World's first GLONASS-enabled smartphone ships in Russia, GPS ponders a recalculation

The planet's first GLONASS phone is now available, but it looks as if you'll need to soar over to Russia in order to use it. Of course, if you've followed the GLONASS story at all you wouldn't find that shocking in the least, and if you choose to pick up the ZTE-built MTS GLONASS 945 on your next trip, you'll be treated to full-on GPS support back in the States. It's a Froyo-based device with a 3.2-inch capacitive touchpanel, 2 megapixel camera, 130MB of memory, Bluetooth / WiFi and a price tag of just under 11,000 Rubles. That's around $400 in real money, which you'll probably find suits you best in your wallet if you've already picked up the all-too-similar Vodafone 945. Here's hoping the world's second GLONASS phone is a bit more compelling in the design and feature standpoint, yeah? <br /> <br /> [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]World's first GLONASS-enabled smartphone ships in Russia, GPS ponders a recalculation <br /> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/01/worlds-first-glonass-enabled-smartphone-ships-in-russia-gps-po/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">via</a></div>
