Philips Xenium X600

Posted on September 29, 2008 by ColmNo Comments

The Philips Xenium X600 mobile phone has been launched, the phone can do 8.5 hours of talk time and up to a month in standby mode on one charge. With that type of battery uptime other features have been dropped and your left with a tri-band GSM/GPRS clamshell with external and internal displays, microSD card slot and music player.

The phone is apparently intended for mobile phone customers looking for little more than a handset that they can use for days on end without needing a recharge, literally.

Unlocked 3G iPhone For Sale

Posted on September 26, 2008 by ColmNo Comments

The Apple online store in Hong Kong have started selling unlocked 3G iPhones. It’s a bit of a bold move and makes you wonder if it’s something they will rollout to other countries. According to Apples website in Honk Kong the iPhone can be activated with any wireless carrier through iTunes 8.

The phone’s are selling for 700 USD and 800 USD for the 8GB and 16GB versions.

The iPhone has been available locally on a Three contract since July but this is interesting to see and I wonder as exclusivity deals expire over the next year will we see more of this across other countries.

Some picture of the Motorola Q11 have found their way onto the Internet, at present there’s no release date. But, it’s expected to come with GPS, Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, WiFi, bluetooth and a 3 megapixel camera.

2-inch, 960 x 540 pixel Mobile LCD

Posted on September 25, 2008 by ColmNo Comments

Is this the future for Mobile phone? Casio have developed a 2.0-inch TFT with a resolution of 960 x 540 that will support 16.8 million colours. The technology is based on the company’s original HAST (hyper-amorphous silicon TFT) technology which gives better resolution and a higher aperture ratio.

Casio have not announced this yet but I’m sure over the next few year we’ll see this technology in some super phones.

Samsung to Announce M8800 Maybe !!

Posted on September 24, 2008 by ColmNo Comments

It’s seems to be 8 Megapixel Camera Phone day today, now with more rumours that the Samsung Bresson M8800 will be released on September 25th. Normal thing is somebody will also have a picture or a pre-release of a phone before it comes out but this time Samsung are not saying much.

The M8800will come with a full touch screen, 3.2-inch display screen, 16 millions colours and support HSDPA network. But I guess we have to wait to get some better specs.
