Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaser81 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share 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 Confucious Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squall Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 i think 2003 does have some wifi support, there are entries for it in the registery anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bronksy Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest someone Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share 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 :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zen123 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xenophobe Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share 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.
