HTC Touch Dual Windows Mobile Phone
2008-01-15 14:05:00
When HTC launched the original Touch phone in June, they beat Apple to the launch of a small form factor touch screen phone by a couple of months.We liked the original touch for its small size, interface and inclusion of Wi-fi, but found it a little fiddly enter text using the on screen keyboard. HTC seemed to have listened to the feedback and have now launched the Touch Dual, a similar sized device but with the addition of a slide out keypad at the bottom of the device. The Dual is currently available only through Orange.At first glance, the Touch Dual looks a very similar form factor to the original Touch, but when placed side by side, you realise that the device is slightly longer and narrower, as well as being a millimetre or two thicker to allow for the sliding keyboard. The 4 way rocker pad and selector button remain on the front of the device below the screen, along with call pick up and drop buttons. The camera button found on the original device is also there on the side, alon ...

LG Prada phone to launch in silver
2008-01-14 14:16:00
LG's Prada phone, launched in March 2007, was one of the mobile phone success stories of last year selling over 700,000 handsets.Evidently hoping to sustain that success throughout the coming year as well, LG in Korea has announced that the LG-KE850 will launch in silver to complement the already available black version.The only difference, other than the colour and accessories, revealed at this stage is that the new silver Prada will apparently boast improvements to the touchscreen Qwerty keyboard software.It's being reported that the silver LG Prada Phone will launch across Europe in 18 countries at the same time, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. ...

No iPhone for China Mobile, This Time for Good
2008-01-14 08:54:00
China Mobile have been discussing to bring the iPhone on the Chinese market since November 2007. At a given moment, the discussions stopped, but the fact seemed possible at the end of the last year. However, now it's clear that China Mobile will not be an iPhone carrier, as the two companies have officially called off the negotiations.Apparently, the deal went down because Apple wanted a bigger share form the sales than China Mobile offered, which is no surprise, since Apple lost other negotiations for the same reason in the past. Both Apple and China Mobile's stocks declined with a few percents after the news about the discussions' ending surfaced.With more than 360 million customers, China Mobile is the largest mobile operator in the world, so, if the discussions with Apple had lead to an agreement, the iPhone global sales would have surely bloomed. And this despite the handset's price (about $500), which is quite high for the normal Chinese user. But even if, let's say, only 1% ...

CES 2008: LG Viewty 5.0-Megapixel Camera Phone
2008-01-13 04:59:00
Viewty(LG KU990) is still not available in the States, it was given prime position at the LG booth next to the live DJ, with multiple units mounted around a large rotating animated robotic looking display. Viewty is a 5.1 megapixel quad band GSM camera phone. It boasts low-light capabilities, high-speed video recording (120fps), direct-to-YouTube uploading, a DivX player and handwriting recognition. The menu navigation is intuitive, the camera functionality extensive and styling minimal with an understated matt-black finish. Only criticism aside from the name (it's a viewty) is the missing lens protection, although it will be a while before we see that addressed in camera phones. ...

CES 2008: LG Watch Mobile Phone
2008-01-13 04:48:00
Dick Tracy would be proud. At LG’s booth we spotted this concept watch phone behind glass (thus the blurry pics). While I was peppering the product rep with questions, about a half dozen people asked when the device would be available, and each time he said that LG had no plans to bring the watch to market. Hmmm, maybe LG should rethink its stance on this product. Here’s the deal with watch phones. They sound futuristic-chic on paper, but they’re just not practical. LG’s concept is a bit different than previous attempts. It has a built-in speaker, but it also has integrated Bluetooth so you can can gab without having to hold your wrist up to your mouth. You can also view text messages on the concept watch’s huge display (I asked if it was OLED but no one knew the answer). There’s even a little scroll wheel on the bottom of the watch so you can send canned or full text messages, as well as call up contacts. I also found out that the concept rides on GSM, which means one wou ...

Asus Launches GPS-Powered P527 Smart Phone
2008-01-13 04:39:00
We’ve never been too keen on smart phones sans a QWERTY keyboard, but the Asus P527 could prove tempting for road warriors who want a PDA and GPS navigator in one sleek form factor. Especially intriguing is the Travelog feature, which allows owners of this candybar to record their travel routes and export them to Google Earth. Another perk is Location Courier, which can send your GPS position via SMS to five preset phone numbers–good for emergencies. You don’t get 3G data (it’s EDGE only) but at least there’s Wi-Fi on board. This is the first Asus cellular product to launch in the U.S., and we’ll be keeping an eye out for exact pricing as the P527 gets closer to launch. ...

CES 2008: Motorola ROKR E8 and Z10 - Short Review
2008-01-13 04:21:00
Motorola takes music phones to a new level with the ROKR E8, which uses innovative ModeShift technology to transform this glossy handset into a music player. With the touch of a button the perfectly flat virtual dialpad disappears and is replaced by music playback controls, and they feel like real buttons because of the amazing work Motorola has done to improve haptics technology. A variable-speed FastScroll navigation wheel makes it simple to scroll through the ROKR E8’s menus by sliding your thumb, as well as up to 1,500 songs stored on the 2GB of memory. And the sound quality rivals what you would expect from standalone music players, whether you’re listening through traditional earphones (plugged into the 3.5mm jack) or the powerful speaker.Just when you thought Motorola only knew how to make RAZRs in different flavors, the company busts out two multimedia phones that truly impress, one a music-focused handset that morphs personalities based on how you’re using it and the oth ...
