WILLCOM 03

Willcom announced its latest super-phone – WILLCOM 03. As you’re about to see the new Windows Mobile 6.1 device has everything a user could think of, including high-speed connectivity radio(s), powerful CPU, large screen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, mobile TV and so much more. In addition, the bottom part of the device sports some sort of smart keypad, which morphs from numeric keypad to D-pad.

Enough rant, let’s go through specs, shell we:

  • CPU: Marvell PXA270 520MHz
  • OS: Windows Mobile 6.1
  • Display: 3-inch VGA touchscreen, 65K colors. However, it’s important to add they (+D Mobile) refer to VGA as 480×800 pixels, so it’s WVGA actually!
  • Connectivity: 3G, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, IrDA 1.2/IrSS
  • Camera: 2 megapixel with auto-focus (why not more)
  • Mobile TV: One-seg receiver
  • Memory: 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, microSD expansion slot
  • Dimension: 50x116x17.9 mm, weight: 135 grams
  • Colors: gold, pink, lime

In a nutshell, it’s the Japanese version of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 with lower megapixel camera, but with a mobile TV radio. More images follow after the jump.
