The iNo-Sun A908 (iNo-One) Non-Camera Phone
This is the next non-camera phone that is expected to be launched in Singapore. It is a factory removed camera phone model and certification would be provided as well. It is expected to be priced at a relatively low cost of S$228 and would appeal to those whose contract is not up for renewal yet. It is currently on pre-order and is expected to launch in August. Besides the price, the next interesting feature is that it has Dual-SIM support and could appeal to those with multiple phone lines to manage.At its price point, it could be the next mass phone for reservists to have access to a smart phone, browser, and more importantly, GAMES to pass time during their in-camp-training.
Specifications
- Android Gingerbread 2.3.6
- 1.0 GHz Single Core
- 512 MB Ram
- Dual-SIM card slots
- 4.0″ capacitive 480 x 800 screen
- GPS and Bluetooth
- 124 mm x 64 mm x 10.95 mm
- 4GB internal storage, expandable with microSD
The phone specifications are nothing to shout about and in fact, I would expect some minor slowdown due to the processor and lack of RAM as compared to the superior Huawei Honor. I would only recommend this phone if you are looking to use this phone for short periods of time and/or if the Dual-SIM feature is important, else the Huawei Honor especially at the promotion price of $400 would be a much better deal. Lastly, they really should have came up with a more attractive name for this phone.
Update (11 Aug 12): The iNo-Sun A908 has been replaced by the iNo-One. Read more about it here.

upgradable to 4.0?
Hi Ohn, we are not sure yet and will probably have to wait till the phone is launched. However, a large factor on whether a phone can be upgradable to ICS 4.0 or Jellybean is the community support and I don’t have high hopes for this particular model.
I actually made a call to Ino, they said that it is POSSIBLE for it to be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich. However, I seriously doubt that it can be updated to Jellybean.
As for the rest of the conversation, the guy over the phone mentioned that there will be another non-cam phone being released in the 4th quarter and another one next year around June. These 2 phones are expected to be “smartphones” running on Android, most probably with better specs.
Isit selling alr?
They have delivered the first batch of pre-orders but they have replaced selling this model with the iNo-One instead. Should be available from Oct 12 onwards. http://www.gadgetreactor.com/2012/08/the-ino-one-non-camera-phone.html
