Blackberry Torch

admin — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 09:45:03 +0000

The latest handset to be released by Blackberry is the blackberry torch and offers a handset that has many similar applications and functions to that of the iPhone. Similarities such as a touchscreen display and fully functional QWERTY keyboard, bringing the Blackberry Torch up to date with many of the smartphones on the market today.

The Blackberry Torch has all the features you could wish for in a smartphone, some of which include Google Maps, calendar applications, easy accessible internet, an address book, a games centre and an assortment of downloadable apps.

Blackberry handsets are renowned for being great business phones as they offer the user the ability to access their emails on tap, in the shape of both personal and work emails.

The handset itself offers a sleek and business like design complete with aluminium look casing and a slim body, making it the perfect handset to slide in a pocket or small bag.

The best feature of this particular smart phone has to be the re-vamped multimedia; the memory for example offers 8 GB, which is in fact expandable to up to 32 GB.

The pinch and zoom option is another great feature of this handset and allows users to zoom in and out in order to view content more clearly.

The enhanced music is complimented by a full screen, which allows users to view full album art work as well as track listings in both landscape and portrait mode.

Integrated social feeds make this a great handset for those that like to stay in touch with friends and family on a regular basis with regular RSS feeds direct to the handset’s screen. Multiple networks can also be used in conjunction with one single post.

All in all this is a great phone for both personal and business requirements.

Blackberry Torch 2

admin — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 15:30:56 +0000

It seems to be sequel season in the mobile phone world. We have just seen announcements about the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Desire S, with both phones looking like they will hit the shops over here in s couple of weeks. Now there has been talk of the internet to a remake of another one of last year’s stand out phones, the Blackberry Torch.

The Blackberry Torch could be considered a sign of things to come for Research in Motion as they moved last year towards a more consumer driven approach, shifting away from the business model that had served them so well for years and years. Well as for the immediate future, the Torch is definitely the template as RIM looks to bring back their most famous touch screen phone for another crack at the other top smart phones, the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S.

The new model is basically just an improved version of last year’s phone and this should not disappoint anyone who has used the original Torch, which was a very good phone. One area in which they have kept the phone the same is the aesthetics. From what we have gathered, the new Torch looks pretty much exactly like the old one, with the same touchscreen/QWERTY keyboard combination that proved so popular last year. It has seen its screen improved to a better 640 x 480-pixel display. The Torch 2 also packs a new and much faster 1.2GHz processor to run the hundreds of new applications which RIM intends to create for the new Torch’s release. Also, Blackberry’s award winning software also will get an upgrade, with the next model having the new BlackBerry OS 6.1.

The Blackberry World show is in May and it can be expected that RIM will announce the release of the phone then. The rumours have it that they will schedule a July US release so expect the phone to hit the shops here a month or so later.

BlackBerry Storm Get Cut Price at $99

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:25:41 +0000

We’re pretty sure the BlackBerry Storm 2’s announcement is coming soon, and we just got a little more evidence: The not-so-loved original Storm’s price has just been dropped to $99 with a 2-year contract.

If you’re sure you need to stick with Verizon, this probably looks enticing, but we’d definitely recommend waiting. The Storm 2 will probably cost in the $150-250 range to compete with the iPhone, Pre, and various Android offerings, and for all we know, it might be great. Even the BlackBerry Tour might be a better option that the original Storm, which isn’t the worst phone ever but hasn’t exactly been a fan favorite either. [Verizon]

Samsung Ultra S Elegant Edition Available in Hong Kong

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:16:30 +0000

Samsung has unveiled a new version of the existing device, designed for girls or for everyone who digs pink color (actually that’s “Sakura pink”) for their handset. It’s called Samsung Anycall Ultra S S7350H Elegant Edition and it comes together with a pink leather pouch and a makeup mirror — ok, it’s for girls, only!

There’s also a special mobile content pre-installed on the S7350H, including “romantic mobile theme” and “smart seasonal wallpapers,” which change automatically according to the upcoming calendar event. For instance, there are special wallpapers for such days as Valentine’s Day, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and so on.

Specs wise, there’s a 2.6-inch WQVGA screen, 3G, GPS, 5 megapixel camera, and microSD memory card slot. Pricing is unknown at this stage, but we think it will be just a little more expensive than the original S7350…

Nokia N86 Coming to Nokia USA?

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:11:17 +0000

Nokia N86

Nokia’s trying to make a big deal today about the fact that the N86 8MP will be coming to Nokia’s US flagship stores in New York and Chicago along with nokiausa.com in the “coming weeks,” but in light of the company’s recent North American strategy shift, the US availability of the N85, and the handling of the N97 launch, we’d be far more surprised if it wasn’t coming. As for pricing, you’re going to be looking at $558 out the door — an oddball price, to be sure, but considering that you’re getting arguably the best S60 3.2 device ever conceived, it seems within the realm of reason (and you’ll be able to get it through third-party retailers for considerably less, we’d wager). Who’s in?

HTC Hero

In case you’ve forgotten, the HTC Hero has a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, HSPA, WiFi b/g and GPS, together with the latest Android OS 1.5 “Cupcake”. Where it differs from HTC’s previous Android devices, however, is in HTC Sense, the company’s new UI which integrates with the open-source OS and adds numerous widgets and other usability improvements.

We’ll have the full review of the HTC Hero very soon, after we’ve had the chance to put it through its paces. First impressions? It’s perhaps the best Android device to-date.

Release date is set for Q3 2009, when interested users will be able to grab it in “Ambient Black.”

Motorola Aura Celestial Edition Celebrates 40th Moon Landing Anniversary

admin — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 09:14:35 +0000

Motorola wows us not with another RAZR-like handset, but with the Celestial Edition of its Motorola Aura in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. This is but the standard Aura with additional extras including original NASA content from the moon landing such as video footage, stills and famous audio snippets like “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”, and “The Eagle has landed”.

Bear in mind that Motorola were the ones who provided the original radio transponder aboard Apollo 11 that in turn, relayed the first words and visuals from the moon to Earth. There is no word on pricing, but knowing how commemorative editions of anything in the world is expensive, this will surely cost you a handsome.

Sony Ericsson C901 Green Heart Unboxed

Sony Ericsson C901 Green Heart

The Sony Ericsson C901 just got Sony Ericsson’s GreenHeart seal of approval with a newly announced version that’s low on carbon emission and high on camera quality. Come see it ripped out of its tiny packaging in our unboxathon.

We’ve already played with the Sony Ericsson Naite GreenHeart, but it’s the flashy Sony Ericsson C901 GreenHeart that’s got us green with envy. It’s the powerful cellphone snapper announced a few months back (5MP camera, Xenon flash, 3G), with the promise of less waste and nasty materials. But even if eco isn’t your thing, you have to admit it’s a beautiful looking blower.
The Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot C901 also comes with a new MH300 GreenHeart headset squished inside the pico-packaging, made almost entirely out of recyclable plastic, so you won’t feel bad about ramming it in your ear.

It ships with 150MB of internal memory and 1GB microSD card, but you can easily swap this out for a 8GB card if you wish. It’s worth bearing in mind that this phone costs just £220 (inc. VAT) SIM free, so makes a great upgrade choice.

Navigation courtesy of A-GPS and Nokia Maps
2.2-inch QVGA display supporting 16.7 million true colours

Nokia Surge

We’ve known about Nokia’s so-called Surge for months now, but at long last, AT&T has done its duty by making things official and giving us a price and release date to consider.

Sprint Launched LG LX290, Inferno BlackBerry Curve 8330

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:34:07 +0000

The mobile phone market is doing well despite the poor economy, particularly in the smartphone segment. There is also a market for devices that aren’t smartphones but offer lots of features and are centered on messaging.

Specifications for the LG LX290 have been provided to us by Sprint and the device looks to be a solid phone for those looking to keep in touch. The handset will be available on the Sprint network and features a sliding design, access to email, and text messages.

Other features include a 2.5mm headphone jack, which means your headphones probably won’t fit. The device is GPS-enabled and supports email form AOL, Yahoo, and Windows Live. The device can record and send voice messages. The handset measure 4.09-inches x 1.94-inches x 0.63-inches and weighs 3.6 ounces. The screen is a 1.33 x 1.77-inch TFT with a resolution of 240 x 320. Pricing and availability are not known.

Sprint has also released a new color version of the

BlackBerry Curve 8330: Inferno (which is actually some sort of orange).

The Inferno
BlackBerry Curve 8330 costs $49.99 with a 2-yr contract agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate. Like the LG LX290, the new Curve can be bought both online and from Sprint’s retail locations.

Of course, you can always buy the brand new BlackBerry Tour instead.

LG LX290

Sprint announced the LG LX290 slider phone. The LX290 has dedicated application shortcut keys as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and GPS. It is available online starting today for $30 after rebates with new agreement.

“Compact and sleek productivity” might be a bit over the top, but the bottom line is this: at $29.99 on contract after rebates, LG’s new LX290 for Sprint is one of the cheapest ways to get Sprint Navigation and email access in your pocket. The slider packs a 1.3 megapixel camera for basic shooting needs, instant messaging capability, AGPS (naturally), a 320 x 240 display, and a 2.5mm audio jack — we would’ve preferred 3.5, of course, but at that bargain-basement price, we’ll take what we can get. The phone is available now, so go on, get productive.
