PUMA PHONE roars at the MWC, sports-minded and eco friendly

Touch UI MWC 2010

Now, here’s a handset that’s keen on sports - the PUMA PHONE. This gadget loves it outdoors and doubles as a sport tool (e.g. a bike speedo). The PUMA phone thinks green with a solar panel on the back and an eco friendly box.

PUMA posted a teaser site a few days back that caught our attention. The curtain's now been lifted. The PUMA PHONE was developed by PUMA and Sagem (haven’t heard that name in a while, have you?). It’s very nature friendly and will help you get back into shape too.

Meet the PUMA PHONE

Let’s see what we’re dealing with - the PUMA PHONE measures 102 x 56 x 13 mm and weighs 115 grams, which is great because you can’t run with a huge slab of a phone. On the front, there’s a 2.8” QVGA touchscreen, and on the back - a 3.2MP camera with LED flash and a solar panel with charge indicator. Overall, the specs are very reminiscent of the Samsung S7550 Blue Earth.

We already mentioned the bike speedo, but there’s a run tracker too (both use the GPS receiver), a pedometer and even a sailing compass. The PUMA PHONE also packs a music player, an FM radio and a stopwatch, which are essential to any work-out.

Icon messaging and video calling will keep you in touch and there’s a scratching turntable app, just for the fun of it. It’s the “sarcastic calculator” that caught our attention though - that and the “on-demand digital cat”. The cat is named Dylan by the way.

The PUMA PHONE in it's habitat. Watch out goat, there's a puma behind you!

Back to the specs (or as PUMA call them, the “geeky” and “extra” stuff), the PUMA PHONE has 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 2.9 Mbps HSUPA, a 880 mAh Li-Ion battery that’s good for 350 hours of standby and 5 hours of talk time and 24 hours of music playback.

The connectivity is rounded off by Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, a 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB port, A-GPS support and a microSD card slot.

The UI on the PUMA phone is based on a carousel and aggregates media content services and pulls live sports feeds.

Check out our live photos and hands-on impressions here.

The PUMA PHONE will be available from operators in greater Europe and online on the PUMA store starting April 2010. Saving that 400 euros already?
