Samsung Acme i8910

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 05:55:12 +0000

Its the handset that the Coyote of Roadrunner fame would be using. after all, he always had a thing for Acme products. which brings us to the Acme i8910 handset. I have no idea why Samsung would want to name this handset as the Acme i8910 ; but whatever the name may suggest , fact is that this seems to have the makings of a great cell phone. Samsung hasnt come up with an official announcement about this beauty yet, and the news has been leakied onto the blogosphere as is so often the case.

INQ1 : The Facebook Phone

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:17:57 +0000

Attempting to hitch on to the Facebook mania is the INQ 1. I must admit I am impressed with their idea of making a handset that caters specifically to Facebook users. Heaven knows there are more than enough to keep several companies in business if the concept picks up.

Nokia 5800: XpressMusic

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:15:45 +0000

Personally, I aint a big fan of listening to music. Sure its a great thing to do while stuck in traffic, but thats about it. So I never did understand all the hullabaloo about the iPod or the music features of the iPhone. Apparently it mattered a lot, to a lot of people. And Nokia felt sufficiently threatened to launch a whole new range of cell phones which concentrated on music. Thats not to say that I never dug music based cell phones. I went in for the Nokia 5500 for its music features despite its bulkiness.

Sony Ericsson C510 :Cyber Shot with Smile Shutter Tech

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:14:37 +0000

Smile Shutter is just a fancy way of saying smile detection, but then given that this is SonyEricssons most affordable Cyber-shot phone to date, I aint complainin. As with other cyber shot phones, the C510 emphasises on the camera. A 3.2 megapixel lens puts in the hard work on this baby and with some excellent features such as auto focus and face detection, its almost as if you are holding a professional camera in your hands rather then a camera phone.

Projector Phones from Logic Wireless - the next big thing

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:12:06 +0000

Just like camera phones were the absolute thing to have a few years ago, its going to be projector phones that will change the global scene in the next couple of years. Along with SD cards that can hold 1 TB of data, this means you just store your favorite movies on your handset and given a spare moment project the movie onto any close surface.

Asus Eee Cell-Phone

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:58:43 +0000

Asus must have desperately hoped for this to become true, but the way the Eee brand name has picked up is something that most comapnies can only dream about. The Asus Eee cell phone, we are assured is no fake, the announcement came straight from the horses mouth - in this case the CEO of ASUS himself - Mr. Johnny Shih.

iCE Phone

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 14:50:13 +0000

The idea of ICE has been around for some time now. It encourages people to enter emergency contacts in their cell phone address book under the name "ICE". ICE meaning In Case of Emergency. I dont know if thats why they christened this handset the ICE Phone, but its definitely something that paramedics and doctors will appreciate having in an emergency instead of their normal cell phone.

The REAL Hello Kitty Cell Phone

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:04:04 +0000

I am sure all of us have by now come across scores of Hello Kitty phones by now. And by Hello Kitty phones, I refer to those handsets that come in various shapes and sizes and just bear a small hello kitty name tag imprinted somewhere. However THIS handset isnt like any of those. No Sireee, this is the real thing. A cute pink color with the shape of the furry feline leaving no one in any doubt as to which handset you are using.

AT&T upgrades 3G networks at cost of 2G networks

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:42:20 +0000

And to prove that they are aware of the situation , just complaint more than once and they admit to their faults and even offer you a 200$ credit as an incentive to buy you off and push you onto the 3G network. The 2G network is used by a lot of handsets including Blackberry, RAZR and the original iPhone with loads of users. The trouble originates because both the networks require seperate transmitters. In a bid to cut costs, AT&T is instead simply replacing the 2G transmitters with 3G ones.

Mobile OS UIQ downs the shutters

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:07:32 +0000

One of my favorite operating systems at a time (given that it gave close competition to the Series 60 OS , dominant a couple of years back) and also given that I have a habit of cheering for the under-dog ; its sad to know that UIQ is being put to rest. The mobile platform which powered phones such as the SonyEricsson P910 is bankrupt.

Cell-Phones get Pair Movies

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:38:28 +0000

Given that most cell phones have teeny weeny screens, it doesnt take Einstein to figure out why people arent enthused with the idea of watching movies on those small screens. For the Japanese who lead the technology world in solving such problems (or maybe they just love their cell phones) ; they have come up with a unique solution. Simply hold any two handsets next to each other and watch the movie on the (added) larger screen.
