Sprint’s BlackBerry 8350i Loses the CameraPosted by Alex IonApril 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment |
Unless you are working in a high security government facility or some top secret underground lab in Area 51 (It could exist!) that does not allow you to carry a camera phone, you are most likely to carry the original version of the BlackBerry 8350i rather than the latest version that comes without the camera. While the camera comes off, not much else changes with the 8350i; in fact nothing else at all. Even the price tag is the same with you having to shell out $149.99 on a contract (after rebate)— the exact same amount that you pay for the 8350i with camera! However, this is still good news and the day we’ll start working at NASA, we will appreciate it, too. Right? [via EngadgetMobile]

Sony Ericsson S312, Fun-filled Candy-barPosted by Alex IonApril 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment |
Coming into the market along with the W205, Sony Ericsson S312 is another entry-level mobile targeted at an audience much different from the music-addicted and slider-loving folks. The S312 is aimed more at the shutter bugs who find their delights in snaps and videos and dedicate large parts of their mobile time to visual delights. The cute candy-bar phone looks sturdy, comes equipped with a 2-inch 176×220 LCD display, a 2 Megapixel camera with 2.5x digital zoom and video recording capability.
With an integrated FM radio with RDS and Bluetooth A2DP, expect the S312 to hit the market in the Q2 of this year. Coming out in the two variations of Dawn Blue and Honey Silver, the phone supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE/900/1800 networks and is a nice choice for those looking to take home a mobile with very basic functions and a few add-ons in the video department.

HTC Snap: QWERTY Smartphone Makes Grand DebutPosted by Alex IonApril 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment |
Dubbed the Snap, this phone is well and truly ‘snappy’. Perfect for the cosmopolitan user who needs to prioritize, stay in touch and always stay connected, HTC Snap is coming with a complete QWERTY keypad, runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, and sports a pretty cool 2.4-inch LED-backlight display.
Powered by a Qualcomm MSM 7225 528 MHz processor, despite its apparent serious look the bar-type mobile is loaded with plenty of features, like a 2 megapixel camera, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth with EDR and A2DP, integrated GPS, and a microSD card slot.
However, the unique attraction of the Snap will be its trackball with an Enter button and the uber-cool Inner Circle function that allows users to easily prioritize messages on the basis of importance at the press of a single button. The mobile supports 900/2100 MHz HSDPA/WCDMA and quad-band GSM with a separate HSDPA at 850/1900MHz version designed specifically for the US market…
Already sold on the design, we’d love to text from one of these. Seriously! [via iTechNews]

LG SV800 Lollipop: A delicious treat on offerPosted by Alex IonMarch 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment |
It is pretty safe to assume that the latest mobile from LG seems to be targeting largely girls in their teens or probably all women in general with its really cut and chic design and coloring that seems a tad too mush. Appropriately dubbed as the SV800 Lollipop, the new clamshell cell phone opens up sporting a 2.8-inch LCD display, is loaded with a 3 megapixel main camera and a 1.3 megapixel secondary camera for video call.
But the LG Lollipop also blings it up with a flashing set of 220 LED lights on its front panel to show 22 different emoticons and a microSD card slot for more space. A 3G enabled mobile phone that seems like a very attractive option for those looking for a fashionable style along with good features, the Lollipop is priced at just above $360.
This is kind of an expensive way to get a sweet tooth! [via iTechNews]

Verizon Samsung U490, Will Slide Out SoonPosted by Alex IonMarch 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment |
You like Verizon’s services and their prices, but you’d like to own a slider? Then maybe you can hold on just a while until the release of the new Samsung U490. Similar with LG Vu and featuring the most basic stuff that you are looking in a mobile, it features a colored LCD display, a 1.3 Megapixel camera, 1GB of internal memory, a microSDHC card slot and the attractive touch-sensitive control pad. Other than these there’s a 3.5mm headset jack and a large speaker.
Lacking EVDO support, although the U490 packs a hidden numeric keypad that slides out, it looks rather generic. So what is so special about this mobile? Maybe the Mobile Web 2.0 browser? Expected to be unveiled at CTIA later this month, Samsung U490 proves tobe a fancy high-end phone with great gadgetry. [via PhoneArena]

Ericsson’s W3x Series, Bringing Aesthetics to 3G RoutersPosted by Alex IonMarch 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment |
Giving a pleasant new and stylish look to the more dull and monotonous world of 3G Routers, Ericsson has come out two new models. The W30 Data Router and the W35 Data and Voice Router. The very best in their categories with an ability to tap into HSPA / UMTS / GSM data and send it out over Wi-Fi and Ethernet, they also have the ability to share an USB printer.
The W35 quite obviously goes a step further with its voice and fax capabilities, making it probably the best 3G router around in terms of both form and function. So when will we get our hands on these? Not anytime soon, as apparently Ericsson hasn’t disclosed any prices or a release date.
Let’s just hope it’s soon enough for the sake of tech geeks in us!

iPhone enthusiasts and even iPod touch fanatics have plenty to play around with the new iPhone 3.0 OS that has just been unleashed. Packing a multitude of new features that should keep those who sport the fancy gadget really busy, the most welcome addition is obviously the ‘cut, copy and paste’ option for text that offers plenty of flexibility for your mobile phone.
Another useful option is the Peer to Peer sharing tool that allows you to message and share data from one iPhone to another one via Bluetooth. But there are also loads of other features that allow you to copy and paste photos, spotlight search results, new push feature that tells you when you have been messaged IMs, a voice memo application that allows you record and send audio clips, anti-phishing options and automatic login into email accounts.
The update is free for all iPhone users, while those with an iPod will have to pay $9.95. Get yourself an update to experience the change first hand. It’s amazing. [via Gizmodo]
