Reviewing the PUMAPHONE

This page contains information on the PUMAPHONE, a rather novel handset set to appear in the first few months of 2010.

At last - something a little different in the mobile phone market - announcing the PUMAPHONE.

It makes such a change for us to read through the spec sheet for a new phone, and raise a smile - this new phone, from the sports folk at Puma, promises to be a little different.

Aimed at us healthy folk, the PUMAPHONE, made by Sagem, is a keep-fit phone with an analogue stopwatch, GPS running tracker, a GPS bike speedometer, a walking pedometer and a yachting compass (of course).

Next we found one of those "why didn't I think of that" features - the back of the phone has an integral solar cell, to allow charging from the sun.

The PUMAPHONE supports Video chat (front-facing camera), and has a music player, FM radio, web browser, Geotagging and a 3.2 meg camera with flash.

There are also some fun apps too - including on-demand digital cat (Puma's logo, obviously, but what does this cat thing do?). There's also a sarcastic calculator, which will tell you off if you try to work out something that could do in your head, and there's a scratching DJ turntable to allow you to play with your music collection.

A stylish-looking red user interface and a large dollop of quirkiness could just make this phone a hit.
