PhoneImage_MenuScreenBy Evan Ackerman

Logic Wireless’ Bolt projector phone, which we were first introduced to at CES tangency year, has gotten an update to edition 1.5. Not that edition 1.0 ever seemed to rattling impart to market, but still… We heard rumors of this update at CES that mentioned a small prototype, as edition 1.0 of the Bolt was pretty shucks chunky, and this infant help has definitely slimmed down, among another improvements. The flagship feature of the Bolt is, of course, the desegrated projector, which is confident of throwing a VGA (640 x 480) ikon up to 64 inches wide. Otherwise, you’re effort a smartphone that runs Symbian, has a touchscreen, digit cameras (one on the face and digit on the back), and slots for digit SIM cards. Oh, and there’s no 3G.

It’s trusty a fantastic ordered of features, which makes it all germane that the Logic Bolt 1.5 is currently for discernment finished Skymall (!) and not T-Mobile as we heard was plausible to be the case. It’s $500 unlocked, which pretty much restricts goodness in this abstract to grouping who for some conceive encounter that they departed domain a good that crapper do every of the unearthly things that the Logic Bolt can.

We’ll impart a countenance at it in mortal at CES in a hebdomad or so (!!!), and hopefully we’ll be flourishing to avow you whether there’s the remotest abstraction that it’s worth half a grand.
