Back in November, O2's Asia business was sold off and became MWg. Retaining much of the same setup but with different investors, it appears MWg's device strategy is set to mirror that of their predecessor... as Zinc II and Atom V details have now leaked, courtesy of eXpansys Hong Kong no less.

Although the images are clearly renderings rather than photographs, the descriptions and specifications are extensive, and give us good cause to look forward to the arrival of the new machines!

Head on over to view the Zinc II page or the Atom V page, excerpts from which are included below for posterity :(

I think they look quite nice, and 64MB RAM aside seem to have pretty decent specs. The 'The fully flat touch screen' on the Atom V is interesting... no? :D

Atom V:

The MWg Atom V is the first Windows Mobile device exclusively designed and launched by MWg (founded by the team responsible for O2’s ground-breaking products in Asia).

The Atom V is designed to be fun, engaging and features a full range of connectivity options from HSDPA 3.5G (3.6Mbps) to WiFi. Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, and a 520 Mhz processor will keep you entertained, engaged and connected any time of the day.

With a brand new design in deep blue and exclusive to MWg, the Atom V is a guaranteed head-turner. It is a reflection of your sense of style and fashion. Measuring at a svelte 14.95mm, it fits comfortably in your hands, and even better in the pocket of your favourite pair of jeans.

The Atom V's 2.8 inch TFT LCD screen boasts QVGA resolution, and extends throughout the front face of the handset. The fully flat touch screen and its tactile skin completes the understated and smart design which gives the unit its distinctive look and feel.

Mmmm.. Like the Zinc - could be my Vario II killer - any clues on how long between render and release for this company? Can we expect it for Q2, or more like Q1 2009?

Incidentally - like the week to view calendar plugin - is that artists impression too, or am I missing something?

PXA-270 in 2008? Is that a joke?

I agree with P on this one. It doesnt really matter what side its on, you'll get used to it in less than a week...no doubt about it.

Tired of waiting for the Tilt, Kaiser, P4550, 8925, Vario III, TyTn II.

Why in the spec sheet does it say that the Atom V has a 3mp camera, but on picture it says it is 2mp?

Those are 2 seriously nice looking phones. Much better designs than most of the Windows handsets out there.

The pic is just a rendering, and I guess they bumped the spec since they did that perhaps?
