Touchscreen or so says the phone


We've reported before that Linux is coming to cellphones everywhere. Motorola in particular are doing this with its E690 cellular phone. This "leaked" piece of information is released by the folks at handcellphone. The phone at focus supposedly runs on Linux and supports both touch-screen and screen writing technology, something that BlackBerry devices can’t provide.

The Motorola E690 PDA phone comes equipped with the following features:
  • A big 262K QVGA TFT bright and clear screen.
  • A 2.0-MP digital camera with flash that snap photos up to 1200 x 1600 in resolution. The camera also supports video recording and conferencing.
  • Two MFT speakers that output 3D surrounds sound
  • Support for MP3, WMA, RealAudio, MIDI, WAV, AAC, AMR, sound formats
  • Support for RealVideo, MPEG-4, H.263 video formats.
  • WAP, and full internet browsing.
  • Excel, PowerPoint, and Word file viewing capabilities
  • Mini USB1.1 connection
  • Bluetooth
  • and built-in voice dial system.
Amazing that such a small looking phone (judging from the pics above), packs so many features.

There is currently no information regarding the release date of this Motorola E690 PDA phone. We'll keep you updated if we get more info.

The menu buttons look identical to the button on my Moto A1200 (which is also a Linux device).

Hopefully this phone will have EDGE!
