Guest nedge2k Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 [teaser] In all their leaked, blurry goodness, the MyPDACafe forums have some shots of upcoming devices on O2 Asia; the Jupiter Smartphone and the Mars PocketPC. Pics and specs after the jump... [/teaser] The Jupiter will be a 3G Smartphone with miniSD (under battery), video calling camera and that's about all the information we have! The Mars (not made by HTC, possibly ASUS) has the following specs: 520Mhz Intel Bulverde - About same performance as 400Mhz Samsung CPU GPRS, EDGE, UMTS - no HSDPA 64RAM, 128ROM WiFi & Bluetooth Mini SD Slot Slide Out QWERTY 2MP Camera - no Marco Finally, O2 Asia will also be releasing a device called the Stealth. This will be a rebranded version of a Gigabyte g-Smart. Not sure which one though as it's reported to have a T9 slide out keypad. The only g-Smart with a slide out kyepad is the original g-Smart which, due to it's lack of memory, did not support T9. So, it could possibly be a standard g-Smart with 128ROM but who knows. I'd certainly want one of those :D They'll also be releasing the HTC Love (formerly HTC Artemis). No word on what that will be called though. [source]
Guest FragMeister Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Mars and Jupiter? Aren't they the 2 discs in Red Hot Chili Peppers latest album Stadium Arcadium?
Guest nedge2k Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 They are :D Although considering they also have the XDA Cosmo comming out, I highly suspect they're going for a space-y vibe as opposed to a rock vibe :D
Guest Prosody Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) In other related news O2 announced today they were axing the XDA Pluto from their line up... :D (Had to be done... :D ) Edited September 4, 2006 by Prosody
Guest Jakob Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Hmm.. Look at >> THIS LINK << from HTC Innovation - he
Guest Pigo Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 I like that the keyboard uses all the space available... unlike the wizard and the hermes. Pigo
Guest HerpezP Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 I'm really interested to find out whether the Jupiter has WiFi. I guess only time will tell. If it does, I don't hope this is an Asian-only release...

Unfortunately O2 Asia have always done things a bit differently to the rest of the world so it's doubtful we'll see them :D I really want them to release the "Stealth" over here but I don't see it happening

Have anyone tried to port a T9 dictionary onto an imported phone? I know it was possible to do on a C500, but the T9-DLL file had to be from another C500, so I don't know if it will be possible to take a DLL file from another phone and port it. It depends on how customised the file is for the device I guess... They should make a standard T9-DLL-file format which would work on all WM5 Smartphones for instance, but I guess the operators wouldn't be too happy about that.
Guest markdotpeters5 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 are o2 not bringing out the hermes then? sorry if this has been answered elsewhere

Actually, the T9 phonepad app found on most HTC PPC devices works fine on the g-Smart and the Eten G500 but that only works for on-screen typing :D
Guest nedge2k Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 are o2 not bringing out the hermes then? sorry if this has been answered elsewhere Yep, as the XDA Trion but only in Germany at the moment.
Guest Laser_iCE Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 I like that the keyboard uses all the space available... unlike the wizard and the hermes. Pigo The only negative thing I see about this is that when you're holding it, your thumbs will be coming back towards your palms alot... Mind you, I just held my hands up then ... As long as they're not TOO close to the edge that it's uncomfortable and feels flimsy :D
