Not at 3GSM, but wishing it was, the new NeoNode 2 is being talked about as yet another iPhone Clone. The difference this time though, is that the NeoNode 2 shares more than just a touchscreen with the iPhone – it also employs a similar gesture controlled user interface. By waving your fingers over the touchscreen in certain magical combinations, you can control the icons and menus – just like on an iPhone!

Motorola also announced two new Motorola Qs at 3GSM – the Motorola Q q9 and Motorola Q gsm. The new Q q9 features HSDPA, offering super-fast download speeds of 3.6Mbps, while the qQ gsm offers quad-band GSM and EDGE connectivity. Both new Motorola Qs are based on Windows Mobile 6.0, but on the plus side, they also offer up to 2GB of onboard storage via a microSD card, and come with a new 2 megapixel camera and video recorder capable of 30fps at VGA resolution.

Motorola haven’t been quiet at 3GSM, either. This is the, er, unusual looking Motorola MOTORIZR Z8, with built-in HSDPA, video playback at 30 fps, user memory of up to 4GB, and a whopping 15.3mm thick in an unusual banana-style form factor.

This is the first banana phone I’ve seen since Nokia launched their banana phone back in 1997. I think there’s a reason they never caught on. Sure, your face isn’t flat, but your pockets sure as hell are (or should be!)

OK, so maybe not all that mobile, the Possio GRETA is nevertheless a completely new take on the mobile phone. It’s a fax machine, printer, scanner and copier complete with tri-band GSM connectivity! Designed for people who have to send faxes no matter where they are, its novel combination of last-century’s tech with this century’s must have gadget is surely this year’s “why did nobody think of this before?!” winner.

Launched at 3GSM, the GRETA is perfect for all road warriors everywhere – it even looks good!
