Tag Heuer Alligator Skin Android Phone For $6,700 |
Vertu phones. Tag Heuer. Can’t afford them and we don’t really want one anyway. Tag Heuer’s latest offering is an Android smartphone running Android Froyo 2.2. Outdated enough for you?
It will cost you $6,700 to rock that old OS too. Did we mention that it features Alligator skin as well? Basically an animal died to bring you this ugly outdated and overpriced phone. They shouldn’t have.
Sharp AQUOS Hybrid 007SH: World’s first Clamshell Android phone |
Though it isn’t something I would brag about, Sharp’s latest offering, the AQUOS Hybrid 007SH captures 3D Photos and videos and is the world’s first clamshell phone to run the Android OS. The phone also features a 3.4″ WVGA 3D New Mobile ASV touchscreen.
Other features include a 16.10 megapixel rear camera with a high-definition 720p video recording mode, AQUOS TV connector, WiFi, Bluetooth and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). It also has an attractive IPX5/IPX7 waterproof body that keeps it safe in water. The phone’s keypad also has ergonomically placed keys to make typing easier.
Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot Android phone photo surfaces |
Xperia blog has some new images of what it claims is a new Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot cellphone. Not surprisingly, the photos are pretty blurry, but they show both the Sony Ericsson brand name and the Cyber-shot logo. There also appears to be three buttons common to Android OS phones.
This is by no means official, but we have no reason not to believe it so far and Cyber-shot fans have been waiting for a new Android-based version of the cellphone with high quality imaging and resolution. Sony executives have so far refused to comment. Interesting.
Non-Verizon Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Android phone passes through FCC |
The Xperia Play has been officially announced for Verizon’s network when it arrives in the US this year, but according to some reports, this might not be the case after all. That’s because an Xperia Play recently passed through the FCC, but it doesn’t have any CDMA or 4G LTE radios that would allow the phone to run on Verizon’s network.
The phone packs radios that would allow it to work on UMTS frequencies (900/2100mHz), not what Verizon uses. However there could be a simple explanation. There may be a simultaneous release of the Xperia Play on multiple networks (in which case, the Verizon version of the phone hasn’t been through the FCC yet), or Sony Ericsson has decided to release the phone on a different carrier for some reason.
P8000 Moon may be Pantech’s first Android phone for AT&T |
Not a single one of AT&T’s Pantech-branded handsets thus far has been powered by the Android operating system, but the Pantech Moon P8000 may change all of that. This smartphone recently visited the FCC and features support for AT&T 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
It might not ship with a QWERTY keyboard, so there’s that to consider. And we don’t have any info on when they plan to roll out the Pantech Moon P8000, but we will let you know when we have more info.
ZTE X850 Android phone launched |
The ZTE X850 is the first Android-powered handset from ZTE and will target the entry-level market instead of the high end like most of the recent Android phones. The specifications aren’t too bad, except for the small 2.8″ 320 × 240 resolution touchscreen display.
It’s powered by a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor with 3D hardware acceleration, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack and an integrated FM radio. The ZTE X850 packs Android 2.1 and supports WCDMA radio. It will be sold by China Unicom in China.
A $50,000 Android Phone |
If you think that your phone was expensive, think again. The Ulysse Nardin Chairman phone is $50K and doesn’t even run Froyo. Instead you get 2.1. CrunchGear recently went hands on with the phone to see what you get for $50k. Turns out, you also get a dock.
A dock unlike any other, with polished wood panels, speakers and USB ports. Still not worth $50K, but we won’t tell the rich. Hit up the link to get the full scoop if you are shopping for an insane luxury phone.
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Android phone announced |
You sure took your time Rachel. We’ve been waiting for you. Finally you have arrived, all officially like. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Android phone is a first for the company.
It packs a 1GHz Qualcomm processor, a large 4 inch touch screen display, an 8.1 megapixel camera and of course, the Rachel interface that everyone thought was the name of the phone. The XPERIA X10 will not be available until next year though. By the time it does show up it should be one of the fastest phones on the market.
