April 15, 2008- Airis is unveiling their newest GPS smartphone, the T482. This new mobile device is a Windows Mobile alternative (this design comes installed with Windows Mobile 5) for users who are looking for a GPS smartphone that is a little different from the competition. This new design feature quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. The large 3.2 inch QVGA touchscreen is perfect for viewing the navigation application and is the option that really makes this device something special. The SiRFStar III GPS receiver and CoPilot Live software will keep users in the right road no matter where they are headed. Also equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, and microSD memory card slot to expand internal memory and an FM tuner, this phone is everything users are looking for in a GPS smartphone.

The Airis T482 GPS smartphone is specially coated with a non slip matte rubber so that the phone will easily stay put while users are trying to read their directions from the luxuriously sized screen. The T482 will offer users up to 250 hours of use in its unconnected PDA function, and 100 hours of standby and 4 hours of continuous talk time in its cellular phone function. The size of this handset also makes it a very convenient choice for those looking for something sleek and stylish. At 125 x 62 x 14 mm and 165 grams weight, the Airis T482 is the perfect size and shape.

However, there are a few concerns that interested users should be aware of. This cell phone does not come with a key lock option which can be worrisome since some of the keys are exposed with this style of phone. Also, be wary of the car kit, it is rumored that when the phone is docked with the car kit, the holster pushes some of the button causing the camera to come on or the phone to power off. Let us know what you think of the phone.
