Tancher Mago Premium Smartphone

Posted by John Goulden Categories: Smartphones, Corporate News

A new Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone, that may or may not ever see the light of day, is the Mago Premium Smartphone.  Developed by Tancher for Mago Mobile, the phone is made from titanium, stainless steel and magnesium, and sports an Intel xScale 624MHz CPU.  A stylized candybar format hides a host of fairly common features (by comparison to other smartphones) with the exception of a fairly large battery (1950mAh Li-Ion), a touchscreen, and 128MB RAM/ROM.  The touchscreen is of note because Microsoft does not officially support a touchscreen for a WM5 Smartphone . . . yet.

• Windows Mobile 2005 OS
• Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz
• Class 2 Bluetooth ver.1.2
• Wi-Fi (802.11b)
• 240x320 2.8’’ LTPS Transflective TFT LCD (262k colors)
• Touch screen
• Intel xScale PXA27X 624MHz CPU
• 128MB Mobile SDRAM
• 128MB Intel StrataFlash 32bit
• 1950mAh Li-Ion Battery
• 2.5mm Stereo Audio Jack
• USB 2.0 (Full Speed) Interface
• SD/MMC/mini-SD support
• Overall Size - 134x55x15mm
• Advanced materials, hi-tech aerospace technologies and special scratch resistant coatings for housing and mechanical parts (Grade 5 Titanium, Stainless Steel, Magnesium)

Note that the picture shown is of the prototype model, and some sites are reporting that it may never be released for public consumption.  Another site, in Russian of course, claims the phone will be released mid-2006 for around €3000 (~ $3,600 USD).  With a price like that, they may as well just keep it.
