The renders of handsets from Dutch car manufacturer Spyker before Mobile World Congress didn’t quite pan out for the show, but a bevvy of pics have surfaced, dispelling any vaporware fears. Two sliders, a touchscreener and a traditional candybar phone are a part of this batch, all unnamed. All but the second slider use high-grade aluminum in their construction, making for a classy-looking and -feeling device. The EG200, pictured above, has a 3 megapixel camera, tri-band GSM and stereo Bluetooth support.
Both sliders are dual-SIM, tri-band GSM and host a 2 megapixel camera – construction looks like the only difference. Finally, the classic candybar has 3G, Wi-Fi, a 3 megapixel camera and a matching 1.3 megapixel video conferencing camera. Slick, if simple-looking phones. It’ll be interesting to see how Spyker fares in the long haul, and which carriers will be supporting these devices.
