I got a new thing to play with yesterday. I bought a new cell phone. Audiovox SMT 5600. It has all the bells and whistles that you get on a regular cell phone. But this phone is more than that. It's a smart phone. That means I can use it as a PDA. And it comes with Windows Media Player 10. This phone also has a miniSD card slot. I just checked on the internet that now miniSD cards come in 1GB size too. I just ordered one from zipzoomfly. On 1GB card I can fit hundreds of songs and take them with me. The phone comes with stereo headset and a nice carrying case too. Here's a list of most notable features of this phone I like:
- 200 MHz ARM processor
- Windows Mobile 2003
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Windows Media Player 10
- Synchronization with Outlook Contacts, Calendar, Mail and To Do list over infrared, bluetooth and USB cable
- Battery charging when connected to PC with USB cable
- Really small and light (3.6 ounces)
- Big and Bright LCD
- Ability to install other software packages available for Smart Phone.
- It has a 'Flight Mode' which turns off all the radios, so I can keep using the PDA functions (and MP3 player) during air travel without breaking any rules.
There are several reviews of this phone available on the net:
