Grundig launches slender wonder-phone

Grundig's B700 is packed with great features - including a digital music player and a 2-megapixel camera

Grundig has launched a new smartphone loaded with the hottest features. The B700 packs a slew of connections and functions - yet is only 10mm thick.

The B700 has a 2-megapixel camera, uses a CMOS imaging sensor, and is complimented by an LED flash. Its 2.4-inch QVGA screen supports 262,000 colours at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. It's also compatible with JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, PNG and BMP image formats.

Connections and memory

Connectivity-wise, the B700 uses both Bluetooth and USB and has 100MB of internal memory, backed up by a Micro SD card slot for flash memory cards up to 1GB.

Grundig claims the B700 has a battery life of 2.5 hours talk time and 150 hours on standby. Paramount for any self-respecting tool aimed at the modern businessman, it plays also Java games.

The Grundig B700 is available in the US from today. When we asked if it was expecting a UK release, spokespeople from Grundig UK were unavailable for comment. Here's hoping.
