A false start on Dell’s website revealed the computer and monitor maker may soon get into the smartphone game as well with a pair of Pharos-branded smartphones, the Traveller 117 and 127. While the phones have disappeared since making their short-lived online debut, their specifications were revealed so we know what to expect if and when they do come to market. Manufactured by Inventec, the devices feature access to 7.2Mbps HSDPA networks, assisted GPS capabilities and Windows Mobile 6.1 with the Microsoft Office Mobile suite. Both also share a 2-megapixel camera along with a 0.3-megapixel front-facing unit for video calling. Differences include the full QWERTY keyboard of the Traveller 127 and the touchscreen of the 117. From the photos, it’s clear the 117 will also run the SPB Mobile Shell. The final piece of information pertains to battery life, with a talk time rating of four hours for each device, along with 200 hours of standby. No pricing or specific release information is known.

Mozilla has been ruminating about a mobile version of Firefox for a while. Now it looks like it’s starting to gear up for a launch of a test version of the software in the very near future.

CEO, John Lilly, expects alpha protoypes to be coming out in a few weeks, but in the meantime, screenshots taken from an unknown Windows Mobile device have surfaced. It’s already shaping up nicely and when it’s launched it will hopefully make default mobile phone web browsers take a long hard look at themselves, before keeling over in embarrassment.

Right now, the superb Opera Mini leads the way in mobile browsing thanks to its excellent compression techniques, swift download speeds and user-friendly interface. Arguably, Firefox Mobile can’t really hope to better it significantly, but that has never held it back in the mainstream browser market either. Although purists will swear by Opera, Firefox versions have always included a healthy amount of inspiration ‘borrowed’ from Opera, coupled with some neat ideas of their own. We hope the same will be true here.

The same values that have seen Firefox shoot to stardom on proper computers could really help Firefox Mobile too - the mobile platform will open up new opportunities for mobile browser add-ons and the fact that it is open-source and completely free will help it build up a user base. Who knows, it may even replace default browsers in handsets someday.

The ongoing build up of information behind it seems to point to a pre-Xmas release of some kind of prototype build, possible even a beta that we can all try out. At the moment, it’s expected to be compatible with Windows Mobile, but we’ll be hoping for Symbian and other versions too. We doubt Apple would be too happy about releasing a Safari competitor onto its tightly controlled Phone App platform, but we’ll be keeping an eye out.
