Electricpig is again on the case, and Android again in the frame: this time it’s the next Android device from T-Mobile apparently.
T-Mobile are supposedly following their G1 with a new device from Huawei – whilst the Chinese manufacturer gives it the somewhat boring ’8220′ code, T-Mobile could be calling this baby the ‘Pulse’, if the rumours are right.
The evidence behind the rumours is that the 8220 just got its WiFi interoperability certificate, where it is named as the ‘T-Moble Pulse’.
Specs-wise, maybe a bit less exciting than the Samsung i7500 Galaxy on O2 – the Pulse/8220 will get a 3.5 inch screen, some WiFi (obviously), a bit of Bluetooth, 3MP camera, and just 256MB on-board memory (but there’s a card slot).
Time, as usual, will tell whether the device, it’s name, and the specs, all end up being correct.
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
