There are some rumors from certain online sources that claim that there is this latest smartphone coming soon from HP. The device, supposedly called the iPAQ K3 Obsidian, will have a 2.46” QVGA resolution AMOLED display, 3.2MP camera, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, microSD slot and micro USB as well.
Additionally, this device will reportedly be powered by a 528MHz CPU with 256MB RAM. Nothing overly fantastic about the above specs, but you never know – this may turn out to be quite a smasher if it comes into the market like it is rumored to.
We at PhoneArea were pleasantly surprised when we learnt that Vodafone UK was launching a non-3G smartphone this year, the BlackBerry 8520. Of course, this is in rumor stage yet, but considering the image below, it looks like Vodafone UK will go the T-Mobile USA way, by promoting RIM’s latest QWERTY device, the BlackBerry 8520.
Further news is that Vodafone UK plans to sell this entry-level device at an “affordable price”. This is set to launch in August, alongside T-Mobile’s own launch. Stay tuned for more on this, folks.
