Siemens recently unveiled its second 3G phone, the U15, at a press conference in Vienna. The U15 is one of the most advanced 3G handsets to be released on the market, with features like tri-band GSM, auto switching to 3G, dual cameras, video playback, and a 65K color screen. Like the U10, which was based on the Motorola A830, the new U15 is based on the Motorola A835. While the specifications for the 2 phones aren't entirely the same, it is obvious that they are very similar. Surprisingly, the U15 is actually a little less advanced than the A835, since the U15 only has 64 MB internal memory (as opposed to 256mb in the A835), and is missing AGPS.
The dual cameras are capable of VGA (640x480 pixels) resolution, and can also record video clips of 176 x 144 resolution at 15 frames per second with audio. This is for one of the primary uses of 3G – video calling. The U15 also features audio and video players, featuring compatibility with most popular formats (including MP3). On the connection front, Bluetooth, infra-red, and USB interfaces are all available. No word yet on whether the U15 will support Bluetooth headsets. Being a business orientated phone, the U15 offers full email (POP3, IMAP, and SMTP) support, and a WAP 2.0 browser. Unlike some of the first generation 3G phones, the U15 is capable of using GPRS with its applications. Finally, the U15 also features Java applications support, and speakerphone functionality.
