Linux Mobile is one of the underdogs of mobile operating systems. Playing practically the same role they have with desktop computers, Linux systems tend to play more towards function and practicality over style and form. This is usually compensated by skinning and other customization options. With mobile phones, their position is a little more accepted than with computers. Since mobile applications are easily ported to other platforms, the Linux mobile operating system does not share the same problem as Linux based computers; direct compatibility with a lot of programs.
AMOLED and More
The Vodafone 360 H1 sports an AMOLED touch screen display, promising some serious graphic quality to its users. The screen itself is 3.5 inches and displays up to 16 million colors. This is complemented by the 5 mega pixel camera, so you can really take some high resolution images and view them instantly. Naturally, this mobile phone will also take good quality video. The whole set feels like a multimedia device and that is a great thing, hopefully, the audio hardware will be a good match for the awesome screen.
The External View
The device itself has an amazing external body. The face of the mobile phone is smartly designed, with the wide touch screen taking up a majority of the space. The screen is recessed slightly creating that Palm-type feel. The controls below the screen are nudged in nicely and are easy to reach with your thumb.
Packing Heat
Vodafone also gifted the 360 H1 with a whooping 16GB of internal memory. Forget expanding, the initial memory alone will store over 20 hours of excellent quality video files. Connectivity is mainly Wi-Fi and HSDPA, though we would really appreciate to see EDGE there as well. As per the name, this mobile phone naturally carries the Vodafone 360 service. You will also get GPS support too, thanks to the large screen; you can probably use the GPS function while driving.

The Vodafone 360 H1 is an amazingly slick touchscreen mobile phone designed by Samsung especially the new Vodafone 360 service.
The new service plans to integrate all social networking websites, contacts, email and multimedia all into one place. It is a replacement for the 7 year old Vodafone Live, which launched way back in 2002. The service will be available on four different smartphones made by Nokia upon their launch, as well as the Vodafone 360 H1 mobile phone – a custom handset made for the service.
The H1 is truly a different breed of mobile device; with all the Android powered handsets flooding the market lately, the H1 is based on Linux and running the LiMo, (otherwise known as Linux “Mobile”,) operating system. Although a lot of you wont be familiar with the OS, it was actually used on the Motorola RAZR2 V8 – so without knowing it, you may have already experienced it.
The Vodafone 360 H1 has got quite a lot of bang for your buck; a 3.5 inch touchscreen with a good resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, a 5 mega pixel camera with built in flash and auto focus as well as GPS functionality.
With a multimedia player that supports most audio formats, including MP3, WMA and AAC alongside its 8 GB and 16 GB memory, (depends on model,) and the option to add a microSD card it really does have a lot on offer.
Vodafone has announced that the 360 H1, along with the 360 service itself, will be available before Christmas this year in the United Kingdom – which is good because with its attractive design and built in functionality with the fun new 360 service, it is sure to be on a lot of people’s wishlists this year.
