Ubiquam GSM/CDMA phone
Many cellphones are said to be world-roaming, but the U520 by Korean maker Ubiquam, carried by Russia's Skylink, takes a somewhat different approach. The phone has receivers for both CDMA and GSM networks, and also supports their data services -- though only CDMA gets broadband, reaching speeds of up to 2.4Mbps through 1x EVDO. The phone is further limited by its bands, since it is only dual-band (900/1800) on GSM, and single-band (450) on CDMA. Features less dependent on networks include Bluetooth and a two-megapixel camera. The phone is selling for approximately 17,110-17,690 rubles ($590-610). [via Unwired View]
