At the Mobile World Congress a new phone pounces into action called the Puma Phone. Yes, just like the shoes you once use to wear.
The handset itself is manufactured by Sagem and has a 2.8-inch, 240×320 capacitive touch screen and built-in solar charger on the back. The quad-band GSM device also includes Bluetooth, 3G, aGPS, 3.5 mm audio jack and a 3.2-megapixel camera, video chat with front camera. All pretty standard for a full-feature phone, but it’s the user experience that makes the Puma Phone different.
There’s a host of sports features, such as a run and bike tracker that takes advantage of the GPS capabilities. There’s a built-in radio, a scratching turntable, social networking integration, and video calling. The phone even has an on-demand digital puma named Dylan and a cool shiny chrome Puma logo on the the fron that is also a speaker.
It looks like the Puma Phone will only be heading to Europe with an expected April ship date. If you like what you see, there’s always a chance you buy the phone unlocked. The handset should go for about 420 euros (around $576 U.S.).
