Dual-Mode GSM/CDMA Windows Based Smartphone Launched
China TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology, an ODM focused on research and development of cell phone solutions, today announced the launch of Gallic, what it says is the world's first Windows-based GSM/CDMA dual mode dual standby pocket PC phone.
Gallic is based on Windows 6.0 and allows users to load one GSM card and one CDMA card. The phone's features include a 2.0 megapixel camera, an MP3 and MPEG4 player, push mail and Bluetooth capabilities.
TechFaith has already received an order from a major Chinese OEM for an operator brand that owns both GSM and CDMA networks, with the initial shipment expected sometime in the current fourth quarter of 2007.
The launch of Gallic follows TechFaith's early October launch of its dual mode phone "Twins," the first cell phone that allows users to load one WCDMA card and one GSM card or load dual GSM SIM cards.
