I know SureType when I see it, and that’s definitely what’s going on with Nokia’s work-in-progress Wahoo, a flip phone due to hit up AT&T in the near future. Preliminary specs include:
- Quad-band GSM
- Dual-band HSDPA (850/1900 MHz)
- A-GPS
- 128 x 160 1.36″ external display, 240 x 320 2.2″ internal display
- 2 megapixel camera
- Bluetooth with A2DP support
- Four hours talk time
- 2.5mm headphone jack
- microSD memory card slot
To be totally honest, this looks like a way sexier version of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, and by offering GPS, Nokia has beat RIM to launching the BlackBerry 8210 down the line. The half-QWERTY layout will appeal to heavy texters as well as light e-mail users who still dig the flip form factor. Hopefully RIM will take a cue from the Wahoo for the next flip they release, and make something a little less chubby.
