bluetooth! It aint gonna work with my car kit! Paaarrrrp! :roll: Edited February 21, 2005 by Leaskovski
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) 240X320 pixels 262144 colours TFT LCD display screen. 2003 can't do that res can it? Edited February 21, 2005 by ClintEastman
Guest hecatae Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 *Me vote magneto* /me vote magneto too
Guest someone Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 That design is awesome! A slide phone running Windos Mobile, never seen that before 8) (exept some prototypes) Ad it's quite small too, only a bit thicker than a SE T610. I vote (and hope for) WM2005 too, becuase: why 128MB Ram and 400MHz needed for WM2003? Why would WM2003 need such a screen? Why would they put a screenshot of WM2005 (if it is one) on the device when it will be running WM2003? Enough reasons to go for magneto. I guess that Newgen put WM2003 at the specs because MS will not allow any publications about the new OS they are working on..but why do they add a possible screenshot of WM2005 to the picture? Okay, I'm confused :?:
Guest zen123 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 I'd have thought bluetooth would be a much more important feature than wifi in a smartphone. If it did have bt then it would certainly be on my shortlist for my next phone.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 2003 can't do that res can it? It can...
Guest xenophobe Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Bet even if it will ship with WM 2005, Microsoft probably doesn't want people talking about it until it's ready to happen. So, I can understand if the manufacturer shows the mockup with it, but aren't allowed to "officially announce" it until they get MS approval.
Guest Microsoft Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 It can... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Intresting, why dose not C500 run 240X320 pixels then? Really wierd because its screen do handel it.
Guest xenophobe Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Intresting, why dose not C500 run 240X320 pixels then? Really wierd because its screen do handel it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The C500 is 177x220 maximum...
