Mitac MIO 8860 Overview
The Mitac MIO 8860, released in 2004, is a classic example of early 2000s mobile technology. It runs on Microsoft Smartphone 2003 OS and is powered by an Intel XScale processor clocked at 200 MHz. This device features a 2.2-inch TFT screen displaying 176 x 220 pixels, which translates to a ~128 ppi density, offering 65K colors for a vibrant viewing experience. The mobile comes equipped with a basic CIF rear camera, reflecting the era’s modest camera capabilities, and lacks a front camera. It supports GSM network connectivity and includes a Mini-SIM card slot, but it notably lacks modern features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and does not have a 3.5mm audio jack. For storage expansion, it has an MMC/SD card slot, and it relies on a removable Li-Ion battery for power. This model also features an infrared port for older style data exchange. The MIO 8860, with its focus on basic functionality, stands as a reminder of the mobile phone’s evolution over the past decades​​​​​​.
