 The LG Expo isn't the only projector phone in the US any more. Tiny manufacturer Logic Wireless has a new version 1.5 of their Bolt projector phone - and they're selling it through Skymall, of all places.
The Logic Bolt 1.5 (called merely "Projector Phone" on the Skymall Web page) is a Symbian-powered smartphone with two SIM card slots, a feature that is common in some foreign countries but very rare in the US.
According to a spec sheet sent to us by Logic Wireless, the phone has a 2.6-inch, 240x400 TFT LCD resistive touch screen; dual cameras (three megapixel on the back and one on the front), "Live TV & FM Radio," and a built-in LCOS projector that can project images 64" wide. The phone is supposedly only .66 inches thick.
So what's the catch? No 3G. That may be one reason Logic's COO Miran Maric told us they're focusing on overseas sales right now, targeting carriers in countries where 3G isn't a big deal yet.
Logic Wireless is a real company, made up of a bunch of young folks based in Phoenix who have been learning the ropes of the wireless industry as they go along. Last year, they over-promised when they said they'd sell the Bolt through T-Mobile in the US; this year, they seem both wiser and more cautious.
We'll get a good look at the new Bolt projector phone at the CES trade show in early January, and we'll have many more details then. The phone is selling for $499 through Skymall, and it works with T-Mobile and AT&T in the US (it's unlocked.)
