Mar 13 gSmart Phone from Gigabyte review
Found in:Mobile News, Pocket PC, Reviews,

Gigabyte's gSmart is one fantastic little Pocket PC phone that has a built-in TV tuner! This device is already preinstalled (and will be released) with the full Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU2, which includes the Microsoft Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) for "direct e-mail push" and features such as "remote wiping" and "policy enforcement" from your Exchange 2003 SP2 server, and the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for streaming stereo audio over to your compatible Bluetooth headset.

Since the gSmart is currently a Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM phone, it may put off some Cingular customers in the United States who rely on the 850MHz band.

Nice option is that when you insert your SIM card and boot up the device the Today plug-in instantly accesses the wireless functions and shows your current cellular network.

Again, I will note that the gSmart test device I received directly from Gigabyte did not contain the final version of the firmware, so there are likely a few more changes to be implemented and bug-fixes to be resolved. I can't even be sure that the battery supplied with it has been conditioned or used extensively to honestly gauge the true, expected battery life. However, the device as a whole performed like a champ, and would definitely be one to look out for. One feature not shown here in this overview is an optional menu system/program launcher called "3D MMI." It was removed from the ROM and is now provided as a separate, optional install off the accompanying CD-ROM.

The gSmart is a force to be reckoned with. Even though Gigabyte may be new to the mobile device market, I will admit that they have easily "schooled" the veteran ODMs/OEMs who think that providing basic hardware and software is enough. The designers of the gSmart were definitely thinking "outside the box" even before they were putting the goodies inside the box. They deserve much praise for their hard work and implementation, while the hardware engineers and designers came up with a strong product for multimedia and portabilty lovers alike.
