With a Samsung 400MHz 2443 processor, 320 x 240 QVGA display and 64MB ROM, the Lovebird doesn’t look to be an especially high-end device, but the promise of Dash GPS-style instant traffic updates over the cellular network should impress plenty of people.  Mio are claiming up to 5hrs of talktime, but there’s no suggestion of battery life when navigating.
