			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can&#8217;t decide what sort of a smartphone to buy? The WinDroid is the perfect phone for you indecisive folks out there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39357  aligncenter" title="windroid_windows_mobile_android_phone" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/windroid_windows_mobile_android_phone.jpg" alt="windroid windows mobile android phone" width="600" height="530" /></p>
<p>The phone ships with the none-too-thrilling Android 1.6 OS (but can be upgraded to 2.1 &#8211; voiding its warranty, though). The Windows side of the house runs Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro. The touchscreen phone is capable of dual-booting between Windows Mobile and Android OS. Under the hood of this unusual phone is a speedy Marvell PXA310 CPU, running at 624MHz. It&#8217;s an unlocked quad-band GSM phone, meaning you can use it pretty much anywhere on the planet too.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-39358  aligncenter" title="windroid_windows_mobile_android_phone_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/windroid_windows_mobile_android_phone_2.jpg" alt="windroid windows mobile android phone 2" width="600" height="374" />The hardware isn&#8217;t exactly cutting-edge, but a 2-megapixel digital camera, Bluetooth 2.0, and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi should do the trick for most basic needs. The screen&#8217;s meager 240&#215;400 resolution may have you going a little crosseyed if you&#8217;re used to today&#8217;s super-sharp displays. And despite its rather hefty 0.55&#8243; thick profile, there&#8217;s no keyboard from what I can tell. At least there&#8217;s GPS capability, so you can use Google Maps for navigation. Sure, the hardware doesn&#8217;t sound too thrilling, but can your phone do this?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39360  aligncenter" title="windroid_phone_girl" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/windroid_phone_girl.jpg" alt="windroid phone girl" width="600" height="465" /></p>
<p>Nope? Didn&#8217;t think so. You can get your hands on the WinDroid phone over at <a href="http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/cellphone-with-dual-systerm-android-16windows-mobile-65/">Chinavasion</a> for $239 (USD). If you&#8217;re looking for a single device that can run all the Microsoft and  Google apps, it&#8217;s definitely one to check out. Apple fanboys and girls,  you&#8217;re out of luck. Maybe next year ChinaVasion will offer up an  iPhoWinDroid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Quantum CVFD-M46 crams in all the features you&#8217;d expect in a multimedia mobile phone, and it sells for under $100, fully unlocked.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-16929 aligncenter" title="quantum_cvfd_m46" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/quantum_cvfd_m46.jpg" alt="quantum cvfd m46" width="600" height="519" /></p>
<p>The Quantum offers a 3-inch touchscreen display, and is loaded up with a variety of mobile applications, including a calculator, contact manager, clock, FM radio, games, MP4 video player and voice recorder among other things. The quad-band phone works on all GSM networks worldwide, and has dual SIM slots so you can switch between two mobile accounts with the flip of a switch. The phone also supports Bluetooth connectivity, including A2DP and AVRCP so you can play music or even operate remote-controlled devices over Bluetooth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16937" title="quantum_cvfd_m46_photo3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/quantum_cvfd_m46_photo3.jpg" alt="quantum cvfd m46 photo3" width="600" height="409" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s also a built-in video/still video camera, but it maxes out at a paltry 640&#215;480 resolution. And just like the iPhone that it so desperately wishes it were, it even has a motion sensor which detects when you switch from landscape to portrait modes. And unlike the iPhone, it already has MMS support out of the box. Did I happen to mention that it has a built-in TV too? Too bad it&#8217;s analog, so it probably doesn&#8217;t receive anything in the US now that analog broadcasts are done. For those of you in other countries where analog TV still works, you can tell us how well it works.</p>
