Non-touchscreen Android Phone Demoed at CTIA

Sun, 09/14/2008 - 11:41 | by hobbs

Android Community has gotten their hands on a non-touchscreen Qualcomm handset at the CTIA Wireless 2008 Convention. The handset is showing version as "Firmware: 1.0" in the settings.

The device used couldn’t access a 3G signal and was not designed with Android in mind. But even in that worse case scenario with a D-pad and EDGE speeds, Android performed like a champ. It looked great on the VGA resolution screen and all the menus loaded super fast. And even though we couldn’t load up the IM client, the browser flew.

Very interesting to see Android on a lower end non-touchscreen type of device like that. Android could be a common choice in low end phones as a cost savings for the OEM.

Nicely put and executed. Regarding websites for sale this article really gets down to the nitty-gritty.
