Lenovo’s new PocketPC Smartphone will be available by March next year and it looks really sexy. The ET980 looks akin to the Sony Ericsson P910, runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, and is the first Windows Mobile Phone to sport a hi-resolution 4-megapixel camera. A 312MHz processor and 64MB of internal RAM powers the brain behind the ET980. A miniSD slot is provided to provide up to 128MB of external storage. Be prepared to import one of these if you’re living outside of China, Japan, or Korea.

Samsung’s SGH-i858 PDA/phone hybrid has received FCC approval. Styled after the i730, the i858 comes bundled with GSM/GPRS support, a QVGA 18-bit color screen, Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD card slot, and stereo speakers among others. The slide out keypad is not a QWERTY keyboard, thus the inclusion of a stylus that is more inclined toward PDA functionality.

The KTF-T3000 cell phone comes with a host of features that will keep even the most demanding techie satisfied.

Understandably, some programming could allow the camera to follow a movement although we can really forsee a practical use for it on a cell phone. The KTF-T3000 measures 91.2 x 46.4 x 22.8mm and weighs 105.1g. Via
