Phandroid is all over a story regarding the T-Mobile Pulse, which I wrote about before here:
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 more interesting point though is that this device is supposedly running Android, and would have specs something like:
3.5 inch touchscreen
320 x 480 pixels resolution
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
Wi-Fi
GPS
Microsoft Exchange support
Bluetooth 2.0
3.2MP camera
MicroSD slot
Anyway, back to the story – one e-tailer in the Netherlands has come up with a date (October) and a price (250 Euros) for the Pulse. You can check out a google translation of the e-tailers site here, but for now you can also continue with your salivating over what could be a very astutely priced challenger to the ‘Best Android device on the market’ crown….
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.
