For a new brand in the business, it's a great launch. The MWg Atom V and Zinc II smartphones are featured with up-to-date components, but the problem might be effective marketing, as no-one has heard of the brand.

Both phones run on Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, and not on the latest 6.1 release, although the Atom V has a User Interface similar to HTC's TouchFLO. The Zinc II on the other hand, comes with Windows Mobile 6.1.

Specifications and images after the jump.

The Atom V is the candybar portrayed in the image above, and it contains:

  • 2.8" touchscreen
  • 7.2mbps HSDPA
  • SirfStar III GPS receiver
  • WLAN
  • FM Tuner
  • About 782US$

The Zinc II is a slider, and is shown below, as well as with its specifications:
