Mobile enthusiasts will really love to show off the Arc with its amazing wide screen display and
latest version of Android. However what it lacks is the highly coveted “Playstation”. Users will
have to miss out on this exclusive Sony Brand USP when going in for the Arc!

Bravia Technology For Hardcore Media Lovers

The unique Bravia Technology feature is an instant hit with media lovers. On checking out this
phone it was seen that it gives you the joys of the “big screen” on its “small screen” without
straining eyes to get a clear idea of the picture displayed. The images are sharp and clear.
You can catch YouTube videos and watch movies without issues on this impressive wide
touchscreen.

Most of the latest phones available in the market do not have natural and bright screen colours
like the Arc. The size of its touchcreen is 4.2 inches and despite not being an AMOLED one like
many of its counterparts, the phone does manage to give you accurate colours. The images are
beautiful and clear to look at and this is one area that the Arc tends to score high.

Sony Ericsson Bravia Engine Technology delivers the best colour, noise reduction, contrast and
sharpness on screen. It aids the smooth video streaming of YouTube videos and when checked
in action its performance was impressive and commendable.

Movies on this device can be seen without the presence of black bars. The grip of the handset is
ideal for all especially if you are a person with small hands. The exteriors of the device are cool.
When switched off you can actually see the edge of the display that makes you really praise the
brand for rendering the amazing monolithic appearance!

Delicate, Thin and Slim

The Arc is gorgeously thin and slim. Its thickest ends just measure 9mm and it curves to 8.7mm
in its middle. The case is sensitive as it is not made of metal. So you need to be a little cautious
when it comes to handling this delicate device. It is not at all made of any rough and tough
material. Plastic has been used for the body. This is a minus point with the brand admitting that
its phones have not passed the tough tests in the past. So if you are with the Arc remember -
handle with care!

Now, if you have the idea that the Arc may snap at any moment pause for a second as Sony
Ericsson assures you that despite being stunningly thin this device does have protection it
needs in the form of a cover that is a shatter-proof one. Check on top of the scratch proof
mineral glass if you still want to be sure. On checking the back of the body we found the plastic
body flexing back slightly. Our sample did not have any wobbly parts however on examination
it seems that the device will not survive a drop onto hard ground and so the “handle with care”
caution still remains intact!

Say Cheese And Smile

The Sony Ericsson Arc sports an 8.1 MP camera with a LED supported photo light. There are
many unique camera settings that include face detection and image stabilization. The phone
has the highly coveted Exmor R CMOS sensor that you can see in certain remote compact
cameras.

When the photos were tested it was discovered that the Arc does give you decent photographs
in dark conditions with the LED feature switched off. When turned on the image did improve
however it could have come out better with the lights turned on.

Fresh Gingerbread Treat

The Arc is out with the latest 2.3 Gingerbread Operating System. The operating system and the
user interface are not the same and are separated in this phone. Users can get faster updates
and you can actually swipe through Facebook and Twitter updates on the home screen. The
Timescape application for social networking that performed dismally in the past has been
revamped. This means that if you install two applications for Facebook and Twitter both can be
linked via Timescape rendering you a smoother experience!

Verdict

Plus Points: The Arc has a great thin curved case that is slim and stunning to look at. Its wide
screen resolution and display is impressive. The 8.1 MP camera of the Arc with its innovative
Exmor R CMOS sensor does not disappoint.

Minus Points: It has a poor battery life. Users have to miss access to Sony’s exclusive
Playstation feature and the brand’s film and music content.

Below are some of the technical specs of the new device:

Support for global mobile networks
Dual-core 1 GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor
1 GB of RAM, microSD slot for memory cards
4.5-inch qHD display (maybe even HD)
8 megapixel camera with Full HD (1080p) video
microUSB port and HDMI

Unfortunately, no other details are available. And here are the photos promised above.

Here’s another contender: the HTC Pico. Judging from the name, this is a small device, at least smaller than HTC’s usual high-end devices.

XDA.cn has published the photos of the device alongside the phone’s main specs. There are only 2 photos available, but it’s enough for HTC fans to get a nice feel for the phone.

On the inside the phone basically copies the the Wildfire S, and there are minor differences between these ”twin phones”. The main thing, that is changed, is the overall aspect of the phone. it’s also possible that the Pico will come with interchangeable covers of some sort, which may explain the color it’s pictured in above.

Like the Wildfire S, the Pico is also powered with a Qualcomm MSM7227 600 MHz processor and has a 5 MP camera. And though according to the leaked specsheet, the handset has a LED Flash, in the photos above there doesn’t seem to be one, or the flash may just be so well integrated into the camera unit that it’s not easily visible from the angle of the leaked photos. Anyway, this could be another difference compared to the Wildfire S which does come with the LED flash.The Pico has 384 MB of RAM, which is less than  Wildfire S’s 512 MB. The displays are identical – 3.2 inches diagonally and having a 480×320 resolution. The battery is also the same – same 1230 mAh. The Pico also has Wi-Fi, HSPA, Bluetooth, and GPS, not surprising in this day and age.

The device supports HSPA(900/2100) networks, which means it’s headed to Europe, or at least this specific variation is.
The handset may be released as Pico, or it may just turn out to be a codename that won’t see the light of day. It’s unclear at this moment.

The HTC Pico will run Android Gingerbread and will come with HTC Sense Zero, which may or may not be a stripped down version of the Taiwanese company’s ubiquitous Android UI overlay.If it does turn out to be just that, we’ll make all the appropriate jokes about how HTC finally realized how bloated Sense had become at the appropriate time.

No other details are available about this device right now, so we don’t know when it will be launched and how much it will cost.

The last one, the BlackBerry Curve 9360, is also expected to be released soon. It’s going to be the most affordable of the lot. According to an internal Bell document received by MobileSyrup, the Curve 9360 will become available on August 29. So, if you live in Canada, you’ll have an opportunity to pick up the cheapest smartphone running the new BlackBerry OS 7.

The new Curve will feature a 2.44-inch screen with 480×360 resolution, obviously a QWERTY keyboard, an 800 MHz processor, a 5 MP camera, as well as all the usual amenities for a smartphone in this day and age, such as Wi-Fi, HSPA, Bluetooth, and GPS.

So, if Bell is your carrier, there you have it – 4 new BlackBerry smartphones to to choose from when considering what your next device will be.

Windows 7 phone as most of us know was a much desired rebranding of Microsoft’s old mobile OS Windows Mobile and came in February 2010. The software has managed to lure quite a few manufacturers since then becoming the much chosen mobile OS for many new models. While sadly it hasn’t been able to escalate its market share to two digits inspite of its strategic partnership with Nokia for being the primary OS in its smartphones, there is no doubt that its new interface and nifty features have pulled Microsoft back into the league it had been shunt out from by eminent players.

Back on wheels now, Windows 7 phone powers some of the most sophisticated smartphones like Samsung Omnia , LG Optimus 7, HTC 7 Trophy and many others, with the HTC Arrive being the latest star of the industry. Wearing the HTC moniker, Arrive marks Microsoft’s return and Sprint’s incursion into the CDMA universe, and fills the slot of the long-awaited successor to the HTC Touch Pro 2 in Sprint’s lineup. Strictly a 3Gdevice, the phone has recently hit the showrooms and is yet to leave it impression in the highly volatile and demanding smartphone market. Will this new kid survive the battle of the fittest, read on to know what HTC Arrive has to offer to its buyers.

Design

HTC Arrive isn’t much of a delight as for the design of the phone is concerned. Nevertheless it manages to keep our interests with its subtle curves and streamlined design and its gray metal and soft-touch plastic body. The power button takes the top place like always with the volume controller on the left side accompanied by the microUSBPort. The camera and flash have been pushed to back side while a metal battery door adds a nice feel. The front exhibits the standard Back, Menu, and Search buttons, very typical of all Windows Phone 7 phones. The camera button is placed on the bottom right side of the phone, which could have been worked over. Also, the owners will have to do with the 16GB built-in storage only as there is no card slot for expanding the phone’s memory. The phone stays bulky, credits the slide out keyboard, with the phone weighing a total of 185g (6.5oz). Also measuring 4.63-by-2.32 -by-0.61 inches, Arrive is definitely a piece not easily slithering in your pockets.

Hardware

Sprint’s inaugural venture into the new world of Windows Phone 7, HTC Arrive is a phone that keeps up the good name of both the provider and the manufacturer. Curved stature of the chunky phone manages a fair amount of sleekness in the looks. Powered by Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon Processor, Arrive offers optimum performance and speedy experience to the users. Coupled along is 576MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM and a 1500mAh lithium-ion battery that carries the load of all your activities on the phone for sufficient duration. For the connectivity on the go, thank CDMA 800/1900, Wi-Fi b/g/n, aGPS, and Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, features that one will also find in the EVO Shift 4G. The sliding QWERTY keyboard is one of the worthy mentions on the phone (more on that later).

Box:

The box carries all the essentialities namely the wall charger, HTC branded stereo headset, a micro USB sync/ charging cable, and a bunch of guides for your easy tour through the mechanics and features of the phone. Additionally, Sprint provides a postage paid envelope in the box that must be used to recycle a device you wish to discard.

Display:

HTC Arrive sports a 3.6-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen with multi-touch capability. While Super LCD display offers a resolution of 800×480-pixel, the screen exhibits bright colors and sharp edges. The three buttons that take onto the bottom of the screen are Back, Windows Home, and Search (Bing). Extremely responsive, the phone does not lag while swiping through the menus while the screen gives optimal display in most lighting conditions. What makes HTC Arrive stand out from the crowd is its tilting screen that stands inclined at almost 30 degrees when slid upwards to reveal the QWERTY keyboard.

QWERTY keyboard

Arrive’s QWERTY is very much a standard 5-row keyboard found on many HTCs. When slid out, a small spring pops the screen up for a better angle. The keys are too flat, barely standing out from the surface, but have been evenly placed with enough distance between them. The backlit buttons are smooth and very receptive while the extra dedicated buttons like the dollar and pound sign and emoticons and diacritical marks add more fun to texting and mailing.

Camera

The HTC Arrive will be able to capture your valuable moments perfectly with its 5 MP camera and an LED flash. It is also capable of recording videos up to 720p resolution at 30fps as well allows focusing on objects to around two inches (5cm). The camera button can also snap photos fast, when phone is in the locked mode.

Software

HTC Arrive as has been discussed so far runs Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7. Both Sprint and HTC have preloaded their hubs on to the phone. A total of six Windows Phone 7 Hubs assort the content from the web, apps and services at one place for an easy access. Photos and live feeds from social networks to accessing  Microsoft Office, OneNote and SharePoint Workspace, playing games for the first time with an official Xbox LIVE experience on phone to enjoying your favorite tracks from the Music + Videos Hub, the phone is one stop solution for all your needs. The Sprint Hub on the other hand assimilates all data related to Sprint like the sponsored apps, news, tips and even lets you pay your bills.

The phone bags additional admiration for the much awaited feature of copy/paste. For using the feature, all you need to do is just tap a word on a Web page or in a document to display tags, drag a finger to select the desired text and tap the copy icon. Swiping to the right restores that has been pasted from the clipboard in order to paste the text again.

Sadly, HTC Arrive fails to mark a niche in the internet arena. Not only is the Internet Explorer hub too basic, there is no flash support in the browser. Inspite of all these drawbacks, the navigation is fast and the browser is minimalist.

Conclusion

HTC Arrive is now available  for $199.99 with a new two-year service agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate (taxes not included) in all Sprint retail channels, including the Web (www.sprint.com) and Telesales. Sprint’s Everything Data plans starts at just $69.99 per month plus required $10 Premium Data add-on charge that offer unlimited Web, texting and calling to and from any mobile in America while on the Sprint network. Without a contract, the full purchase price is $449.99.

Here are a few highlights on the HTC Arrive:

PROS:

1.)    Copy/Paste

2.)    Improved search with Hubs

3.)    Responsive QWERTY keyboard with great layout and a tilting screen

4.)    Solid battery life (Lasts a couple of days)

5.)    Good call quality

6.)    Speakerphone

7.)    SRS enhancements

CONS:

1.)  Lacks removable storage

2.) No 4G WiMax support

3.) Heavy and bulky

4.) Image quality and camera could have been improved

5.) No Flash support

6.) Slow internet

7.) All the screens do not work in the landscape mode

8.) No front facing camera

9.) Battery heats quickly

The configuration that the HTC Arrive ships in with seems more like one year old, fairly stale for a so called fresh product in the market. When pinned against its rivals, the phone fails to stand out because of many of its missing features. The potential opponents include Sprint’s and HTC’s very own EVO Shift 4G and Samsung Epic 4G that has the open sourced Android running on the device with a bunch of other features like front facing camera, 4G support, flash support and lots more offered at a very slight price variation. Arrive definitely exploits completely the flashy interface much expected from a Windows 7 phone, a friendly angled keyboard and a good call quality. Hence on the whole, if you are on Sprint and are desperately searching for a new option, HTC Arrive isn’t a complete deal breaker. A 3.5/5 is all that this new kid on the block deserves.

So how would you feel, waking up on a bright morning, the weather being pleasant and you are still on a state of not liking your cell phone for a known number of reasons. Also you hate it for the fact that it never proved its value being a companion when there is nobody to take care of you. Then definitely it’s time, to gift yourself a new cell phone. Well truly speaking, there’s no perfect phone which exists till date, every phone has its own pros and cons.

Mozart, the name suggests the phone to be an ultimate phone for music, but HTC 7 Mozart is a phone which dares to challenge the other smart phones on the style factor. So perplexed? Yeah, just flip your HTC 7 Mozart and you will be amazed to find the sleek aluminium frame and also the 8 megapixel camera with Xenon flash. So it’s tough time for all those camera phones around the world who have ruled the top positions.

So for all those WP7 fanatics out there, HTC 7 Mozart will never let your hopes down. This is the first, probably the only one of its kind WP7 phone to feature an 8 megapixel camera. This little masterpiece also offers a surround –sound experience for video and music playback and there’s much more. So let’s just cut down the introduction, let’s rock and roll, Shall we?

Design

We have recently reviewed the HTC Trophy. Well, HTC 7 Mozart is pretty similar to HTC trophy in terms of its dimensions. It measures 119 x 60.2 x 11.9 mm. The layout of the screen, keys and ear-piece have been optimally placed so as to reduce the wastage of space. This is the main reason for the HTC 7 Mozart to look compact. As mentioned earlier, the sleek aluminium body is what makes Mozart to stand out from its competitors, and to our astonishment, Mozart was 10gms lighter than the Plastic bodied HTC Trophy.

The phone is very comfortable to handle, and the material used for the body is a blend of aluminium and high quality matte plastic. The front panel is almost the same as other HTC phones where the majority of the portion is taken by the screen. The rear panel is something HTC has tried to make it distinct from other typical HTC phones. Mozart has its front panel wrapped around on the left side to give the feeling of a unibody construction. The battery cover is placed at the rear bottom. The inclusion of matte plastic and the aluminium parts makes the frame resistant to fingerprints.

Like in all typical HTC phones, Mozart features 3 keys – back, start and search at the bottom of the screen. The top of the frame features a LED status indicator and also an ear piece.

On the left you find the volume rocker keys and a microUSB port and on the right hand side you find the camera shutter key. At the top, you tend to find the 3.5mm audio jack placed far away from the power/screen lock key. The bottom of the phone features a mouthpiece.

Ok, so let’s flip the phone back, and here comes the differentiation factor, well, ‘m not talking about the loudspeaker grill, but the 8 megapixel camera supported by a xenon flash.

Hardware

In addition to the camera and the flash support, Mozart sports a 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset along with a 3.7 inch S-LCD capacitive touchscreen. So let’s start exploring the packaging box.

The Box

Mozart’s packaging and the accessories have maintained their standards upto the expectations. Your phone is provided with an USB charger, one- piece headset with music controls. It also comes with a microUSB cable and the user guide for those first time users on both paper copy and a disc.

Display:

Mozart sports a 3.7 inch screen with screen sensitivity, the response being great and silky smooth with an amazing performance. The display is brighter compared to other HTC phones and also the legibility issue are also favourable. I would really thank HTC for chipping in a better screen as compared to the other phones in the family. But the glossy front requires regular cleaning as it is not resistant to finger prints.

Camera:

The 8 MP autofocus camera snaps photos with a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels. The camera shutter key is capable of starting the camera with a single press. This button is also used to unlock the phone, but developers have made sure that any accident triggering of the button (like inside a purse and pocket) will not start the camera. There is also an option provided for flicker adjustment, metering mode, scene presets and also changing of resolution.

On the other side, Mozart has fared poorly in terms of image quality in comparison with the phones featuring an 8 MP camera. The images from Mozart are less in detail and are quite soft. The pre processing also fails in proper white balancing which in turn ends up with an image with a bluish tint.

Connectivity:

HTC 7 Mozart is supported by a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology and a dual-band 3G with HSPA, with the downlink being 7.2Mbps and uplink being 2Mbps. This caters to international and national connectivity.

The local connectivity is covered by Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP. Well, as in other WP7 phones, Mozart also does not support Bluetooth file transfer.

Battery:

What if a phone is loaded with amazing applications, and excellent user interface, it is the battery that matters for it to be a success. Mozart is powered by a 1300 mAh Li-Ion unit and is said to support 435 hours of standyby and 5.5 hours of talk time.

Software

HTC 7 Mozart retains the same user interface feel as in other HTC phones. I would rather say we tend to see the same live tiles and same homescreen. So let us just look at each of this in detail.

User interface

HTC 7 Mozart is mainly composed of two main parts – a homescreen and main menu. As in all other HTC window phones, the homescreen corresponds to a grid of live tiles. These live tiles are equivalent to the shortcuts in the homescreen.

On the other hand, the main menu is a traditional list – a platform where all the installed apps and hubs are listed in alphabetical order. This would mean, the number of applications installed is directly proportional to the length of the list. The items on this list can be pinned to the homescreen by just pressing and holding the item for about, say 1 second.

The user interface also lacks multitasking, and applications running on the background tend to suspend when the phone screen is locked. However there is an option to allow for it to run. But most of the times the app or the game is restarted.

And here goes the video

Default apps

HTC 7 Mozart is bombarded with a variety of apps which includes connection setup, Sound enhancer and photo enhancer.

Calendar

The windows phone 7 calendar app is loaded with extra features than compared to a normal calendar app found in other phones. It also lets you add an appointment with ease. The app also supports multiple alarms, each with its own name, ringing sound and repeat pattern.

Calculator

The calculator app is also loaded with unique capabilities. This app features big buttons and favours for those having fat and chubby fingers. Tilting the phone to its right would activate hexadecimal input and tilting to its left corresponds to trigonometry and logarithmic inputs.

Zune Player

The Zune media player acts as iTunes for your iPhone. The Zune software installed in a PC is required to synchronise and other files with the phone. And I can say, this is the only way to get your media content into your phone library.

Browsers

The default browser in HTC 7 Mozart used is the Internet explorer. Having said that, it does not refer to the fact that, it is prone to many problems. Well, it definitely makes you think twice before purchasing a tab.

The browser is capable of rendering page quickly and also provides the option of panning and scrolling. Zooming of a particular section of the screen requires you to double tap on the screen and pinching in or out depending on whether the task is to zoom in or zoom out.

The browser is very elegant and can handle upto 6 tabs at a moment. There is also an option for bookmarks, adding to favourites and managing history. But the browser fails to score when it comes to flash enabled websites. It also has issues on saving a particular webpage. The YouTube app support is minimal and the icon is just treated as a bookmark rather than an application itself.

Conclusion

Main Disadvantages:

• 3.7″ 16M-color capacitive LCD touchscreen of WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels)
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
• Dual-band 3G with HSDPA (7.2 Mbps) and HSUPA (2Mbps)

• Standard 3.5mm audio jack
• Standard microUSB port (charging)
• Dolby Mobile and SRS sound enhancement
• Pretty good audio quality
• Wi-Fi b/g/n
• Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
• Accelerometer for screen auto rotation
• Office document editor
• Facebook integration and cloud services
• Built-in A-GPS receiver
• Stereo FM Radio with RDS
• Comes with HTC Hub and exclusive HTC apps
• Voice-to-text functionality

Main disadvantages:

• Disastrous camera performance
• Weak xenon flash
• Non-expandable storage
• No lens protection

Well, HTC 7 Mozart has undoubtedly proved to be a stylish gadget and one of its kind with a unibody chassis. The hardware configuration and placement of key seemed to be perfect without any flaws. The screen quality is also a plus point which gives a better legibility and a crisper look. But it has failed to impress in terms of performance in the camera unit and the poor xenon flash has been a total let down. But in a way, inspite of the under performance of the camera, Mozart has pushed its way up and also has more than one reason for it to be picked and being brought into limelight. And as I speak about this everytime, no gadget in this universe is 100 percent perfect and I strongly feel Mozart has every reason to be the best. Well, the choice is yours, my friend.

The carrier has posted the full pricing information on the Galaxy Tab 10.1v. Here are the details. You can get the device without any contract paying $729 upfront. You will also get 6 GB of data that’s good to use for 3 months.

But if you are short of money you can sign a contract and get a vodafone promotional code. You will have to pay $259 upfront for the tablet, and then $39, $53, $63, or $83 per month in order to get 1.5 GB, 6 GB, 14 GB, or 18 GB of data traffic, respectively.

Vodafone coverage is not the largest one in Australia and it’s amazing to see a carrier offers an 18 GB per month data traffic option in this day and age.

There is also a two-year contract option. The tablet will be yours for free, but you will have to shell out the sums above for any of the aforementioned data plans each month.

As you see, there are many options to get this tablet, and one of them will surely fit a voucherseeker like you. So if you’re interested, and it doesn’t bother you that Samsung has announced another, thinner version of this tablet since unveiling this particular model, then head on over to Vodafone for pre-order placement instructions.

These countries are: Austria, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, and Taiwan.

The unlocked version of the Xperia Play costs slightly over €500 ($707), depending on where you’re getting it from.

Now SE has launched the phone in India, too.

Indian customers can get the phone for 31,000 – 32,000 INR (about $700) from some retail stores, as well as online – for example, Flipkart has the smartphone, and says it can ship it in 4 business days.

The Xperia Play is one of the most anticipated mobiles of the year mainly because it carries the “Playstation” branding.

It’s main draw is the sliding gamepad which features a d-pad, the four classic playstation buttons , 2 shoulder buttons and two touchpads. The mobile is powered by 1 Ghz processor and runs on Android 2.3. It also has a 5 mega-pixel camera with LED flash.

There are more than 60 games currently available for the Xperia Play, including Assassins Creed Altair’s Chronicles HD, Need for Speed, Dungeon Defenders Second Wave, Galaxy on Fire 2, and Worms.

According to SE, “the games are downloadable via the Xperia PLAY launcher, an application that is activated by sliding open the gamepad.”

Find the full list of available games in this press release.

This means AT&T will be the only national GSM carrier, and will only have two major competitors in Verizon and Sprint. AT&T will become the largest carrier in the US by a large margin, at roughly 130 million subscribers.

AT&T to Acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom

Provides Fast, Efficient and Certain Solution to Impending Spectrum Exhaust Challenges Facing AT&T and T-Mobile USA in Key Markets Due to Explosive Demand for Mobile Broadband

Enhances Network Capacity, Output and Quality in Near Term for Both Companies’ Customers

AT&T Commits to Expand 4G LTE Deployment to an Additional 46.5 Million Americans, Including in Rural, Smaller Communities, for a Total of 294 Million or 95% of the U.S. Population

Provides 4G LTE Service for T-Mobile USA’s 34 Million Subscribers

More Than $8 Billion in Incremental Infrastructure Spend by a U.S. Company over Seven Years, Enabling Nation’s High-Tech Industry, Innovation and Economic Growth

Creates Substantial Value for AT&T Shareholders Through Large, Straightforward Synergies

DALLAS & BONN, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Deutsche Telekom AG (FWB: DTE) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which AT&T will acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at approximately $39 billion. The agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.

“This transaction represents a major commitment to strengthen and expand critical infrastructure for our nation’s future”

AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile USA provides an optimal combination of network assets to add capacity sooner than any alternative, and it provides an opportunity to improve network quality in the near term for both companies’ customers. In addition, it provides a fast, efficient and certain solution to the impending exhaustion of wireless spectrum in some markets, which limits both companies’ ability to meet the ongoing explosive demand for mobile broadband.

With this transaction, AT&T commits to a significant expansion of robust 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) deployment to 95 percent of the U.S. population to reach an additional 46.5 million Americans beyond current plans – including rural communities and small towns. This helps achieve the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and President Obama’s goals to connect “every part of America to the digital age.” T-Mobile USA does not have a clear path to delivering LTE.

“This transaction represents a major commitment to strengthen and expand critical infrastructure for our nation’s future,” said Randall Stephenson, AT&T Chairman and CEO. “It will improve network quality, and it will bring advanced LTE capabilities to more than 294 million people. Mobile broadband networks drive economic opportunity everywhere, and they enable the expanding high-tech ecosystem that includes device makers, cloud and content providers, app developers, customers, and more. During the past few years, America’s high-tech industry has delivered innovation at unprecedented speed, and this combination will accelerate its continued growth.”

Stephenson continued, “This transaction delivers significant customer, shareowner and public benefits that are available at this level only from the combination of these two companies with complementary network technologies, spectrum positions and operations. We are confident in our ability to execute a seamless integration, and with additional spectrum and network capabilities, we can better meet our customers’ current demands, build for the future and help achieve the President’s goals for a high-speed, wirelessly connected America.”

Deutsche Telekom Chairman and CEO René Obermann said, “After evaluating strategic options for T-Mobile USA, I am confident that AT&T is the best partner for our customers, shareholders and the mobile broadband ecosystem. Our common network technology makes this a logical combination and provides an efficient path to gaining the spectrum and network assets needed to provide T-Mobile customers with 4G LTE and the best devices. Also, the transaction returns significant value to Deutsche Telekom shareholders and allows us to retain exposure to the U.S. market.”

As part of the transaction, Deutsche Telekom will receive an equity stake in AT&T that, based on the terms of the agreement, would give Deutsche Telekom an ownership interest in AT&T of approximately 8 percent. A Deutsche Telekom representative will join the AT&T Board of Directors.

Competition and Pricing

The U.S. wireless industry is one of the most fiercely competitive markets in the world and will remain so after this deal. The U.S. is one of the few countries in the world where a large majority of consumers can choose from five or more wireless providers in their local market. For example, in 18 of the top 20 U.S. local markets, there are five or more providers. Local market competition is escalating among larger carriers, low-cost carriers and several regional wireless players with nationwide service plans. This intense competition is only increasing with the build-out of new 4G networks and the emergence of new market entrants.

The competitiveness of the market has directly benefited consumers. A 2010 report from the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) states the overall average price (adjusted for inflation) for wireless services declined 50 percent from 1999 to 2009, during a period which saw five major wireless mergers.

Addresses wireless spectrum challenges facing AT&T, T-Mobile USA, their customers, and U.S. policymakers

This transaction quickly provides the spectrum and network efficiencies necessary for AT&T to address impending spectrum exhaust in key markets driven by the exponential growth in mobile broadband traffic on its network. AT&T’s mobile data traffic grew 8,000 percent over the past four years and by 2015 it is expected to be eight to 10 times what it was in 2010. Put another way, all of the mobile traffic volume AT&T carried during 2010 is estimated to be carried in just the first six to seven weeks of 2015. Because AT&T has led the U.S. in smartphones, tablets and e-readers – and as a result, mobile broadband – it requires additional spectrum before new spectrum will become available. In the long term, the entire industry will need additional spectrum to address the explosive growth in demand for mobile broadband.

Improves service quality for U.S. wireless customers

AT&T and T-Mobile USA customers will see service improvements – including improved voice quality – as a result of additional spectrum, increased cell tower density and broader network infrastructure. At closing, AT&T will immediately gain cell sites equivalent to what would have taken on average five years to build without the transaction, and double that in some markets. The combination will increase AT&T’s network density by approximately 30 percent in some of its most populated areas, while avoiding the need to construct additional cell towers. This transaction will increase spectrum efficiency to increase capacity and output, which not only improves service, but is also the best way to ensure competitive prices and services in a market where demand is extremely high and spectrum is in short supply.

Expands 4G LTE deployment to 95 percent of U.S. population – urban and rural areas

This transaction will directly benefit an additional 46.5 million Americans – equivalent to the combined populations of the states of New York and Texas – who will, as a result of this combination, have access to AT&T’s latest 4G LTE technology. In terms of area covered, the transaction enables 4G LTE deployment to an additional 1.2 million square miles, equivalent to 4.5 times the size of the state of Texas. Rural and smaller communities will substantially benefit from the expansion of 4G LTE deployment, increasing the competitiveness of the businesses and entrepreneurs in these areas.

Increases AT&T’s investment in the U.S.

The acquisition will increase AT&T’s infrastructure investment in the U.S. by more than $8 billion over seven years. Expansion of AT&T’s 4G LTE network is an important foundation for the next wave of innovation and growth in mobile broadband, ensuring the U.S. continues to lead the world in wireless technology and availability. It makes T-Mobile USA, currently a German-owned U.S. telecom network, part of a U.S.-based company.

An impressive, combined workforce

Bringing AT&T and T-Mobile USA together will create an impressive workforce that is best positioned to compete in today’s global economy. Post-closing, AT&T intends to tap into the significant knowledge and expertise held by employees of both AT&T and T-Mobile USA to succeed. AT&T is the only major U.S. wireless company with a union workforce, offering leading wages, benefits, training and development for employees. The combined company will continue to have a strong employee and operations base in the Seattle area.

Consistent with AT&T’s track record of value-enhancing acquisitions

AT&T has a strong track record of executing value-enhancing acquisitions and expects to create substantial value for shareholders through large, straightforward synergies with a run rate of more than $3 billion, three years after closing onward (excluding integration costs). The value of the synergies is expected to exceed the purchase price of $39 billion. Revenue synergies come from opportunities to increase smartphone penetration and data average revenue per user, with cost savings coming from network efficiencies, subscriber and support savings, reduced churn and avoided capital and spectrum expenditures.

The transaction will enhance margin potential and improve the company’s long-term revenue growth potential as it benefits from a more robust mobile broadband platform for new services.

Additional financial information

The $39 billion purchase price will include a cash payment of $25 billion with the balance to be paid using AT&T common stock, subject to adjustment. AT&T has the right to increase the cash portion of the purchase price by up to $4.2 billion with a corresponding reduction in the stock component, so long as Deutsche Telekom receives at least a 5 percent equity ownership interest in AT&T.

The number of AT&T shares issued will be based on the AT&T share price during the 30-day period prior to closing, subject to a 7.5 percent collar; there is a one-year lock-up period during which Deutsche Telekom cannot sell shares.

The cash portion of the purchase price will be financed with new debt and cash on AT&T’s balance sheet. AT&T has an 18-month commitment for a one-year unsecured bridge term facility underwritten by J.P. Morgan for $20 billion. AT&T assumes no debt from T-Mobile USA or Deutsche Telekom and continues to have a strong balance sheet.

The transaction is expected to be earnings (excluding non-cash amortization and integration costs) accretive in the third year after closing. Pro-forma for 2010, this transaction increases AT&T’s total wireless revenues from $58.5 billion to nearly $80 billion, and increases the percentage of AT&T’s total revenues from wireless, wireline data and managed services to approximately 80 percent.

This transaction will allow for sufficient cash flow to support AT&T’s dividend. AT&T has increased its dividend for 27 consecutive years, a matter decided by AT&T’s Board of Directors.

Conditions

The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals, a reverse breakup fee in certain circumstances, and other customary regulatory and other closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in approximately 12 months.

Advisors

Greenhill & Co., J.P. Morgan and Evercore Partners acted as financial advisors and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, Arnold & Porter, and Crowell & Moring provided legal advice to AT&T.

Being the Official Mobile Partner of the 2011 888.com Premier League Darts, UK mobile
retailer Dialaphone has settled on just the event it
believes signifies the brand’s new direction.

The Online Marketing Manager of Dialaphone Adam Cartlidge said: “We’re very proud to be associated with
Premier League Darts and this partnership marks a return to prominent exposure for the brand, and
arrives in conjunction with a magnitude of marketing initiatives which aim to reposition Dialaphone
back at the head on the online mobile phone retailer table.

“The phenomenal success of Premier League Darts and the high profile it occupies in the sporting
calendar allows Dialaphone, as ‘Official Mobile Partner’, to gain exposure to the sport’s new fan
base, a fan base which we feel perfectly represents that of the smartphone market.

“Past misconceptions about the Darts crowd have now long since diminished, and the new
prominence of the affluent information hungry male is now in place. These are guys who want the
latest technology and gadgets, but are savvy enough to realise the best mobile phone deals are
online.”

In conjunction with the PDC event, Dialaphone offered free tickets to this week’s Premier League
Darts opening night. Entrants were asked to suggest names for the Dialaphone Darts Team, who
were subsequently inundated with ideas including ‘Home Is Where The Dart Is’ and ‘Dartistic
License’. With similar partnership opportunities in the pipeline, Dialaphone fully expects to ride the
new wave of smartphone-savvy users seeking a new edge to their entertainment and, dare we say it,
a double-top night out.

All the phones, including the latest smartphones will be available for free just 2 days.Of course, you will have to sign two-year agreements, and and mail-in rebates may apply to certain phones.

Even nicer than getting phones for free is that the offer will apply to new customers as well as upgrades and add-a-lines.

Of course you can get any phone for free, including featurephones, but… why would you do that when you can get any smartphone for free? So if you’ve been endlessly craving a new ‘toy’ but perhaps didn’t have the cash needed to get it, now would be your time to act. You may need to hurry, since apparently supplies are going to be rather limited. So get your tent in front of that TMo store and start counting down!

It’s really a cheap QWERTY phone. The Indian customers can get it for just 4,459 INR or about $98.

As for the technical specs and features we should mention the 2.4 inch QVGA display, GSM/EDGE connectivity, 3.5mm headset jack, stereo FM radio, Ovi mail, MicroSD card support, and a VGA camera that will likely let you snap craptastic photos.

The phone is available in five color versions – black, white, red, pink and blue and it can be found at authorized Nokia dealers across the country.

So, if you don’t have much cash for mobile phones go after this phone!

According to rumors, Motorola dealers across India will start selling the device next Monday, on January 24.

The exact price of the phone is not known yet, but it may be something around 20,000 INR ($438).

Currently the handset is running Android 2.1, but Motorola promised to upgrade it to 2.2 Froyo in the second quarter of this year.

Here are some devices appeared over at PocketNow.

The first phone seems to be the next-generation HTC Desire. It has a similar design,  but it ditches the three hardware keys and the optical trackpad in favor of four capacitive buttons. The handset also features a front-facing camera, located above the display. No info on other specs yet.

The second upcoming HTC smartphone appears with both HTC’s, and Verizon’s logo on it. Judjing from the pic it has no hardware buttons. I think, it looks like a Droid incredible, don’t you?

The next 3 unannounced smartphones are China-bound, but they may be available in other countries too.

This one, with a massive display, is currently unnamed and is headed to China Telecom, cause it has the carrier’s logo.

The next one is the HTC A3360 TianShan, most likely for China Mobile.

The third phone is the HTC A3380, which can be seen at HTC China’s official website.

And the last leaked device, which seems to be the successor of the Brew-based HTC Smart, will most likely be called HTC Smart2.

Most likely, some of these smartphones will be officially presented by HTC at MWC 2011 next month, so we’ll keep you updated!

The ”German” HTC 7 Pro is supposed to have a QWERTZ layout keyboard, so we hope O2 will also have the QWERTY version available soon.

We have seen the exclusive white BlackBerry Torch before when it was released in Canada via Rogers. And now it’s awesome the phone appeared somewhere else, cause smartphones in any other color than black are so rare nowadays.

And who knows, perhaps the white Torch will manage to sell well and therefore do something to improve the Torch’s lackluster track record in that department. Or maybe only the upcoming Torch 2 will.

A few days ago Krusell has summed up the 2010 year. And here is the list of the best selling phones of 2010:

1. Apple iPhone 4
2. Nokia 3720 Classic

6. Samsung Galaxy S (I9000)
7. Nokia 6700 Classic
8. HTC Desire
9. Nokia 6303 Classic

The third phone is called Torch 2 and it looks almost the same as its predecessor, save for a new matte silver finish. But it has a lot of upgrades inside. The phone will be powered by a 1.2 GHz processor and will feature 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of bulit-in storage space, a 5-megapixel camera with flash, NFC support, GPS, Bluetooth, tri-band HSPA 14.4 Mbps, quad-band GSM, a 3.2-inch VGA (640×480) capacitive touchscreen, and a 1300 mAh battery. The smartphone will run BlackBerry OS 6.1. It will be 14.6 mm thick.

It is supposed the device will be released by AT&T in the third quarter of this year.

From today and until Friday they offer the 16 GB iPhone 4 for only $147 (compared to the $199.99 that it has been going for ever since its release) and the iPhone 3GS for just $47 (down from $99.99, which is what AT&T charges for it).

As you guess, you can get these phones for such low prices after signing the usual 2-year contract. The iPhone 4 has never been sold cheaper, so don’t miss your chance. Just a week!

Find this kind of great mobile phone deals on Phones4U too.

Besides, 9.3 million Galaxy S smartphones have been sold worldwide, and this series has all the chances to become the first Android devices family to reach 10 million units sold worldwide. It’s just a matter of time!

We have no doubts that people love this phone, but the high sale rates are also reached with the contribution of Samsung’s extensive distribution deals – the phone is offered by a number of operators worldwide.

For the comparison, Apple iPhone series has sold in a total of around 1.8 million handsets in South Korea since being available here from 2009, while the iPhone 4 – in 14 million units from its launch in Summer until the end of October.

You can find great deals on these and other monthly contract phones at Dial-A-Phone.

CDon, one of the most popular online retailers in the country will offer the phone soon for about €345 or $450 on a contract and for about €555 or $730 without contracts.

Optimus 2X has many high-end features: it is the world’s first dual-core Android smartphone, which is based on Nvidia’s Tegra II chip, and that’s why it has got this kind of price. Though we may expect a lower price, when the device becomes available.

The phone is very compact, the dimensions are 92x46x14,5 mm and the weight is 92 grams. It’s a slider with FM-radio, 16GB memory card, 2-megapixel camera, 2.2” QVGA-screen and Bluetooth 2.1.

The first Android 2.3 Gingerbread powered smartphone is expected to become available in the UK at Carphone Warehouse during the next week.

We should remind that the phone is manufactured by Samsung and is another version of the Samsung Galaxy S.

The device is equipped with a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED screen, 16 GB internal memory and 1GHz Hummingbird processor.

The Nexus S has some limitations in the US. First of all, it doesn’t work in AT&T’s network. Besides Best Buy stores do not sell more than 2 devices to a single buyer and Google refused to sell the phone online.

The white version isn’t all white and has the chrome bezel just like the Bold 9700 along with a black mid-section which is kind of a drag.

Like the black version, launched a few weeks ago the white Bold 9780 is priced $149.99 with a 3-year contract or $499.99 without any contracts.

We should remind that this phone is also available via Bell, T-Mobile USA, and Vodafone UK. Moreover these carriers offer better deals than Rogers: Bell sells this phone for $99.99 with a 3-year contract, T-Mobile for $129.99 with a 2-year contract and you can get the Bold for free again with a 2-year contract.

According to some rumors, the red version of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 will be launched soon too, though there is no information when and where exactly.

No word if it is yet available in stores so, if you are after this phone you can buy it here at Roger’s website.

The Chinese fake iPhone 4 is a clamshell with QWERTY keyboard. The upper part of the ”iPhone 4” is fixed on hinges and can be rotated in several directions.

Like most of the modern Chinese ”masterpieces” this device too features a  3,2″ touch screen, two cameras with low resolution, two-slots for SIM cards, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi.

The price is low – 600 yuan or approximately $90.

The smartphone’s keyboard has a trackpad (like the first Motorola Droid) and the keys seem a tad flat – hopefully they’re not terrible to use.

Most likely, the Evo Shift 4G would be officially announced at CES 2011, on January 9, and it should run Android 2.3 Gingerbread- nevermind what the screen in the photo shows, that’s photoshopped anyway (just the screen, because the handset itself is most likely real). The device will be available via Sprint and will support CDMA и WiMAX networks.

According to other rumors, HTC Knight may be the CDMA-version of the HTC Desire Z. In this case, it should have a special mechanism for the opening instead of the usual sliding.

Though only the back side of the handset is white and the front panel is still black like in the original version.

Another strange fact, the phone is launched with Android 2.1, though it will be updated too 2.2 or 2.3 Gingerbread in the future.

The German customers can get the white Galaxy S for for €649 from Samsung directly and for €463.99 unlocked via Amazon Germany.

As for the technical specs We should remind that this phone operates on a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor, and is equipped with a 4 inch super AMOLED touchscreen display, 5 megapixel camera furnishing autofocus and LED flash with HD video recording. The device integrates Google Mobile Services including Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Android Market and more.

The phone will cost you £149.99 SIM-free, but there are also a variety of contracts offered by different UK operators, though you have to sign long-term agreements.

As for the technical specs of the device, we should remind it operates on a 528 MHz processor, is equipped with a 2.8-inch 240×320 touchscreen, a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera, HSDPA support, Wi-Fi 802.11n, GPS, and Bluetooth. It’s also got stock Froyo on board, and updates to future versions of the OS were promised back when the device was unveiled. It remains to be seen, however, if it will ever get a taste of Gingerbread.

The back side of the handset is covered by Acrochordus arafurae skin. In case you don’t know, the acrochordus arafurae is a water snake from New Guinea and northern Australia.

Other than that, the phone is identical to the original Tag Heuer model, featuring a QVGA sapphire crystal main display, a secondary OLED screen, and a 2MP camera.

Fuchsia MERIDIIST will go on sale in the first half of 2011 in TAG Heuer boutiques and authorized outlet stores worldwide.

And now this phone is released in Canada by Mobilicity. The Android based vertical slider costs $199.99 without any contracts.You’ll also get a free Bluetooth headset if you buy this device from Mobilicity.

As for the technical specs of this phone, we should remind that it has 256 MB of RAM, 512 MB of ROM, a 3-inch QVGA (240×320) touchscreen, Wi-Fi, 3G, a 3.5 mm headset jack, 3-megapixel camera, microSD card slot, and it weighs 145 g. 25% of the Spice is made out of “post consumer recycled plastics”, so this one is also for the environmentally-conscious among you.

The top ten in November looks like this:

1. (1) Apple iPhone 4
2. (2) Nokia 3720 Classic
3. (3) Samsung I9000 Galaxy S
4. (4) Nokia C5
5. (-) Nokia N8
6. (7) HTC HD2
7. (8) Nokia E52
8. (9) Nokia 6700 Classic
9. (6) Nokia 6303 Classic
10. (-) HTC Desire HD

() = Last month’s position.

“That iPhone 4 remains in the first place on Krusell’s Top Ten list for November isn’t a big surprise,” says Ulf Sandberg CEO at Krusell. “That Nokia are able to take seven out of ten positions is maybe more of a surprise. Sony Ericsson’s Xperia series and iPhone 3 are out of the list this month. When we present the list for December, I’m sure we will have new models climbing up the list,” Sandberg ends.

We have some photos of the phone, where it is AT&T-branded – so unless the second largest US carrier cancels the launch in the last minute, the device will certainly hit its shelves.

Unfortunately, no information is available on the release date of the smartphone, though I think it’ll be launched in Europe first.

The smartphone runs Symbian^3 (or whatever Nokia wants to call it) and features 4 speakers and an 8MP camera with Flash. It’s the first Symbian-based touchscreen handset that’s making its way to AT&T.

Android 2.3 is the fastest version of Android yet, Google and Samsung said in a joint statement. It has a new interface and an improved keyboard with multitouch support. It includes support for NFC support and VOIP calling. It also includes current Google applications that were found in previous versions of Android.

The device operates on a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor and features 16 GB of internal memory and NFC (Near Field Communications) capabilities, which will allow users to read information from objects like stickers and posters with embedded NFC capabilities. Nexus S will also include two cameras — a 5-megapixel camera on the back, and a front-facing camera. The device will be able to shoot 720p high-definition video at 30 frames per second.

The Nexus S will be released in the US on December 16 and will cost $529 unlocked and $199 with a 2-year contract via T-Mobile. In the UK the phone will be available from December 20 via Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy at a price of 549.95 pounds.

Nexus S official video promo:

Now we have some new photos and videos of this smartphone. Also it became known that the phone features a 5 Mpx
camera with LED flash and there’s a PlayStation icon in the phone’s menu, which will, of course, provide direct access to games.

The announcement of the the PSP phone is expected on December 9, so the handset will likely be among the first ones to come with Android Gingerbread.

Below you can see the new photos:

This could be a prototype, so the final PSP phone may look a little different. Anyway, the two videos are below;

The new Luxor phone combines the “luxury of the ancient Egyptian treasures and innovations of the 21st century.” Three main components contribute to the phone’s $4000 price tag: African blackwood, ceramics and sapphire.

Gresso Luxor’s back panel is made from 200-year old African blackwood, while the case of the handset is manufactured from titanium alloy and coated with high-tech ceramics.

The front part of the phone is decorated with a bezel made of planished steel with black PVD coating, while around the screen there are several 42-carat sapphire crystals.

The keypad is made of sapphire and each key is manually polished and laser etched.

Apart from the fact that the phone is much cheaper than its Las Vegas Jackpot predecessor, which was priced at 1 million dollars, the phone doesn’t come with anything new in terms of specs.

Gresso Luxor specs:

• Network: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900 MHz
• Display: TFT, 262K colors, 240×320 pixels
• Internal memory: 30 MB
• Memory card support: microSD
• Wireless: Bluetooth: 2.0
• 2-megapixel camera
• FM-radio
• The player: MIDI, WMA, WAV, AVI, ASF, WMV
• Support for Java
• Voice
• Battery: 860 mAh
• Talk time: up to 5.4 hours
• Standby time: 300 hours
• Dimensions: 116×46, 5×12 mm
• Weight: 120 grams

The device will cost Rs. 13990 and will be sold via Aircel, which offers both prepaid and postpaid data plans along with the smartphone.

As for the technical specs of the phone we should mention that it’s candybar with a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard, is equipped with a 2.8-inch QVGA display, GPS, Wi-Fi, a BackTrack touch panel, stereo Bluetooth, an FM radio, a 3.5 mm headset jack, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and a microSD card slot. In India a 2GB card will be included in the package.

There are two versions of this phone -   X2-01 (RM-709), and X2-01.1 (RM-717). X2-01.1 (RM-717) is made for North America and has already been approved by the FCC. It’s a quad-band GSM/EDGE phone (no 3G), that’s why the users don’t have to worry about network compatibility or anything like that.

The availability of X2 has not been confirmed yet, but seeing how Nokia introduced the C3 both in the US and Canada, the X2 should be released there too. Probably the phone will be offered via T-mobile, cause C3 is sold via AT&T.

As for the technical specs of this phone, here is a short list for you:

• Networks: GSM/EGSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
• Dimensions: 119.4×59, 8×14, 3 mm
• Weight: 107.5 gr.
• Display: 2.4-inch, 320×240 pixels, displaying more than 262 thousand colors
• Camera: VGA
• FM-radio
• Memory: 55 MB available to the user, microSD slot for memory cards
• Connectivity: Bluetooth v2.1 EDR, 3.5 mm audio jack

On the photo released by the FCC below you can see that Samsung R700 has a touchscreen, a camera, a headset jack and dedicated camera and lock keys.
.
Most likely this will not be an Android-powered smartphone, since its buttons aren’t those required by Google’s mobile OS. As such, the R700 may just be a featurephone intended to get touchscreens into the hands of the (non-smartphone-touting) masses.

Based on the model number and lack of AWS, the R700 could be headed to a carrier such as U.S. Cellular.

According to AndroidWorld the smartphone will be available closer to Christmas holidays. It will cost EUR199 without any contracts.

We also have a video when this phone is compared with the Samsung Galaxy S & iPhone 4 on the example of YouTube video broadcasting. LG-LU3000 doesn’t have any delays, while the iPhone 4 doesn’t even started to play the video during the movie.

LG Optimus Mach really claims to be called the fastest smartphone in the world!

The concept of Social networking through portable devices is already popular among the masses, but the biometric technology will just take it to another level. And with latest innovations in technology, the day isn’t too far when you would be able to do live video chats using your mobile handset on the go.

This phone supports CDMA/EVDO networks and is equipped with a a sliding QWERTY keyboard, a standard, alphanumeric keypad, a 2.4 inch QVGA display, Synchronous GPS, Stereo Bluetooth, music and video players, mobile web, voice dialing, 2MP camera, 100MB of internal memory, and MicroSD card support.

US Cellular offers the Samsung Profile for $39.99 on a contract, after a $50 mail-in rebate. If you want to buy this phone visit this page.

The phones will not look different than the usual N8 and C7, they just come with an eco apps folder such as the educational game, Climate Mission, and other third-party apps, plus a link to the device’s eco-profile – Nokia’s full declaration of the environmental impact of each model.

The user’s guide is limited down to a single page, representing 95% saving in paper, and the packaging is also minimal, just as much as needed to protect the devices during the shipping, and it is 100% recyclable.

Both the phones come with a high-efficiency energy charger to reduce charging times – the devices also remind you to unplug when charging is finished.

Nokia N8 and Nokia C7 are two of Nokia’s most eco-friendly devices ever, both the phones feature an energy-saving mode, a power-efficient AMOLED screen and an ambient light sensor. The phones also are made of innovative materials, such as bio-plastics and bio-paints. Like all other Nokia phones they are free of PVC, BFR (brominated flame retardants) and RFR (chlorinated and brominated compounds and antimony trioxide).

This offer is part of Nokia’s and Telefónica’s “Green Customer Experience” cooperation. Both companies have been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index as leaders in the field of sustainability: Nokia heads the technology sector whilst Telefónica leads the telecommunications sector.

The eco-friendly N8 and C7 will be first launched in Spain, where Telefonica offers services under the Movistar brand. The smartphones will also be avaialble in the UK (O2), Germany (O2), Argentina, Chile and Peru.

The phone also features Wi-Fi and GPS and supports 3G networks.

In India the phone will cost Rs. 26,900, or $588 or EUR440. This price obviously doesn’t include any carrier subsidies.

he interesting part is that Cellular South integrates a fresh tool known as Discover Apps, which allows the handset owners to search for applications that are recommended by Cellular South Discover Center specialists. They comb through the ever increasing list of Android apps on a regular basis. Picking up the best ones, these specialists reduce users’ hassles. Thus, the carrier optimizes the application experience for all its Galaxy S subscribers.

With access to more than 100,000 apps on Android, it is our mission to help our customers find the right apps for them.

The Apex will cost $79.99 with a two-year contract after a $80 mail-in rebate. It will be available on November 19 online and in US Cellular stores.

This is a high-end device and AT&T sells it for $199.99 with a new 2-year contract.

As for the technical specs of this phone, we want to mention the 4-inch Super AMOLED screen with WVGA, 5 Mpx camera with HD-video recording, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. From other WP7 phones it differs by its MicroSD card slot up to 32 GB.
If you want to know more read our Samsung Focus review.

If you like to get this phone, Amazon has a great deal for you: you can buy the device for only $49.99, but you will still need to sign a 2-year contract.

Reportedly, this will be the world’s first dual-core Android smartphone. The smartphone is equipped with an 8 megapixel camera with HD video recording at 1080p. It also features a slot for microSD cards, micro USB port, 1500 mAh battery.

The new smartphone will be released early next year. According to unconfirmed sources, the phone is designed for Verizon and will support LTE networks.

In the video you can see a girl, she’s a fashion designer who’s supposedly out in nature and breaking free. The video demonstrates how the girl takes nature photos, exchanges massages and views PDF files. Only one thing is confusing – a photo of a butterfly! Sorry, but no macro for you. And oh it’s the PDF viewer where you can’t view in full screen.

Anyway, enjoy the nice and inspiring video!

So, this device will be launched in India soon and will cost 450,000 INR or $10,000 ($9,964 to be exact).

The Unique is made of expensive materials, such as 18K gold, ceramic, stainless steel, crocodile leather (on the back), and sapphire crystal (the display). This is the first phone from Versace.

As for the technical specs, the luxury device offers 3G connectivity, Dolby Mobile sound, and a 5MP camera. It will be available in three color versions: black, brown and purple.

According to the last tweet from Nokia India Indian customers should expect the Nokia E7 to hit the stores starting January 2011.The price of the device in India has not been announced yet, but it should be something around 30,000 INR.

we should remind the technical specs of this phone: full QWERTY keyboard, 4 inch AMOLED ClearBlack touchscreen display (360 x 640 pixels), 8MP fixed-focus camera e.t.c.

Since the E7 has been approved by the FCC not long ago, US customers should also expect to see it in stores (or at least online, at Nokia’s Shop) sometime soon.

For more details about this phone you can read our Nokia E7 review.

The new Wave 723, which comes with a leather flip cover, features a 3.2 inch WQVGA touchscreen display, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, Digital Natural Sound Engine, Bluetooth 3.0, 3.5mm headset jack, social networking integration, 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash, and MicroSD card support.

This is not the only mode launched in Germany. Samsung Samsung should also launch the Wave II S8530 in November, but this one will be more expensive – €429.

The phone features a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, a 1GHz processor, 16GB internal storage, 5 megapixel camera with HD recording and lots of connectivity options.

It’s not known yet which version of Android OS will the fashion smartphone run, but most likely it’ll be Eclair.

The smartphone will hit the Giorgio Armani boutiques and some major retailers in Italy, France, the UK, Germany, Dubai, China, Hong Kong, Spain, Russia and the Netherlands in December and will cost EUR700.

There are also some pre-installed Armani apps and suitable wallpapers. You can check the device on video below:

Already there’s talk, however, of it being some sort of HTC tablet or MID, or at least a large-screen device with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

We should remind, that earlier HTC released HTC UMPC shift, runing Windows Vista Business OS and equipped with a QWERTY-keyboard.

Accordindg to it the phone will be availble via T-Mobile USA. The device features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, 1500 mAh battery. The Nexus S has quad-band GSM support like any decent modern smartphone, but its 3G bands include that 1700 MHz one used exclusively for T-Mobile. The other two 3G bands that the Nexus S will support are 900 and 2100 MHz, which means that the exact same SKU can easily be sold in Europe as well (where the predominant 3G band is 2100, followed in some markets by 900).

The Nexus S will have HSPA support, but sadly not of the HSPA+ variety that T-Mobile likes to call 4G. The maximum download speed will be 7.2 Mbps for the Nexus S, with the upload speed being 5.76 Mbps.

The Nexus S will run Android OS, probably Gingerbread.

Unfortunately, details such as processor speed and internal memory space are still unknown.

We guess, the phone will be announced in a few days.

The RIM’s smartphone, which runs BlackBerry OS 6, is available for $124.95 with a 3-year contract, and, course, it’s offered free of contract for  $499.95.

You can buy the 9780 online here at Bell.

The BlackBerry Bold 9780 was also launched via Rogers in Canada a few days ago for $99.99 and $149.99 with a 3-year contract .
The phone will be available via T-Mobile USA starting November 17 too.

For those, who have missed the official announcement, we want to remind the specs of BlackBerry Bold 9780:

• Operating System: BlackBerry OS 6
• Networks: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz or 900/1700/2100 MHz)

Kin One and Kin Two are listed as feature phones in the Verizon road map and will be coming without a data plan. Originally, both Kin phones had required smartphone-like data plans which, in the eyes of many users, were too steep for phones aimed primarily at teens and young adults.

Nobody thought the phones will be on sale again. This time, though, they have slightly different names: the devices will be offered as Kin ONEm and Kin TWOm.

however, changing the names does nor affect the performance of the handsets.So, Kin ONEm is still equipped with a 5-megapixel camera and 4 GB of internal memory, and the Kin TWOm with an 8-megapixel camera and 8 GB memory. Both phones are equipped with QWERTY-keyboards.

Is Verizon really hoping to rekindle interest in the Kins, or is it just trying to clear its inventory? What do you think? How well will the Kins do when they return to the market? Share opinions!

According to BBleaks this new smartphone will be ”entry-level, which means that we could get it for less than $100 with a contract, of course. Moreover, considering tha fact that the Torch 9800 is itself $99.99 on contract at AT&T, we should expect the new phone for for something about $50.

No information is available about the technical specs of the future device, no word yet if the new slider will run BlackBerry OS 6 – although it should.

According to an unconfirmed information, the smartphone will get a SureType-keyboard instead of a QWERTY one, it could look like the mockup seen above.

We should remind, that BlackBerry Torch 9800 was announced yet back in August. It’s a slider with a QWERTY-keyboard.

And despite all the efforts of RIM, the smartphone is not in a high demand even after reducing the cost.

NFC enables users to access features and content without navigating through menus on the handset. When users scan an NFC tag they can initiate calls or texts, open applications and receive content without taking extra actions.

Furthermore, these tags can be customized by users to perform a certain action, or they can be used in commercial applications for access and data capture.

“We approach the design and development process looking at both market needs and a strategy that makes the most of available technologies. NFC is a perfect example of a technology which, when used intelligently and creatively, can deliver real usability benefits that transform the mobile experience,” said Jerome Nadel, EVP Marketing & User Experience, Sagem Wireless.

“The COSY Phone leverages the capabilities of NFC to improve usability for personal use while enabling a growing ecosystem of business applications,” added Nadel.

The phone is equipped with 2.2-inch screen with 240×320 pixels resolution and numeric keypad. The handset supports both 2G and 3G networks.

Other key features of the COSY Phone include: 128 MB internal memory, microSDHC card slot, 1,3-megapixel camera, FM-radio, Bluetooth with 2.1 EDR support, integrated Myriad 7.2.7 browser e.t.c. The phone’s battery provides up to 270 minutes of talk-time and 10 days in stand-by mode. The dimensions of the device are 112×49, 3×12, 99 mm, it weighs 95 grams.

The COSY Phone is now available in France via several operators and mobile retailers, and will hit the UK and Ireland later this month.

Motorola Citrus has several features that distinguish it from other similar phones. Among them is the fact that the 25% of the phone and its packaging are made of post-consumer recycled plastic and Motorola touted the Citrus as an eco-friendly device. But the main ”highlight” of this smatphone is its touchpad BACKTRACK on the back side of the case. This panel allows you to navigate through menus and programs without touching the touch screen.

The phone will retail for $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and two-year Verizon contract.

After measuring the durability of thae hardware of different devices, Square trade reported that after using 12 months both BlackBerrys and iPhone 3GS’ were the least accident prone handsets. RIM’s smartphones had a 6.7% accident rate while the iPhone 3GS had a 9.4% accident rate. HTC and Motorola were tied for third amongst specific OEMs with a 12.2% accident rate. The report lists the overall rate of “other” smartphones as 10.2% and — unsurprisingly — the iPhone 4 fared the worst with a 13.8% rate.

Square Trade also tried to measure the overall reliability of the smartphones. As the company explains: “To arrive at overall failure rates, we looked at and combined both types of failures, accidents and normal malfunctions.” According to the study iPhone 4 was the most reliable smartphone after 12-months of ownership with a 2.1% failure rate followed by the iPhone 3GS and Motorola sets both boasting a 2.3% rate of failure. HTC placed third with a 3.7% failure rate and BlackBerry ended up fourth with 6.3%; the failure rate of “other smartphones” was listed at 6.7%.

Obviously some figures reported were projections, as devices like the iPhone 4 have been available for less than twelve months… but the study is still pretty interesting. Below you see some other highlights from Square Trade.

• The iPhone 4 was the most reliable phone, with 2.1% projected to have a non-accident malfunction in the first 12 months The major makers of Android devices, Motorola and HTC, were also very reliable, with just 2.3% and 3.7%
• BlackBerry and other smart phones were less reliable, with 6.3% and 6.7% failing in the first 12 months of use.
• Accidental damage is responsible for over 75% of smart phone failures. BlackBerry devices had the lowest one-year accident rate at 6.7%, and the iPhone 4 had the highest at 9.4%.
• The iPhone 3GS had the lowest overall failure rates, with just 11.7% failing over the course of a year, and the aggregated pool of other smart phones had the highest failure rate at 16.9%.

Now we have the results for October 2010. According to the company the top-seller phone of the last month is iPhone 4, while the leader of September was Samsung I9000 Galaxy S, which moved into the third position.

Here is the full list of TOP 10 Selling Phones for October 2010 ( () = Last month’s position).

1. (3) Apple iPhone 4
2. (2) Nokia 3720 Classic
3. (1) Samsung I9000 Galaxy S
4. (6) Nokia C5
5. (-) Nokia 2730 Classic
6. (-) Nokia 6303 Classic
7. (4) HTC HD2
8. (9) Nokia E52
9. (10) Nokia 6700 Classic
10. (5) HTC Desire

“Apple is back with iPhone 4 at the top position on Krusell’s Top Seller List for October. The reason for iPhone 4′s third place in September is probably based on Apples failure in meeting the demand for the device. In October the supply has improved both from Apple and from Krusell,” says Ulf Sandberg Managing Director at Krusell. “Moreover it is of interest to point out that even if media and the industry is disparages Nokia, they still have six out of the ten positions on our list. They are still, by far the biggest player in the mobile device industry,” he ends.

VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian announced this during his meeting with students of Yerevan branch of Saint-Petersburg Institute of Foreign Economic Relations, Economics and Law.

“From the day of its establishment, our company is guided by the principle that our activity is based on the needs of the customers, and we make innovative offers, which will mostly meet their needs”, Ralph Yirikian stated.

VivaCell-MTS General Manager introduced the students the programs of the company on establishing 4th generation network by the end of this year.

So, let’s start!

First of all, the dimension and the weight – G2 measures 119.4x61x15.2 mm and weighs 184.3 g, while Epic 4G measures 124x65x14 mm and weighs 155 g.

G2 is equipped with a TFT capacitive touch screen with 16M colors, while Epic 4G has Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen with 16M colors. As for screen pixel, both phones offer the same resolution of 480×800 pixels. But, Epic 4G has a bit larger screen with 4.0 inches size, while G2 gives you only 3.7 inches.
There can not be any doubts here, Super Amoled is much better than the traditional TFT screen.

As for the camera both the devices feature a 5 MP camera with 2592×1944 pixels, autofocus and LED flash. But Epic 4G offers such features as geo-tagging touch-focus, face and smile detection. Either G2 or Epic 4G capture videos in 720p at 30fps.

Samsung Epic 4G is a CDMA phone that arrives at CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, while T-Mobile G2 is a GSM phone with 3G network, HSDPA at 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA at 2Mbps. Which phone runs a better speed? We see the G2 phone is a bit faster. Other than that technology, both phones offer the same Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, and microUSB v2.0.

Epic 4G is an old phone and runs on an outdated OS Android 2.1, while G2 runs on Android 2.2

Samsung Epic 4G has higher processor clock speed with ARM CortexA8 1GHz processor, while G2 gives you Qualcomm MSM 7230 800 MHz processor. But G2′s processor is a newer generation processor with a smaller chip and conbined with the new GPU. The performance is better than Epic 4G’s processor.

T-Mobile G2 is equipped with 4 GB and 512 MB RAM as to internal memory and 32 GB additional memory through microSD and 8 GBcard included, while Epic 4G has 512 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM and 32 GB external memory only.

T-Mobile G2 offers you 430 hours of standby time and 6 hours and 40 minutes of talk time, while Epic 4G hasn’t confirmed yet how long the phone will survive for everyday use.

After this short comparison we decided that G2 is better and if you want to know more read the full T-Mobile G2 review.

The device supports GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A 800/1900 MHz networks, is equipped with a 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen with 480×800 pixels resolution, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, 576 MB RAM, 512 MB of internal memory and a slot for MicroSD/MicroSDHC cards.

The handset’s frame is “precision CNC machined from Damascus steel”, this giving every phone a “different and unique” look.Damascus steel, as Mobiado is happy to inform us, is “a technique of hot-forging steel, originally used in 1100 to 1700 AD to create sword blades renowned for their sharpness and strength”

The buttons and screws of the device are also made of steel, and the front and back plates are made of sapphire crystal.

As for the technical specs, the phone supports 3G (850/2100 MHz), is equipped with a 2-inch screen, music player, Bluetooth, microUSB, 2-megapixel camera and 1 GB of internal memory.

The price of Mobiado Professional 105 Damascus is not known yet.

I must say, iPhone 4 pursues a whole series of failures. First the prototype was lost in a bar and photographed from all sides just before the official announcement, then the media has been discussing the loss of the signal, after it surfaced a problem with proximity sensor, and from time to time users reported cracks on the glass panels.

After all this, the ”applers”, all appearance, understand that it’s easier to cancel the white iPhone and the first step has been taken – the device dissappeared from the Apple’s online store.

The smartphone’s name has just pupped up on the said HTCSense.com online destination, where it can be seen next to the already made official HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z.

Not much is known about this new smartphone and there are no photos leaked,  so we can just suggest what it will be all about.
Most likely it will not take too long before HTC decides to make the Mecha official.

Anyways, we should wait for more info to be able to say anything, especially since even the image used for Mecha on HTCSense.com seems to be pointing to another device (the older Hero).

According to Nokia India, the C7 is available “across all NPCs (Nokia Professional Centers) in India”.

The new Symbian smartphone costs 19,490 INR or about $440 in India.

The phone features a 3MP camera with flash, and its dimensions are 4.21”x2.16”x0.63”.The keyboard has a navigational D-pad, and LG has decided to go with a non-standard 2.5mm audio jack.

The latest version of the popular handset, the iPhone 4, was released in June, but the white model was delayed first to July, then to the end of the year and now to early next year.

“We’re sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone again,” Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said, but, however, she declined to explain the reasons of the delay.

Apple has never said exactly why it is so troublesome to produce the white version of the iPhone 4. The company has only mentioned that the white model was “more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected.”

Apple-focused blogs have been guesssing the reasons for months, suggesting problems with color-matching to an issue with the device’s backlight.

We should say, that color aside, Apple is not having any trouble selling its smartphone. Tha black iPhone has fueled Apple’s growth over the past few years.

The device is a slider, will have an access to the online shop Sony Marketplace, where special games for this device are available. The specs leaked in August have been confirmed. This means the phone is based on 1GHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, is equipped with a 3,7″ or 4,1″ display, 512 MB RAM, 1 GB internal memory and a slot for microSD cards.

The official announcement of PlayStation Phone is scheduled on 2010, though we think most likely it will be postponed to 2011.

According to some sources it may be the CDMA-version of HTC Desire Z, which was announced for the European and Asian markets.

The device from RIM did not initially claimed to be the ”killer” of iPhone 4G. The promotion of this smartphone on the market was hardly noticeable and was coincided  with a scandal. Let me remind that the European Commission recommended not to use “blackberry” smartphones, as it may endanger national security.

Well, now RIM representatives have to change their sale strategies. One of the promotional moves was the appearance of offers on the BlackBerry Torch on Amazon.com for $99 which is twice lower than its official price. However, according to iSuppli this will not become a competitive advantage and ”blackberries” will have to search for another marketing solution.

Also some specs of Vertu Constellation Quest become known. The device is equipped with a Wi-Fi module, 3,5-mm audio jack, camera with dual LED flash, microSD slot. The package includes 32 MB memory card.

We should remind, that each example of the Constellation Quest is handmade. The device can be made of stainless steel (polished or matte) or 18-karat gold.

The new webOS 2.0 comes with a “real” multitasking, which allows you to open multiple applications and switch between them.
Another new feature – support for Just Type, which allows to compose a text message, email, statuses for social networks and so on without opening the relevant application.

HP Synergy will allow to integrate various means of communication, particularly, Facebook, Google, Microsoft Exchange, LinkedIn and Yahoo!.

In addition, when connected to the charging station Touchstone, the device automatically turns on an app called Exhibition, which displays the to-do list or, for example, photo-slideshow (depending on the settings). Also webOS 2.0 supports the beta versions of Adobe Flash Player 10.1.

As for the Palm Pre 2, it’s a slider with a touchscreen and a QWERTY-keyboard. It will be released in France via the operator SFR on October 22. A few months later it will appear in the U.S. via Verizon Wireless and in Canada.
The cost of the smartphone has not been announced yet.

the phone will hit the shelves in the beginning of November. It will available in Russia and other CIS countries, as well as in as well as in Southeast Asia, India, China, Africa and the Middle East.

The price has not been announced.

I must say, that the manufacturer has been so consistent, that equipped the device with two slots for SIM cards, and, of course, two headsets are included in the package.

So, you can get rather a good device for just 2,599 rupees (about $60) – just what young and not rich couple needs: 1Mpx camera with flashlight, FM-radio, a slot for memory cards up to 16 GB, 1500 mAh battery and support for GPRS.

So romantic!

The device runs BlackBerry OS 6 and is equipped with a 5 Mpx camera with autofocus and flash, 512 MB of RAM, additional display, MicroSD slot. The main display is 360×400 pixels resolution.

ARM President Tudor Brown is the one who confirmed that Android 4.0 would be called Ice Cream, and there are little chances that he would be mistaken, especially since the company’s processors are being used in over 95 of all mobile phones out there.

All other details about Android 4.0 are being kept in a secret, however.

Ice Cream most likely won’t make its debut until mid-2011. Gingerbread is expected to be released before the end of the year and Honeycomb in early 2011.

Google has a history of naming its software revisions after desserts, so far we have had Cupcake (1.5), Donut (1.6), Eclair (2.0) and FroYo (2.2), the latest has been available since May and is due to make way for Gingerbread when the company decides to release it to the world.

The handmade bezel contains approximately 500 individual flawless diamonds that total more than 100 carats; there’s 53 additional diamonds in the back, and the main navigation button is made of platinum, holding a single cut 7.4 carat pink diamond. If you know diamonds, all of this probably means something to you; to us, it just sounds really, really expensive.

Only two examples of this phone will ever be made. The customer is an Australian businessman. And it’s not surprising. With this ridiculous price tag for the device, there aren’t many people out there that can afford it. There are many that can afford spending $8 Million, but not on a smartphone.

6. Samsung Focus (4”, USA)
7. Samsung Omnia 7 (4”, “Europe)
8. LG Optimus 7 (3.8″, worldide)
9. LG Quantum (3,5″, USA)

The prices of the devices without a contract with the operator are unknown. Steve Ballmer said only that the majority of the smartphones, designed for the U.S. market, would be sold for $200 with a contract.

The music publishing companies that represent rap artist Eminem have filed a multimillion-dollar suit against Apple Inc. for selling downloads of Eminem’s music on iTunes online music service without compensating them. The suit could have ramifications for the current compensation plan that online music services have for divvying up profits between record labels and the publishing companies that hold rights to artists’ songs.

Typically, Apple charges US$0.99 a song for music downloaded from iTunes, and then compensates the artist’s record label a percentage of that sum. The label then will pay the music publishers of the artist a small portion of that sum.

But the suit, filed Monday in a U.S. District Court in Detroit by Eight Mile Style LLC and Martin Affiliated LLC, Eminem’s music publishers, attacks Apple. The publishers claim they are not receiving compensation from Universal Music Group, the record label that publishes Eminem’s albums.

Apple declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Eight Mile Style and Martin are requesting that the court order Apple to stop selling Eminem’s music on iTunes and are seeking profits Apple has earned from selling Eminem’s music. Alternatively, the companies seek statutory damages of up to $150,000 per act of infringement, which could tally up to millions of dollars. They are also seeking damages for “suffering” in excess of $75,000.

It is not the first time Eminem has had a disagreement with Apple. In 2003, the company used Eminem’s #1 song ‘Lose Yourself’ in an ad that appeared on MTV for three months, as well as on their official website.

We should remind that Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 is a mid-level smartphone in monoblock form factor, is equipped with a 3-inch touch screen. It is focused mainly on mobile entertainment. Most likely, the device will be relatively inexpensive, but its price has not been officially announced yet.

As for the Sony Ericsson Cedar, it is a representative of the “green” series GreenHeart. It is a classic candybar with 2.2-inch display and a numeric keypad. The device is simple enough, but it is made of recycled plastic,  is equipped witha battery with reduced power consumption, compact package with a water based paints and special software.

So, Motorola Droid 2 Global has a processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and dual LED flash, a sliding QWERTY-keyboard, 8 GB of internal memory, microSD slot. Previously it was reported that the device is equipped with a 3.7 inch display with a 480×854 pixels resolution.

Apparently, the smartphone will be available to subscribers of the U.S. operator Verizon. The release date of Motorola Droid 2 Global is not specified, but the sales of the device should start soon.

Those who had a chance to see the Nokia E7-00 ”live” mention the high-quality of the screen, according to them the 4” screen of ClearBlack technology performs really deep black color and can easily compete with Super AMOLED screens.

The QWERTY-keyboard looks reliable and easy to operate. The gap key is in the right place – at the center. The slider opens by pressing the two thumbs at the bottom, which is a bit unusual. The body is made of anodized aluminum.

Nokia E7-00 will go on sale before the end of this year, the price will be around 495 euros.

This is not the first official action against mobile phone technology on Android: Apple previously sued HTC due to few smartphones that run Android and several devices based on Windows Mobile.

The American manufacturer of mobile devices is accused of violating nine patents in the smartphones running Android. The patents relate to various built-in functions of thesmartphones, including the synchronization of email, calendar and contacts, planning events, applications, “reminders” about the changed signal strength and battery level.

Synchronize email, calendar and contacts used in many smartphones. Moreover, in this case would be better to sue the supplier of the operating system (in this case – Google), and not the manufacturer of smartphones. Nevertheless, while Motorola has not signed any license agreements with Microsoft, the latter has a good chance of winning in the court.

“We are disappointed that Microsoft prefers to compete over old patents rather than new products,” a Google spokesman said. “While we are not a party to this lawsuit, we stand behind the Android platform and the partners who have helped us to develop it.”

Horacio Gutierrez, deputy general counsel in charge of Microsoft’s intellectual property, said, “Our action today merely seeks to ensure respect for our intellectual property rights infringed by Android devices,” in a blog post on the company’s website.

“Judging by the recent actions by Apple and Oracle, we are not alone in this respect.”

The growing Indian market is one of the most attractive for mobile phone manufacturers: new devices regularly appear there.

Star Duos is the first phone in India with two SIM cards, supporting 3G and 2G networks.

Samsung Star Duos is equipped with a 3.2-inch touch-screen, TouchWiz 2.0 interface, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, as well as SNS and FindMusic services support, an application for document viewing, FM-radio, 9 regional languages, 250 MB of internal memory and slot for microSD memory cards (up to 16 GB).

Altek Leo is the first camera phone equipped with a 14-megapixel digital camera with 3x optical zoom and HD-video recording. Also, the device is equipped with Xenon flash and LED backlight for movies.

Among other specs of the Leo is a 3.2-inch multi-touch screen with WVGA, Android 2.1 (Eclair) OS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, as well as GSM/GPRS/EDGE and 3G networks with HSPA. In addition, the phone has a built-in accelerometer, digital compass, and a slot for microSD memory cards.

Altek Leo will hit the European shelves in the first quarter of 2011.

Thus, formally N8 started selling late in the third quarter (September 30), but most users will be able to buy the device only in the 4 th quarter, which begins on Oct. 1.

The price of the N8 is different for different countries.

One of such devices is the new concept called Revive, made by Kinneir Dyufort. The interface of the phone is designed by Duncan Shotton. the Revive is very simple to use, and its components can be replaced almost immediately.

This feature allows the owners to use this phone for years, if there is someone who wants to use the same phone for longer periods.

Revive has round forms and touch interface. Also the concept is equipped with a 10Mp camera with 3x zoom. The case is decorated with leather.

But will the device interest the phone manufacturers? I doubt.

LG XOXO is equipped wit a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, Wi-Fi module. The phone has a built-in multimedia player with DivX codec support. The handset will be available in two color versions: white and purple.

In South Korea LG XOXO will cost about $600. Most likely, the phone will not appear in other countries.

LG E900 is equipped with a Qualcomm processor with a frequency of 1 or 1.3 GHz, 3.7-inch capacitive touch screen with WVGA resolution, 5-megapixel digital camera with LED flash and HD-video recording, and runs Windows Phone 7.

The Czech resource, which published the photos and the video of LG E900, calls the device Optimus 7. But it’s not known yet, if the this is the final name of the device or not.

The size of the HD7 a little bit more than the HTC HD2 (this smartphone went on the European market in November of last year with Windows Mobile 6.5 OS).

Among other specifications, we note the 4.3-inch TFT-screen with a WVGA resolution, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and dual LED flash, the Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz Qualcomm processor, 576 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM and MicroSD memory card.

No one can tell about the product better than its developer, so we offer to get acquainted with HTC Desire HD and the updated interface through the official demo video lasting about 7 minutes.

Fortunately, some “live” photos leaked, where you can see the engraved name – HTC HD3. However, it remains unclear why the device appears as HTC HD7 in the catalogs of some mobile operators.

Whatever it is named, we will have a candybar with 4.3″ touch screen with 800×480 pixels resolution, 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor,  8 GB internal memory, 5-megapixel camera with dual LED-flash and 720p HD-video recording.

The metal insert around the camera is not only a decorative part, but also serves as a base. The back side is made of metal. HTC HD3/HD7 isn’t supposed to be a light one.

It’s a candybar with a full QWERTY-keyboard. Despite the visual ”bulk” the device is thick enough – 11.9mm. The phone is also equipped with a 2.4-inch screen with QVGA resolution, a slot for microSD memory cards and 2 MP camera.

LG Town C300 doesn’t support 3G networks. Instead it has an MP3 player, FM-radio with integrated antenna and Push E-mail feature, which allows to deliver e-mail massage to the phone immediately.

The price of this model is very attractive. It will cost 60EUR in the UK and 80EUR in other European countries. The release date of the device is not announced yet.

Generally, Motorola Droid 2 World Edition is almost identical to the original version, the only difference is the mobile networks they support. Moreover, the Droid 2 World Edition will be available in two color versions: black and white.

In the leaked photos you can see the device with a white back cover. Droid 2 World edition is equipped with a 3.7-inch display, sliding QWERTY-keyboard, 5-megapixel camera and other features and other features similar to the original Droid 2.
In the presented screenshots you can see that CPU speed of this model is higher than the original version – 1.2 GHz.

It is supposed that Motorola Droid 2 World Edition will be available soon for $249 with a 2-year contract.

According to Eldar Murtazin, Nokia is lying. The devices are not ready and that’s why they have been delayed. All inside Nokia know this.

Nokia N8 is the phone, that everyone is waiting for. Why? According to Dial A phone, because ”It’s the first Nseries phone to be released following the N97 Mini in September last year, it will debut Symbian^3 and it will be the first Nseries to use a solely touch-based interface”

However we hope, that the long awaited smartphone will be released soon and we can get it.

The South Korean company announced the first million in July, but it was the worldwide sale statistics.

Still, at least the delay is only a short one, and hopefully it won’t dampen the enthusiasm towards a phone

Although there is short time left till the announcement, it’s not clear yet, which OS will be installed – Symbian^3 or MeeGo.

I’m surprised that not much is available about this phone. It seemed, that being the first company announced WP7 device, LG should have given enough details, but the company provided only a couple of photos and a few words about DLNA opportunities. Even the Windows logo has been removed from the smartphone.

Anyways, we almost have no doubt that Optimus 7 is the same as earlier noticed LG Panther.

Most likely, Optimus 7 will be available for sale by the end of this year.

Enjoy the video:

First of all, the device should be very thin, but so, that it would allow to put a sensory volume control button on its left side. And by the way, the users will be able to control the volume by moving their finger from the top to the bottom and the opposite.

in addition, iPhone 5 should support 4G networks, which will allow to download files at speeds up to 100 Mb/s. The handset should have the same wonderful retina display with adjustable backlighting and a more powerful camera – 10.2 MPG. The memory should be 32 or 64 GB.

Will Apple realize this concept? Just wait!

The technical specifications of the phone are not available, we only know that the device will support GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA networks.

The first rumors about this phone leaked yet back in 2009. It was known that the Trophy will run Windows Mobile 6.5, will be equipped with a QWERTY-keyboard, 3″ screen with a 640×480 pixels resolution, Qualcomm MSM7227 600 MHz processor, 256 MB of RAM and a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus.

Maybe, HTC has decided to hold the smartphone untill the release of Windows Phone 7 and adapt it for this OS.

The Huawei Ideos is not a high end device by any stretch of the imagination, but aims to cater to the low end of the smartphone market, where not many Android-powered offerings have gone before.
