With the new Gigabyte GSmart S1205 smart phone, being able to have the convenience of two active SIM cards in one device comes at a price: no 3G. This may not be an issue for some business class users, which makes the S1205 a perfect match, but for those who rely on 3G access to conduct their needs –this phone is not for you.
Anyway, if 3G access is not that important and being able to have WiFi is more than enough, this new Gigabyte mobile phone is a good match. The Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional provides users with enough functionality that will let you handle of work related tasks even while on the go.
The device comes with a 3.2 inch TFT resistive touch screen. While it may be a drag having to use stylus, it works great when it comes to handling the various cells in spreadsheets and of course, for navigating the WinMo 6.5 operating system.
The smart pack user interface takes a while to get used to –especially if you are already used to the older WinMo UI. Still, it makes for a good way to access data as it is actually a lot easier to use in the long run –content is more accessible and there are more shortcuts to use. The 3.2 mega pixel camera does a great job at handling quick images; it even has a low resolution video recording capability. Since the device’s internal memory is a little low, users are better off with micro SD cards (the device can support up to 16GB).
With the 1320 mAh capacity Li-Po battery, the GSmart will give users up to 150 hours of standby time on a full charge –it is recommended that users bring the charger when they are going off on long business trips.
