Microsoft puts familiar face on cell phones
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
With all the grumbling over Windows and its many shortcomings, why would anyone want Microsoft's computer operating system to run their cell phone? The answer, for better or worse, is the sheer familiarity of Windows. That may mean precious little when it comes to operating your basic cell phone. But it gains significance if you want to harness the wide array of features that are being added to even the most entry-level handsets.
The new Audiovox SMT 5600 Smartphone is different. Priced and sized modestly enough for a non-wireless warrior, the 3.6-ounce handset is both sleek and packed with features you'd expect from a high-end organizer.
