Chinese cell phones for policemen
Posted by: Maria Mihale in News
In general, policemen and other public authorities are part of a privileged category, due to the fact that they can use all sorts of “weird†devices and gadgets. And when I say weird I’m thinking about handsets that are based on advanced technologies that wouldn’t have crossed anyone’s mind.
And here is something that it seems it was designed especially for the Chinese police by the Beijing –based company QiGi Future Technology. The phone is called AK007 and we don’t know if the 007 has something to do with James Bond, the best known secret agent of all times.

The device comes with impressive features, such as a 2.8 inch display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, a 2 megapixel camera which can be used to capture the incriminating evidences, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the GPS navigation which is meant to help the user easily find his/her way and a quad band (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz).
The 2500 mAh battery is expected to provide up to 200 minutes of talk time and approximately 180 hours of stand-by time.
On the other hand, the phone is equipped with a Marvell PXA310 624MHz applications processor, an NXP 5209 baseband processor, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of flash and a microSD card slot for expandable memory of no more than 8GB.
Compared to the Chinese people, it seems that the Ministry of Public Security prefers the devices based on the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, as the AK007 runs on it. The phone comes in a ruggedized case that measures no more than 4.44 x 2.67 x 0.62 inches and weighs approximately 3.88 ounces. In addition, the AK007 has bumpers all around the edges that are resistant to damages.
Unfortunately (or not, ‘cause, if we think about it, it’s none of our business) we don’t know how much the Chinese cell phones will cost the authorities. But it’s a curiosity.
