Today the product portfolio of the Taiwanese manufacturer has a dozen of smart phones running Microsoft Windows Mobile, and only one device, Liquid A1, built on the platform of Google Android.

Next year, the vendor plans to introduce from 8 to10 new smartphones, but this time the line will be more balanced between Android and Windows Mobile: half of the models will be Android-phones.

Smartphone Liquid A1 will go on sale this week on a proposed price of 380 euros (570 dollars). The model is equipped with 3.5-inch WVGA-screen with a resolution of 800×480 pixels, single-crystal 1-GHz Snapdragon system limited to 768 MHz frequency, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

One of the significant features of Nokia N900 is the close integration of contacts. Users should be extremely careful in dealing with them, as it is quite easy to lose all the lists of friends and colleagues.

Integration of contacts in the N900 allows the formation of a single list, which includes contacts from Skype, GTalk, MSN Messenger, SMS, e-mail, address book and other services. Meanwhile, enthusiasts have encountered a serious deficiency in the mechanism of contact association.

In case the user removes a contact from the device, for example, number of a colleague in the ICQ, the phone will send the appropriate command to remove the desired contact in the server of ICQ. The N900 warns about this, but apparently, only a few of the users will know that the device works with contacts directly, rather than with their copy.

Yes, of course, deleting a contact from Skype on your computer deletes it forever, but N900 is not a computer, but only the smart phone, positioned as a device-assistant.

According to the Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U companies, they actually stopped selling touchscreen smartphones Satio in connection with a large number of negative reviews and returns, based on the instability of software of the new device.
