The first of the four smart phones, the Amoi E72, will retail in China for less than US$250. This, according to press release, makes it one of the lowest-priced Windows Mobile smart phones in the China market. Prices for the other three smart phones - the Amoi E75, E76 and E78 - are expected to be announced at a later date."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20061205-amoie78.jpg" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.amoi.com/">Amoi</a> (not <a href="http://www.amoy.com/">Amoy</a>), the company behind the almost unheard-of <a href="http://www.amoi.com/uploadfiles/IMG5_2006082103035048.jpg">E850</a>, has unveiled four new GSM/GPRS/EDGE-enabled Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices (E72, E75, E76, and E78) with TI OMAP CPUs and Bluetooth - with the E72 tagged with a recommended retail price of less than $250 USD. It's uncertain whether any of these are Pocket PC Phones. The (obviously, Photoshopped) image of the E78 (above) seems to suggest that it's a Pocket PC, though the <a href="http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,61972184,00.htm">press release</a> indicates otherwise.
