It’s not the Chocolate, but it’s still sweet. The new LG VX8610 , also known as the Verizon Decoy, is said to be arriving as soon as June 16th.
So what’s the big deal with this new slider that has everybody talking? It is the first phone to have a built in removable Bluetooth earpeice on the backside of the phone.
No it’s not extra, it comes included at no extra cost.
This device is definately raising the bar on slider phones. The navigation is based around a wheel similar to the Blackberry and it comes packed with a 2-megapixel camera, a microSD slot and support for Verizon V-CAST music and video services.
Their has been some more breaking information about the new features in the upcoming 3G iPhone from Apple.
I remember when I got my iPhone the first week it came out, the download speeds used to be a lot faster when I was browsing the web or using YouTube. Within a few weeks after that, their was noticeable difference in speed. BoyGeniusReport noted that prior to the rush of iPhones, the Edge network was getting around 200-250Kbps. I think anyone who has an iPhone now can tell you it is a lot slower than that today. That’s where 3G comes in.
The new 3G iPhone offers a drastic improvement on download speeds, possibly up to 1500Kbps.
Think less Klaatu Barata Nikto and more along the lines of the ubiquitous cell phone development platform known as Google Android.
Google recently took some time to demo their new Android mobile phone platform, giving many expectant users a taste of what’s to come.
Android is based on the open source Linux OS, aims to be the premiere cell phone software platform, allowing for open access and date transmission across carriers. Google envisions a cell phone market that works just like the Internet market does now, with a free flow and exchange of information available at your fingertips. You pay a flat fee and e-mail, SMS, web-browsing, along with any number of functions and applications will be available to you. (more…)
Let’s face it, we see slim phones all the time. But to be just .39 inches thick and to be packed with features, Samsung is definitely making a statement to the competition. Just released hours ago, this slim metallic candy bar shaped phone is making it’s way into our lives.
The Samsung Soulb is truly a phone in a class of its own. (more…)
A dutch website has posted photos online of what is supposedly the next generation 3G iPhone. The phone has a white finish in back, with a more curved design. The added curves are reportedly to accommodate the larger battery required to support the upcoming 3G functionality.
The pictures only give us some details about what to anticipate for the exterior of the phone. Not much has been confirmed by Apple about the next generation iPhone, but their are some features which are really likely to be included. (more…)
Available exclusively on Sprint, Samsung is ready to launch its challenger to the iPhone, a slick little phone they like to call the Instinct.
The Instinct is very similar to the iPhone in that it is a large touchscreen device that features apps high end users would expect, like full internet browsing, visual voicemail, GPS, a 2.0 MP camera and multimedia playback.
However, a few things set it apart from iPhone. It has haptic response, search, voice commands, dedicated home, back and phone buttons. It also features a Micro-SD memory expansion slot, and apps that can be rearranged on the home screen.
Research In Motion (RIM) is going to release a touchscreen variant of their BlackBerry smart phone, known as the BlackBerry Thunder (or BlackBerry 9500), to compete with Apple’s iPhone.
The release is scheduled for the third quarter of this year, which is the same time that the 2nd Generation iPhone is speculated to be released.
The BlackBerry Thunder will support CDMA and EV-DO for the US along with 4G data technology known as LTE. Outside the U.S. it will support GSM, EDGE, EVDO and HSDPA.
It is supposed to be exclusive to Verizon Wireless here in the U.S. similar to how Apple’s iPhone is exclusive to AT&T. (more…)
Perhaps the thought of carrying around a miniature projector in your pocket evokes childhood memories of Princess Leia pleading with Obi-Wan for help through a hologram, but Samsung plans to capitalize on 3M’s new mini projectors by rolling them out with new phones later this year.
What’s not clear is whether these projectors will come as a plug-in add on, or built into the phones themselves.
Currently, the size of the projectors makes them about as big as the cameras in the camera phones many of us currently carry.
Consumers might not appreciate it either way, as the component is expected to retail for anywhere from $200 to $400. (more…)
Yesterday LG announced that the new LG HB620T will be delivering live streaming video with its new Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) support; LG is one of the first companies offering DVB on handheld devices. With a built in TV tuner and antenna, you can enjoy all your favorite shows on the go and even stream live multimedia. This pager sized phone is small enough to go anywhere.
This gadget comes with standard Bluetooth, a 2 Megapixel camera, a digital music player, a 2” screen, a microSD expansion slot and of course Digital Video Broadcasting. And with LG’s new high-speed HSDPA data network support, browsing the web should be a piece of cake with a max download speed of 7.2 Mbps. (more…)
Smart phone maker RIM has announced their latest BlackBerry incarnation, dubbed the BlackBerry Bold. It has a slightly different design from the previous ones – which are fairly common in the mobile phone industry. The release tells us that the Bold’s frame is satin and chrome and the backplate is a leather-like plastic. Hmmm… Too bad we haven’t got a sample to confirm that yet.
The Bold (also known as model number 9000) is claimed to have the best display among the Blackberry line-up. The half-VGA (480×320 resolution) LCD (thats whay they call it) promises vibrant and razor sharp images.
In terms of storage, it comes with 1GB internal memory, expandable through a microSD/SDHC memory card slot, which is accessible from a side door. The usual Blackberry applications can also be found here. For connectivity and messaging, the Bold is all over it with tri-band HSDPA, WiFi, and quad band GSM network support. (more…)
