ViewSonic V350 hands-on - Video

Legend has it that the ViewSonic V350 is one of the few dual-SIM Android 2.2 phones on the market. We got a chance to play with a pre-release unit today, and it works as advertised, serving simultaneous quadband GSM plus dualband UMTS (900 / 2100MHz HSPA) on the first SIM, and quadband GSM on the second. The 3.5-inch touchscreen was a little less responsive than we expected, probably on account of the prototype hardware. Otherwise, the device serves a decent mid-range Froyo experience in a friendly package. Sadly, Viewsonic was mum on pricing and availability. Take a look at our gallery and follow the break for a hands-on video.

ViewSonic ViewPad 4 MWC 2011

We've come across the ViewSonic ViewPad 4 once before, specifically at CES, but today at MWC, we took the "tablet device with a smartphone personality" for another spin and came away rather impressed. The hardware was noticeably more refined this time around and closer to final production, with significantly better fit and finish. While our demo unit was running Android 2.2, ViewSonic is planning to ship the light, thin, and angular, 4.1-inch glass and aluminum monolith with the "latest version" of Gingerbread on board. Might that be the ever-elusive Android 2.4? There's no word yet on pricing, but availability is slated for May. Check out the gallery below and our hands-on video after the break.
