Oh how I love this phone! When i say phone i mean phone too. It has got to be the first PocketPC device i have ever used that has the look/feel of a phone but all the functionality of a fully fledged PocketPC!


There are lots of cool little features and a few little bugs but i'm in talks with Gigabyte to try and get these fixed before I publish my main review or at least before they release of the English version. However, for a pre-production model it performs very well. Initial testing of the TV tuner/FM radio haven't gone well but until now they haven't been able to test it in the UK.


The main problems at the moment are the (seemingly) non-functional TV/FM tuner, the lack of T9 in the keypad and the poor battery life. Why they chose to ship the device with an 840mAh battery and sell the 1300mAh battery as an extra is beyond me considering how quickly the battery drains when trying to use the TV tuner and using the Wi-Fi.

Anyway, like i said, pre-production model and apart from the bugs I absolutely love it. Although i do worry about how well the paint has been applied to the aluminium front as some has scratched off already.

I've taken a few pics for your enjoyment (check out the cool blue light when charging!). Oh and a little interactivity to keep you amused while you wait for the full review (remember you need Quicktime for interactivity).

Keep it locked to MSMobileNews for the FULL review very soon.

UPDATE: My contact from Gigabyte has informed me that the paint on my pre-production device is not the same as the paint on the retail devices which goes through stringent tests. Also, the 1300mAh battery comes with the device at NO EXTRA CHARGE as part of a secondary accessory pack. The retail g-Smart also comes with alot of other little extras too but you'll have to wait for the full review to find out what they are
