January 31, 2006 Linux-powered multimedia phone from BenQ-Siemens Posted by Jukka Eklund at 03:24 PM | Categories: Devices

Have you seen this one already? Siemens SXG75, first announced already in CeBIT last year is finally shipping and it is indeed Linux-powered as reported by LinuxDevices.com. It seems to have all the latest multimedia stuff including 2 megapixel camera, large QVGA display, AVC video and all the major music formats supported. It's also one of the first smartphones to have integrated GPS.

It will be interesting to see reviews of this baby, and hopefully get one here also to look at. It is based on Trolltech's Qtopia Phone Edition, although not mentioned on their pages.

ps. The cookies ('Remember personal info' check box in comments) now works in my blog also!

Update 1st Feb: It seems it's not a Linux phone after all! Linuxdevices updated their story. Strange business.. Thanks to Simon for noticing this!

Linuxdevices have now retracted the fact it's a Linux device. Shame.

Being a Linux enthusiast, it's a very interesting product. Competition is always good, right?

It's competition that makes products evolve. No doubt about it ;)
