The Zircon G88

Here's another one from this Singaporean PDA/Phone Manufacturer. The Zircon G88. It's feature packed with one downside. It runs on PalmOS 4.1, not that I'm undermining the capabilities of OS 4.1 but with today's trend, hey we're already waiting for the release for PalmOS 6.0 for goodness sake, they should have at least used PalmOS5.0.



Anyways, this is another option for the PDA/Phone market, it's got what most phones has, with some extras like 260K colors, 48MB memory, video playback (but this one, Palm PDA's has been doing this since Palm OS 3.0). Unfortunately, one has to get the Card Reader Accessory to have the expansion capabilities. One upgrade from the Zircon Z3 was the sliding Nokia 7650-like keypad and the USB capabilities which the Z3 lacked. Still, it's a good-looking phone with tons of features. Another drawback though is the price, more or less this will come out (if it ever does) in the Philippine market at around 33T++ since it's listed at SGD $893.00
