We know Intel won’t give up on the mobile space that easily even though it still struggles to convince major companies to make smartphones using Atom-based chips. So far we’ve seen few devices rocking Intel’s Atom Z2460 processor — including the Lava XOLO X900, Orange San Diego and Lenovo K800 — and now Russia’s mobile operator MegaFon is joining the party with its own-branded device called the Mint.
Specs wise, it seems almost identical to other smartphones listed above, rocking a 4.03-inch 600×1024 pixels touchscreen, 1.6 GHz single-core Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, 16GB of built-in storage, NFC, GPS, Bluetooth and a 1,460 mAh battery. Sadly Android 2.3 Gingerbread rather than Ice Cream Sandwich is running the show.
As for the price, MegaFon is asking 17,990 rubles for the Mint, which translates into some $565 or 455 EUR, whatever works for you…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
