Sagem - my501x and my215x

Couple of new handsets from Sagem the my501x and my215x ( I really think they need to have better names for their range of phones)

First Dual Sim Mobile Phone Announced

In Ireland we tend to carry a couple of phones around (Work and Personal) and lugging round two handsets can be a real pain, Chinese company Doubao has announced the ‘728′ a completely unremarkable handset if it wasn’t for the fact that it supports dual sim cards with full functionality.

Consequently a user can receive calls and messages simultaneously from two networks while also juggling usage of their tariffs to get best value. The 728 features a 2.2in touch screen with support for handwriting recognition, a microSD slot, and a VGA camera.

The phone will go on sale immediately in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan for the equivalent of just 100 euro. Unfortunately, the chance of us seeing this in Ireland are slim.

Sharp 812SH

Where sorry to say but we don’t think you’ll see the Sharp Pantone 812SH in Ireland, but it’s worth looking at all the same. The phone has been produced for Japanese operator Softbank and is being launched in twenty different hues simultaneously.

With a 2-megapixel camera, 2.4-inch 260k colour LCD screen and 0.8-inch OLED external screen and a microSD slot. It’s a 3G model and, since we’re talking Japan, also supports the FeliCa wireless payment system with face recognition security.

The phone is expected to be released next month

Motorola phones revealed

Most of the new handsets will be 3G and are basically 3G versions of previously announced handsets:

* KRZR K3 - Existing KRZR with 3G and second camera for video calling
* RIZR Z8 - Tweaked design of the RIZR with UMTS or HSDPA (not noted)
* Q EDGE - GSM version of the original Q
* Q2 - Updated Q in both HSDPA and EV-DO versions, expected at 3GSM

Garriques also mentioned the upcoming SCPL (Scalpel) line of handsets. The presentation notes that these devices will be broadband capable. So I guess lots to look forward to over the coming months.
