La doua saptamani de la premiera mondiala, producatorul de echipamente telecom Alcatel-Lucent a facut prima demonstratie de Wimax mobil, la Timisoara. Wimax-ul mobil in standardul Rev-e este considerat de reprezentantii Alcatel-Lucent urmatoarea mare premiera dupa lansarea sistemului GSM de comunicatii mobile.

Several real photos of the handset recently appeared on the Internet, showing us that the handset is really capable of standing beside Nokia E90. Presented as Asus M930W, although on the front case there's only the "M930" name, the device is a tri-band GSM phone (900 / 1800 / 1900 Mhz) that supports EDGE, GPRS, 3G and HSDPA, thus allowing fast data transfers (up to 3.6 Mb per second). As all the latest Asus smartphones, the M930 has a powerful processor, a Marvel PXA27x 520 Mhz one, considerably more powerful than Nokia E90's processor, which only has 330 Mhz.

It packs a nice 3.2 Megapixel camera with ...
