Gigabyte gets official with g-Smart i120

by Chris Ziegler, posted Nov 24th 2006 at 12:09PM

Last time we touched base with the g-Smart i120, the Windows Mobile 5 candybar was making waves over at Taiwan's Computex shindig; this time around, the news is of a slightly more official nature, with Gigabyte triumphantly announcing the TV-friendly Pocket PC in a press release. Though we'd have to put that tricky keypad through its paces ourselves before signing off on its goodness, the specs don't lie: you get a 2.1 megapixel cam, 256MB of ROM with miniSD expansion, Bluetooth, FM radio, 64MB of RAM, 802.11b / g (for when the GPRS data speeds don't quite cut it) -- and perhaps most notably, a TV tuner capable of pulling in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM with recording capability. As is too often the case, North America is left in the lurch without GSM 850 (come on, Gigabyte!) but we're counting on our global readers to let us know how that offset keypad pans out, y'hear?

GSM-wise we use 90% 1900, devices like the origional sidekick didn't even have 850 it was single band. 850 is predominantly used in rural areas where it made more sinceto recycle towers and bandwidth existing already than to build new, so I will bring this over and even use the fact that while working at cingular got all the info I need to have a prepaid smartphone, no contract no etf, just smartphone love when I want it.
