New Palm OS-compatible phone arriving in Russia
Share this page:
Developed by Emblaze Mobile, the Edelweiss phone has brilliant hardware specifications - quadband GSM, triband UTMS, a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera, 3.5" 262k 848 x480 pixel capacitive glass touchscreen with haptic feedback, WiFi, Bluetooth, tilt, proximity and light sensors, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, all in a relatively svelte 115 x 56 x 12.3mm package.
There are no signs that the Edelweiss will be released anywhere else in the world, but given that one of its primary competitors - Apple's iPhone - costs $990 (also from MTS), if ALP is any good the Edelweiss should see brisk sales (making the easy assumption that it will cost less).

If this thing does materialize, then atleast us ATT T-Mobile users could import it and use it just fine, instead of living by verizon's communist control.

prada was not the first. palms and htc have had touchscreen phones out for over past 3 years, ever heard of the treo650 or htc xv6600. and those were not the first. please do your research before posting comments and having other ignorant people believing you.

I bought my samsung i300 8 years ago, it had a touch screen back then. iPhone is innovative in a few different ways, but the touch screen is not one of them.

Those devices mentioned WERE finger operated, as was the Samsung i300 from 8 years ago. Just because they came with a stylus doesn't mean you couldn't use your finger quite effectively with them.
