Apple iphone 3G S. The need for speed?

With a little 'S' next to its name being the only discernible change for the iPhone 3G S, we were a little worried that Apple had pulled a fast one. However, the more we learn about the new version, the more we're convinced there's enough new stuff here to (just about) justify the (re-) launch. Whether there's enough tweaking gone on to convince you to upgrade from the Apple iphone 3G, we'll leave up to you, but if you've still got the original iphone, or are thinking about owning one for the first time, now is the time to buy for sure.

There's more additions, improvements and general tinkerings gone on inside the iPhone 3G S than you could shake even a large branch at, but here's our brief run down of what you need to know:

• Improved performance (faster processor, better graphics chip – some people are even claiming it's a PSP beater in the games department)
• 3-megapixel camera (with a lovely little tap-to-focus feature)
• Video recording (and even editing)
• Voice Control (you shout, it does)
• Digital compass (useless? Probably. Pretty? Definitely)
• Cut, Copy & Paste (from websites, from documents, from photos... basically from you can now chop from wherever you want)
• MMS
• Spotlight Search
• Landscape keyboard (finally)
• Voice Memos
• Longer battery life (vital!)

There's also a new coating on the screen that we won't even try and spell, but it basically means you can let oily-fingered friends tap away and you'll be able to wipe it clean far more easily than before. Not that oily-fingered friends should be allowed anywhere near your new iPhone 3G S! Available in white or black, and in 16GB or 32GB versions, we say go for it – everyone deserves a new toy for the summertime. There's an Iphone 3G S review here, and a long-winded but kind of impressive video tour below:

Can’t Wait For Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

The Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman was the first phone to be unveiled at the World Mobile Congress 2009. And, I don’t mind admitting that it captured my heart from the very first instance. After looking at the Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman, no other phone that was announced seemed to match up to its performance or style. I can’t tell you how impatient I am to find out the release date of the Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman which is expected to be in the second quarter of 2009. The price has not been announced yet as well, but honestly, I would be willing to pay a decent amount for a phone that has so many dashing features.
To begin with the See Sony's press release truly lives up to its name. The phone is the premier vehicle for the new Media Go software and I am looking forward to finding out more about it. It is expected to take away the hassle of converting files from one format to another while transferring data onto your phone. Apart from that, the phone features album art, shake control, TrackID, and an adjustable bass level. It also has a stereo speakers and 3.5 mm audio jack to allow users to connect standard headphones to the phone.
Secondly, it has an amazing 8.1 MP camera has a 16x digital zoom, auto-focus, face detection, a flash and a video recorder. The A-GPS in the phone also allows for geo-tagging of pictures you take. There are a number of other high end features in the phone, but the next most impressive feature is the 2.6” display which lends itself to pictures as well as movies. And with a battery life that supports 9 hours talk time, 20 hours music time and 5 hours video time, you can actually watch 2 full length movies on your phone.
The mobile phone contracts is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited phone in 2009.

Sony Ericsson W395 Walkman: A Perfect Gift

My younger brother is soon going to turn sixteen and I have been thinking of what gift to get him for his birthday. Today, while browsing the net, I came upon something that is the most perfect gift for him ever! I came upon the product description of the W395 Walkman and as I was reading it, it began to seem as if the phone was built keeping my brother in mind.
To begin with, I knew I had to gift my brother something that is not too expensive. My parents would never have approved of an extravagant gift. In that sense, the Sony Ericsson W395 Walkman is well within my budget. Secondly, considering my brother is still young, I wanted to give him a gift that was not too advanced for his age or difficult to use. The W395 Walkman is touted as the ‘entry level music phone targeted at the younger generation.’ As I said, it was perfect!
My brother is heavily into music just like everyone his age and I’m sure he would love to show off a sleek looking slider music phone that comes with some very interesting features. I have no doubt my brother will love the inbuilt stereo speakers of the The offical press release that will ensure that everybody in the room gets to hear his music. The wireless headphones are also likely to be popular with him.
T-mobile also has a built in 2 MP camera with an application that tweaks photos after they have been taken. The 3D gaming with motion control support is also going to be a big hit with him. I’m sure my brother will really enjoy the many facets of his birthday gift for a long time to come.

Samsung S3500: A Phone worth waiting for?

I am in the habit of changing my mobile phones every few months. Unfortunately, with the recession and all, I haven’t been able to indulge in my craving for the latest phones as much as I would like to. I have been using my current phone for a very long time now and am really looking for an affordable change. My budget is not very high, but I am hoping to find the best phone I can in the entry level category of mobile phones. I haven’t really liked any of the phones in the market that are currently available, but I have my eyes set on S3500 that is expected to be released sometime this year.
To begin with, the Samsung S3500 has all the features I am most interested in. It has a 2 Mp camera that I can take good quality pictures with as well as use for recording video. It also has a very good music player and FM radio. The user interface is flash enhanced and I think that would look very attractive. It also has a very attractive 2.2-inch TFT display screen with QVGA resolution of 240 x 320 and capable of displaying 16M colors. The Samsung S3500 also has a microSD card slot which supports up to 16 GB of external memory so you can carry a large collection of pictures, videos and music with you wherever you go.
But that’s not all. The main reason I liked this phone and want to buy it is that nobody who saw it would say that it was an entry level phone. On first glance, the phone looks very premium and high end and even the few features that are there support the illusion. The look and the feel of the Samsung is so classy, it is worth spending on.

Samsung i7410- The Projector Phone

Samsung has just launched Samsung i7410, its first projector phone in conjunction with Texas Instruments. Ever been in situations where you wanted to do a presentation and the projector wouldn’t work, or the power would go off and u wished there was some other way to do your presentation? If you are somebody who has a lot of presentations to do at work then this could be your backup. It is powered by a DLP Pico chipset, which is used by most micro- projectors.

I’m not saying Samsung i7410 can replace a conventional home cinema projector but it can be used conveniently for casual presentations and work quite well under appropriate light conditions. This phone eliminates the confines of a conventional mobile phone by allowing the user to view images up to a size of 50 inches. It also has integrated audio speakers which help with presentations.

Samsung i7410 also has normal phone like features such as SMS, MMS, email, mp3 player and a 5 mega pixel camera. Viewing pictures on the phone is also a pleasure as it boasts of having a 3.2 inch high- resolution color OLED touchscreen. It also comes with a bundle of applications that help with the presentation such as Powerpoint and other applications that help display emails, attachments that come via emails, pictures, etc.

The camera that comes with Samsung has an auto- focus feature and comes with an inbuilt flash and gives good quality pictures. The flash comes in handy for low light pictures. It comes with a good Li-ion 1440mAH battery which is sufficient for presentations of a decent length. So if you are somebody who is into photography and are often required to display your work, or a professional just looking for a pocket projector this would be the perfect phone for you.

Samsung Blue Earth - The Green Revolution

More and more companies are beginning to get environment conscious and we all knew that this change in attitude will reflect in the mobile phone industry, just like everywhere else. What we had not expected, at least not me was that a phone as eco friendly as the Blue Earth will hit the markets in the near future.
While attempts have been made to make mobile phones eco-friendly, no other mobile phone has made such huge leaps in the technology. The Samsung Blue Earth is one of the first phones to feature a solar powered panel that will give your phone enough charge to make a call. The remains of plastic bottles are transformed into a material called the PCM, which consumes less fuel and produces less carbon emission during the manufacturing process. The manufacturing process also ensures that no harmful materials like Brominated Flame Retardants, Beryllium and Phthalate are used in the making of the Samsung Blue Earth.
While, these advancements are absolutely fantastic, they do not prepare you for your first look at the see Cnet for more information. Seeing the mobile phone for the first time does take you by surprise. It is a very sleek and stylish looking mobile phone. In keeping with the environment friendly theme, the phone is designed to look like a rounded flat and shine pebble. It is equipped with a touch screen and a number of other high end features. Samsung seems to have finally broken the barriers between green technology and high end mobile phones.
Far too many details are about the phone are not yet available. We do not yet know all the features it offers or how much it is expected to cost, but we do know that this mobile phone is going to be wildly popular when it is released.

LG KT770 & More Microsoft

The LG KT770 is a 3rd edition Symbian S60 powered phone, another result of the tie up between LG and Microsoft. What is really exciting about this phone is that it has a document editor, which, if it has anything to do with Microsoft, will definitely be the best doc editor out there. They don’t do too many things well in Windows, but one of the good things is definitely their document editing applications. The LG KT770 will be capable of viewing .doc, xls, and pdf formats. A great tool for business owners, students and almost anyone else who uses text editing capabilities.

Contrary to rumors, the KT770 does NOT have a touch screen. It has two touch keys, as well as a regular keypad, but no touch screen. This might be one of the ways that LG is planning to make the KT770 more affordable and available to all. The keypad is reputed to have great sensory feedback, which will be a pleasure for all the avid text messagers.

The phone also has a 5.0 megapixel camera that has auto focus, smile and face detection. Photos can be easily shared through WIFI, WLAN, or Bluetooth. Or stored for later perusal on the micro SD card (upto 16 gigs) The LG also has a facebook application, which will make it popular with the younger generation of mobile phone users.

The phone has is GPS enabled and offers geotagging features. It is a sleek slider model, deep blue in color. A great attraction is the 2.8 inch display which is bright and clear. It also has a great interface – simple and easy to use.

We are unsure of the pricing and release date of the lg KT770, but for anyone who needs a simple phone with some great features, this one will do the trick.
