The new Pocket LOOX T Series: always in touch with your businessNew all-integrated handheld from Fujitsu Siemens Computers featuring Windows Mobile® Direct Push e-mail for anywhere, anytime data access

Mobile phone, notebook, navigation system, digital camera, VoIP headset, PDA, MP3 player, and don’t forget the right power adapter for each device. It’s quite a lot of gear for the business traveler to carry around - the term “unlimited mobility” is hardly one that would spring to mind.

Fortunately, Fujitsu Siemens Computers is bringing an end to all this. Europe’s leading IT company will unveil its Pocket LOOX T Series to the public at the 3GSM World Congress, which started today in Barcelona. Featuring Windows Mobile® Direct Push e-mail and UMTS mobile phone, this all-integrated handheld is a pocket-sized office that eliminates the need for multiple devices.

With Microsoft® Windows Mobile 5.0 software and UMTS functionality, Pocket LOOX T series users always have access to their e-mails, appointment calendar and other familiar Microsoft Office applications. And it’s user-friendly, with a standard QWERTY keyboard and brilliant TFT display. Incorporating these devices into the corporate network is straightforward, ensuring secure and reliable data transfer, while the integrated GPS makes sure you never get lost. The new high-end handhelds will arrive at shops in July for prices of approximately €700.

With annual growth rates of 70 percent in the handhelds market in 2005 Fujitsu Siemens Computers has established itself as a key mobility player in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Fast, efficient digital communication is becoming ever more crucial, particularly in the rapidly growing market for convergence products. With decades of IT and mobility experience, Fujitsu Siemens Computers is extremely well positioned for success in this convergence market. The company recognizes that business users require all-integrated devices, which over time, will replace conventional handhelds and mobile phones.

“It is vital for the mobile workforce to have the information they need at hand anytime and anywhere, and to have the means to respond quickly when it matters,” explained Peter Esser, Executive Vice President Volume Products & Supply Operations at Fujitsu Siemens Computers.

If you are tired of crappy phonecams then Samsung SCH B500 is the Camphone you has been looking for all these while, packed with a 7.7 megapixels camera, 3x optical zoom, Slide out keypad, nice big display screen, DMB for TV and video and of course the phone itself. This is almost a Digicam fans dreams coming true! SCH B500 are not yet available at the time of this article.

This camera phone is certainly more of a camera and less of a phone, especially when you see it from the back. The slider handset which goes by the name of SCH B500 is quite thick to accomodate the camera lens - 18.5 mm to be precise. The SCH B500 does not simply bank on the credit of having a 7.7 megapixel camera either; its a DMB phone so it can recieve and allow the user to view satellite TV as well. Since the phone can take such high resolution pictures, the user is bound to run out of storage space sooner or later, a problem easily solved by getting T-flash (trans flash) memory cards which the phone supports. The pictures can then be later seen on a TV screen thanks to the TV out function of the SCH B500.

The large display goes into landscape mode once the camera is activated. The SCH B500 is expected to be available to Korean users initially via SK Telecom.
