Touch Mobile Phones

BlackBerry Storm

2015-05-23T08:37:00.002-07:00

RIM’s mondo hype generating debut BlackBerry touch phone, the Storm, is a curious beast. Instead of trying to match the every multi-touch move of the pioneering iPhone like its ticklish rivals, the LG Renoir, Samsung M8800 Pixon and T-Mobile G1, this smartphone has taken its own unique path to touch glory. The boys in the BlackBerry labs have conjured the first ever clickable touch sensitive screen.

Clickable touchscreen? It just doesn’t sound right. Perhaps RIM is trying to appease a generation of phone punters weaned on a mechanised world and are hesitant to join this new touchie-feely revolution. But, whatever the reason, this unorthodox approach actually plays out rather intuitively.
The Storm lets you gleefully trace your pinkie over the expansive and stunning 3.25 touchscreen without fear of provoking a reaction. It’s not until you press down on your highlighted selection and feel the click that action is taken. Like Marmite, you’ll either love or loathe the reassuring physical response.
Unfortunately, there is occasional processor lag that slows the Storm down but we’re assured this glitch has been remedied with a firmware upgrade. And if messengers are concerned about typing on this new-fangled touchscreen, don’t be - the virtual QWERTY and SureType keypads are great for efficiently tapping out those long emails.
With such a capacious screen central to operation, the Storm unsurprisingly hangs out with rival king-size ticklers like the HTC Touch HD and the T-Mobile G1. It’s certainly going to fill the trouser pouch.
But while it may be a smartphone heavyweight in size, the Storm, is bit of lightweight in the connectivity department. RIM has, bizarrely, taken Wi-Fi off the menu. Pressure from the data hungry networks? May be, but at least you have 7.2Mbps-flavoured HSPDA fall back on for web browsing and download duties.
You could argue the absence of Wi-Fi affects the Storm’s top table smartphone status but with built-in GPS for sat nav, an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack and an Application Centre for app downloads, the Storm just about qualifies. Although, the autofocus-led 3.2-megapixel snapper is disappointingly average.
Verdict
The clickable touchscreen may lack the grace of other rival touch phones and but it’s still a user-friendly tickler that will attract CrackBerry fans in their droves, even despite some glaring feature omissions.

The Taiwanese company, which makes a number of very popular smartphones including several Android OS models, is feeling the impact of an administrative law judge's initial ruling for the U.S. International Trade Commission last week, which found HTC in violation of two of Apple's patents. HTC's stock in retreated more than 4 percent on the Taiwan Stock Exchange to its lowest level in six months, Bloomberg reported today.

While an administrative law judge's initial decision doesn't represent a death blow, it doesn't bode well for the final decision. If the six-member ITC panel agrees with the judge's decision, it could impose an embargo preventing the importation of HTC smartphones.

HTC has vowed to fight the decision and plans to appeal before a final ruling is made.
When the judge's ruling was made public last week, Apple responded by referring back to its initial statement in March 2010 when the first complaint was filed.

"We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in the release at the time.

Giving HTC some hope is its recent decision to acquire S3 Graphics for $300 million. S3 holds crucial patents that an ITC administrative law judge had determined in an initial ruling that Apple was violating.

While investors initially lambasted HTC's decision to acquire S3--criticizing the fact that HTC Chairwoman Cher Wang was a shareholder in S3--the patents will be invaluable if the ITC decides to favor Apple.
Foss Patents, a software patent blog, has an interesting--if somewhat complex--graphic illustrating HTC and Apple's respective patent positions.

In positions where both companies own valuable intellectual property, a settlement is typically reached, especially if the threat of an embargo hangs over one of the companies. But Foss' Florian Miller said he doesn't see a settlement as a foregone conclusion. Unless Apple truly needs all of HTC's patents, it may attempt to enforce the embargo, which would greatly hurt the progress of HTC and all Android supporters.

Upcoming Nokia Moible Phone 2012

Upcoming Nokia Moible Phone 2012

^{The Nokia 808 PureView is a Symbian Belle powered smartphone, first unveiled on 27 February 2012 at the Mobile World Congress. It is the first smartphone to feature 41 megapixel oversampling 1/1.2" sensor and a high resolution f/2.4 Zeiss all-aspherical 1-group lens. See examples.[1]

The 808 won the award for "Best New Mobile Handset, Device or Tablet" at Mobile World Congress 2012[2], and the award for Best Imaging Innovation for 2012 from the Technical Image Press Association[3].

The 808 will be first released in select countries in May 2012.[4] [5]}

^{Pureview Pro camera}

^{PureView Pro is an imaging technology used in the Nokia 808 PureView device. It is the combination of a 1/1.2" large,[6] very high resolution 41Mpix with high performance Carl Zeiss optics. The large sensor enables pixel oversampling, which means the combination of many pixels into one better pixel. PureView imaging technology delivers high image quality, lossless zoom, and improved low light performance (see below). It dispenses with the usual scaling/interpolation model of digital zoom used in virtually all smartphones, as well as optical zoom used in most digital cameras, where a series of lens elements moves back and forth to vary the magnification and field of view. Instead, it will give around 3x lossless zoom for stills, and 4x zoom in full HD 1080p, for 720p HD video, 6x lossless zoom and for nHD (640x360) video, 12x zoom.}

^{PureView Pro specifications}

^{Sensor: 41 megapixel CMOS image sensor, 1/1.2" image sensor format with 7728 x 5368 pixels, pixel size: 1.4 microns.
    Lens: Carl Zeiss optics with F-number: f/2.4. Focal length: 8.02mm: 35mm equivalent focal length: 26mm @ 16:9 and 28mm @ 4:3. Construction: 5 elements in 1 group. All lens surfaces are aspherical, partly extreme aspheric,[7] one high refractive index, low-dispersion glass mould lens.
    Focus range: 15 cm – Infinity (throughout the zoom range).
    Shutter: Mechanical shutter with short shutter lag[8] and ND8 (3 f-stops) neutral density filter
    Processing: On-chip image processor performing image scaling with oversampling, giving lossless (digital) zoom: 3x for stills, 4x for full HD 1080p video with on-chip video processor performing image resolution processing with over 1 billion pixels per second[8] enabling the use of all pixels for improved image noise and dynamic range}

^{Image sensor}

^{PureView Pro sensor has an active area of 7728 x 5368 pixels, totalling over 41Mpix. Depending on the aspect ratio chosen by the user, it will use 7728 x 4354 pixels for 16:9 images/videos, or 7152 x 5368 pixels for 4:3 images/videos. What happens next depends on the settings and whether or not zoom is used. But to give an idea, the default still image setting is 5Mpix at 16:9, and for video, 1080p at 30fps. Using these settings, the zoom is around 3x for stills and 4x for video. Conventional digital zoom tends to scale up images from a relatively low resolution, resulting in poor image quality.

The image sensor is capable not only of delivering parts of its pixels, but of down- or oversampling its resolution by having its own on-chip image processor, highly reducing external processing needs and data rates as well as image noise (see noise shaping) when lower resolutions (or HD video) are needed. Additionally this provides very high image resolution. Images up to 38 megapixels can be taken at full resolution at 4:3 aspect ratio and 34 megapixels at 16:9 ratio. The PureView is a pixel oversampling technology used by Nokia that converts an image taken at full resolution into 3, 5 or 8 megapixels to reduce noise in the image.[9][10]}

^Lens

^{The optic is a 1-group lens, which is based on a shiftable fixed-focus lens: similar to the highly regarded prime lenses in most Zeiss Planar or Tessar optics, focus is achieved by varying the distance to the image sensor (unit focusing lens). This construction has the advantage that no movable focus group is needed. Considerable movable (focus-range) lens groups need a minimum of one additional adaptive lens element in both the moved group and the stationary group, increasing the number of elements by at least two. This increases unwanted reflections as well as overall tolerances and therefore decreases sharpness.

A 1-group lens has a fixed aperture, further increasing the freedom of lens element arrangement and allowing the designer to optimize the lens to only one f-stop. The lens consists of only 1 group of elements, which gives a highly stable, precise mechanical alignment. The lenses are partly made of plastic, which provides sufficient stability at this size and as a 1-group lens and has the significant advantage of making it possible to use extreme aspheric shaped lens elements.[7]

5 all-aspherical lens elements are used, making it possible to increase border-sharpness and lower distortion and astigmatism. The high refractive index, low-dispersion glass additionally helps reduce chromatic aberrations. A neutral density filter with approximately ND8 (3 f-stops) is employed for shooting in high light levels where normally a smaller aperture would be set. Although the lens is named a Vario-Tessar, it has almost nothing in common with the 4 element in 3 group, non-aspherical original Tessar.

Due to the comparatively large image sensor format of 1/1.2" and the comparatively fast lens with f/2.4, the camera has a quite shallow depth of field of equivalent to approximately f/7.8 at 26mm[11] on full-frame 35mm full-frame.}

^Zoom

^{Zoom is digital but retains a high resolution due to the 41Mp sensor. The limit of the zoom is reached when the selected output resolution becomes the same as the input resolution. That means once the area of the sensor reaches 3072 x 1728, the zoom limit is reached. So the zoom is always provides the true image resolution the user wants. The level of pixel oversampling is highest when zoom is not used. It gradually decreases until the maximum zoom is hit, where there is no oversampling. At this stage, PureView Pro optics and pixels start behaving in a more conventional way. But because only the centre of the optics is used, the best optical performance is achieved – including low distortion, no vignetting and highest levels of resolved detail. This also means that at full digital zoom, the noise reduction achieved by oversampling (pixel binning) is lost as no oversampling happens at full zoom.}

^Autofocus

^{PureView Pro features continuous auto focus in all shooting modes, close-up (Macro) focus, Face detection, Touch focus with easy manually selected focus point and Hyperfocal distance focus for defined depth of field, for extreme focus speed or when no reliable focus is possible due to darkness.}

^Video

^{The on-chip oversampling image processor of PureView Pro enables oversampling of all 38Mega-pixels even at the high video data rates of 1080p with 30 fps. Full HD 1080p gives 4x zoom; 720p HD video, 6x lossless zoom; and for nHD (640x360) video, 12x zoom. In addition, encoding is up to 25Mbps in 1080p H.264/MPEG-4 HD video format. The PureView Pro sensor integrates a special video processor that handles pixel scaling before sending the required number to the main image processor.}

^Audio

^{The 808 PureView employs Dolby Headphone software to transform stereo content to surround via 3.5mm A/V jack. It also includes Dolby Digital Plus software to provide 5.1 surround sound via HDMI or DLNA. The dual softwares from Dolby are embedded into the Nokia Belle feature pack 1 OS.

The 808 PureView is the first device to include the Nokia Rich Recording technology and has a frequency range between 25 Hz to around 19 KHz. The 808 PureView can capture sounds at the loudness level of 145 decibels without distortion. The two microphones, located at the top and the bottom enable stereo recording. The audio encoding is done in AAC high profile, 256 kbps, 48000 Hz.}

Nokia launches the 700 with Symbian Belle, says its the smallest smartphone in the world

2015-05-04T20:32:00.000-07:00

To go along with the announcement of the new Symbian Belle operating system, Nokia has launched some new smartphones that make use of it. The Nokia 700 is said to be the smallest slate-style smartphone on the market, yet it still has some of the higher-end specs that one would expect to see on a larger smartphone.
The diminutive 700 measures only 110mm x 50.7mm x 9.7mm (4.3in x 2in x 0.38in) and weighs a scant 96g (3.39oz). It is powered by a 1GHz processor and has GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi support, plus an FM radio. It has a 5 megapixel "full focus" camera with LED flash and 720p (1280 x 720 pixel)

HD video capture, and comes equipped with 2GB of internal memory to store your images. You can expand the memory with microSD cards up to 32GB in capacity. The Nokia 700 sports a pentaband cellular radio, and its 1080mAh battery is claimed to offer 7 hours of talk time or over 19 days of standby time.

The 3.2-inch display on the 700 is a ClearBlack AMOLED unit, with nHD (360 x 640 pixel) resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass. The 700 also features deep NFC capabilities, thanks to the Symbian Belle operating system. Nokia claims that the 700 is the greenest smartphone that it has produced to date, as it is free of PVC, RFR, and BFR, and is 100 percent recyclable.

The Nokia 700 will come in cool grey, silver/white, coral red, peacock blue, and purple color options, and will arrive in the third quarter. It is expected to retail for 270 EUR (US$390).

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 taking on the Kindle Fire

2015-04-28T18:00:00.000-07:00

Samsung Galaxy Tab

Summary

Until Amazon's Kindle Fire hit the market late last year, no Android-powered tablet had made even the smallest of impacts on the marketplace. With its $199.99 price tag and customized user interface, the Kindle Fire was a real success.

Samsung is now aiming to grab a significant piece of that success by building its own low-cost Android tablet. The catch is that Samsung's new entry, the Galaxy Tab

2 7.0, looks anything but low-cost. In fact, it features a much better spec sheet than the Kindle Fire, and uses the same streamlined body design as its more expensive brethren.

With a price of $249.99 for the Wi-Fi-only model, the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is an instant best buy. And when you consider that it is one of the few devices on the market to offer Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as its operating system, it's even more of a steal.

Call Quality /Battery Life

A strange thing happened during our phone calls on the LG Optimus T, and that was the existence of some noise, white noise. It was not a big mistake, and we were still able to hear loud and clear, but the overlapping white noise was a bit repulsive. This was one of the few arenas in which we prefer the BlackBerry Curve 3G. One nice thing about the LG Optimus T, that it is appointed to a position WiFi, but that was not on our test unit, waiting to make an update that function possible.
Battery life was not as impressive as the Curve 3G, but of course the Optimus T has much more screen-related measures breathable. The Optimus T was still a decent battery life, lasting the day with around 40% battery life at the end.

Image/ Video Quality

Like the BlackBerry Curve 3G, the LG Optimus T has to offer not much in the way of digital image processing. We get a 3.2-megapixel camera without flash or camera button. The LG Optimus T 3G wins over the curve in the camera department, however, based on its video performance and camera interface.

First of all, we get Android suite of camera controls that apply to us exposure, white balance can be adjusted, as negative and solarization filter, focus, and much more. We also shoot 640×480 video resolution in a larger, compared with the curves 3G 320×240 resolution max.

Images were a little too much in-camera sharpening, but the color was more natural and less noise when compared to the Curve 3G. The LG Optimus T, was, despite its lack of a flash is not an unpleasant amount of noise in low light, even if it exposes difficulties with such a small sensor had. Videos were the same, and we decided to shoot in night mode have no chance we get. For a beginner-phone, the LG Optimus T was not too shabby in digital imaging, but it is still at the base of the totem pole.

Sony announces Xperia sola smartphone with "floating touch" technology

2015-04-10T17:57:00.000-07:00

Sony Xperia sola

Sony has taken the wraps off of the sola, the latest smartphone in its Xperia line. From the outside, the Xperia sola appears to be your run-of-the-mill slab-style Android smartphone, but Sony was able to pack some new technology into the touchscreen that is designed to make it easier to navigate the web.
This new technology is called "floating touch," and it allows a user to hover their finger over the display to move what is akin to an invisible mouse cursor and then merely tap the screen once the desired link is highlighted. The sola is the first smartphone to use this new tech, but Sony says that it plans to bring it to other models in the future. The screen itself is a 3.7-inch, Reality Display powered by Sony's Mobile Bravia Engine with 854 x 480 pixels of resolution.

The sola is powered by a dual-core, 1GHz processor and it includes support for NFC, DLNA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. There is a 5 megapixel rear camera with 720p HD video recording,
though the sola appears to lack a front-facing camera. The phone measures 116mm x 59mm x 9.9mm (4.56in x 2.32in x 0.39in) and weighs 107g (3.77oz). Sony says that it will get about 5 hours of talk time or just under 20 days of standby with its included 1,320mAh battery.
The Xperia sola will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sony's custom user interface when it launches. Sony says that an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is in the works for a summer 2012 release.
Sony plans to offer the Xperia sola in black, red, and white color options, and will launch it globally in Q2 of this year. Pricing information has yet to be announced. For a closer look, check out the videos below that show of the Xperia sola's new floating touch technology.

It runs Android 2.2, but it can be updated to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It supports an LTE 4G connection through Verizon. It has a 5 megapixel camera, which is nothing special in and of itself. But it stands out in the fact that it can record 720p HD video. Now that’s quite an accomplishment for a phone like that.

It has 16GB internal memory storage, but this can be expanded with microSD cards. The 1.3 megapixel front camera can be used for video calling. The 4.3” touch screen display makes it one of the biggest display phones out there, right on par with the Galaxy S2 and the Sensation.

It runs a 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8655 processor. That means no dual core. And this is why LG’s Revolution smartphone doesn’t quite make it into the high end category. Everybody knows dual cores have smoother interface responses.

HTC One X Codes

HTC One X

When HTC launched the HTC One X at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, U.S. consumers were very disappointed to hear that the version of the device heading to AT&T in the U.S. would have to give up its quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor in order to gain LTE support.

It turns out, though, that NVIDIA's LTE woes worked out in the U.S. market's favor - and in a big way. The dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor that is in the AT&T One X is flat out better. It's faster in most all benchmarks, runs cooler, and offers better battery life.

Wipe away those tears, geek-boy. This One X is even better than the European version I reviewed a short while ago, which pretty much makes it the best high-end smartphone available on the market today. Or May 6, when AT&T makes it available for purchase for $199.99.

Check out the video below comparing the AT&T HTC One X (also known as the One XL in global markets) with the original HTC One X for Europe for more proof.

Navigation /Internet

Like most other Android phones offered by LG T Optimus its stately Google services like Gmail, Maps, Talk, Voice Search, High Quality YouTube, and full contact synchronization. Not only that, but the LG Optimus T allows us to Google, Twitter, Facebook and contacts so that they all appeared in our list combine. We have a Facebook widget, that updates are transmitted, and talks about widgets, a nice small group of pre-installed widgets that could be added to Android one of Optimus T 5 home screens. The Android Market was also present, and the Optimus T presented Swype technology that allows us to accelerate the process SMS.

Now, even though the LG Optimus T shares much with other high-end Android phones on the market, it is worth noting that this is more of a barebones spread of features. There is not a social networking hub dedicated nature of the application or widget that brings together all accounts in a unique live feed, and work around the LG can not Optimus T advanced graphics for games. Also be prepared for a drop in speed from the pros in the game as the Motorola or Samsung Droid X Captivate. The LG Optimus T is a slow, Internet browser on his sweet, jerky time to zoom in and scroll to the sides at a rate of Gloop. There is still much higher than the BlackBerry Curve molasses 3G browsing and the Optimus T is a lot of beginners in the Internet realm to fulfill. But do not expect a lighting-fast Android phone. It is mediocre in terms of speed.

The runners up were no less awesome. The Premium won second place, with a 3D interface, that hooks on to a car for a full fledged infotainment system and car-info system. Dua Xiong won the Prop Mater’s Choice Award for the Flutter, a fan-like smartphone that opens up to display a OLED touch screen. This phone will feature in a future film too! The Atlas phone grabbed attention too, with a dock featuring a tracking system which senses hand gestures and projecting the pages. Yet another phone design to look out for was the Surface, a watch phone with a Braille-like design system. Future phones are all set to be technological design marvels.

Sony Xperia S

2015-04-06T07:28:00.000-07:00

Why? It’s a PlayStation certified yet powerful smartphone with 1.5GHz dual-core processor. It brings a 4.3 inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD Reality display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine and runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS which can be upgradable to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) in Q2 2012. Furthermore, the smartphone has a 12MP camera with LED flash, FM radio with RDS, NFC, DLNA,

HDMI, WiFi, aGPS and BRAVIA Sync that help to control your Xperia S with your TV remote control.
For your kind information the Xperia S was announced at CES 2012 and held the title of first Android phone under Sony brand. It’s now available for pre-order in UK at Clove (online retailer). Clove UK will be offering it for 389.99 GPB (467.99 GBP inc. VAT) and expected to ship in early March.

Sony Xperia has soon launched a headset for new mobile TV headset. There are some of the main features with the Sony Xperia mobile TV headset.

Sprint launches eco-friendly LG Optimus Elite smartphone

2015-04-02T18:07:00.000-07:00

LG Optimus Elite smartphone

Sprint has announced the LG Optimus Elite, the latest smartphone from the carrier to feature eco-friendly design and construction. The Optimus Elite is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone with a 3.5-inch display and support for Sprint's 3G network.

The Optimus Elite is an entry-level smartphone, and it has the price and specs to match. It's powered by a single-core 800MHz processor and has a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, but lacks a front-facing camera. The Optimus Elite does have NFC capabilities, and it supports the Google Wallet mobile payment service out of the box.

As with Sprint's other eco-friendly smartphones, the Optimus Elite is constructed of 50 percent recycled plastics, is free from hazardous materials like PVC, phthalates, halogens, and mercury, and comes in fully recyclable packaging printed with soy inks.

The LG Optimus Elite will be available from Sprint on April 22 for $29.99 with a new two-year contract. Buyers will be able to choose between white or silver versions. It will also be available from Sprint's pre-paid Virgin Mobile brand in the near future, but pricing and an exact release date have not yet been announced for the Virgin Mobile edition.

LG has planned to hold the competition to get the best future technology mobile. LG is one leading company so they have very strong criteria for there best mobile phone technology the company said about there requirements they are looking for a cool new concept or big idea supported by usage scenario illustration.
43 entries will pick as finalist and then 3 high price winner would as first $20000, second 10000 and third price winner. This competition is also known as American idol phone finally LG will come with the newest idol cellphone design just wait for the grate technology.

The processor is a 1GHz single core Snapdragon CPU. We can clearly tell the difference between single core and dual core user interface responsiveness. No single core smartphone comes close to the user friendly experience of any dual core smartphone. But still, the LG Revolution responds fairly quickly. There isn’t at all that much bloatware installed on it.

There is a 1500mAh battery under the Revolution’s hood. The battery life certainly isn’t bad. Your phone will easily last a few days, even when you use it on a frequent basis.

It is too bad that the Revolution is running Android 2.2, which is now antique by software standards. LG has promised that a 2.3 update is quickly coming. We’re looking forward to it; it would do this phone a lot more justice.

LG Optimus 4X HD

2015-04-01T07:21:00.000-07:00

It’s yet another Quad core smartphone with incredible performance. It’s also claimed as the world’s only smartphone-sized 4-plus-1 core-toting. It’s featuring a 4.7-inch HD-IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display and runs on Android v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS. It will have the Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 processor with 4-PLUS-1 architecture that’s featuring four performance cores handling graphic intensive tasks, and paired with 16 GB onboard storage along with 1GB RAM. This Quad core smartphone from LG is now available for pre-order at Clove UK for £380 (£456 inc. VAT), which is expected to ship sometime in June.

Mobile phones of the future are all set to turn into technological marvels, if LG decides to put any of these designs into phone manufacturing that is. The company recently announced the winners of the 3rd Annual Design the Future Competition in which, participants set out to designs phones of the future. And they did come up with some pretty awesome designs to! Virginia Tech ID students, Zack Filbert, Chris Carpenter, James Connors, and Kees Luyendijk won the first place with their design.

The runners up were no less awesome. The Premium won second place, with a 3D interface, that hooks on to a car for a full fledged infotainment system and car-info system. Dua Xiong won the Prop Mater’s Choice Award for the Flutter, a fan-like smartphone that opens up to display a OLED touch screen. This phone will feature in a future film too! The Atlas phone grabbed attention too, with a dock featuring a tracking system which senses hand gestures and projecting the pages. Yet another phone design to look out for was the Surface, a watch phone with a Braille-like design system. Future phones are all set to be technological design marvels.

Damn I am in love and must say this has surly got to be better than the new G Phone coming out or is this the new Apple iPhone, what ever you think it just seems pretty similar too me but we do love the word mimic here.

The LG Touch consists of a few things really and one is that this mobile phone is small and lightweight handheld device and is indeed a revolution in the mobile phone world, it features dual LCD for quick view, web browsing, internet applications on a mobile phone for email and charging cradle with QWERTY keypad for easy shopping and e-mailing.

Nokia E6 adds touchscreen to QWERTY bar Eseries

2015-03-25T20:44:00.000-07:00

Nokia E6

Among the things announced at Nokia's press event today was the brand new Nokia E6. The E6 is a candybar style phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.46-inch touchscreen display. Nokia plans to modernize its business oriented smartphone lineup starting with the E6.
Composed of glass and stainless steel, the E6 builds on the heritage of Nokia's business smartphones such as the E71 and E72. The E6 measures 115.5mm x 59mm (4.5in x 2.3in) and is a svelte 10.5mm (0.4in) thick. It weighs a solid 133g (4.7oz). The highlight of the show is the full QWERTY keyboard lifted right off the older models and the new 2.46-inch touchscreen display.

The screen has a VGA resolution with 640 x 480 pixels, which should provide a very sharp picture at that screen size.

For media capture, the E6 sports an 8 megapixel, autofocus camera with dual-LED flash. It is capable of recording 720p HD video (1280 x 720 pixel) at 25 frames per second. There appears to be a front-facing camera as well. The E6 also has a Wi-Fi radio that supports 802.11b/g/n wireless connections, and the phone supports Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS, too. A 3.5 mm headphone jack supports both audio in and out and video output to a TV. The E6's 1500mAh battery is expected to offer up to 7.5 hours of talk time on 3G, or 31 days of standby time.

Running the whole show on the E6 is Nokia's newly announced version of Symbian called Anna. Anna will bring an updated, modernized look to Symbian with new icons, a refreshed user interface, improved web browsing, better text input, and an enhanced Ovi Maps application with better search and public transit routes. Symbian Anna will also add business oriented features such as hardware accelerated data encryption and full meeting request support.

The Nokia E6 supports 3G voice and data on any of 5 different frequency bands, including those used by T-Mobile USA and AT&T. It also supports quad-band GSM/EDGE 2G networks.

The Nokia E6 is expected to hit the market in the second quarter of 2011 at a to-be-announced price. It will be available in black, white, or silver color schemes. Take a look at the video below highlighting the features of the E6 by Nokia. Price in USD: $322

LG Optimus 3D Max

2015-03-23T07:29:00.000-07:00

Last but not the least; this 3D smartphone is one of the tough competitors in this list. It’s a powerful 3D smartphone and an international variant of the Optimus 3D Cube, having additional features as well. It features HD Converter to converts games and apps to HD resolution, 3D converter to convert 2D apps like Google Earth and Google Maps into 3D. It brings a 4.3-inch (800 x 400 pixels) capacitive touchscreen IPS display with LG 3D UI that protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 2. It’ll be powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core OMAP4430 processor and will be running on Android v2.3 Gingerbread OS, and get an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade shortly after release.

iPhone 5 Probably have 4.6-inch Retina Display

2015-03-12T05:24:00.000-07:00

We are miles away from the release of next Apple smartphone, but still we’re getting some juice rumors regarding the iPhone 5 in a regular interval. We just got news regarding the next iPhone from “Reuters” which is hard to believe. The international news agency is reported that, Apple Inc’s next iPhone will be coming with a sharper and bigger 4.6-inch “Retina” display and also quoted that it’s set to be released around the second quarter of this year, which is originally reported by a South Korean Maeil Business newspaper on Thursday.

Obviously it’s exciting to here news something like this regarding one of the most popular smartphone, but we can say it’s a pure rumor and sorry to say there are lot of doubts in my mind regarding it reality. Doubt in my mind because, a company as large and loyal as the one Apple can go for a drastic change like this. Can they switch its display size from a 3.5-inch to a 4.6-inch? Even more its major display suppliers LG Display and Samsung Electronics Co declined to comment.

But the reason behind we believe in it, Apple is also planning to change screen sizes for its tablets and laptops. In case you don’t know there was also news that, Apple is planning to release a smaller 7.85-inch iPad (current iPad have 9.7-inch screen) by the end of the year. Furthermore the company is also planning to release a 15-inch MacBook Air recently and wait also a 14-inch MacBook Air too (current MacBook Air have 11.6” & 13.3” screen). Well this is not the end, it also comes to know that they are preparing a notebook of that size to its line of super-slim computers.

It’s really surprise to hear, Apple will be releasing its next iPhone sometime in Q2 i.e. merely 9 months after the 4S announced. Even more the Holiday quarter release turned out to be very good for the iPhone 4S that scored record sales. But it seems quite impossible for a typical company like Apple, how they would kill their product within a very short of period by unveiling its successor in Q2.

It also comes to know that, the company is intent on creating a “nano-SIM” for the next iPhone. There are few other features comes around with rumor; it will support 4G LTE connectivity, powered by a quad-core A6 chip that expected to clock at around 1.2 to 1.5 GHz, it probably run on iOS v6.0, and more it also support NFC technology too.

If the rumor would true then the next iPhone will be a real headache for Samsung, which is currently turning out be a tough challenger to Apple in smartphones. They have lot of smartphone with 4.6-inch display e.g. its flagship Galaxy S II and they are also coming soon with its successor Galaxy S III. I’m really felling bad that I’m not pretty sure about the rumor regarding features, shape, size, technology and other about the iPhone 5. But you can feel free to share with me what you know about the next iPhone through the below comment option.

We need knowledge on how to take apart the iPhone. But not the whole thing!

Just the back cover, the antenna cover and the Metal frame!

Easy enough?

Remember, All we need to do is remove the cable latch of the Headphone wire, from the back ,metal cover. and the Metal chrome frame surrounding the screen.

1) Remove all 10 screws around the screen. don't lose em!

2) Remove the Frame.

3) Now that the glass is exposed, use a blunt knife, plastic or wooden reccomended. Or a plastic spudger, Carefully SCRAPE ! yes SCRAPE off the cracked parts.

4) Now, the glass is GLUED ON TO THE LCD SCREEN, Be very careful, you do not want to puncture the LCD. This is where the GOO GONE comes in. Spray a bit on the exposed surfaces under the crack, DON'T GET THE INSIDE OF THE PHONE WET, this included the cables, and the logic board, and the battery!

5) Repeat. (avoid touching the home button)

6) Eventually you'll be able to pull off the rest of the glass.

7) When Done. Carefully add some glue on to the edges of the LCD, making a rectangular kind of shape. Make sure you spread it evenly, cause there is no way back when you place it on.

8) Put a dot of glue on the Glass you bought.

9) Smear it on the black corners.

10) CAREFULLY MEASURE out WHERE IT goes! THE POSITION is VERY IMPORTANT. ( Note the HOME button is the key)

11) Glue it on and place it on , let it dry for a while , ( place it near the sun, but not directly, like near the window) for around 5-10 minutes

12) Okay , Now its time to reattach the frame, and screw it back on.

13) Reattach the ribbon cable on the headphones on the back cover.

14) Pop the frame back on, pop the black antenna cover back in and you're SET!!

Thanks for reading hope this helps.

Nokia 500 is the first 1GHz smartphone to come out of Espoo

2015-03-09T20:34:00.000-07:00

Despite all of its talk of Windows Phone, Nokia is still cranking out Symbian-powered smartphones, and the 500 is the latest handset to come out of the Finnish company's labs. Sporting a familiar slab design, the 500 is the first Nokia smartphone equipped with a 1GHz processor.
The 500 looks similar to the previously announced N9, though it has a smaller 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with a 640 x 360 pixel resolution. Nokia is positioning the 500

as a lower-cost alternative to the N9, and has equipped it with interchangeable back covers for easy personalization. The back houses a 5 megapixel camera with video capture.

Accompanying the 500's 1GHz processor is 2GB of internal storage and support for microSD cards up to 32GB in size. The 500 runs the latest Symbian OS, Anna, and includes Nokia Maps, social network integration, internet radio services, and an FM radio. It has pentaband HSPA 3G support on the 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz bands, so it has global appeal. The battery is an 1110mAh unit that provides up to 7 hours of talk time or 19 days of standby. The 500 measures 111.3mm x 53.8mm x 14.1mm (4.4in x 2.1in x 0.6in), and weighs 93g (3.28oz), the lightest of any Symbian^3 smartphone to date.

Nokia will be releasing a black version of the 500 in Q3 of this year, with a white version to follow in Q4. Both versions come with three different colored back plates in the box. Nokia expects the 500 to retail for just 150 EUR (US$216) before any taxes or subsidies when it hits the market. Take a look at the two videos below to see the 500 in action.

It's a remarkable piece of engineering ergonomically, as well. Cramming a full keyboard into a chassis this narrow is easily enough done, but making it usable is much more of a challenge. Nokia has achieved that and more with the E71: the keys, like the E61 before it, are slightly rubbery so your fingers don't slip off them when you're trying to type; they're slightly domed, so you can press one easily without hitting a neighbouring letter by accident; and the keyboard is blessed with a sensible layout too - important symbols such as the full stop, comma and @ characters are all accessible instantly, without the need to press shift - an ailment all too many other phone keypads are afflicted by.

The keyboard, then, is easily a match for the 8820's excellent offering, but how about the rest of the device? Well, there's no scrolling trackball, but the directional pad above the keyboard is easy to use and works well. If anything, the buttons for picking up and hanging up calls next to the pad are a little on the small side but they're easy to get used to. Combine those with the four well-sized shortcut keys and the pair of soft keys and overall you've got a very comprehensive control cluster.

Nokia unwraps sexy X7 smartphone with Symbian Anna OS update

2015-02-17T20:47:00.000-08:00

Nokia unwraps sexy X7

Nokia officially unwrapped its new X7 smartphone, the first device on the market to run the new Symbian Anna smartphone operating system update. The X7 features a bold new look that makes heavy use of stainless steel and glass. The 4-inch, 640 x 360 pixel AMOLED^(INFO) touchscreen display is protected by super strong Gorilla Glass, to ensure it can survive impacts as well as look good.

Nokia believes the X7 to be perfectly suited for mobile gaming, and to make its case it has included both Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD for free on the phone. Also on-board the X7 is a 720p HD capable, dual-LED 8 megapixel camera as well as support for Adobe Flash Lite 4 - to make sure the device stays entertaining.

As a Symbian Anna device, the X7 offers a few tweaks not seen on other Symbian smartphones. There's an updated home screen with new icons, a brand new, faster web browser, and a newly enhanced version of Ovi Maps that offers both driving and walking navigation for free. Another benefit of Symbian Anna is the addition of a portrait-mode QWERTY on-screen keyboard, as well as support for hardware encryption and better enterprise email security and meeting support.

The Nokia X7 features a micro-USB charging port and quick charger, and has a 3.5mm headphone jack for use with the music player or FM radio. Bluetooth 3.0 support also means that wireless stereo headphones can be used with the music player, when you wish to cut the cord. Software features on the X7 include the Nokia Email messaging client and new Web TV widgets for the Symbian home screen.

This new 5-band 3G HSPA smartphone (offering both AT&T and T-Mobile USA support) measures 119.7mm x 62.8mm x 11.9mm in size and weighs a solid 146g. The X7 can connect with 802.11b/g/n based Wi-Fi networks for data, and features an included 8GB microSD memory card for storage. A 1200mAh battery powers everything, and should be good for 9.5/4.5 hours of 2G/3G talk time or up to 18 days of standby time.

The Nokia X7 is expected to be available for purchase during Q2 of 2011 in light steel and dark steel colors. No pricing information has been supplied at this time.

This phone seems like a mix of couple of mobiles, such as if you closely look at Nokia’s most recent release Nokia C7, you will find a lot of similarity, which means, with this design, the over all theme of phone can be matched to C7 and make it look like a step up from a sequel, rest of the appeal and features look pretty much like Nokia 8800 Luna. RIght now, it might be in appropriate to even comment on the specifications of this mobile, as it is some concept phone by some random person, but it is safe to assume that, this smartphone might run on Meego or Symbian 3 and have a strong sleek camera with atleast 12 mega pixel, it could also have a very powerful processor, such as dual core or something! Well, time shall tell.

Sprint, HTC announce the EVO 4G LTE with 4.7-inch 720p display, HD Voice

2012-05-25T21:07:00.000-07:00

Sprint EVO 4G LTE

Sprint and HTC have just announced the EVO 4G LTE, the latest in Sprint's line of EVO Android smartphones. Like the HTC One X for AT&T that it shares much with, the EVO 4G LTE has a 4.7-inch, 720p HD display and 4G LTE support.

The EVO 4G LTE pretty much looks like a One X that has been "Sprint-ified," with its black finish and red accents. However, unlike the One X, which features a polycarbonate unibody, the EVO 4G LTE's rear is broken up by the flip-out kickstand. Unfortunately, the two piece metal and plastic body still does not provide access to the phone's internal battery, though it does offer access to a microSD card slot.
The battery itself is a large 2000mAh unit, but Sprint has not provided estimated talk or standby times for it.
Fortunately, the beautiful, 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 pixel Super LCD display that we loved so much on the One X is present, and the EVO 4G LTE also retains the 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera. The camera features a bright, f/2.0 aperture lens and backlit illuminated sensor for superior low light capabilities. The EVO 4G LTE also, unsurprisingly, has Beats Audio integration, a first for a Sprint device.
Powering the EVO 4G LTE is Qualcomm's dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. It is paired with 1GB of RAM and the EVO 4G LTE's 16GB of internal storage.

The EVO 4G LTE is the first smartphone in Sprint's lineup to support the carrier's new HD Voice service that promises to offer fuller, richer sounding voice calls with diminished background noise.
As with the other One series smartphones from HTC, the EVO 4G LTE runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC's new Sense 4.0 interface. Sense 4.0 offers an advanced camera interface that allows users to take full resolution pictures while recording full 1080p video. The HTC EVO 4G LTE will be available sometime in the second quarter for $199.99 with a new two-year contract. Anxious customers will be able to place a pre-order starting May 7.

Get Fully Functional Siri Without A Proxy Server or 4S Keys With AssistantServer Installer

2012-05-14T18:33:00.000-07:00

Fully Functional Siri

Do you want siri on your older device but don’t want to pay up to $30 for a proxy server? Well then you should try “Assistant Server Installer”. It only costs $0.99 on the MacCiti repo (a default repo unless you deleted it).

AssistantServer Installer uses Google‘s speech to text feature to detect what you are saying and then give a response. This isn’t the full siri and doesn’t have as many features but is still a really good alternative.

Setting it up:

1. Install Spire from cydia.

2. Enter the following address in the Spire settings: http://127.0.0.1:4443

3. Purchase and install AssistantServer Installer from the MacCiti repo.

4. Go to settings>SiriServer and enter your API keys or use the links at the bottom to get some

(The first 3 are the most important). Then tap the “Update API keys” button.

5. Enable Siri in Settings>General>Siri.
6. Set the language to either English (US) or German. The other ones don’t work at the moment.
7. Go back to the SiriServer settings and tap “Start Server” to enable the siri server.

8. Use siri!
9. If the siri doesn’t work at this point then go back to siri settings, disable siri, then go back to SiriServer settings and tap “Remove Assistant plist”. Then enable siri and it should work (do this until it works).

Remember to tap “Update Server” every few days to get the latest version of the siri server from GitHub.

This tweak doesn’t support all of siri’s features but it will work with all siri addons on cydia. The great thing with this is that it also works with siri’s dictation feature (works with all languages).

Overall this is a great alternative to siri and at $0.99 theres no doubt in my mind that you should buy it. But keeping the server running all the time may wear the battery down faster so if you want to avoid this issue then you can get a better version of the google API server here or buy access to a siri proxy server that will support all of siri’s features here.

Name: AssistantServer Installer
Price: $0.99
Repo: ZodTTD & MacCiti
Developer: sygex
My rating: 4.5/5

RIM launches the BlackBerry Curve 9320 complete with BBM key

2012-05-14T18:05:00.000-07:00

BlackBerry Curve 9320

RIM has taken the wraps off of the BlackBerry Curve 9320, a new entry-level BlackBerry 7.1 device.
The BlackBerry Curve 9320 looks very similar to earlier Curve smartphones, as it has a 2.44-inch QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) display situated above a QWERTY keyboard. The new hardware feature is a dedicated button on the left side of the device that launches RIM's BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) app for quick access to messaging services. RIM says this button makes it "incredibly easy for users to stay socially-connected."

Other specs include a 3.2 megapixel EDoF fixed-focus camera with LED flash and video recording capabilities,
a 1450mAh battery with a 7 hour expected talk time or 18 days of standby, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, and 512MB of internal storage. The Curve 9320 measures 109mm x 60mm x 12.7mm (4.29in x 2.36in x 0.5in) and weighs 103g (3.63oz).

The latest Curve smartphone also comes with BlackBerry 7.1 OS installed out of the box and support for Wi-Fi calling and mobile hotspot features. RIM has not yet announced pricing or availability for the new phone, but both T-Mobile UK and Three UK have announced that they will be ranging the phone for both prepaid and postpaid plans.

Verizon Wireless makes the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE official

2012-05-13T21:09:00.001-07:00

HTC DROID Incredible

Though we got a peek at it a few weeks ago when Verizon Wireless inadvertently put it on the DROID DOES website, Verizon has now officially announced the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE. The DROID Incredible 4G LTE is the first LTE^(INFO) smartphone in the Incredible line, and it borrows a lot, but not all, of the features of the HTC One S.
Sporting a 4-inch, qHD (540 x 960 pixel) Super LCD display, the DROID Incredible 4G LTE features the signature beveled backside that the Incredible and Incredible 2 also had. Under the hood, the Incredible 4G is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and 1GB of RAM. It comes with 8GB of internal storage, but it also has a microSD card slot that support cards up to 32GB in capacity for further expansion.

There is an 8 megapixel camera with a 28mm, f/2.2 lens and backside illuminated sensor on the back of the phone, while a VGA camera resides up front. Beats Audio is also built into the Incredible 4G LTE for thumping bass. The DROID Incredible 4G has a 1700mAh removable battery, and it measures 122mm x 61mm x 11.7mm (4.8in x 2.4in x 0.46in) and weighs 132g (4.66oz). The phone also features built-in NFC^(INFO) support.
The HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC's Sense 4.0 user interface on top. Verizon says that it will release the phone in the coming weeks, but it did not say what the price would be.

AT&T launches the Samsung Focus 2 Windows Phone smartphone

2012-05-13T21:07:00.001-07:00

Samsung Focus 2 Windows Phone

AT&T has announced the Samsung Focus 2, the first Windows Phone with support for 4G LTE to come from Samsung.
The Focus 2 is not a high-end smartphone like the Focus S from last year, but it is closer to the Focus Flash, which was an entry-level Windows Phone device. The Focus 2 features a 4-inch, WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) Super AMOLED^(INFO) display and runs Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango." As such, it offers all of the features one would expect from a Windows Phone smartphone,including Microsoft Office and SkyDrive integration - as well as Microsoft's slickly simple Metro user interface styling. Under the hood it has a 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor with 512MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. Inside is a 1750mAh battery.

The new Focus 2 features a 5 megapixel main camera that can record 720p HD video, and also comes equipped with a VGA-resolution forward-facing camera for self portraits and Skype video chatting. The mid-range Samsung Focus 2 measures a reasonable 10.98mm (.4in) thick and weighs 122g (4.3oz).
AT&T will offer the Samsung Focus 2 in white on May 20 for $49.99 with a new two-year contract.

LG announces the Optimus LTE2 with 2GB of RAM, TrueHD IPS display

2012-05-13T21:04:00.003-07:00

LG Optimus LTE2

The world may be swept up with the news of the Samsung Galaxy S III right now, but LG has something new up its sleeve as well. The Korean manufacturer has unveiled the new Optimus LTE2, a successor to the Optimus LTE released last year.
The new Optimus LTE2 features LG's TrueHD IPS display, which offers 1280 x 720 pixels of resolution and an RGB^(INFO) sub-pixel layout. It also features 2GB of RAM, a first for smartphones, but LG was mum on the processor inside. The LTE2 has a 2150mAh battery that LG claims will offer 40 percent better battery life than the original Optimus LTE (which, from our experience, was quite bad in the battery life department), and it supports WPC wireless charging with an accessory dock.

The LTE2 runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with LG's custom user interface and it is expected to be available in South Korea this month. A global roll-out has yet to be announced.

Samsung intros Omnia M Windows Phone smartphone for Europe

2012-05-13T21:02:00.001-07:00

Samsung Omnia M

Following the unveil of the Focus 2 earlier this week, Samsung has outed the Omnia M, another Windows Phone 7.5 smartphone. Headed to European markets, the Omnia M is an entry-level model, but it is still equipped with a Super AMOLED display.
The Omnia M's 4-inch Super AMOLED display features the standard WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) resolution that all Windows Phone devices have. Under the hood, the Omnia M has a 1GHz processor and 384MB of RAM and a 1500mAh battery that supplies the juice. Around back is a 5 megapixel camera, while a VGA camera up front handles video call duties. The phone itself measures 121.6mm x 64.1mm x 10.5mm and weighs 119g.

The Omnia M runs Windows Phone 7.5 and comes with all of the services that one would expect from Windows Phone. It also has Samsung's ChatON and Family Story apps pre-installed. Since the Omnia M only has 384MB of RAM, it is one of the new low-end Windows Phone devices that run the "Tango" version of the OS.
Samsung plans to launch the Omnia M in Europe first, then roll it out to other regions at a later time. An exact launch date was not announced.
