Another handset from Motorola - this one features both GSM and CDMA in one package, with MP3 player, 2.2-inch screen, speech recognition and 1.2 MP digital camera thrown in too.



Today, Motorola introduced the new model A840, one of the first mobile handsets to combine both CDMA and GSM technologies for global roaming. The Motorola A840 allows users to be almost anywhere in the world and segue seamlessly from CDMA to GSM so they can keep talking, working, viewing or downloading without interruption.

The Motorola A840 handset combines 800/1900 MHz CDMA, CDMA 1X and 900/1800 MHz GSM, GPRS modes with seamless network switching. For globetrotting professionals, the model A840 delivers the ability to check and send e-mail on POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 servers, as well as conduct meetings using the built-in speakerphone.

The Motorola A840 is packaged in a clamshell design with an integrated MP3 player, removable Trans-Flash memory, large 2.2-inch colour display with 176 x 220 resolution, speaker-independent speech recognition, compelling gaming experience, and 1.2 megapixel integrated camera. The camera features short-range flash and 4x digital zoom, as well as video capture in MPEG4 format.

Other features include a picture phonebook and calendar, voice dialling, BREW support, Bluetooth, 64-tone polyphonic ringtones, WAP 2.0 browser, MMS and instant messaging.

Apparantly its this!


SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today introduced SanDisk TransFlash™, (formerly known as T-Flash), the world’s smallest removable flash memory storage format. It is similar in size and function to embedded flash memory but can also be readily removed and upgraded to allow for a range of memory capacities as well as interoperability with other consumer electronics devices. Approximately the size of a fingernail,
TransFlash is designed for new mobile phones that are compact yet fully-featured with storage-intensive multimedia applications such as digital cameras, video capture and playback, MP3 players, video games, personal organizers, Multimedia Message Service (MMS), email and voicemail capabilities.

The exceptionally small size of TransFlash (11mm x 15mm x1mm) represents approximately one quarter of the volume of the smallest removable flash cards available on the market today and allows handset manufacturers to incorporate significant amounts of removable storage capacity into their progressively smaller handsets without changing the physical size of the phone. To realize the small form factor, TransFlash uses advanced packaging technology and SanDisk’s latest NAND MLC flash memory and controller technologies. This technology is employed in SanDisk’s miniSD and TriFlash products and is a proven low cost/high volume production technology.
