World's first Multi-lingual mobile phone

Gigabyte Communications has launched gSmart i128, the world's first Multi-lingual mobile phone, featuring Multi-lingual internet browsing and Windows Mobile document viewing while traveling to 98 countries worldwide. Using the latest Windows Mobile5.0 AKU2 OS with Microsoft Messaging & Security Feature Pack (MSFP), it fulfills power users’ needs in every way. In addition, this flagship phone delivers entertainment values with a 2.1 Mega Pixel camera and an analog TV receiver with retractable antenna which enables real-time TV broadcasting on one's favorite game or show. Also efficient and speedy mobile internet access via Wi-Fi or GPRS is offered by gSmart i128. Powered by Windows, its Push E-Mail technology, the gSmart i128 activates real time E-Mail, schedule and tasks. At the same time, business travelers may stay productive using Mobile Office programs, such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Together with Alta Vista Babel Fish, gSmarti128 may assist business travelers via real time translation on-the-go. It is interesting to know that design-wise, the gSmart i128 is based on it's forerunner - the Gigabyte gSmart but the gSmart i128 got a ROM upgrade to 128 MB from the previously used 64 MB. Moreover the irony lies in g-Smart i128's marketing as a "use anywhere" type of device, when in fact, it lacks support for the 850MHz GSM band. However g-Smart i128 lacks any sort of EDGE or 3G connectivity still it boasts an impressive set of features (Intel PXA272 416MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, tri-band GSM/GPRS support, a 2.4" 262K-colour QVGA TFT-LCD, a 2.1-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 1.2, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, a TV and FM radio tuner, and Windows Mobile 5.0 with the MSFP).
