You’ll find an 8-megapixel camera sitting flush to that 7.8mm body, NFC and an “eco mode” that will shut down non-essential features when you’re nursing your nearly-empty battery.

dmd mobile M3 Android NFC Communicator mixes something old, something new for prepaid subs

Malaysia may not be on the tip of anyone’s tongue when wireless comes to mind, but that’s not stopping local outfit DMD Mobile attempting to make its mark. Set for an official unveiling at next week’s Mobile World Congress, the M3 NFC Communicator is the outfit’s clumsily titled stab at the prepaid market in South Asia and the Middle East. The touchscreen handset, to be available in both 2.6-inch portrait QWERTY and 3.2-inch candybar form factors, comes loaded up with a surprising mix of - and current-gen specs: 650Mhz single-core CPU running a skinned of Gingerbread 2.3.5, support for dual-band HSPA+ (850 / 2100MHz) and quadband GSM, VGA front-facing / 3MP rear cameras, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and NFC. Sure, it’s not the most thrilling of forward-looking devices to surface this year, but priced at RM500 (that’s about US5), it’s certainly of a great deal than it is bargain bin entry. Hit up the source below for additional info on this low-hanging mobile fruit.
