NexTouch NT 700 WiFi phone hits Korea
Given how many different Skype and VoIP handsets we've seen over the last several months, it's a wonder that new companies keep rolling 'em out. Well, get your WiFi routers ready, because AVING has just spotted a fresh one at the VoIP/IPTV WORLD 2006 expo in Korea: the NexTouch NT 700 WiFi phone. It looks pretty much like most of the other handsets that we've seen, with basically the same features, including support for 802.11 b/g networks, a three-hour talk time, 60 hours of standby time, and a keypad with Latin and Korean characters. Oh yeah, and it looks really tiny. We got bupkis with respect to price and availability, but we'll keep an eye (and an ear) trained across the Pacific for you.[Via MobileWhack]
NexTouch ET 500 802.11n WiFi phone
NexTouch is showing off their new ET 500 WiFi phone at the VoIP/IPTV World trade show. Ok, it's more an idea they're touting since the best the could do was prop up some renderings and the Samsung 802.11n chipset at the guts of the handset. Why all the bandwidth? Easy, this phone is meant for streaming voice and video (H.323 please) to that 2-inch, 176x220 pixel LCD. They don't provide any ship dates or price, but we can expect this and more .11n handsets to roll sometime after July when the IEEE can hopefully agree on a standard.
