Samsung S8500 review

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:50:00 GMT

Now that many cell phone specifications have become standard, we go a step further, and the importance of a good operating system becomes more and more evident. On the one hand, this is for recognition and ease of use, and on the other hand, functionality and available content. After the arrival of the Apple iPhone, Google also launched a new operating system; Google Android. Now, Samsung is also presenting a standard operating system, Samsung Bada. That may be important for its own identity, but the question is if it is possible to compete with the existing systems.

LG Optimus GT540 review

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 10:32:00 GMT

At the start of 2009, HTC brought the T-Mobile G1 onto the market, which was our first experience with the Google Android operating system. It took a little getting used to, but we quickly saw this platform’s potential. Other manufacturers followed quickly with different high-end mobile phones. LG is now introducing a model for the other end of the market: a prepaid package for a favorable price. Prepaid and Android do not seem the most logical combination, partly due to the use of data. Perhaps we are heading in a new direction.

Garmin Dakota 20 review

The Garmin Dakota 20 is sort of a smaller version of the Oregon. It’s about € 50 cheaper, but that does not mean that it is of lower quality, nor that it offers less possibilities. Choices have been made that will appeal to different user groups. I think it would be a good partner for a cycling tourist. I traveled to South Africa with the Garmin Dakota 20, and I ran into things that were out of the ordinary.

Beautiful and timeless human curvature also incorporates an ergonomic keypad which makes the handset easy to use. The new Sony Ericsson Zylo Walkman phone will be available in selected markets early Q3.

Samsung Diva review

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 23:58:00 GMT

Samsung is one of those mobile phone manufacturers that are successful in assigning certain handsets to a specific target group, for example the female callers. With the very obvious term Lady phone, Samsung presented its new Lady phones to the world press. We have discussed the Samsung S7070 previously during Samsung’s Lady phone event during the Amsterdam International Fashion Week. The Samsung S5150 Diva folder is the other Lady phone that we ran into during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Spain. It is also the more luxurious version of the two Samsung Lady phones. The extra LED display, integrated on the front of the Samsung Diva mobile phone shows among others a digital clock.

Samsung S5350 Shark review

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 23:40:00 GMT

Samsung is continuously busy conquering market shares. Whoever visited or followed Samsung’s recent global press conferences, for example the conference during the recent Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas, will quickly conclude that different points are slowly but surely flowing into one another, or are at least connected to each other. Imaging, mobile communication, 3D, notebooks, etc. Therefore, Samsung makes me think more and more of Sony, but then the Sony of several years ago. At breakneck speed, product after product is being spit out of the Samsung factory, it’s stunning. One of those hundreds of products is the new Samsung Shark mobile phone.

Samsung Corby Folder

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:44:00 GMT

On the Korean Samsung website, a new micro website has appeared with the Samsung Corby Folder mobile phone in the leading role. The success of the Samsung Corby mobile phone is remarkable, and from a reliable source we have learned that not every region had counted on such a success. The numbers are undoubtedly the reason for introducing more variations of the Samsung Corby, now with the Samsung Corby Folder as the most recent model. At this moment it is not yet known if this new member of the Samsung Corby handset family will also be available outside of Korea. In any case, the Samsung Corby Folder is very colorful; its main color is white with blue, green or pink.

LG Cookie Fresh

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:30:00 GMT

Despite LG Electronics’ strange way of being ‘actively present’ at the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, LG seems to be continuously busy conquering a steady position in the TOP 3 consumer electronics manufacturers. And that doesn’t seem to be an easy task, as the competition of course has similar plans. In between fights for market shares, LG introduces a new beginner’s model cell phone: the LG Cookie Fresh GS290. Whoever has recently visited the CeBIT 2010 (the world's largest trade fair showcasing digital IT and telecommunications solutions) in Hannover - we have no idea why anyone would still want to visit the CeBIT - could already get a glimpse of the LG GS290.

Free wireless internet

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:20:00 GMT

Free wireless Internet? Sounds good, and as of today also a reality. The only thing that you have to do is find the nearest McDonald’s branch, netbook or notebook in hand, Apple iPad in the other hand or smartphone in the pocket and start up the browser to visit the World Wide Web. While enjoying a Mac menu, surfing totally commercial-free Internet sounds to us, in any case, like music to the ears. Actually it's strange that the McDonalds fast food restaurants has taken so long before undertaking this venture. Readers' reactions point to the fact that it is possible to use free wireless Internet at several McDonald’s branches.

BlackBerry Slider phone

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:20:00 GMT

Although the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona is just behind us, and we could not find a new smartphone at the Blackberry booth, but it seems that BlackBerry will shortly be introducing a new smartphone. The MWC 2010 was especially an event for BlackBerry to draw attention to the different services they offer, and the endless cooperation between enterprises. There had been some rumors a while ago about a so-called BlackBerry Slider, but there was not much hard evidence. Actually, recent image material has stirred up the rumors once again. Photo material coming from a Black Berry Slider smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard makes it obvious.

PlayStation phone

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:00:00 GMT

It won’t have escaped anyone’s attention that manufacturers such as Apple have a lot of success with their innovative consumer electronics. The mega success of the iPhone from Apple and the unprecedented popular Apps, iTunes and the popularity of paid (!) music, video and podcast downloads, has left a mark on the global entertainment market. And it seems that we can expect more from Apple this year. The most recent Apple announcement was the Apple iPad, a so-called tablet that is being phased in world-wide. These new developments are in any case for Sony a clear signal to get into action. For example, there is talk of a PlayStation phone!

Gigabyte Gsmart Smartpohone

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 20:30:00 GMT

We don’t hear so much from Gigabyte. Still, now and then very reasonable cell phones are introduced and even models such as the Gigabyte Android phone appear with the name Gigabyte Gsmart G1305 Codfish…. Well, we didn’t make it up. Imagine having to memorize such a model name as a sales rep! The Gigabyte Gsmart Codfish runs on Google’s well-known Android operating system, in this case Android 1.6 OS. With this new Gigabyte Android smartphone, the Android phone front is strengthened and with each Android introduction it becomes painfully clear for Microsoft that the first Mobile 7 phone is only expected to be introduced in September.

Motorola i1

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 09:03:00 GMT

Motorola and Sprint introduces the new Motorola i1 push-to-talk Android smartphone. Sleek and attractive, yet durable, Motorola i1 is the first iDEN device to carry the features of a modern smartphone including a 3.1-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi, optimized internet experience with the latest Opera Mini 5 browser, access to new software applications and a push-to-talk experience that includes exciting new Android Smartphone features.

Budget cell phone

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 20:03:00 GMT

Especially for the youthful consumer with a love for music and a sensitive ear, there is the LG GM205. A nice, modern design equipped with a bit of innovation in terms of music experience in a cell phone. Namely, the LG GM205 is equipped with Dolby Mobile technology. This technology delivers a not-to-be-underestimated contribution to the sound quality, with which listening to music becomes pleasurable. The latter is a feature especially for the young consumer, and with which the LG cell phone can distinguish itself from the masses. It is not yet known when the official introduction of the LG GM205 will take place and in which region it will become available.

LG budget phone

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 19:30:00 GMT

It appeared in Russia at the end of last year, but now the LG GU230 mobile phone has also been seen outside of Russia. The LG GU230 is a budget phone with a nice design and aimed at the lower end of the market. It becomes clear that these are simple specifications when we see that the built-in digital camera has only 1.3 Megapixels. We are surprised that LG would still seriously consider integrating such a low resolution camera into new phones, but the LG GU230 budget phone shows that LG is indeed serious. Perhaps the camera-application is seen as a detail and that the emphasis is more on the simplicity and control of the LG GU230 budget phone.

New LG handset

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:38:00 GMT

Korean mobile phone giant LG, who has projected as having a leadership position in terms of market share for the coming years, has conjured up several new cell phones, including the LG Jacquar 5 mobile phone, out of its big hat. Now, you would expect that LG would use an event such as the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona to promote itself to the full, but no, instead LG ‘disappeared’ from the show floor to make itself ‘inaccessible' for the world press. Now, the LG Jacquar 5 handset is not such a good example to get excited about, as it consists of a basic phone aimed at the lower end of the market, but still...

LG Cookie Music

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:30:00 GMT

Where the Samsung Corby ensures an endless source of new mobile phone models for Samsung, the trendy LG Cookie is comparable for LG Mobile. We have already seen several new LG Cookie phones recently, such as the LG KP501 Cookie, KP502 Cookie, GS500 Cookie Plus phones, etc. But LG still sees room for a new Cookie phone. We are talking about the LG Cookie Music, a multimedia phone equipped with an innovative and special Dolby Mobile sound technology that is to improve the music experience, so the LG Cookie Music of course has a 3.5mm headphone connection with which you can use your preferred headphones. Features like the Dolby Mobile sound technology are thrilling for music lovers.

New LG Slider phone

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:12:00 GMT

Several new LG phones have surfaced. The LG Pure is one of these new mobile phones, a slider phone with a modern and trendy, but still classic design. The LG Pure’s design is very sleek, and thereby differentiates from the round / oval designs that smartphones often have. Therefore, we can see the LG Pure as a design phone, but the cell phone specifications are good enough for it to be included in the middle segment of phones. In order to be able share all the content that you have recorded with the world, a fast connection is very convenient. The LG Pure thus also offers a fast UMTS and HSDPA connection. The LG Pure has a card slot with microSDHC support so that a maximum storage capacity of 32GB is possible.

LG Viewty Smile

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:01:00 GMT

It was a bit quiet around the LG Viewty Smartphone series, but a new Viewty phone can now be announced: the LG Viewty Smile. This new LG smartphone is an extensive touchscreen phone found in the middle segment. This LG phone also fits into a trend that we have noticed: the LG Viewty Smile is equipped with a 5 Megapixel digital camera. The manufacturers have put on the brakes, by not allowing themselves to get caught up in the Megapixel race, at least for the first quarter of 2010. Rather, the average amount of pixels has decreased to an average of 5 Megapixels. The LG Viewty Smile is a true a camera phone, as it is equipped with auto focus camera.

LG GT405

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 10:52:00 GMT

The LG GT405 is a touchscreen smartphone with interesting features. Although we do not yet have the complete technical specifications, it seems as though the LG GT405 is a new multimedia smartphone with a few high-end functions, but without the high-end price tag. It is thus an all-round LG smartphone for a broader public. Multimedia of course includes a digital camera and indeed the new LG GT405 mobile phone is equipped with a 5 Megapixel digital camera. This makes this new LG smartphone at par with the competition. During the recent Mobile World Congress we saw a new trend in mobile photography, namely a halt to the Megapixel race… finally!

LG KS365

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 10:41:00 GMT

Not yet officially introduced, but expected soon: the KS365 touchscreen slider mobile phone. The LG KS365 handset is a follow-up of the KS360 cell phone and is especially directed towards a younger and trendy audience. The new LG KS365 phone has the design of a colorful gadget; the business user will most likely not be seen walking around with it. The handy sliding QWERTY keyboard of the LG KS365 Smartphone will appeal to the active Twitter, Facebook, Hyves, or chat user. Staying in contact with the world via social media is important for this young target group and it looks as if it’s just the beginning for the use of such social software Apps.

Sony photo frame review

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 12:50:00 GMT

It wasn't until recently, however, that the digital photo frame was first launched onto the electronics market, and the demand for these kinds of devices is still growing. Sony is one of many companies trying to meet this demand, and so far, Sony has done an excellent job. Gradually more new versions are being launched, and the S-Series contributes by adding a number of models to its line. Sony is not only working on creating high-quality photo frames, the company is also determined to make the devices work flawlessly with every other Sony product.

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 10:20:00 GMT

Sprint and HTC announced summer availability of the world’s first 3G / 4G Android Smartphone, HTC EVO 4G from Sprint.

The HTC 4G Smartphone will take live video streaming and picture downloads, to a new level.

LG Android review

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT

The LG GW620 is LG’s first Android Smartphone available on the market. A logical step, as many brands have chosen this relatively young operating system. In the meantime, the Android platform has become indispensible in the mobile communication world. Such an operating system is of course very important. It determines everything. If the phone runs smoothly and quickly, if Flash support is possible, and can applications be developed and installed? These are questions that not everyone thinks about when they make a new purchase, but they certainly help in making a good choice.

Sony Walkman review

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:47:00 GMT

Since Sony was founded in 1946, the company has supplied a wide range of electronic devices. Besides BRAVIA TVs, VAIO computers and, of course, the Sony PlayStation game console, Sony has also worked on audio from day one. The Walkman trademark has been marked on portable digital media players for a long time now. Sony offers a number of product lines within the Walkman series: the W-, A-, S, and B-series. Recently, Sony launched a new line: the X-series. The first edition of this line is the Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050.

Samsung B7620 review

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:30:00 GMT

After a previous collaboration between Samsung and Giorgio Armani, about two years ago with the Samsung P520, the companies have once again joined forces to develop another cell phone together. This time, it is the Samsung Armani 2 B7620 phone. The difference between the previous Samsung Armani and the Armani 2 lies mainly in the functionality. As with other brands, we find the Samsung design phones often have to compromise somewhat when it comes to specifications. However, the Samsung Armani 2 is considered a high-end mobile phone.

Nokia X6 review

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:45:00 GMT

We have known the Finnish phone manufacturer Nokia’s XpressMusic cell phones for a while, but now a new series, the Nokia X-series has been added to the assortment of XpressMusic phones. This series is added next to the N-series, which emphasizes multimedia, and the more business-oriented E-series. The new series of Nokia phones are to optimize the user's musical experience.

Samsung 3D smartphone

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:40:00 GMT

The South-Korean cell phone market is often ahead in terms of innovations. Recently we ran into a Samsung SCH-W960 smartphone. At first glance it doesn’t seem very special if it weren’t for the fact that this Samsung phone is actually the first Samsung 3D smartphone. Unfortunately it is only destined for South Korea right now, but 3D is being developed world-wide, so we won’t be surprised if we will soon run into a Samsung 3D phone in the rest of the world. The first information that we received seems to point to a function in the Samsung W960 smartphone that makes it possible to convert video to 3D with the push of one button.

Dell Streak tablet

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:35:00 GMT

Together with Amazon, Dell will soon be introducing a 5-inch Android 3G multifunctional smartphone tablet, named the Dell Streak. According to leaked information, it is a new electronic device that is able to do everything, at least if you are prepared to work with content provider Amazon. As that is where most of the content will come from. Think of Amazon video streaming, Amazon MP3 and of course the Kindle e-book reader App with which you can read books in electronic format. The Dell Streak or Dell Mini 5, it is not yet clear which will be the official name, runs on Google Android 2.1 OS is expected to be released on the U.S. market.

Samsung SHW-M120S

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:30:00 GMT

There is talk of a new Samsung SHW-M120S smartphone, and according to the most recent rumors on the world wide web it could very well be the first Android smartphone with Bluetooth 3.0. The Samsung M120S smartphone has a 3.3-inch AMOLED display, but this is still an uncertain specification. It could also be a Super AMOLED display, which we had seen at the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, Spain, in the Samsung Wave high-end phone. Bluetooth 3.0 was officially recognized by Bluetooth SIG on April 21st, 2009, and supports a theoretical data transfer speed of 24 Mbit/sec. That would make the Samsung SHW-M120S an interesting high-end Android smartphone.

Samsung Monte phones

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:15:00 GMT

Whoever visited the Mobile World Congress themselves could not get around Samsung. With one of the largest and most colorful booths, Samsung presented itself optimally, in our opinion. Of course there already was attention for the Samsung Wave, but also the Samsung Monte S5620 received the necessary attention. Although we truly had to look for it... The Samsung Monte S5620 is a mobile phone meant for the masses, or rather, it is a mid-range handset. The 3-inch display is just a bit smaller than the remarkable high-end cell phones, but it does have a WQVGA resolution and the most recent TouchWiz interface.

Samsung Shark phones

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:11:00 GMT

Next to the Samsung Wave, there were some other new cell phones launched during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Spain, such as the Samsung Shark mobile phones. This new series is made up out of three cell phones, including the Samsung Shark 2 S5550. Equipped with a fine AMOLED display and a 5 Megapixel auto focus camera with build-in LED flash, this model is actually a combination of the standard and the multifunctional Smartphone. The fine quality display has a bit of a small format of 2.2-inches, but due to its high contrast and clarity, is not even so quickly noticeable. The Samsung Shark phone design is nice, but not even so remarkable.

Huawei SmaKit S7

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:15:00 GMT

A bit large for an Android 3G cell phone, which may be the solution for people with large hands, but the new Huawei SmaKit S7 Android tablet in any case has 3G communication functionalities. This finely designed Android tablet supports every Android software applications up to 720p High Definition. The Huawei SmaKit S7 tablet has a 7-inch widescreen display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. Such a widescreen format for this Android tablet delivers a fine display of all the applications in a row. The Huawei S7 android tablet can additionally be connected via the home network, to other Android devices or a television.

Wireless Vehicle Operation

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:00:00 GMT

Some years ago, the ‘wireless’ phenomenon came about, and nowadays people cannot go without it. Some cannot even imagine what daily life would be like without wireless communication! Wireless is continuously being developed, and companies such as SK Telecom presented applications during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, that caused amazement. According to SK Telecom, this is just a smart example of well thought-out wireless technology. The so-called Mobile in Vehicle application makes it possible to start your car with your smartphone, or even perform diagnostics or diverse functions.

Vodafone mobile phones

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:55:00 GMT

Vodafone was of course present with its complete pallet of services and hardware during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. And in technical terms they are not all very remarkable products, but still form the necessary impact on the mobile phone market. Take the very cheap Vodafone 150 mobile phone, aimed at a large group of potential consumers that live in countries where wealth is not present for a large part of the population. We have to think about countries such as India, but also the African countries. To be able to communicate by mobile phone can mean a new chance for people from this group.

Kids mobile

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:50:00 GMT

NTT Docomo, the largest telecom provider on the Japanese market, is always good for some interesting and innovative mobile solutions. Take the new Smartphone we have previewed in of our Mobile World Congress 2010 articles that can be split into two halves and can also be used independently. The software applications are unknown, but such innovations often lead to end products for consumers that are truly useful. For example the GPS solutions, often used functionally to find your way in a new city, country, etc. but there are also other applications that maybe become more interesting in the near future. For example, the locating of objects or people.

Sony-Ericsson Vivaz Pro review

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:45:00 GMT

The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is the place for handset manufacturers to present themselves to the international press. And next to the creative marketing talk, which sounds nice, we of course go mostly for the new mobile devices, as those are pumped up and form an important part of the manufacturer’s image. Although Sony-Ericsson seems to be focusing less on hardware, and instead teaching the consumer more to experience the different services that Sony-Ericsson has to offer, but we still need a Sony-Ericsson smartphone. The Sony-Ericsson Vivaz Pro Smartphone received an official status during the MWC 2010. It is a business version of the Sony-Ericsson Vivaz handset.

Emporia phones

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:40:00 GMT

Emporia, specialized in mobile communication solutions for seniors, was present during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona with a remarkable booth. While other manufacturers seem to be showing a minimization trend, Emporia is rather focusing on designs with large buttons and clear organization. Emporia introduced two new senior cell phones, namely the Emporia Elegance and the Emporia Solid handsets. The Emporia Solid is a senior cell phone that is especially shock resistant, a bit more robust and most likely also a bit more reliable when this cell phone is used outdoors. That is not such a bad idea, because many seniors lead active lives, maybe even more active than before.

Alcatel Smartphones

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:30:00 GMT

Next to a large pile of cell phones that were already available on the market last year, we still saw a nice series of Alcatel Smartphones in a small demo space in the Mobile World Congress complex. According to a spokesperson from TCT Mobile, especially the Alcatel One Touch Tribe and the One Touch Mini were successful last year. To match this success a bit, TCT Mobile introduced a new series of Alcatel cell phones. Alcatel’s most important spearheads are an excellent price /quality ratio, user-friendliness, and a unique design. But aren’t these the features that every cell phone manufacturer aims for? You know what we mean; what is different?

Acer Aspire One 532G

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:50:00 GMT

Last year, the netbook appeared to be at the beginning of a large breakthrough. A year later, the opposite seems to be the case. The notebooks have become smaller and have actually been taking over the place that the netbooks should have been filling. Still, here and there we have seen some netbooks by manufacturers such as Samsung and in this case Acer. The Acer Aspire One 532G is the first netbook that is completely configured in order to be able to process HD multimedia content. According to an Acer spokesperson, the Acer One 532G netbook is equipped with a NVIDIA video card, namely NVIDIA's Ion 2. With this NVIDIA video card, 1080p content can be viewed without a problem.

HSPA Plus Android Smartphone

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:40:00 GMT

The world’s first HSPA plus Android smartphone was claimed by Huawei and indeed during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona we didn’t run into any more. When we arrived at the Huawei booth, we still had to search for this fine example of technology and finally we saw a glimpse of the new Huawei U8800 handset. It was presented under a bit dingy synthetic cube. But we weren’t born yesterday; what goes in can always come out is our motto. Thus lift that cube up and take a closer look at the Huawei U8800 Android Smartphone. There is of course a reason why the new Huawei mobile phone cannot be seen functioning… this is a pre-production Beta sample.

Acer Liquid E review

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:00:00 GMT

Acer brought some new Smartphones to the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Spain, including the “new” Acer Liquid E. “New” because it is actually a further developed version of a smartphone that was introduced last year: the Acer Liquid cell phone. It is interesting for the owners of an Acer Liquid handset to see the possibilities that the Acer Liquid e mobile phone has due to the software applications of Android 2.1. But if Acer Liquid smartphone owners still have a bit of patience, their OS can be updated to version 2.1 in the summer of 2010, at least that is the expectation that was created during our visit to the Acer booth during the MWC 2010.

HTC HD mini review

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:00:00 GMT

A remarkable development in Smartphones is the running trend to go smaller. Smaller smartphones, with smaller displays. Although that is a broad concept, because a 3.2-inch format display is still not less than average for a modern smartphone. In any case, there was reason enough for HTC to come up with the HTC HD mini smartphone. It is a new Windows Mobile smartphone with a more compact design and with a more modest format display of 3.2 inches. In comparison with the high-end smartphones with a 4.3-inch format, it makes quite a difference. During the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Spain we took a moment to have a closer look at the new HTC HD mini Smartphone.

Motorola Backflip review

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:20:00 GMT

We first ran into the new Motorola Backflip Smartphone during the Sneak Preview, an event preceding the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas. The CES is the most important consumer electronics show of the world. Before that, it was mostly a rumor going around about a new Motorola Smartphone with a unique design. And the design of the Motorola Backflip handset is indeed unique. Although the Backflip smartphone from Motorols is no high-end phone, it still has some unique qualities; a bit of a different design, a touch panel on the back of the display(!), and a back with a keypad. Additionally, the display can be almost entirely ‘turned around’ to then be positioned above the keypad.

Samsung Stunt

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:40:00 GMT

Cricket Communications, provider of unlimited wireless services and subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, and Samsung Mobile announce the availability of the new Samsung Stunt (SCH-R100). A slim, sleek and stylish bar phone, the Samsung Stunt phone comes loaded with Mobile Web, Games & Apps, Bluetooth, long battery life, speakerphone and voice commands. In addition, Crickets MyBackup, which enables subscribers to automatically protect their mobile contacts without the hassle of data cables, is available on the Samsung Stunt via a link in the contact list. The Samsung Stunt mobile phone is a sophisticated evolution from its predecessor, the Samsung SCH-R211, and features a larger 128 x 160 color display and slimmer design.

HTC HD2 review

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:00:00 GMT

It did not come as a surprise that the first mobile phones equipped with Windows Mobile 6.5 software were HTC phones, since HTC is considered market leader of Windows Mobile Smartphones. The HTC Touch 2 and HTC HD2 are the first HTC models featuring this system. Although several models were already launched onto the market earlier with the ability to download a free update to Windows Mobile 6.5. When it comes to HTC, the design of the menu has greatly improved. We have taken a closer look at the HTC HD2.

Mobile World Congress 2011

Remarkable affairs at the Mobile World Congress will always exist, but in the domain of manufacturers and hardware, not many things were presented at the Mobile World Congress that caused a stir. There is of course the case of Nokia that announced early on that they would not be present at the MWC 2010, at least not on the show floor. What Nokia did do, was rent a location in Barcelona at the same time of Mobile World Congress and wait for visitors to show up. It is hard for us to say if this was a good idea. In any case, we did not go, and seeing the publications written about Nokia, we don’t get the feeling that this was a bad decision.

Sony-Ericsson cell phones

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:00:00 GMT

Manufacturer Sony-Ericsson was also present during the Mobile World Congress. Only Sony-Ericsson’s booth was not really remarkable. There was little attention for the Sony Ericsson brand; you could walk right by it without noticing it. We were able to count the name Sony Ericsson only twice on the booth. This is a strange choice made by the designer of this booth. Of course it all depends on the product portfolio that Sony-Ericsson presented, which was quite a weighty presentation. No less than Sir Howard String, CEO of Sony, expressed that Sony is far but finished with Sony Ericsson…

HTC Desire review

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:40:00 GMT

Also named the Google Nexus One look-a-like, the new HTC Desire Smartphone was presented during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. HTC Mobile is a Taiwanese cell phone manufacturer that has been making a lot of noise with the introduction of interesting new Smartphones in the last few years, and HTC is always good for its remarkable technical specifications such as the case of the HTC Desire. The new, slim-line designed HTC Desire is equipped with a fast 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a large, 3.7-inch format display. The display is not only remarkable in terms of format; the screen is a multi-touch AMOLED-type screen, so that the color saturation and contrast are immediately noticeable.

HTC Legend review

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:20:00 GMT

HTC Mobile was also present and presented several interesting mobile products during the Mobile World Congress in Spain, including the new HTC Legend Smartphone. That was not really a surprise anymore, as several rumors already appeared at the end of 2009 wherein the HTC Legend, among others was named. But holding the final, functioning product in your hands is still always the moment of the first impression. After the presentation we took the time to give the HTC Legend a more thorough look. The first thing that we noticed is that it’s solid, in terms of body quality, without making this new HTC smartphone heavy to hold.

12 Megapixel camera phone

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:00:00 GMT

The NTT Docomo booth at the Mobile World Congress is always a good place to find a remarkable and unique mobile product. Next to the wooden smartphone, the NTT Docomo Touch Wood, we also ran into the NTT Docomo F-04B handset. On the whole it looks futuristic, especially when it appears that by pushing on the bottom of the NTT F-04B, it can be split into two pieces. The fun part is that the separate pieces can still communicate with each other through Bluetooth technology. Additionally, very ingenious, it is even possible to choose which or both pieces will be used for communication. Both pieces have a microphone and speaker. But how does the battery work?

Garmin-Asus Smartphone

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:12:00 GMT

The times that you used your cell phone only to make calls, seem like a long time ago. In this way we saw many applications during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona that have nothing to do with mobile communication, but that do all make use of the cell phone platform and its different operating systems. The value of a cell phone and also measure of dependence that we have of a smartphone becomes greater every day. In this way we see several new Garmin-Asus products, including the new Garmin-Asus A50. At first glance it seems to be a strong combination of mobile communication and GPS navigation.

Toshiba TG02 Smartphone

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:40:00 GMT

Toshiba launched the TG01 Smartphone during the Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona. Then, a smartphone with the fastest processor available, but unfortunately the Toshiba TG01 Smartphone lacked true high-end technical specifications to beat last year’s competition. The mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona gave Toshiba a second chance. The Toshiba TG02 Smartphone did not really come as surprise. We had a look at the new Toshiba TG02 Windows Smartphone. The body of the new Toshiba smartphone seems to be a bit smaller, but the large format screen has stayed.

Dolby Mobile on LG phone

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:50:00 GMT

At the 2010 GSMA Mobile World Congress, LG Electronics and Dolby Laboratories held the first public demonstration of 5.1 multichannel surround sound on a mobile phone using the latest version of Dolby Mobile technology and an LG Android-based smartphone. Dolby Mobile is an audio platform designed to deliver rich, vibrant audio and dramatically improve listening enjoyment. The latest version of Dolby Mobile now offers support for discrete 5.1-channel surround sound. Announced in July 2008, the strategic collaboration between LG and Dolby has already created 20 mobile phone models with rich and enhanced audio for the market that are available today or are in development.

Puma solar phone

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:25:00 GMT

A nicely remarkable appearance was the introduction of the so-called Puma phone. It is a new smartphone that was created through intense collaboration between Puma and Sagem. We must admit that at first we were a bit skeptical. It is nice to collaborate, and ride on each other’s coattails, but after a first encounter, this Sagem Puma solar smartphone seems to be a pretty good thing. In terms of hardware, this Puma phone is not really remarkable, except of course its start screen. With a display format of 2.8-inches and a pretty standard resolution, these are not features with which the Puma phone can distinguish itself.

Samsung Wave games

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:03:00 GMT

That a new Samsung Wave mobile phone was introduced during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Spain did not escape the attention of anyone interested in mobile news. Bada, Samsung’s new mobile OS on which the Samsung Wave handset runs, is meant to be the open platform for which Apps can be massively developed. There was a short game demonstration at the Samsung booth, but the real winner is the Polish developer Gamileon, who announced that the popular platform game Furry Legends will also be available for the Bada platform. Furry Legend is a 3D mobile game, so Samsung Wave’s 1Ghz processor will probably be running at full capacity.

Waterproof solar phone

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:45:00 GMT

We have already seen mobile phones with solar technology before, but NTT Docomo has gone a step further. During the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, we saw the NTT Solar Hybrid, a waterproof phone that runs on solar energy. Well isn’t that handy when you want to sail around the world in the sun on your boat. Solar-powered mobile devices do not seem to be very popular among the masses. That is not so strange, as a couple of days visit to the MWC 2010 in Spain did not deliver much sunshine. You have to be able to feed such a product with sunlight. And fun in the sun was not exactly present in Barcelona.

Wooden mobile phone

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:30:00 GMT

NTT Docomo showed what is possible with wood as a raw material. Together with Olympus, among others, a phone has been designed with a wooden body. By working with soft, natural wood, designing a rough design with 3D technologies, putting this into a mould to form a design with steam, and then to process it in a way that is patented by Olympus, it has become possible to design a wooden phone. The impregnating process ensures for, among others, that the NTT Docomo Touch Wood phone is protected against the elements such as moisture, insects and mold. Unfortunately the NTT Touch Wood cannot be found outside of Japan.

Huawei cell phones

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:20:00 GMT

According to president Lu Yimin, president of China Unicom, it just might be possible that the amount of 3G subscribers or providers will raise significantly the world over if the cell phone manufacturers are successful in lowering the prices of the 3G smartphones. The amounts of high-end 3G phones are available in high numbers, but there are not many entry-level models. And according to Lu Yimin, that's where there are more chances for success. Huawei Technologies has in any case understood that and presented several low-priced 3G phones during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. And when both companies have their way, this could mean quite a boost in sales.

Samsung Wave Smartphone

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:10:00 GMT

One of the biggest and most remarkable booths at the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona was Samsung’s. It was remarkable and majestic, and at the same time with a spectacular introduction of the Samsung Wave, Samsung’s first Bada smartphone with a amazing Super AMOLED display. And despite its large surface area, Samsung managed to keep the whole thing well-organized. The different software Apps in combination with the new Samsung Wave Smartphone were displayed separately, each with a Samsung employee for the necessary text and explanation. This way, all the extensive function and application possibilities that a modern cell phone has these days, were well presented.

Samsung projector phone

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:00:00 GMT

We are already familiar with projectors from diverse users, mostly subdivided in a business and a consumers group. Lately, we have seen an expansion in application possibilities. Nikon has a camera in its assortment, the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj, with a built-in projector. This has a fairly high gadget feeling, but still, handy uses can be invented with it. But Samsung has also found the opportunity to integrate a projector into the cell phone. The Samsung i8520 Beam was introduced at the MWC 2010 and of course immediately demonstrated. The Samsung Beam is the first Android smartphone with projector and support for HD video recording.

Vodafone phones

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:37:00 GMT

With the little imaginative name 250, Vodafone introduces a new low budget phone. The new Vodafone cell phone is a real price-buster, and that seems justified in terms of the price/quality ratio, so that a relatively large market segment is still available to it. According to a Vodafone representative, one can think of a sales market such as India, but also African countries such as Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, etc. Vodafone’s mission is to allow everyone to enjoy the eases and often lifesavers of communication possibilities. With the Vodafone 250 budget cell phone, most elementary communication services can be executed.

Acer beTouch Smartphone review

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:30:00 GMT

During the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona we also visited the Acer booth. During this event, Acer introduced 5 new affordable Smartphones, including the Acer beTouch E400. The Acer E400 beTouch is a smartphone that runs on the popular Google Android OS. According to Cristina Saita, Acer’s International Public Relations representative, the beTouch E400 runs on Android 2.1 and the new Acer smartphone is equipped with a 600Mhz lcomm processor. What’s immediately noticeable is the large format display with which the Acer beTouch E400 mobile phone is equipped. A 3.2-inch touch screen is the largest format, but it is easy to use.

Motorola Quench review

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:00:00 GMT

Motorola’s presence during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona did not go by unnoticed. Motorola seems to make optimal use of the increasing popularity of Google’s Android OS. In the period preceding the MWC 2010, the air was buzzing with rumors about many new Android phones, including the so-called Zeppelin. The pseudonym Zeppelin received its official name, the Motorola Quench (Motorola Cliq XT in the US), and we were given a quick review during our visit to the Mobile World Congress. The Motorola Quench handset is an Android smartphone that can be placed in the middle segment. The first sensation that the Motorola Quench Smartphone gives is fair, not very solid, but also not too cheap.

Samsung Wave

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:30:00 GMT

The introduction of the Samsung Wave smartphone has put Samsung at the center of attention, as is demonstrated in the world press. The enormous Samsung booth here at Mobile World Congress, both in size and striking appearance, makes the Sony Ericsson booth that it faces, pale in comparison. The Samsung brand is emanating a message at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a message which the Koreans have understood. In terms of hardware, a piece with which Samsung distinguishes itself is the AMOLED display technology. Displays and cell phones are available in all kinds of combinations of shapes and sizes, but the Samsung Wave’s Super AMOLED is unequalled elsewhere.

The first quarter of the year is an important time for the mobile phone industry. It's the time for manufactures to open up about the strategies that will be applied to launch new products into the market. It is going to be an important year for manufacturers. The manufacturer's automatic gain of market share no longer depends on the mobile phone or technology; after all, this technology is widely accessible by now. It are in fact the services and support, through which the consumer arranges, maintains and searches for his contacts within his personal social network, that will determine, or at least become increasingly vital, how successful the manufacturer will be.

Nokia N900 review

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 02:31:00 GMT

Operating systems play an increasingly more important role when choosing a new mobile phone. Besides the design and the speed, many of its functionalities strongly depend on the phone’s operating system. Nokia always uses Symbian OS for high-end mobile phones. Symbian enables installing applications, and also managing your agenda and email account is easy and straightforward. Besides Symbian, Nokia also uses a further developed Open Source operating system, the Linux-based Maemo. The Nokia N900 is the first phone to make use of this operating system, where it is called Maemo 5.

HTC Incredible

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:45:00 GMT

Right before the start of the Mobile World Congress 2010, where we will go with a team to find the remaining news items that have not yet slipped through the large cracks in the (Inter)net, information has been leaked about the HTC Incredible smartphone. This HTC smartphone will be included in Verizon’s assortment and will apparently be one of the fastest smartphones available. The HTC Incredible mobile smartphone will have a large format display, although the exact dimensions are not clear yet, but will be approximately 3.7 inches. The HTC Incredible’s speed will be achieved thanks to the fast Snapdragon processor with a fast 256MB RAM.

Nokia C5

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:15:00 GMT

Despite Nokia's absence on the show floor at the most important communication event, the Mobile World Congress, we can apparently prepare ourselves for a new series of Nokia smartphones. Recently leaked information points to new series of cell phones, the Nokia C-series, which includes the Nokia C5 mobile phone. The first cell phone specifications seem to suggest that it will not be a spectacular high-end phone, but we estimate that the Nokia C5 smartphone will be place in the middle segment. And for a change we are not even talking about an Android phone, but about a Nokia Symbian S60 mobile phone, which should also be fun for a change…

Samsung Monte

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:25:00 GMT

The Samsung S-series cell phones will be extended with a new model: the Samsung S5620 Monte. The few Samsung S5620 phone specifications that have been leaked indicate an advanced full-touch Samsung smartphone with Wi-Fi as well as 3G support. The internal memory of the Samsung Monte smartphone will have 200 MB, but can be extended with a microSD / microSDHC memory card. Next to the WiFi and 3G support, GPS and HSDPA will also be supported. The display will have a 3-inch format, but it is unknown if the Samsung S56020 Monte phone will have an AMOLED type screen. We expect to hear more about the Samsung Monte during the Mobile World Congress 2010.

Motorola Zeppelin

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:20:00 GMT

Brazil... the land of beautiful women and sensational soccer, and at the same time it is the country where the first tangible evidence of the existence of the Motorola Zeppelin has surfaced. The Motorola Zeppelin is a new Android smartphone that is expected to be officially introduced shortly. We think it to be very likely that the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona will be used for this introduction. We have a hunch that with all the new Motorola phones, it will be really busy at the Motorola stand. The first rumors about the Motorola Zeppelin smartphone seem to suggest an Android 1.5, while we had at first expected it to be an Android version 2.

Toshiba TG02

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:15:00 GMT

The information is still quite scarce, but the mentioning of the existence of the Toshiba TG02, due to the approval by the FCC, seems to be true. The TG01 was one of the first smartphones for which speed and a large display were important specifications. Last year during the Mobile World Congress, the TG01 was presented, but the expected success has not been achieved. Quickly, competing, comparable smartphones appeared on the market with improvements on especially the small details that the TG01 did not fulfill. Toshiba has watched the competition at work for a year now and has been able to reach its conclusions. Will the Toshiba TG02 be able to surpass the competition?

iPad reviewed

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:40:00 GMT

Apple’s iPad announcement is big news. It’s a robust tablet form factor that is a half-inch thick and weighs 1.5 pounds, with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display that supports 1024x768 VGA video.The ebook implementation is everything one would expect. The application can be downloaded from the App Store and the content is managed by the “iTunes” platform, so it seamlessly integrates e-book with the other popular personal content.

Apple iPad accessories

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:00:00 GMT

Belkin presents three new sleeves - Vue, Max, and Grip to protect your new Apple iPad while you’re on the move. These 10-inch sleeves are designed with reinforced panels to fully protect your Apple iPad touch screen from scratches, while still offering storage for other media devices such as an Apple iPhone, media reader, or earbuds. The Apple iPad user is one who is moving from place to place, so we’ve designed our cases to protect the device from this movement and activity. People will be using their Apple iPad tablet often to get online, so they’ll need easy access to them and, similarly, they’ll need their case to be gripable but also protective.

HTC Supersonic

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:28:00 GMT

There must be someone in that marketing department that had a side job next to their study that was solely comprised of inventing silly names? Well, that person is working for several different cell phone manufacturers or there are several people that meet that profile. Take for example the following rumor: the existence of the HTC Supersonic smartphone. Supersonic? I thought that that name had disappeared with the disappearance of the Concord flights! The HTC Supersonic is supposed to be the full successor of the HTC HD2 smartphone. Why not just call that smartphone the HTC HD3?

Sanyo Incognito

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:10:00 GMT

Boost Mobile adds another addition to its ever-expanding handset line-up. Building on the launch of Monthly Unlimited on the Nationwide Sprint Network earlier this month, Boost Mobile and Kyocera Communications announce the availability of Boost’s first-ever QWERTY clamshell phone, the Sanyo Incognito by Kyocera at a reduced price of $129.99.

Samsung Galaxy 2

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:20:00 GMT

Just before the start of the MWC, we’ve received info about some new phones, however, there always seems to be some smartphones slipping through the mazes, which have not yet formally made their appearance in the press. Take the Samsung Galaxy 2 for example, which is apparently the successor to Samsung's first Android smartphone, and this time it has improved specifications. The first information that has reached us about the Samsung Galaxy 2 creates high expectations of a fairly advanced Android smartphone. This Samsung Android smartphone features a fast 1GHz Snapdragon processor and is said to feature up to 32GB internal memory for the Apps, photo, video and all sorts of data.

Motorola Motosplit

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:50:00 GMT

Over the past six months, Motorola has shown it very well knows how to place itself in the limelight. With the arrival of Google Android OS and an internal reorganization of strategy within the Motorola ranks, the mobile world suddenly looks a whole lot brighter for Motorola. One after another, the Motorola Android smartphones seem to become world news. Suddenly, it is cool and hot to go for a Motorola, which is quite a turnaround! We are very curious to see how Motorola will do during the Mobile World Congress, we predict the Motorola booth will be a very crowded one. Although it seems quite unlikely we will find the Motorola MOTOSPLIT showcased right there and then.

3D TV films

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:40:00 GMT

For those who have seen a 3D movie in the last 12 months, the percentage increases to 76%.”

Nokia has announced plans to release a new version of Ovi Maps for Nokia smartphones that includes high-end walk and drive navigation at no extra cost, available for download at the Nokia maps website.

Sony SD memory cards

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:05:00 GMT

Surprising, but also to be expected, was the introduction of the Sony SD, SDHC and microSD/SDHC memory cards. With the introduction of the new Sony CyberShot cameras, the specifications showed that besides supporting Sony's own Memory Stick, they also now support the SD platform. This is a logical choice, seeing that almost all manufacturers made this step years ago, or in the case of Olympus, who made it recently. What the consequences will be in the long run for the Memory Stick is yet to be seen, but we expect that this is the first step in the complete conversion to the SD/SDHC and undoubtedly the SDXC flash memory cards in the coming year or two.

External HyperMac battery

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:00:00 GMT

During our visit to the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas, we came across a new Sanho product. Sanho presented its solution for everyone that yearns for more energy for their MacBook or iPhone. With the solution that Sanho offers, the HyperMac external battery, the energy capacity of a MacBook is extended to an impressive 34 hours. The Sanho HyperMac is the only battery that supports all the MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pros. The Sanho HyperMac external USB battery is available in four varieties (60-220Wh), and is also able to provide extra energy for the Apple iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs and various other types of USB equipment.

SDXC memory cards

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:27:00 GMT

Last year, the specifications of a new generation of Secure Digital flash (SD) memory cards were made public. And these were, to put it lightly, impressive. With SD as base and SDHC (SD High Capacity) for higher storage capacities of a maximum of 32GB, a heavy specification requirement was set for every new type of card that would take over after SDHC. However, anyone taking a look at the SDXH (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) roadmap, and sees a storage capacity of 2TB and a bus interface speed of 104MB/sec to 300MB/sec in a later phase, will soon be convinced. Panasonic starts off this year with the introduction of the first 48GB and 64GB SDXC memory cards.

3D glasses

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:26:00 GMT

There was literally no escaping it, the 3D thunderstorm hit like a fast-moving train through the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Centre during the Consumer Electronics Show. Various arrangements with diverse high-end 3D multimedia content were shown, the one even more convincing than the other, so that one thing was clear: 3D will definitely be conquering a place in the living room. The Plasma, LED and other HDTV screens each look fantastic, the one slimmer and more beautiful designed than the other, but with the common denominator of the 3D glasses. We all have to subscribe to it, at least if we want to experience 3D at our homes.

Motorola navigation system

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:25:00 GMT

Not only Motorola smartphones of the newest Motorola Android cell phones were shown during the CES, but also Motorola navigation was present. It seems as if Motorola has all the wind in its sails and is launching one product after the other, and receiving a mostly positive response. Internally, it was necessary for Motorola to reorganize, as they have thrown all the old dead weight overboard and with a fresh wind, a little help from Google’s Android, we are now seeing a different Motorola from the years before. Innovative, fast and driven by an open source, 2010 promises to be an interesting year for Motorola. The Motorola Motonav TN700 is such a new navigation product.

Motorola photo frames

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:24:00 GMT

Motorola not only showed up at the CES with a tremendous amount of cell phones, but we also saw a few Motorola photo frames on display there. Digital photo frames have become quite popular over the past few years, not only for the consumers at home, but also in display windows or with other business activities we are seeing the digital frames being used more and more often as a means of communication. The Motorola digital photo frames are available in diverse formats and models. The frames are pretty standard in themselves, and not exactly eye-catchers, but after all, it is the content that is shown that will determine if the Motorola digital photo frames will grab attention.

Samsung AMOLED photo frame

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:23:00 GMT

Digital photo frames can be found at every manufacturer, so also at Samsung. Samsung puts out a large amount of types and formats. In terms of design, Samsung has designed beautiful frames. Especially the AMOLED photo frame, the Samsung 700Z, distinguishes itself from the rest of the standard photo frames that we came across in masses during our visit to the CES. The design of the Samsung 700Z photo frame has prioritized performance and design, and is directed to the consumer with a small office. A good example is the DLNA-certification with which the Samsung photo frame easily becomes part of the (DLNA-) home network. This Samsung photo frame will be available as of March.

Microsoft Zune HD

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:22:00 GMT

The newest generation of Microsoft portable media players, the Zune HD, had its own spot during the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas. Visitors could listen to content and also receive a detailed explanation to convince them that the current content-service offered by Microsoft can be very attractive for them. The Microsoft Zune HD has a built-in HD radio receiver with a higher quality of sound. Via the HD radio stations, listeners get direct access to music and information about the artist. When the broadcast contains a track that you don't really like, you can switch to HD2 or HD3 to listen to a different one. Multitasking indeed!

Plantronics Bluetooth headset

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:21:00 GMT

Plantronics showed several Bluetooth headset solutions. One of these headsets on display was the Plantronics Voyager Pro. This headset has been on the market for a while, but it is still praised for its quality. The Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset is equipped with an advanced noise suppression system and an echo reduction function, so that a clear and distinctly audible communication can be achieved. The Secure Simple Pairing and QuickPair technologies ensure for a trouble-free connection between the Plantronics headset and a Bluetooth cell phone. Additionally, a handy battery indicator signals when it is time to recharge the headset.

LG digital photo frames

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:20:00 GMT

LG’s digital photo frames offer you the possibility of showing your photos or play your music easily. The digital photo frame is gaining popularity, as almost every manufacturer has a solution in its assortment. The LG F8010P is a fairly extensive photo frame with which the consumer has quite a few more possibilities than the standard photo frame. The LG photo frame is not very remarkable in terms of its appearance: with a white frame it will not be an eye-catcher in the modern living room. Still, this changes as soon as the first images appear on the screen. That’s when the LG digital photo frame stands out, and will be an eye-catcher in the house.

JVC iPod dock

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:19:00 GMT

Apple has shaken quite a bit up in the electronics industry in the past few years. Instead of being just as innovative as Apple, the other manufacturers are nearly falling over themselves to serve the Apple products. In this trend, a ton of iPod accessories are being offered by various different manufacturers, including JVC. At the JVC booth we saw several new iPod docks, including the JVC RA-P1 and RD-N1 multifunctional iPod and iPhone docks. The JVC P1 dock has a stylish design and its main function is a radio alarm clock with an integrated docking for the Apple iPhone 3G cell phone. This allows you to use your iPhone 3G as an alarm clock accessory.

eBook readers

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:18:00 GMT

The market for eBook readers seems to have been opened up definitely. The first sale figures in Europe are slowly coming in and almost all the sale figures far surpass the expectations. The American market has already gotten used to reading digital texts, Amazon has being doing good business, but now also lesser known manufacturers such as Astak are making appearances. What this will mean for E-ink readers is not yet clear, but it could mean an early reduction in prices. The CES show displayed several eReaders. The Astak 6-inch Mentor and the Astak 5-inch EZ Reader Pocket Pro are such readers that will also fight for the much-desired market share.

Toshiba Camileo camcorders

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:17:00 GMT

The Toshiba stand showed diverse products, including the Toshiba Camileo H30, Toshiba S20 and Toshiba X100 digital camcorders. This series of Toshiba camcorders was shown before during the previous IFA in Berlin (Germany), but this is most likely the first time that the Toshiba camcorders see the continental USA. The Toshiba Camileo H30 combines an extended functionality with user-friendliness. The Toshiba H30 camcorder is equipped with a 10 Megapixel CMOS sensor and records images in Full HD resolution. The Toshiba Camileo H30’s zoom lens has a 5x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom, so it's possible to photograph all kinds of subjects close-up.

Hyundai mobile phones

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:16:00 GMT

During all the 3D craziness and innovative technology, we came across a showcase with several Hyundai cell phones. Now we know Hyundai from the previous MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona, and saw it to be an active mobile phone manufacturer with a strong price-quality ratio for its products. But where did the mobile products end up after the Mobile World Congress 2009? The European website has disappeared and further inquiry tells us that Leitz-Austria from Vienna, responsible for the distribution of the Hyundai cell phones, went bankrupt last year with millions of Euros in debts. The Hyundai cell phones division was thus a victim of that bankruptcy.

Sony TransferJet

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:15:00 GMT

With the introduction of the new Sony CyberShot HX5V and Sony TX7, simultaneously a new function is revealed, namely the TransferJet. Sony is keeping the information about this new technology a bit in the background, partly due to the fact that Transfer Jet technology is still in an advanced development stage. This wireless technology was first developed by Sony and further co-developed and promoted by 18 other manufacturers. TransferJet technology makes it possible to transfer a maximum of 10 files between two devices that support TransferJet. The only thing necessary is that the two devices are held side by side for a short moment.

LG Apollo

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:35:00 GMT

In the gossip circles the tables seem to have been turned somewhat. The end of 2009 proved to produce a lot of attention for Google Android and its rare manufacturer-fans, but now we are seeing more sources surfacing with the necessary information about Windows Mobile 7. There is talk of a Windows Phone 7 Business Edition OS, especially made for OEM phones with their own GUI as well. One of the first Windows cell phones that are named is the LG Apollo, which is probably the same model that we named as the possible LG Windows Mobile 7 phone for the third quarter of 2010. The MWC 2010 in Barcelona will surely provide more information about this.

LG Windows Mobile 7 smartphones

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:34:00 GMT

An overactive Twitterer has leaked out LG's plans for Windows Mobile 7 early. According to the tweets, LG is planning on introducing their first LG Windows Mobile 7 phones in September of this year. And it’s about time that Microsoft came out with something new. Windows Mobile OS’s marketing share of the cell phone market is disappearing like snow under the sun, and we don't think that this is really what Microsoft is aiming for. The LG Mobile 7 cell phones will possibly be named for the first time during the coming Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. The MWC 2010 show will be held from February 15th to 18th, in the Fira Montjuïc Venue.

Microsoft Zune smartphone

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:33:00 GMT

The following rumor actually seems to us to be more than logical: the Microsoft Zune smartphone. We are actually even more surprised that it has taken so long to appear. Of course a lot is implied, as a smartphone that has the potential to achieve everything that the iPhone has achieved in the past few years, cannot be put onto the world market overnight. Microsoft Zune has managed to achieve a small fan base, but what we have noticed is that certain strategic services are often unknown to the consumer. During our recent visit to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, this was also confirmed to us by a Microsoft employee.

LG GD970

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:32:00 GMT

Information about new cell phones is coming at us from all directions. One of the rumors speaks of a nearing introduction of a new LG smartphone, the LG GD970. Specific information about this LG 3G cell phone is not available right now, but departing from the model name, for convenience’s sake we are assuming that it could be the successor to the LG GD900 Crystal. If the LG GD970 smartphone will make us forget about the GD900 phone, than the specifications need to be improve. We are expecting a 3.7-inch format touchscreen display with improved touch technology. We should be receiving more information at the MCW (Mobile World Congress) 2010 in Barcelona.

Samsung W930 Corby Folder

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:31:00 GMT

The Samsung Corby seems to be pretty successful. At first it seemed as if the Samsung Corby was a flashy design phone, but quickly the Samsung Corby proved to be quite popular. It is so popular that the Samsung design department hasn’t been sitting still, as they have designed various different Corby phones. In Korea a so-called clamshell Samsung Corby will be made available shortly, known as the Samsung W930. It is expected that this Samsung W930 Corby will also make an appearance on the European continent. The Mobile World Congress will start in Spain in a couple of weeks, which seems like a fine moment for the introduction of a Samsung W930?

Samsung M3710 Corby Beat

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:30:00 GMT

According to sources, a new Samsung M3710 Corby Beat appears to have come off of the drawing board. The Samsung Corby phone has quickly become quite popular, and that is probably the reason why Samsung was inspired to further develop its design. Quite a few Corby phones have already been named recently, but the Samsung M3710 Corby Beat is quite a special one indeed. The Samsung M3710 Corby Beat is a combination of a Corby and a Beat phone. The latter was officially introduced during the MCW (Mobile World Congress) in 2009, and as suspected the main feature is music. Perhaps the Samsung Corby Beat will, in contrast to the Beat, become a hit.

Sony-Ericsson Vivaz HD

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:25:00 GMT

Sony Ericsson Vivaz follows on from the Xperia X10 announced in November 2009, and is the second mobile phone in the new family of communication entertainment phones coming to market in the first half of 2010. Sony Ericsson Vivaz HD handset will come to market in Q1 2010. With Sony-Ericsson Vivaz communication truly becomes entertainment with high quality HD video allowing consumers to produce and broadcast their best experiences with the latest video capture and sharing features.

Motorola Motoroi

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:20:00 GMT

Motorola inaugurated a new era in Korea’s mobile lifestyle with the introduction of Motoroi, the first smart phone in Korea to be powered by Android version 2.0.

HTC Obsession

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 23:50:00 GMT

There are rumors circulating that are starting to take on colossal levels. According to the most recent information, the HTC Obsession smartphone will be a megahit smartphone, if we are to believe the diverse sources. If we go along with this information, the HTC Obsession smartphone is looking pretty spectacular. The rumored HTC Obsession smartphone is a so-called Media Edition cell phone; it is a high-end mobile phone with the Windows Phone 7 Media Edition Operating System. This segment of cell phones will prioritize the spectacular HD experience. Just think about the basis of the Microsoft Zune HD media player, that has extensive communication functions.

Motorola Shadow Android phone

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:30:00 GMT

The leaking of unknown Motorola cell phones seems to be turning into a conscious strategy. So it is apparent that Motorola has a large series of new cell phones planned for 2010 and especially the first quarter of 2010, but is seems as though not a week goes by that we see an ‘unexpected' new model appearing. This time it is the Motorola Shadow, although Motorola Mirage is also given as a possible model name. The Motorola Shadow mobile phone’s large 4.3-inch format LCD screen is remarkable, only the HTC HD2 phone has a comparable display. It is also expected that the Motorola Shadow will be equipped with the popular Google Android Operating System.

Samsung C3630

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:21:00 GMT

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:17:00 GMT

Slowly, more and more details are being released about the new Motorola Android cell phone.

Mobile photography should also be possible with the Motorola XT701, via a built-in 5 Megapixel camera that records pictures with a resolution of 2592x1944 pixels. That is enough for a fine print.

Philips Xenium X605

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:15:00 GMT

Where, when and if we will come across the Philips Xenium X605 cell phone in real life, is uncertain.

Mobile software application downloads

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:57:00 GMT

ABI Research expects application downloads to reach five billion by 2014. That is an increase from an estimated 2.3 billion applications downloaded in 2009. The growing adoption of smartphones which saw sales rise 20% in 2009, as well as the proliferation of application stores, are the major drivers for this expansive surge. ABI Research expects revenue from mobile app sales to decline by 2013, as competition will lead to downward pressure on application prices, and a greater proportion of “must-have” applications will begin to face competition from free or advertising-supported substitutes. This has already started to happen, with the launch of Google’s free turn-by-turn navigation service.

Future of Mobile Retailing

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:47:00 GMT

Research and Markets: "The Future of Mobile Retailing on the High Street". The last 24 months has seen rapid change on the high street for mobile phone retailers, particularly in the United Kingdom. What had been a vigorous and vibrant independent sector is now looking diminished and under threat. In a bid to improve customer relationships and thereby increase sales, some network operators have trebled their retail presence in town centres, to the detriment of independent dealers and resellers. Mobile markets elsewhere in Europe, and in North America, are seeing their own changes in the retailing landscape, brought about by ever-increasing competition and the fight for market share.

HTC Legend

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:35:00 GMT

Coming up with the name Legend in order to market a future mobile phone will certainly raise expectations. If these will actually be met by the HTC Legend is left to be seen, as this HTC Android smartphone is planned for March 2010. For the time being, it seems that the HTC Legend is a smartphone that will follow up the well-known Magic or Hero mobile phones. As stylish design is one of the expected attributes, and it has a metal border, it is only 11.4 mm thick, and is equipped with HTC Sense technology, the projected HTC proves indeed to be interesting. We are still kept on hold, though, at least until March 2010.

The leaked HTC roadmap makes it clear that the name will actually be HTC Bravo. The HTC Bravo smartphone is equipped with a fast Snapdragon QSD 8250 1GHz processor and therefore the HTC Bravo fits in the Performance segment. The HTC Bravo mobile phone will also support 720p HD video, a quality that we will come across more and more in the coming year.

HTC Trophy

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:40:00 GMT

The leaking of an HTC mobile phone roadmap for 2010 has released information about a new series of HTC smartphones with Android and Windows Mobile OS.

One of the new HTC phones will be a new Windows Mobile smartphone, the HTC Trophy. Not much is known yet, but for now we can assume that the HTC Trophy WCDMA / HSPA: 900 / 2100Mhz will support the network with GSM / GPRS / EDGE: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900Mhz support. The OS will be at least Windows Mobile 6.5.

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:30:00 GMT

The HTC Tera was leaked; at least that's what we assume. Information about the shape of the HTC roadmap for the first period of 2010 has been leaked. Earlier, similar information about the future HTC mobile phone surfaced, and appeared to be quite accurate after the fact. That's why we will assume that this recent information will be the most accurate info about the future HTC phones for now. The HTC Tera smartphone is similar, in many respects, to the known HTC Touch Pro2, a phone that LetsGoMobile mobile phone reviewer Casper van der Kaaij gave a thorough test run this year. We expect that the HTC Tera mobile phone will be geared towards the active or business user.

Satmap GPS handheld review

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:30:00 GMT

Satmap launched its first product, the Active 10, at the end of 2007. The launch in itself was a good initiative, while there are not that many suppliers for this type of GPS devices, and it is always good to have a bit of a competition. Reading on the Internet about the Active 10, particularly at the time the business was just taking off, we find many complaints, partially correct and partially caused by the greater comfort other devices offer. Gradually through time, the tone of the comments has changed, although this did require several updates and a price cut.

LG Arena Max

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:15:00 GMT

Information has surfaced about a possible successor for the popular LG Arena smart phone. This information suggests that a possible name for the new model could be LG LU9400 or LG Arena Max. The LG Arena is one of LG's most successful models and has led to quite a high number of sales. The successor, the LG Arena Max, should at least be just as successful, so we at the least expect an equally complete high-end LG smart phone. Very few telephone specifications are known until now, but it is expected that also the LG LU9400 Max will run on LG’s Operating System, combined with the innovative S-Class interface.

The most exclusive and the most expensive iPhone in the world has been made by him, the iPhone 3Gs Supreme. Together with his wife Katherine Hughes, he has designed a "pimped" version of the popular iPhone 3Gs.

Apple iPod Touch video

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 23:25:00 GMT

The introduction of the new iPod Touch caused for some disappointment. Not because of its several shortcomings in audio quality, but because one of the expectations was that the new iPod would be equipped with a digital camera.

Why the digital camera is missing in the new iPod Touch is still unclear until now, but the most persistent rumors say that it was because it did not pass the quality control.

Samsung HD review

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:25:00 GMT

High resolution digital cameras are no longer an exception on mobile phones. It started a few years ago with an integrated VGA camera, which we thought to be very innovative at the time. Currently, however, there are phones on the market featuring an 8.0 or even 12.0 Megapixel camera. Yet the difference in quality does not go unnoticed. Whereas all the attention seems to go to the snapshot camera, the video capture function seems to have been pushed into the background a little bit. However, the Samsung HD now changes this, and actually emphasizes a HD video function.

LG Shine 2

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:06:00 GMT

The LG Shine has another successor with the very unoriginal name LG Shine 2. Since this month, AT&T is offering the new LG Shine 2 handset in its package and is focusing on the bottom end of the market with this stylish budget phone.

Perhaps not quite feasible for St. Nicholas, but the LG Shine 2 could easily be a present under the Christmas tree.

Android mobile software

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:50:00 GMT

Is the end of Windows Mobile in sight? That would be quite a strong statement at the offset. However, when we look at the sales figures that Windows Mobile smartphones achieve compared to the competition, things do not seem to be looking up for Microsoft. According to research, market growth is about 13%, while smartphone sales figures with the Windows Mobile operating system have plummeted. There are at least 20% less smartphones with the Windows Mobile operating system the market, while this is obviously a growing market. This is a result that generally speaking would make any healthy entrepreneur undertake measures.

Sony Ericsson Walkman phone review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:50:00 GMT

With the rise of the Internet, the opportunity to exchange data in large quantities has become widely available. Many programs and Web pages are more than eager to use this option. The current mobile phone is likely to have an internet connection at its disposal. This woke up several phone manufacturers, among which Sony Ericsson, which has resulted in a music portal that even allows the owner of a mobile phone to choose from a wide array of music and download it immediately. We have tested the Sony Ericsson W9965 including its PlayNow Plus service.

If you want to pimp your colorful Samsung Corby mobile phone, you should look at the new Samsung WEP490 headset. The Samsung WEP490 is a standard Bluetooth headset, but has a unique, new appearance. Fitting in the Samsung Corby fashion style, the WEP490 headset is also available in bright colors. From the moment that the Corby Mobile was introduced, the Samsung phone became extremely popular. And don't ask why, because in terms of telephone specifications, we are not even talking about a high-end handset.

New Motorola budget phone

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:32:00 GMT

It has not yet officially been launched however; we do expect the launch of the Motorola i680 any minute now. This Motorola is a clamshell phone aimed at the entry-level market, a so-called budget phone. In times of economical crisis, like today, products aimed at this low budget market become more important than they were before. Even if the Motorola i680 cell phone is not all that exiting when it comes to technique; it definitely features enough multimedia functions to provide entertainment whilst traveling by public transport. The Motorola i680 phone supports Bluetooth and GPS and the 800/900Mhz network. Consequently, the Motorola i680 mobile phone puts itself offside for use within European borders.

With the arrival of the new version of Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile 6.5, HTC was the first to introduce smartphones using this new OS.

Samsung M3310 music phone

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:21:00 GMT

If you are a fan of music phones in a slider form factor, you may find yourself interested in the new Samsung M3310. Sources have provided us with information about the new Samsung sibling, which indicates we're dealing with an initial Russian introduction. However, it could also very well be possible we will come to witness a European model. In 2008, Samsung introduced the F400 in the same segment as the Samsung M3310. Upon opening the M3310 phone, a speaker pops out, which allows you to enjoy your own music. Whether we will find a powerful Bang & Olufsen amplifier, like applied to the Samsung F400, in the M3310 remains to be seen.

iPhone Nano

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:30:00 GMT

One of those persistent rumors that keeps popping up, is about the development of a smaller iPhone 3Gs, also called Apple iPhone Nano. Perhaps an iPhone Nano is simply the most desired item, and we can certainly imagine why. The iPhone 3GS has had a major impact on the development of new phones, and has at the same time also influenced the creative minds of the developers that tend to stay in the background. We can certainly see potential for a small iPhone Nano, although a smaller screen does require appropriate adjustments. The latest rumors report the development of an Apple iPhone Nano with a 2.8-inch screen.

Android OS

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:20:00 GMT

As an enthusiastic consumer you have just figured out that the next cell phone that you will purchase should come equipped with Google Android. So now you decide to leave your lazy internet chair to go and have a look in the telecom shop around the corner. Just by poking around, you already noticed that Android is not just Android, but that there’s Google Android 2.0, Android 1.5, or was it Android 1.6? And more questions come up: Are all Android phones equipped with a multi-touch function, or does that depend on the telephone manufacturer? Now you realize that things are not getting any clearer. One thing is for sure: Google Android OS is hot!

LG GU280 Popcorn

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:40:00 GMT

What's up with all these sugar candy names and mobile phones? If you were strong enough to keep away from the LG Chocolate, and if you were then able to resist, albeit only barely, the NTT DOCOMO design phone with its chocolate layer, you will be tried again when the LG GU280 Popcorn phone becomes available. At this moment, the new LG cell phone has been announced in Italy, however, we expect the LG Popcorn to be available outside Italian borders too. The LG GU280 or LG Popcorn if you like, comes in a white-pink color. I am curious to see if an LG Lollipop, LG Cherry or LG Strawberry will actually turn up next. Could the marketing department really not come up with a more original name at all?

Motorola Quantico

Rubber overmold and sturdy gripping textures make sure you always have a handle, even after it’s been dunked.

T-Mobile Tap

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:37:00 GMT

We are expecting the availability of a new T-Mobile phone shortly; the T-Mobile Tap. We recently learned that at least Deutsche Telekom will sell the T-Mobile Tap, but whether the rest of the world will be able to purchase the same handset, is not yet clear at this time. The T-Mobile Tap is a simple yet stylishly designed cell phone, and comes in two colors; cherry red and so-called midnight blue. This is a typical example of a mobile phone that aims at those users who are genuine design lovers, yet don't like to spend a huge sum of money on it. So it's an budget handset, and in our opinion, there is nothing wrong with that.

Samsung Behold II

NTT Docomo design phone

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:30:00 GMT

What is it about chocolate? Delicious to eat, in any form, but the combination of chocolate and mobile telephony remains a complete mystery to us even on this day. Is this the famous generation gap? Just before the holiday season, NTT will launch a new phone of the Docomo Style series. The NTT Docomo SH-04B is a so-called chocolate mobile phone designed by designer Tadaaki Wakamatsu. Tadaaki is best known for his Q-pot label. The NTT SH-04B mobile cell phone is partially waterproof (IPX 5/7) and mainly stands out from the masses by its design. The chocolate on the NTT Docomo SH-04B housing is dripping off, as it were.

NTT Docomo gadget phone

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:25:00 GMT

If you are pretty attached to gadgets and technology, or to put it in other words; if you are a genuine phone freak, you will definitely fall for the new NTT Docomo Pro series of phones. These NTT mobile phones are the most advanced phones equipped with the latest innovative techniques. Sounds like a dream come true for the real techno freak. The NTT Docomo SH-03B is one of these high-tech phones that will be launched onto the Japanese market in 2010. The NTT SH-03B HSDPA touch phone is equipped with a beautiful 3.7-inch screen with 16 million color reproduction, and features a 5 megapixel camera sensor. With regards to the actual camera, the resolution is remarkably low.

Business phone from NTT Docomo

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:20:00 GMT

One of the most energy-efficient phones of the new NTT Docomo series is the P-03B. The NTT P-03B mobile phone is a sophisticated device aimed at both business users and consumers. Available in three different colors and, for those who don't mind a flight; available on the Japanese market, the NTT Docomo P-03B presents itself as a modern phone with advanced functionality and being the most efficient in terms of energy-consumption. But what good are all these slogans to us? Well, to put it simply, we can make calls of longer duration. The new NTT P-03B business phone is expected to hit the shelves in January/February 2010.

Camera phone from NTT Docomo

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:15:00 GMT

There is a lot in the pipeline for NTT Docomo during the upcoming winter months. One of the new phones is the NTT Docomo F-04B, a unique mobile phone. What makes the NTT F-04B so striking, is the fact that the housing of this phone consists of two parts. It is possible to detach the keyboard and the display, however, thanks to the Bluetooth interface, it remains possible for both elements to communicate with each other. The NTT Docomo F-04B is expected around March-April 2010, and for those who are into traveling: it is on sale in Japan. The NTT F-04B 3G camera phone belongs to the Docomo PRIME series, which stands for an optimal multimedia experience.

NTT Docomo waterproof phone

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:10:00 GMT

The PRIME series Docomo mobile phones, will be expanded with a new cameraphone in the first quarter of 2010. The NTT Docomo F-01B is a waterproof mobile phone with a high resolution image sensor of 12.2 Megapixels. So even in Japan, where this model will without question be found on the store shelves, they prove susceptible to marketing slogans such as highest resolution. This resolution for a mobile phone is simply absurd, at least with the current technology and application level, however, it does sound great as a specification. The new NTT F-01B waterproof phone will be available in several colors; black, blue and white.

Samsung C6112 Dual SIM phone

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:20:00 GMT

According to several sources, Samsung Mobile will soon introduce a new, so-called DUAL-SIM phone. The Samsung C6112 is such a Dual SIM cell phone, and is expected to be introduced this year just in time for the holiday season. It is currently not yet clear as to which region the Samsung C6112 is meant for. A DUAL-SIM phone is particularly useful for those who want to keep their corporate and private calls separated, yet don't want to walk around with two different cell phones. It is also convenient to use the second SIM for a local provider if you spend a lot of time abroad, in order to keep the costs of calls effectively low.

Samsung B5722 Dual SIM cell phone

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:15:00 GMT

As if Samsung has not yet added enough mobile phones to its range this year! We have come across a so-called dual-SIM cell phone; the Samsung B5722, of which it is not entirely clear where exactly it will be introduced. What is clear, however, is that the Samsung B5722 cell phone is scheduled for December, just before the holiday season. According to several sources, the Samsung B5722 is a touchscreen cell phone with extremely small dimensions for a dual-SIM phone; 104x54.9x14.4 mm. The Samsung Dual SIM cell phone supports GPRS and EDGE, and is equipped with a 2.8-inch LCD screen with a fairly average 320x240 pixels for reproduction.

New Apple iPhone?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:40:00 GMT

Apple is booming: whether it's an iPod MP3 player or an iMac computer, each Apple product is bit mystical. Such is the Apple iPhone, which is in fact just a regular cell phone. Only the rumor that they are working on a basic model iPhone, the iPhone 3Gs 8GB, is stirring things up again. It must be the fault of the Android mobile phone, which is coming from a manufacturer whose existence often appears to be hanging on a thin thread. The Motorola MILESTONE Android phone, or otherwise known as the Motorola DROID, could create fierce competition, especially in the lowest segment of today’s mobile phone market.

Garmin Android smartphone

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:30:00 GMT

During a Q3 2009 business results presentation, Garmin revealed plans for a Garmin Android smartphone. The Business Update was presented by Cliff Pemble, President and COO of Garmin. In the update, it became apparent that Garmin is keen on the Google Android operating system. With the announcement that Garmin is going to focus on Android, it seems that Garmin has taken a clear decision to consider Android as an open source system. The Android Software Operating System is actually a competitor for Garmin’s own operating system, but given the speed with which the Android hype has taken over the market, it is not unwise for them to join the bandwagon as well.

iPhone 4G

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:12:00 GMT

The Apple iPhone 3GS has only recently become available, but the first rumors about a new iPhone (iPhone 4G?) are already flooding the internet. According to the rumors and a well-informed source, according to himself, Apple is testing a prototype iPhone with built-in RFID reader. For those not familiar with RFID; this is a technology to store and read information from a distance of so-called RFID tags, which are found in or on objects. In practice, you come across these on a daily base in the form of detection gates in shops. But why would an Apple iPhone 4G be equipped with RFID, and what could a possible functionality of RFID be?

Mobistar interested in KPN Belgium

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:31:00 GMT

Information is circulating about the possible partial departure of KPN from Belgium. The companies in question are Versatum Belgium, together with Tele2 Belgium NV., which were purchased by KPN Mobile International NV in 2007. That purchase involved 95 million Euros on a debt and cash-free basis. The goal of the purchase was to expand the regional distribution range of KPN's mobile daughter company BASE in Belgium, and of course to generate profit growth. Fingers are pointed at the culprit monopolist Belgacom. Belgacom’s dominant market position makes it nearly impossible for other companies, such as KPN, to make their investments viable.

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:15:00 GMT

If you're looking for a new mobile phone these days, you have to make your way through a huge stack of phones. One even more beautiful than the next, although it is not only the design that makes the difference. What to think about the different operating systems that the phones run on? It's beyond comprehensibility for the average person, and even if you are skilled enough to know the difference between phone A and B, you are then confronted with model names. Quite suddenly, a new LG touchscreen phone has made its appearance, the LG KM555E. Whether or not this model will actually be launched under this name, or under a different name, remains a mystery for now.

Verizon Saygus Android phone

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:43:00 GMT

Quite a number of Android phones are in the pipeline. Also at Verizon; last month’s rumor had it, that a new Android mobile phone would be included in Verizon's range of phones. Yet this time, no famous phone brand would be involved, but instead, it would be one of the small players in the communications market. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) leaked information about a Saygus VPhone V1. Our initial reaction, imagining it to be a simple phone, seems logical, however, the cell phone specifications are quite considerable for this unknown Android phone. The question as to whether Verizon will fully adopt Android, still remains unanswered.

Demand for navigation features

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:49:00 GMT

As GPS navigation becomes more accessible with the increase of mobile phone based navigation systems, US consumers overwhelmingly see Point-of-Interest (POI) search as the only other feature they need, according to “PND Owners Unlikely to Discontinue Using Their GPS handheld,” from the Strategy Analytics Automotive Consumer Insights (ACI) service. Almost three-quarters of navigation consumers in the United States insist on the GPS navigation system feature. Sixty-two percent of navigation consumers in the United Kingdom agreed. However, for 87% of French consumers, the speed camera warning feature is the top priority, and German purchasers require real-time traffic information.

Cheap Smartphones on their way

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:55:00 GMT

Smartphone prices are falling as shipment volumes increase, and a new study from ABI Research finds that while in 2007 only 18% of smartphones on offer cost under $200 retail price, that percentage has already grown to 27% this year. By 2014, say the firm’s forecasts, 45% of the smartphones shipped that year will be priced below $200. These numbers highlight a rapid change in many consumers’ attitudes about smartphones, and a corresponding shift in vendors’ and mobile operators’ sales and marketing strategies. Prices will hold at a certain point, we may never see a $30 smartphone. But over time, smartphones will take a substantial part of the mainstream handset market.

We recently received new information that was leaked out about the Sony-Ericsson Kurara mobile phone. photos from the Sony-Ericsson Kurara now show an HD (High Definition) logo, so that we can assume that the Kurara handset is capable of taking video footage. It is actually absurd that such pictures are being circulated, as professional journalists are bound by a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and have to wait to publish until the official information is released. So their good behavior leaves them at the back of the line to distribute crumbs.... In any case, with the official information, the details about the new Sony-Ericsson Kurara handset will become clearer.

Dell Android smartphone

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:10:00 GMT

Manufacturers seem so Android-minded these days, that they actually get in each other's way simply because of their eagerness. One after the other, they all seem to have adopted the Google Android OS, which means we can soon expect a big stack of new Android phones. Some information was already floating around the Internet about Dell joining in on the Android race, and the most recent rumor indeed seems to indicate an imminent release of one or more Dell Android phones. The name is still ambiguous, although most likely, a Dell Streak Android mobile phone will become available on the U.S. market in combination with AT&T, and a Dell Mini 3iX on the Brazilian market.

Motorola MILESTONE

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:27:00 GMT

The interest in Motorola DROID is quite big, which is a real boost for the beleaguered Motorola, especially considering the fact the brand has trouble keeping its head above water. To keep things 'transparent', the DROID phone will also be released under a different name. For example; Vodafone and O2 in Germany offer the Motorola MILESTONE, which is indeed a DROID clone. The Motorola MILESTONE is an Android 2.0-based slider phone which is supposed to lift the Mobile Internet experience to an entirely new level. This all sounds great, although we're yet to find out whether this is actually the case in practice, too. However, the Motorola MILESTONE specifications sure look good.

HTC Droid Eris Smartphone

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:04:00 GMT

Nokia review : N86 8MP

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:30:00 GMT

The Finnish phone manufacturer Nokia uses special types of operating systems for the different categories of their mobile phones. Besides the standard S40 software, the smartphones run on Symbian; a well-known operating system which also goes by the name of S60. Symbian was developed by a joint venture between Nokia and several other phone manufacturers. At the beginning of 2008, Nokia bought out the other participants and became the sole shareholder, which implies Nokia wants to get more out of the Symbian system. The Nokia N86 makes also use of Symbian S60.

Google navigation

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT

Garmin and TomTom had better beware now that Google focuses on developing its own Google navigation. Google is likely to expand its existing Google Maps application with its own navigation software. It is more than likely that this mobile navigation application will be available for free. The shareholders club of recognized GPS navigation manufacturers will certainly not be amused, to put it mildly. Google has already been investing in Maps for several years, and besides that, it provides Google Latitude; a relatively new service to locate GPS individuals on Maps. In combination with Google Ads, Google navigation is bound to become a big business success!

Android 2 Smartphones

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:28:00 GMT

Android 2.0 is hot. That is to say; the news about this platform is overwhelming. The first Android-based phones came from Motorola, HTC and Samsung. Android 2 is the most recent version of the popular operating system. The upcoming period is expected to bring us more Android Smartphones. It's common knowledge that HTC is one of the manufacturers developing more than one Android Smartphone based on version 2.0. Unfortunately, dates of when these first HTC Android Smartphones are expected, are not yet known to us. Nor is it clear if current HTC mobile phones can be upgraded to Android 2.0.

Apple iTablet

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:40:00 GMT

Did New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller speak too soon? With each and every day, the rumors about a new Apple product being launched soon seem to become stronger; the Apple Tablet. Biller Keller briefly mentioned the so-called Apple Slate during a private meeting. The Apple Slate is supposed to be a tablet that enables reading content such as newspapers. Undoubtedly Apple's refined touch technology will be integrated in the Apple Tablet. The goal of the NY times meeting was a presentation about the future of the New York Times as a newspaper in the digital era. And Apple seems to be involved in this.

Sony-Ericsson Kurara

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:45:00 GMT

Has Sony-Ericsson become completely careless, or is it an new intentional strategy to leak product information? If the leaking carries on like this, there simply won't be any mobile phones left to introduce during the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. As of this year, Sony-Ericsson no longer uses names like Cybershot or Walkman; instead more exotic names pop up, such as Satio. We have now come across the Sony Ericsson Kurara, which is supposedly a Symbian S60 5th generation OS Smartphone. At this time, the Sony Ericsson Kurara specifications are still scarce, although it's expected to be a full-touch Sony-Ericsson Symbian phone featuring a large display and an 8 Megapixel camera.

Sony-Ericsson Xperia Smartphone

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:05:00 GMT

I am appalled, I can't find a better word to express myself. What's the use of press spokesmen, press events and all sorts of seemingly official introductions, when the information itself is left loose on the Internet? Take for example the Sony Ericsson Xperia 3, a phone based on the Google Android OS. Officially, the Sony Ericsson Android Smartphone does not yet even exist, however, several pictures of the Xperia 3 can already be found, including several phone specifications. Sony Ericsson just doesn't seem capable of keeping product information away from the Net, while at the same time, journalists are expected to keep their mouths shut because of an NDA. Who's the fool here?

Sony Ereader review

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:45:00 GMT

Digital reading being the new way of reading is pretty much a fact by now. We simply can't get around it, since there are thousands of digital copies being sold on Bol.com, while at the same time we witness an increasing amount of E-readers. Sony and Bol.com have set their heart on digital reading, and are hoping for an actual reading evolution. Digital books have been available for quite a while now on various websites, and also Bol.com offers digital books in the ePub format that is perfect to read on the Sony E-readers.

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:23:00 GMT

The Samsung i8910, also known as Samsung Omnia HD, is the world's first mobile phone enabling video capture and play-back in High Definition. Video capture is becoming increasingly popular, not only in a digital camera or traditional camcorder, but also, more and more often High Definition video is enabled by a mobile phone. The Samsung GT-i8910 may be the first, however, the latest news regarding the availability of a new OMAP 4 (in 2010 available) platform will make it possible to integrate 1080p High Definition video standard in a cell phone.

Sony-Ericsson W995 picture gallery

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:20:00 GMT

The Sony Ericsson W995 is a true multimedia phone, excellent when it comes to audio, in particular when the SE W995 is used combined with the PlayNow service of Sony Ericsson. However, the W995 is not a so-called Walkman phone, it has other powerful features such as the 8 Megapixel autofocus digital camera with several functionalities; for example, face detection, macro, exposure metering etc.

Nokia N86 picture gallery

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:00:00 GMT

The Nokia N86 smartphone has been available for a while now. The Nokia N86 features an 8 Megapixel sensor and a digital zoom function. The fact that there are only very few camera phones that feature an optical zoom, can be called remarkable. This undoubtedly has to do with the design of a new (internal) zoom lens and all the related hindrances that occur when integrating it into the phone whilst at the same time ensuring it doesn’t become too bulky.

Samsung i7500 review

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:30:00 GMT

Times may be hard for global economy, Samsung clearly doesn't care. Where many companies have gone into what I would almost call; 'sleep mode', Samsung seems to carry on at the same speed as they are used to. Samsung is the first manufacturer after HTC, to launch a mobile phone on the market, based on the Google Android operating system. With only a slight delay compared to HTC, Samsung is still the early bird. The bright AMOLED touchscreen monitor and the LED flash are unique features compared to previous Android mobile phones.
