The FCC just approved a new Pocket PC Phone running on Windows Mobile 5 operating system; this time it is not manufactured by HTC but by another Taiwanese giant Gigabyte. The phone is called XDA Stealth as it should be offered by O2 carrier. The Stealth is in slider form-factor and on its upper slider it has 2.4 QVGA touch-display, 5-way navigation key that also acts as music-navigator, ANSWER and REJECT and a couple of Windows-dedicated keys. On the inside, it offers all the functionality known from Windows Mobile PPC phones, with built-in miniUSB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and 2-megapixel camera with LED light. XDA Stealth's main specs:
- Tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900 MHz); GPRS
- Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC Phones
- Intel PXA 272 416MHz processor; 192MB ROM, 64MB RAM; miniSD slot for memory
- miniUSB, Bluetooth v1.2, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
- 2.4 inch 240x320 QVGA TFT Touch display showing up to 65536 colors
- 2-megapixel camera with Flash; Video Recorder
- 4.30 x 2 x 0.88, 5.3oz (110 x 53 x 22.5mm, 150gr)
The phone is expected to launch on the O2 network. We hope that Gigabyte will develop version of it suitable for the States (850MHz GSM) in the future.
