Mobile World Congress roundup: cellphone mania


Whew, it was quite a day for cellphones at the Mobile World Congress, and there's more to come this week -- but if you haven't been watching Engadget Mobile (where the full coverage is being posted) or are just getting up to speed, here's everything that's gone down.

Toshiba announces Portege G810 smartphone

Toshiba already got official with its G710 and G910 handsets last month, but it's just now filled in that rather glaring numerical gap, with it taking the wraps off its new Portege G810 smartphone at MWC (not to be confused with Samsung's also-just-announced G810). Like those other two, this one's a Windows Mobile 6 device, and it boasts support for HSDPA and HSUPA, along with built-in GPS and A-GPS, and the always-welcome integrated WiFi and Bluetooth. Otherwise, you can expect a 2.8-inch QVGA touch screen, a 3 megapixel camera, a microSD card slot for expansion and even an FM radio in case all the usual PMP features aren't enough for you. No word on a price, but you can look for this one to hit Europe sometime in the second quarter of this year.

Samsung's HSDPA-equipped G810 slider gets official


Maybe it's just us, but the image pictured above sure looks a helluva lot sexier than the blurry depiction we saw of Samsung's G810 just last week. Along with just about everyone else in the mobile world, Samsung is making its striking do-it-all slider official at Mobile World Congress, and it's packin' quite the specs list. We're talking HSDPA, a 5-megapixel camera with face detection, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and image stabilization, a 2.6-inch QVGA display, built-in GPS / WiFi, a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack and a 12.9-millimeter-thick frame. All that's for sure is a March 2008 release for those in Europe, but word on the street pegs it right around €580 ($840).
