The chaps over at Terminal.hu have just managed to get hold of some exclusive Xperia X1 images. The new pictures show the device will be running the yet-to-be-announced Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, and that explains why we weren’t allowed a thorough hands-on at Mobile World Congress 2008. That may not be a shocker, but the other tidbits of information we have gathered are rather interesting. Besides what we knew before, we can now tell the Xperia X1 will have a Qualcomm 7200A CPU running at 528 MHz, 128MB RAM and a nice ‘n’ juicy, 1500 mAh battery. Sure, we were not overwhelmed with our first gimped hands-on, but on paper it looks like this sure is one beast. The 528 MHz processor has us excited, but with it being Windows Mobile, we’ll be surprised if the onboard RAM doesn’t prove itself to be insufficient for heavy multitasking.
Fujitsu has joined hands with AuthenTec, the world’s leading provider of fingerprint sensors and solutions, to launch its latest mobile phone called FOMA F905i that incorporates AES1710 fingerprint sensor technology. However, only 14 AuthenTec-enabled cell phone models will be available.
The sensor-equipped global phone is compatible with international roaming via 3G and GSM cellular networks. Many phones allow various economical operations such as m-commerce and online banking, which require security to curb loss or theft. Read more… »

The Philips Xenium 9@9j is their latest phone which has a unique twist. The device can be powered by 2 different types of battery allowing you to carry a quick backup around with you should the occasion arise. The ordinary lithium ion battery can be found in the phone, but along side a AAA battery slot. Should the lithium ion battery die and you have no where to plug the phone in to charge it you can then pop in a AAA battery which are available everywhere and have up to 3 hours of talk time per battery.
I am not convinced that the extra bulk it ads to the phone is worth it although some people may find this feature handy.

Toshiba already got official with its G710 and G910 handsets last month, but it’s just now filled in that rather glaring numerical gap, with it taking the wraps off its new Portege G810 smartphone at MWC (not to be confused with Samsung’s also-just-announced G810). Like those other two, this one’s a Windows Mobile 6 device, and it boasts support for HSDPA and HSUPA, along with built-in GPS and A-GPS, and the always-welcome integrated WiFi and Bluetooth. Otherwise, you can expect a 2.8-inch QVGA touch screen, a 3 megapixel camera, a microSD card slot for expansion and even an FM radio in case all the usual PMP features aren’t enough for you. No word on a price, but you can look for this one to hit Europe sometime in the second quarter of this year.
