The Mago Premium Smartphone is One Slick Device
Posted by Raphael Salgado in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 AM
MSMobileNews has posted some details on a Windows Mobile phone that could easily make you do a "double-take." While it's not certain when it will go into production, the engineers and designers of the Mago have gone to great lengths to put this thing together, that it would be tragic not to have this device in our repertoire.
Call it "the Vertu for the Windows Mobile platform," this sleek, quadband GSM device has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, a 624MHz Intel CPU, 128MB RAM, 128MB Flash ROM, a 2.8" TFT LCD, and Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC (yes, I know they call it a Smartphone). Using "advanced materials, hi-tech aerospace technologies and special scratch resistant coatings for housing and mechanical parts," the Mago is encased in grade-5 titanium, stainless steel, and magnesium, for a solid feel weighing in at 215 grams. A Russian website shows some detailed technical information and more pictures of the Mago, including a comparison to the Qtek 9100 and a possible pricetag of 3,000 Euros! 8O Unfortunately, there's no mention of EDGE, UMTS, or HSDPA. Still a looker, though! What do you think?
