IXI Mobile looks to be shaking up its line of Ogo mobile messaging devices in a big way, today introducing the Ogo CT-25E, which the company says is the first in its new Ogo 2.0 family of devices. In light of recent developments, Swisscom will not surprisingly be the first to offer the handheld, which IXI is boasting will "do for Web 2.0 what the original Ogo did for the first generation internet services." While we'll have to wait and see about that, the device certainly looks to be a step in the right direction, with a QVGA display, full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2,0, and quad-band EDGE/GPRS connectivity, as well as some welcome PMP features, with a microSD slot providing some much-needed additional storage. If the device's integrated features are enough for 'ya, IXI looks ready to meet your expansion needs with its so-called OgoClips, which'll let you add everything from digital cameras to bottle openers (yes, bottle openers) to the device. Unfortunately, there's no word on an exact price or launch date for the new-and-improved Ogo, though you can check out plenty of pics of it and its various attachments in the gallery below.
I had an original ogo with AT&T and loved it. The only issue was that it wouldn't work in my house. Not a good enought signal. Bummer. The 2.0 looks sweet though. I'll buy one up if it will work for T-Mob
Had IXI done this in the begining 3+ years ago, Cingular may have never let them go, and, This could have been their "sidekick".
IT already has the functionality of most phones out there now.. so why do I switch? Give me a good reason.
You switch because of the cool bottle opener. Der.
Mmmmmmmm.... If you need a reviewer when this thing comes state-side...
With no wifi it's useless to me..
"optional WiFi (802.11 B/G) on CT-25EW"
those who read will see the light
looks nice, but I want to see the software it runs. the original was pretty much crap.
Their list of countries where its available is too small. Does anyone know if this is a SIM locked device and does it need a specific service from a mobile operator ? If not then it certainly is something i would like to buy.
