The team at Geeks Phone just debuted their ONE handset at an event held in Barcelona. In case you have no idea who they are, their the small startup group who promise root access on their phones the second you take the out of the box.Although they had hoped to have a working prototype for the event, it looks it might be another week or so before people can touch an actual unit. According to COO Javier Agüera,
Google Spain was in the house to hand out some kudos to the guys at Geeks Phone. If the design of the phone looks vageuly familiar, it’s because the phone is based off of the Samsung i900.
Below are the specs that are printed on the brochure being passed out to media and press:
- Google Android 1.5
- Revolutionary UI
- PXA310 624MHz Processor
- 3.2″ TFT Touch Screen
- 3.2 MP Camera w/ Autofocus
- Quad-Band GSM, UMTS (3.5G)
- WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2
- DVB-T Digital TV Tuner
- Modern & Sleek Design
- Built-In Daily Use Software
Knock the company all you want, but if this phone ends up over here in the US, it will certainly have some fans. The processor is faster than anything HTC has put out yet and it’s the only phone so far with a TV tuner. We’re waiting to hear back on what the memory situation is, but we’re hoping it’s at least 512MB. A few GB of space would really go a long way.
The ONE is expected to see a fall 2009 launch. Pricing is not yet available.
