It’s been a while since we last heard anything from Philips. Today we caught their new device, which most us won’t be able to get. The reason is simple – it’s one of those smartphones destined for China and I assume some other Far East countries. That, however, doesn’t mean we should be sorry about it since the newly unveiled Philips W732 is far from a spectacular phone. There is one cool thing about it – it has a massive 2,400mAh battery that can apparently keep you web browsing for up to 10.5 hours. Alternatively, you can talk for up to 13 hours if that’s your cup of tea but it’s the browsing “part” that distinct this Philips phone from other devices. For instance, the Motorola RAZR MAXX can keep you talking for even more but its browsing time is limited to some 7.5 hours.
Anyway, rest of the W732′s specs include a 4.3-inch WVGA screen, 1GHz processor (single core?), HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, 5-megapixel camera on the back, GPS, Bluetooth and a memory card slot. Moreover, there are two SIM card slots with hot-swap capability, which is one of those must-have features in Asia… We’ve no idea how much the Philips W732 will cost but we do know it will be available in few color options, including black, pink, green, white and blue.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
