Sony Ericsson’s camera-phone range has revolutionised the market and consistently pushed the boundaries between mobile phones and standalone digital cameras. From the K750i’s auto-focus capabilities to the K800i’s xenon flash, Sony Ericsson has hit the nail on the head when it comes to giving users what they want. Given its pedigree, it’s no wonder that we had high expectations for the K800i’s successor, the Sony Ericsson K810i.

Monday, September 13th, 2010Nokia 3720 classic
Thursday, August 5th, 2010The Nokia 3720 classic is putting on its boots, pulling on its anorak, slinging its rucksack over its shoulder and striding out into the unfriendliest of environments: water, dust, tough ground…you name it, this device promises to shrug it off and keep on going. After countless Nseries, Eseries, XpressMusic and classic releases and facelifts, Nokia look keen to revisit an almost forgotten niche of users – those who need a tough phone. Well, the Finns have finally put that right and they seem to have a promising candidate on their hands for those who care less about features and even less about the weather. So, if you’re after a handset that can survive the elements, get ready to check out the rugged Nokia 3720. (more…)
Samsung Captivate
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Samsung is the second biggest cell phone manufacturer on the planet. But even though it sells more phones than the next five manufacturers on the list combined, Samsung is known mostly for selling what are now known as feature phones, or “dumb phones”. These are the less capable models that don’t multitask and are usually a bit cheaper than smartphones. That is why it’s huge news when Samsung releases four new Android smartphones — for each of the four major U.S. cellular carriers — at nearly the same time. (more…)
Cellphone System Without Coverage
Monday, July 19th, 2010A good Aussie team offers trialled a mobile phone program that works actually where there’s no network transmission. The actual Serval Project uses unlicensed spectrum. Wifi-enabled ‘Batphones’ rebroadcast their own signal to create a cellular mesh network – the cellphone swarm, except that just two tend to be required. Existing phone numbers works on a Serval network, they states. “It will allow individuals within remote control or even isolated town-ships, or even farm workers in network black places to talk to one another,” says Doctor Paul Gardner-Stephen of Flinders University.

Palm Pre Plus
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010It’s been about a year since Palm pulled itself back from the brink of imminent destruction with the announcement of webOS and the Palm Pre, and even less time since the products announced actually hit the market. In that time span, the company has issued another handset (the small, less powerful Pixi), released a number of over-the-air updates to its OS (nine in all), and created and disseminated a slew of developer tools, including iterative releases of its SDK and a new web-based development environment called Ares. Throughout the ups and downs of the past 12-or-so months Palm has been “back,” the company has stuck with Sprint as its lone carrier partner in the US — so while it’s been innovating and tweaking on its platform and devices, the third-place partner has kept it from the larger audiences AT&T or Verizon might offer. Now — almost a year to the day — Palm has turned around and opened its devices up to the country’s largest carrier, in addition to bumping the specs and features of both phones it offers (the Pre getting an additional 8GB of storage and double the RAM, the Pixi is now equipped with WiFi). All the while significantly improving its SDK (with the new native Plug-in Development Kit) and app distribution model. So can Palm finally really get this ship sailing, court the developers it badly needs, and deliver on the promises of webOS, or is it too little, too late? Read on to find out! (more…)
