Routine Order

The world’s first fully touchscreen Phone is not the iPhone (which I wrote about earlier). It is LG’s Prada phone.

Ooh, doesn’t it look sexy? The phone is limited to tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 with EDGE data, and so will not be too popular in the US from the get-go. It’s smaller than the iPhone and it has a 2 megapixel camera (with Schneider-Kreuznach lens and LED flash). It is also Bluetooth 2.0 enabled (what phone isn’t eh?). It’s already listed as a top-seller at the UK mobile phones site. It totally sucks to be in the US of A, for those of you who are there. First there was the Nokia N95 which became popular in Europe way before it was launched in the US, and now this. The US has some serious technology lag, except when it comes to junk like the PS3 which hit the stores in the US first.

Apple’s iPhone is not out the door, and iPhone accessory speculation is already rife. The article mentions that all iPod accessories will be compatible with the iPhone - and speculates that iPhone screen protectors and cases will be hot items. I am just amazed at the amount of buzz the iPhone has generated, and talking about accessories months before the main product is launched is just the height of pre-release buzz.

What we do know about the iPhone from wikipedia is that it might be released in June 2007. I really don’t find the iPhone so droolworthy, as far as features and utilities are concerned I would be much happier with the Nokia N95 as I mentioned previously on this blog.
