T-Mobile USA to gain Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5

[#2: Edit Options>MightyAdsense>Adsense Code]

Well finally it looks like Motorola is creeping out of the mobile shadows into the light of the mobile world, because Motorola has announced their upcoming flagship 5 megapixel camera-phone, the Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5 will launch in Asia ahead of the USA!!

According to Cellphonesignal.com it’s also possible Motorola could be preparing to launch the Kodak branded Motorola ZN5 stateside. While whispers on the net waves say that T-Mobile may be picking up this high end mobile phone from Moto, and as it lacks 3G essentially locking it to UMA compatible VoIP WiFi connection T-Mobile’s @Home UMA service seems the likely candidate.
Most have seen the Motorola ZN5’s 5 megapixel camera prove its worth in terms of image quality, and with the addition of Kodak’s Perfect Touch imaging tech the ZN5 shoots to higher levels. We are fairly sure the Motorola ZN5 will make a splash in the waters of the US, although the lack of 3G may make that only a small splash.

Verizon SMT5800

[#3: Edit Options>MightyAdsense>Adsense Code]

The SMT5800 looks like a typical Windows Mobile candybar phone at first glance, but it hides a slide-out keyboard for those who love to text or email. In all other respects the SMT5800 will bring all the good, and bad, that you would expect from Windows Mobile Standard, which is the non-touchscreen version. We liked the phone’s looks and durability, and if professional good looks were everything the SMT5800 would be ahead of the game. Unfortunately a very limited battery life should cause anyone looking at this device some pause.

As a Windows Mobile Standard phone, the SMT5800 manages to deliver a good suite of software. The platform is also very extensible, so if you don’t like some aspect of the phone, or want functionality that isn’t included initially, chances are there are tons of solutions out there for you. The only low points are how the software is limited compared to Windows Mobile Professional phones. For example, users can’t create new Word or Excel documents, but they can edit existing ones; the easy work-around for this is to always keep a blank file on your memory card.
Really, the SMT5800 would be a very intriguing option for a higher-end-looking Windows Mobile Standard device if it weren’t for its battery life. We tested two different versions of this phone, and neither set of results was good. Not only were the battery scores low in general, they simply weren’t congruous with the needs of typical smart phone users. Chances are, if you’re buying a smart phone, you need a phone plus a PDA with internet access. These devices are supposed to be built for heavy use, but the SMT5800 simply doesn’t have the endurance necessary for a phone of its class.

Section The Good The Bad
Tour & Design The phone certainly looks sharp and professional. Those who aren’t looking for professional will think this phone looks bland.
Audio Quality Everything. It makes many other phones insecure.
Imaging It can take both pictures and videos. It can’t do either particularly well.
Making/Receiving Calls The phone keeps the call log organized and its call and data timers are plentiful. The phone is slow to dial, won’t accept custom ringtones, and the non-audio alerts are weak.
Messaging The email and texting client should be great for most users. Professionals will wish they could manage multiple messages easier.
Organizer The organizer is definitely better than average. But, it’s not as good as the organizer in Series 60 phones and has no notes application.
Multimedia Windows Media Player is really easy to use. Windows Media Player doesn’t give as many organizational tools as some other media players we’ve seen.
Software Windows Mobile Standard is very extensible and a relatively easy to use platform. Compared to Windows Mobile Professional and other higher-end OSs, Standard is crippled.
Battery Life Sadly, there really isn’t much the SMT5800 does right in this category. The horrendous battery life basically condmens users to charging the phone every single night.
Connectivity The phone has Bluetooth. It has a limited selection of Bluetooth profiles and no wi-fi support.
Hardware The slide-out QWERTY is good, and the phone supports microSD cards up to 8GB. The screen is average and the on-board memory is barely there.
Other Features It can be used as a tethered modem. No GPS or other features, need to buy a plan for tethered modem use, or risk overages.
Value & Comparisons Really, the only thing holding the phone back is its terrible battery life. The battery life really is bad enough to nullify most other boons.

50% of HTC phones to run on Android next year?

The bad news (or at least rumors) just keep on piling for Windows Mobile.

This morning we’ve heard the talk that in addition to Symbian, Motorola might be dropping Windows Mobile OS on it’s new phones as well.

Now we are hearing that HTC is hard at work on a touchscreen device that might be even better then recently announced Palm Pre. At it won’t be carrying Windows Mobile, opting for Android OS as well.

According to Australian Telsra execs -  the new HTC device was better and more functional then Pre and will be a real competitor to both Palm Pre and iPhone.

They are probably talking about the successor of HTC G1 here and that it should be a significant improvement over the first test model. And I would not read anything more into it. For now…

HTC will have a new good high end touchscreen WM device this spring, and probably quite a few more through 2009. And WM devices will still make a bulk of the phones produced by HTC this year.

But going into 2010 things might become very different. A guy with some amazing inside sources in the industry says that HTC decided to strongly prioritize the development of Android phones and that already next year (2010) HTC inventory will be split 50/50 between WM and Android handsets.

So, if both reports – loosing Motorola and preference of HTC – are true, some pretty challenging years are ahead of Windows Mobile division at MS.
