Xplore M70

[alegra]

There seems to be a new phone:

It doesn't look like a Treo but like a "normal" mobile phone and uses Garnet 5.4. It has also some additional games (like other Xplore phones).

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The phone looks neat.

My G18 is still going strong after 2 1/2 years of permanent use. Still on original batteries. Says a great deal about the quality of GroupSense phones.
Hope this one is attractively priced and is equipped with a large amount of RAM. The one gripe I have with these phones is the screen size, which is fine for phone functions and important info look-up, but a bit cramped and limited for use as a replacement for a full size PDA.
Another let-down is the fact that a lot of developers don't cater for that screen size. Their apps work fine on the device but are only displayed in the top 2/3 of the screen real estate. CodeDiver could possibly fix that on OS5 devices.

Hi, Yes it is hands-free supported.

I don't have one but would be interested to buy one. How do you like your M68?
From where did you buy yours, and do you know from where I can buy a spare battery on line. BTW can you give me the exact model & brand of the M68 battery?

Hi,

in germany the m68 is distributed as "hagenuk s200" and
the distribution is stopped. But there are still a lot on ebay
for around 125 Euro which are often replacement devices.
I like the phone :
- 2 GB SD-Card Support
- TomTom 5.12 is running
- Mobipocket with wikipedia is running
Negativ:
- No handsfree with internal speaker and micro
- There is no API-Description for handling the phone
funtionality, so there are no third part phone applications
running
- Continous blinking LED if the phone part is activated

A new accu can be bought in germany at www.mew-shop.de.
Probably they will send against prepayment world-wide.
