Tel.me T939
As part of the mad rush of press releases that is CeBIT, Tel.me of Austria released some details of their new smartphone, the T939. The T939 is based somewhat on their other smartphones that run a proprietary operating system, such as the T919 and T919i. The T939, on the other hand, is based on an unspecified version of Microsoft's Windows CE OS, a change in direction for Tel.me.
The biggest change worth noting in the new model is the new 2.1 megapixel digital camera that it has. The high resolution of the camera's sensor is not the only thing important, though. No, Tel.me claims that the T939 has an optical autofocus system. As in the lens moves. This is a big deal, as it means that the camera will, in theory, have the ability to set the focus based on where the subject is, not merely resorting to the fixed focus system used by today's cameraphones that produces such mediocre images. The T939 will even support direct printing to certain printers over IR. The entire package is rounded out with a built-in flash.
Other highlights include the 256k color TFT touch-screen display (at 160x240 pixel resolution), a handwriting recognition system, and the ability to play MP3 files. The T939 will also come with IM support, a web browser, SyncML, and MS Office support.
Tel.me says that the T939 should be available in stores in Asia and Africa in time for Christmas 2004 at a retail price of 599 Euros.
