IXI Mobile Presents Ogo 2.0
Posted February 15th, 2007 by Marius Trusculescu
IXI Mobile has announced today the Ogo 2.0, the successor of their well known Ogo product. The new device is meant to bring the hype around the Web 2.0 to the handset world as it features a full QWERTY keyboard to enable faster communications and faster interfacing. Also the producer emphasized the multimedia experience by including a pretty large LCD display, a built-in speaker and a microSD expansion slot as a memory card can provide fast transfer and storage for all your pictures, videos and music.
The first device in Ogo2.0 category is the CT-25E which will first be available only in Switzerland with the following features:
Size [mm] - 118 (L) x 69.5 (W) x 20.2 (H)
Weight [g] - 150
Keyboard - 5 row QWERTY or QWERTZ
Navigation - 8-way navigation, menu selection wheel, application hard keys, talk/end & volume
Display - QVGA 320×240 TFT 64k colors
Sub display - 132×32 pixels, mono STN
Memory - 32MB RAM, 64MB Flash
Connectivity - Bluetooth 2.0, optional WiFi (802.11 B/G) on CT-25EW
Wireless - GPRS/Edge Quad band 850/900/1800/1900 class 10
Battery life - 4hr talk time, 160hr standby time
Removable memory - microSD
Connectors - Mini-USB (charging and synchronization), stereo 2.5mm headset connector
Operating system - IXI-Connect OS 2.0
Having communication as its main objective, the company added important features like IM (instant messaging) client support, email, web browsing, RSS feeds support and PDF, DOC, TXT, PPT office file support. The real innovation in this device is the OgoClip, which is a piece of hardware that can be added for increasing the functionality of the device (like a camera or any other gadget). We are really looking forward to see how this idea will work in the future IXI devices as we expect the Ogo2.0 family to enter other markets too.
