There were countless novelties during Sapo Codebits, either new products, or new services, contests or moments of entertainment. Putting together its experience in the field of Internet and its know-how in the development of contents and applications, SAPO launches SAPO a5. As the result of careful selection of functionalities and features, this smartphone privileges contents in Portuguese and follows the best practices in the market in order to contribute to massification of Internet access via mobile phone.
The SAPO a5, designed in close articulation between SAPO and ZTE, its Chinese telecommunications partner, costs Euro 149.90. It includes the Android 2.1 Operating System and features 5 Mpixel camera with zoom and support for microSD memory cards up to 32GB. There is more information available at www.tmn.pt and http://a5.sapo.pt.
With an initial wizard that enables a simple and quick configuration of the SAPO and POND accounts and of the most popular Internet services, the SAPO a5 privileges usability and targets contact integration of the phonebook and social networks (Facebook and Twitter). With the SAPO a5, through Pond, sharing multimedia contents is made easy by the possibility of taking a photo and sharing it at once through Facebook, SAPO Photos or Flickr.
The entry screen of the SAPO a5 contains a number of configurable widgets whose goal is to allow faster access to relevant information: Meteorology, News, Newsstand (covers of the main publications), Pond (viewing of last updates of friends and publishing of new posts on social networks) and SAPO Tips (tips to use the mobile phone and to explore the Android platform).
SAPO Bank, SAPO Mobile, SAPO Football, SAPO Movies, NDrive (with lifelong licence and full maps of Portugal and Autonomous Regions) or Gmail, may become accessible through shortcuts on the entry screen of the SAPO a5. Other applications may ainda ser instaladas através do Marketplace do Google. Through SAPO Store, it is possible to access an editorial suggestion of the most relevant applications.
The SAPO a5 also includes the new SAPO Energy and TMN Energy live wall papers, two applications developed exclusively for this smartphone and that monitor permanently the status of the battery.
With the launch of SAPO a5, Portugal Telecom consolidates its strategy of convergence of its different brands, services and platforms, enabling its customers to benefit from integrated and innovative technological experiences.
