The Lenovo Phone is set to go head to head with iPhone - at least in China. When it comes to the features, it has rear and front cameras, a removable battery and a 3.5 mm head phone jack located at the bottom of the handset. Rory Read, head of Lenovo in the US, joked, "Try and do that with your iPhone," while talking about the virtues of this mobile phone. During its latest press conference, popular electronics company Lenovo announced a mobile phone initially intended to meet the needs of the fast growing Chinese market - the Lenovo Phone. Just like the other news making announcement of this company, which is the Skylight netbook, this phone runs on the Snapdragon processor by Qualcomm. When trying out the phone, you'll instantly notice that it is very responsive, and is a lot like the iPhone is this respect. It also has WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and has inherent support for WCDMA or Wideband Code Division Multiple Access 3G. There is a proprietary 9 pin socket for peripherals and for charging as well.
As mentioned, it comes with a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. It has a surprisingly huge AMOLED touch screen display that measures 3.7 inches and has WVGA resolution. There are several dedicated touch gesture buttons at the bottom of the screen. In fact, there are several features that are quite similar to what you'll find in the Google Nexus One. The only problem with the Lenovo LePhone is that it is available only in China at the moment. The manufacturer is planning to test the market response first before releasing this phone worldwide. There's no word yet as to whether this smart phone will be GSM based or CDMA based, and it's unclear why this important fact has not yet been officially announced by Lenovo. If you pay through debit or credit card, you have to wait only a few hours to have your mobile phone service activated. On the other hand, should you wish to have more information about this, you can click On Your Mobile. You can also give your mobile phone number so someone from Rediff can contact you and help you set up your mobile account.
This phone has a 3.7 inch color transflective TFT touch screen display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. It has a built-in attachable QWERTY keyboard which is one of its kind. It doesn't have a directional pad or a scroll wheel anymore since the touch screen and keyboard should be enough for you to be able to navigate the mobile phone easily. This mobile phone has a 40-chord melody for the call alerts, and has a vibrating alert as well. This smart phone runs on a 1000 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor, similar to the Lenovo Skylight netbook. That just shows you how powerful this CPU is - if it's enough to power a laptop, it's definitely enough to power a mobile phone. It comes with a 256 MB ROM and 256 MB RAM capacity. Lenovo is a well-known multinational corporation focusing on computer technology. It is currently the 4th biggest seller of personal computers worldwide, and is the number 1 biggest seller in China, where it was able to capture a stunning 28.6% market share. Although it has only entered the world of mobile phone late 2009, the company is now the 3rd biggest seller of mobile handsets in China. Coming out with the Lenovo LePhone will further cement the company's status as a big player in the Chinese market.
