Nokia N97 - Review, Demo Video and Feature List
Nokia n97 is an Nseries handset, but the N97 carves a new space in the otherwise blurred realm between smart phone and laptop - a product built on a foundation of rock solid mobile principles, Nokia innovations, and tangible new technologies, pushed to the extreme and embodied in a slimline pocket shell.
The feature list about the phone is as follows
The most stand-out feature of the N97 is its full QWERTY keyboard, hidden behind a 3.5-inch wide screen 16:9 touch display that tilts smartly above the keys. Both control methods neatly coexist and are tailored to ensure every experience, be it messaging, social, entertainment-focused or otherwise, are manageable via the most instinctive physical tool set available. The touchscreen promises to be exploited to full effect, even when inactive, courtesy of a new home screen that automatically sucks in live information via custom widgets sat on a S60 5th Edition backbone.
The N97 has a 32GB of on-board storage, double that of any mobile device currently in existence, and can take up to another 16GB via microSD, enabling it to become a portable multi-media computer with 48GB memory. Use this for music, movies, photos and N-Gage games or whatever you like. And an important point which should be kept in mind with multimedia mobile devices is the battery life. Nokia N97 promises to kick out up to 37 hours of music and 4.5 hours of video.(WOW)
Using A-GPS, N97 is automatically senses where it is at any given time. The benefit being that you'll be able to tap into local services with ease and share your social location with friends minus any extra fiddling or fuss.
A 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens and dual LED flash, GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, stereo Bluetooth and a 3.5mm headphone jack are other features of the phone.

A Gun Camouflaged as a Mobile Phone
A Gun Camouflaged as a Mobile Phone
This is mobile (cell phone) that appears to be like any ordinary phone from the outside but is in fact also a .22 calibre gun. Its a properly working phone that can be used to make and receive calls and not one of those gimmicky phones merely designed to hide its main purpose - the gun. I would assume that in this case the main purpose is probably the phone, or both in equal measure.
Inside the phone there are 4 barrels and pins with bullets. The gun is able to fire these shots in quick succession as the video below demonstrates. The keypad on the phone works as trigger for firing. I must say it was quite discomforting watching that even if it was only a demonstration.
I would assume a product like this would be banned in the UK and much of Europe, however, it may be available to be bought in the US and other countries freely where gun ownership is much more readily accessible, although I am not totally sure.
My worry is that if a product like this openly available, it would appeal to teenagers which could have really dangerous repercussions.
With enough gun problems as it is, especially with teenagers, I, for one, am not too keen on guns camouflaged as mobile and other fancy gadgets. To me, this is glamourising something we really need control of, especially in light of the spate of shootings in colleges and shopping centres across America recently that have been headlining the news. Its reassuring to know that a gadget like this is banned in most places though.

iPhone Clone Known As iOrgane
Could this be the closest possible iPhone clone to date? Known as the iOrgane (I'm not sure if the typo is done on purpose) complete with a somewhat misshapen Apple logo to reflect the new "organe" fruit, there is not much information on the handset specifications but it is a hoot to look at from behind. I wonder what Apple's legal eagles have to say about this - will they bring them to court or actually let them go easily?

* 5 hours talk time and 300 hours standby time
* Stainless steel keys and sapphire crystal screen

I wonder whether it will boot up faster than other modern phones, after all, Ferraris are supposed to be a red blur when accelerating.

OpenMoko GTA02 To Look Like Neo FreeRunner
OpenMoko GTA02 To Look Like Neo FreeRunner
OpenMoko's upcoming GTA02 Android-powered handset will somewhat resemble their previous effort, the Neo FreeRunner. Word on the street has it that the GTA02 will feature the following :-
* 2.8" 640 × 480 touch screen display
* Wi-Fi connectivity
* Bluetooth support
* Three-axis accelerometer
* 400-500MHz processor
* 128MB RAM
* 256MB NAND Flash
* A-GPS or GPS
* 4-in-1 laser pen
Still no 3G with this, which could prove to be a fatal flaw since cell phones are moving towards Web-based applications as well. Well, at least you have a cool 4-in-1 laser pen to go along with it.

Canon New IXUS and PowerShot Models - Canon Fashion Fray
CANON, a favourite among amateur and professional photographers, is about to gain a new fan base with its new IXUS and PowerShot models that come in colours other than standard-issue silver. The IXUS 80 IS comes in pink, blue, two shades of brown, and silver, while the Powershot A470 are available in yellow, green, red, blue and grey.
Canon harnessed the latest technologies to pack the diminutive IXUS 80 IS with a host of features including Canon’s DIGIC III imaging processor, 3x zoom and 8 megapixel CMOS sensor, which support high-resolution prints up to A2 size. The brand new Motion Detection Technology and high-speed ISO 1600 means an end to blurred images.
“With five unique colours, the IXUS 80 IS embodies our dedication to creating best-in-class cameras, while catering to the individuality of our customers,” says Andrew Koh, Director and General Manager of the Consumer Imaging and Information Division at Canon Singapore.
“The PowerShot A470 continue the PowerShot legacy of cameras that effortlessly merge advanced photographic functions, convenience and affordability in one product,” he adds. “Our new PowerShot cameras empower users with more creative shooting options while remaining robust and lightweight.”
The IXUS 80 IS incorporates new technology that makes capturing clear and vivid images even easier. By introducing a Motion Detection function linked to the camera’s High ISO Auto mode, the IXUS 80 IS detects if subjects are stationary or moving and automatically adjusts to the ideal ISO setting for razor sharp images. The high-speed ISO 1600 setting delivers sharp images even in low-light conditions or when taking fast-moving subjects. For even more detailed focusing, the IXUS 80 IS features an advanced AF-Point Zoom function. By half pressing the shutter button, users can zoom in on the desired subject’s face to view their expression close-up before taking the photo.
The new IXUS 80 IS comes with 18 shooting modes covering a wide range of scenarios – including a new Sunset scene mode – that optimises image results under a variety of shooting conditions.
At high resolution 7.1 megapixel and 3.4x optical zoom, the PowerShot A470 delivers quality performance with complete functionality in a compact package. It is also equipped with 14 shooting modes to cover most photographic scenarios, including a new Sunset scene mode for great landscape images. User can also move in close to the subject with the 1cm Super Macro incorporated. The vertical shutter release adds more fun shooting photos in portrait layout.
PowerShot A470 also incorporates a Long Play (LP) mode for longer video recording times. The 2.5-inch PureColor LCD II screen has a wider viewing angle and the anti-glare coating provides easier viewing for image framing and playback.

LG KF750 Secret preview: Adding to the fun
Sophisticated looks and exclusive bodywork have unfailingly implied a no-thrills performance. Now, that may as well be the Secret about LG KF750. What we have here is an exquisitely crafted premium handset with a feature pack worthy of its looks. The LG KF750 Secret is the third slimmest handset to feature a 5 megapixel camera and that's just the icing of the cake. Touch screen and exotic Neon Touch navigation, some amazing video recording capabilities and auto-rotation get delivered in a carbon fiber and tempered glass package. Never has Black Label promised this much.
Two New Lifestyle Smart Phones From
Two of the slew of new phones launched today by Sony Ericsson are the G700 and G900. Both are billed as lifestyle smart phones. And both have touch screens (this year's must-have feature), web browsers, organizer functions and UMTS radios.
The G700 is supposed to be for the rugged outdoor type, with its 3.2MP camera and RSS news ticker. At least, that's what the Sony Ericsson rep told me. He also struggled not to describe the G900 as a girl's phone, finally stammering out that it was instead "stylish". The G900, available in hot pink, sports a 5MP camera with touch focus: you touch the screen where you want the camera to focus.

Nokia's New Cellphones Show High-End Flair
Nokia's N96 is the sequel to last year's much-loved N95. All the same notes are struck—Symbian OS, lots of internal memory (16GB this time) and powerful N-Gage-ready 3D graphics. It's the leader of a pack that focuses on fancy GPS-based geolocation features and high-end integrated cameras.

Onyx Liscio Mobile Phone Release Announced - Onyx Phone Lisc
Onyx Liscio Mobile Phone Release Announced - Onyx Phone Liscio UK
Pure stunning genius, that’s what the Onyx Liscio is.
With its bold design and unique appearance, the Onyx Liscio fashion phone is anything but bulky and clumsy.
In fact you would go as far as to say that compact is it’s middle name.
The key idea behind this phone is to have it as a secondary phone, one to marvelled at and shown off when out amongst friends rather than being used as a day to day business tool.
Weight: 60g
Talktime: 3 hrs
Standby time: 8 days
Dimensions: 90 x 35 x 18 mm
.
The Tri Band GSM Onyx Liscio with GPRS support, weighs an incredible 60 grams, but smaller and lighter does of course mean fewer features and smaller ones at that, like the OLED display for example, which although full colour is just 1.1 inches.
Lacking in advanced technological features such as 3G connectivity and WiFi capabilities, the Onyx Liscio proudly takes this critism on the chin.
It may not be designed for viewing documents and speedy wireless internet connections but it does entertain and boast about itself incredible well.
The MP3 Player keeps you tuned into your music with 11 hours of continuous playback and the FM Radio keeps you up to date with last minute goals and the latest news and sports headlines.
Bluetooth provides wireles data transfers for sharing files and the standard 128MB internal memory is accompanied by a 1GB memory card that is included in the package.
Bluetooth of course comes with A2DP stereo support but there’s an additional wired stereo headset included.
Manage music and contacts and keep in touch with the Onyx Liscio. A phone that’s proud to be different.

Samsung announces 8 megapixel cameraphone
Samsung announces 8 megapixel cameraphone
CES 2006 certainly had its share of new mobile phone announcements, but none of the new mobiles on show matched the current top of the line Korean phones that Samsung and LG have been selling for over a year now. While in Europe and the US we have to make do with the 2 megapixel models from Nokia and Sony Ericsson, in Korea, both mobile phone giants have 5 megapixel camera phones on sale, and have sold more than 300,000 of them between them. Samsung even has a 7 megapixel cameraphone model, the Samsung V770!
However, given that even smaller mobile phone manufacturers, such as Pantech and Gigabyte, have also released 5 megapixel cameraphones in Korea, Samsung clearly feel the need to raise the stakes. They’ve recently announced an 8 megapixel camera phone (Korea only of course), the Samsung SPH-V8200 ! Kind of makes CES 2006 look more like CES 1999! In fact, if it wasn’t for Samsung’s huge array of new phone announcements (25 models at the last count), CES 2006 would have been very poor for mobile phone gadgetry. Not a vintage year, it would seem.

Motorola RAZR 2 V9 Review
Motorola RAZR2 V9 Review
The RAZR 2 V9 is a superslim 3G clamshell phone that uses premium materials in its construction to give a quality look and feel. A poor camera lets the phone down in imaging terms, but the music player is fantastic, with touchscreen controls, plenty of memory and support for Bluetooth stereo headsets. The only problem with the phone is its below-average battery life.
The Motorola RAZR2 V9 is almost exactly the same as the RAZR2 V8, except that it's a 3G version, with a high-speed HSDPA implementation of 3G, enabling fast downloads at up to 3.6 Mbps. It also allows you to make video calls on a 3G network and can accept a microSD memory card.
The RAZR2 V9 is about the same size as the original RAZR V3, and looks very much like the original. It's built from premium materials - stainless steel & chemically hardened glass - with a two-tone soft-touch housing, and looks and feels like a quality product. The RAZR2 is a much higher-spec phone than the original RAZR though. There have been some design improvements too - the flat keypad is nice and responsive - and the external screen is the largest of its kind and is touch-sensitive. The external touchscreen can be used to control the music player, and also to read and reply to text messages. When not in use as a touchscreen, the external display shows information such as the date and time, or incoming calls. It's a multi-tasking phone, so you can use the music player whilst accessing the other phone functions.
The V9's camera isn't that brilliant. At 2 megapixels and no flash, it's well below average for this class of phone. It supports low-resolution video recording plus 3G video calling. The music player on the other hand is great. The touchscreen controls enable the music player to be operated without having to open the phone, and there's full support for managing playlists on the go. The media player is Windows Media Player® 11, which supports virtually all music formats and enables easy synchronisation with a PC. The internal memory is limited to 45 Mbytes, which isn't very much for storing music, but the V9 can take microSD memory cards up to 2 Gbytes, which is enough to store around 500 tracks. There's full support for wireless Bluetooth headsets, and also microUSB 2.0 connectivity, for fast data transfers from a PC.
Another nice feature in the V9 that first appeared in the RAZR2 V8 is CrystalTalk™. This is a new technology that improves call quality by automatically adjusting the audio to take into account of background noise.
The only thing that we don't like about the V9 is the battery life. The V9 is a slimline phone with two large screens to power, and 3G too, so it isn't surprising to find that the battery runs down pretty quickly. If you're a heavy user, we'd have to say that this isn't the right phone for you. But if you can live with the battery, you'll find the RAZR2 V9 to be a very stylish and feature-rich mobile.

The RAZR 2 V9 is a superslim 3G clamshell phone that uses premium materials in its construction to give a quality look and feel. A poor camera lets the phone down in imaging terms, but the music player is fantastic, with touchscreen controls, plenty of memory and support for Bluetooth stereo headsets. The only problem with the phone is its below-average battery life.
The Motorola RAZR2 V9 is almost exactly the same as the RAZR2 V8, except that it's a 3G version, with a high-speed HSDPA implementation of 3G, enabling fast downloads at up to 3.6 Mbps. It also allows you to make video calls on a 3G network and can accept a microSD memory card.

Samsung Soul, the last of the the Ultra Edition phones
Samsung have launched the new Samsung Soul, a new mobile phone from the company that actually has a name, rather than an awkward array of seemingly arbitrary letters and numbers (who could forget the charmingly-named Samsung SGH-P310 for example?!). Samsung chose the name Soul as it stands for "Spirit Of ULtra" (yes, really!), and it apparently "honours the completion of its exclusive 'Ultra Edition' series." Not entirely sure why "soul" denotes the end of something, but it does imply that this will be the last in the extremely successful and highly-rated Ultra Edition range of phones, thereby paving the way for an ever better crop of phones from Samsung for the rest of the year
The Soul is Samsung's new flagship phone, meaning it's a high-end monster packed full of features. Better still, continuing Samsung's recent theme, these aren't just gimmicks - each feature is designed to work and work really well, rather than just acting as padding for the spec list.
More pics and full details of the Samsung Soul after the jump.
Overview of the Samsung Soul mobile phone
So what do you get with a Samsung flagship phone? Well, no flag, but you do get the following rather tasty array of features:
* 5 megapixel camera
* Power LED Flash
* Face detection, image stabilizer and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for enhanced picture quality
* 7.2 Mbps HSPDA connectivity
* New "Magical Touch by DaCP" user interface
* Slide form factor
* 12.9mm thin
* Bluetooth 2.0
* MP3 player with Bang & Olufson Digital ICE Power amp and headset
A few features of note here. Firstly, the camera. Not only 5 megapixels, but a wide range of advanced features to help you get the best picture of your subject. Secondly, not just HSDPA, but HSPDA running at a superb 7.2Mbps (if your network supports it of course, and dependent on contention ratios). Thirdly, an MP3 player that gives great sound thanks to a Bang & Olufson amplifier.
Finally, the somewhat oddly-named "Magical Touch by DaCP" user interface. What be this, you ask? It's a new interface whereby the navigation indicators on the keypad change according to the feature you're using. Select the camera, for example, and the icons on the keypad change to reflect camera-specific options (see pic below). DaCP, in case you were wondering, stands for Dynamic Adaptive Control Pad, and as you might guess, it is, in reality, a small OLED screen that adapts to the requirements of the selected feature. Nice touch, though.
It's a shame the Samsung Soul will the see the end of the Ultra Range. There were some great phones in that range, stylish, fully-featured, and even several "world's thinnest" phones. Still, with Samsung on a bit of a roll at the moment, having overtaken Motorola to second spot, I'm guessing the replacement range (Son of Ultra - Hmmm, SoUL II - perhaps?!) will be better still, with some rather tasty new phones to watch out for.
The Samsung Soul is out now across Europe, and will be released in other markets throughout 2008.

More details of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Smartphone
Now here's a phone that's had me all excited ever since it was first announced at the Mobile World Congress back in February. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is a smartphone set to challenge the mighty Nokia E90. If looks are anything to go by, the XPERIA wins hands down, but as with any smartphone, it's not the looks that matter, it's the features and how easy they are to use.
Sony Ericsson are keeping tight lipped about the applications on offer with the XPERIA X1 for the moment, but they have released a set of specifications for the phone, if it's incomplete.
Full spec of the XPERIA X1 after the jump.
The first thing to note is that the XPERIA X1 is absed on Widows Mobile 6.1, which marks a departure for Sony Ericsson phones as they've never used Windows Mobile before. This brings greater synchronization with the desktop (at least if you have a Windows-based PC, anyway), but at the cost of the dreadful Mobile Internet Explorer.
Sony Ericsson have also been shouting loudly about the new User Interface of the XPERIA X1, which they see as capable fo taking on the iPhone. The X1's UI is controllable trough a 3" VGA touchscreen that can support 65,536 colours. The UI uses what Sony Ericsson call Panels, which are distinct blocks of functionality that the user can move around the screen at will.
According to Rikko Sakaguchi, Sony Ericsson's Head of Portfolio and Propositions, "No two individuals have the same tastes and desires. Sony Ericsson's XPERIA™ X1 has been developed to ensure that mobile web communication and multimedia entertainment can be tailored, putting the individual at the heart of the mobile experience in a uniquely personal way."
Applications can be built around panel technology, and Sony Ericsson will be working with both operators and application developers to create nifty new panels once the XPERIA X1 has been launched.
Speaking of which, despite rumours that it wouldn't be released until 2009, Sony Ericsson have said that the XPERIA X1 release date will be the second half of 2008. Which is just as well, really, as apart from its flashy interface, the X1 is competing feature for feature with the Nokia E90, and that's been out for over six months now. By the time the X1 is released, there should be a new E90 about to be released, so Sony Ericsson need to get a move on if the X1 is to compete effectively.
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Specification
And so what of the X1's specs then? Welll, they're not fully fleshed out yet, but here are what Sony Ericsson are aiming to cram into the X1:
Camera
* Camera - 3.2 megapixel
* Video recording
* Photo light
* Digital zoom - 3x
* Auto focus
Entertainment
* 3D games
* Video viewing
