Sharp unwraps 'world first' Intel Atom phone

Chip giant Intel doesn"t reckon its Atom chip family will be ready for mobile phones until 2009-2010, but that hasn"t stopped Japanese carrier Willcom punting an Atom-based handset - the first if its kind, the company claimed.

The Sharp-made D4 uses Intel"s Centrino Atom platform to run Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. It has a 1.33GHz Atom Z520 on board, along with 1GB of 533MHz DDR 2 memory and a 40GB 1.8in hard drive.
