Vodafone unveils LiMo powered smartphones Vodafone 360 H1

Vodafone has just announced two new LiMo (Linux Mobile OS) smartphones for running the company’s online services (called Vodafone 360). Tagged as the Vodafone 360 H1 and 360 M1, the two mobiles are built by Samsung, and feature touchscreens for navigating the LiMo’s 3D user interface, and 3g/HSDPA connectivity for accessing the Net.

The Vodafone 360 H1 (shown above) is the higher-end model, equipped with a spacious 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen and a 5-megapixel cam with autofocus. It also packs a 16GB internal storage for multimedia, and comes with the whole high-end connectivity package: HSDPA, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, and a GPS receiver.

The 360 M1 should be cheaper, with a spec that’s a bit watered-down (compared to the M1) with a smaller non-AMOLED 3.2-inch screen and a more basic 3MP camera. It still comes with HSDPA, Bluetooth and GPS, but this phone has no Wi-fi.

Vodafone 360 ties in a number of online services, including a contacts list with details pulled from Facebook, Windows Live and Google, and a store for downloading games, apps and media files.

Both phones are expected to be out in time for the Holidays.

    I really do think that this new set of phones has set a bar in terms of beating the features of Apple's Iphone. For example, Apple's Iphone 3Gs has 3Mp only while the 360 H1 has 5Mp camera with auto focus. In addition to that, the Iphone is not supported with windows live capabilities. I give these set of phones 4.5 stars!
