The Finnish mobile phone giant has dubbed its new N97 handset the “world’s most advanced mobile computer”, and promises it will bring users closer to the internet on the move.

The device combines a large 3.5in touch-screen, similar to that found on the Apple iPhone, with a slide-out Qwerty keyboard reminiscent of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and the T-Mobile G1. Unlike the Apple iPhone, the N97 will be able to play the Flash videos used on many websites, including our own Telegraph news pages. It also supports instant-messaging and email on the go, boasts a five-megapixel camera, and a huge 48GB of memory, capable of storing thousands more songs than the Apple iPhone and many other leading devices.

“From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence,” said Jonas Geust, a vice president at Nokia. “The Nokia N97 mobile computer adjusts to the world around us, helping stay connected to the people and things that matter most.”

Nokia has put high-speed web access at the heart of its new device, along with one-button, ‘always-on’ access to social-networking sites such as Facebook. The phone also uses its built-in GPS technology to provide location-specific information. Nokia, which calls the service ’social location’, said that it will enable N97 users to update their social-networking profiles with precise details about their location and find nearby friends.

“Today, we are at the threshold of another profound change in the way we connect and interact with each other and with our world,” said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, chief executive of Nokia. “This is a world where you will have the power to tailor and personalise your internet how and when you like, to make your day-to-day life easier and more fulfilling.”

The new N97 will tie in closely with Nokia’s Ovi platform of software and services, which include music downloads, photo-sharing services and mapping software. A new-look Nokia Maps program on the N97 will allow users to pre-plan a journey on their computer and then synchronise the route across to their mobile phone.

Nokia has also promised that it will follow the lead of Apple, Google and Research in Motion, makers of the BlackBerry, by making it easier for third-party developers to write additonal software and programs for Nokia handsets. Owners of the N97, which runs the Symbian operating system, can already download thousands of applications to their phone, and Nokia said it is creating “new opportunities” for third parties to develop innovative widgets and internet service applications for Nokia devices.

The Nokia N97 is expected to go on sale in the first half of 2009, and will cost around £470 without a contract, although many network operators are expected to heavily subsidise the cost of the handset, or even offer it for free on some tariffs.

Nokia, which has more than a billion customers worldwide, faces stiff competition from newcomers to the mobile phone market, such as Apple, with its hugely popular iPhone, and even Google, which has helped to develop the open-source Android operating system that will be running on several phones next year, and which promises to bring the desktop computing experience to mobile devices.

Although some technology commentators and analysts are sceptical whether the Nokia N97 has the potential to be an ‘iPhone killer’, others are more upbeat about its prospects.

“With the N97, Nokia has produced the first phone that will truly challenge, and even transcend, Apple’s best,” said Robin Landy, of mobile phone review website Omio.com. “Nokia has brought together a lot of common smartphone features, such as GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G internet, in one gorgeous device. Crucially though, they’ve combined the standard stuff with features that really matter to users, but are often missing from rival handsets.

“A proper Qwerty keyboard will make a huge difference to the everyday user experience, and the huge amount of memory means that even people with large music collections can leave their iPods at home.

“The N97 lacks the in-your-face dazzle of the iPhone, but it does strike a balance between understated good looks and functional practicality.”

Blackberry cellular phones have been prestigious for their easy to use Qwerty keyboard. Within the business world, BlackBerry cell phones been wowed as a success in being the helpful friend for doctors, lawyers and professionals in all fields. Even iPhone fanatics and users of the Google cell phones, who have had experience with Blackberry cellular phones admit that as for features including text messaging, Blackberries are the most awesome. In the sphere of smart phones, they are of course not lagging behind either. For those of us human, such the intelligent species with opposable thumbs that we are, the anthentic Qwerty keyboard of Blackberry cell phones satisfied us with high standards for real-time tactile sensation, Bleckberry cell phones were inevitably the standard of smart phones.

Then Blackberry planned to launch the Blackberry Storm and shocked everybody. Gone was the nice tactile Qwerty keyboard which everyone found helpful and easy-to-use. The only feature in which this cell phone is similar to other Blackberry cell phones is the BlackBerry OS as well as RIM’s excellent email and messaging services. Unlike other BlackBerry cellular phones, the QWERTY or SureType keypad and light-up trackball for navigation are gone. How does the newly emergent virtual QWERTY compare to the real standard QWERTY keyboard? One review stated that the touch screen keypad was difficult to use due to the fact that people who use it have to release the key before typing another. The consequence is slow or lagging typing.

Storm is a wide 3.25-inch, touch screen gadget that also has a lot of the similar functions as the iPhone, but as well provides a clickable display. Unlike the iPhone and Instinct , the Storm make full use of a totally extraordinary “click” technique referred to as SurePress which actually enables you to click the screen down, and makes you feel you’re using a computer mouse.

Whereas the seconding generation iPhone has a 2 Megapixel camera similar to the first generation iPhones, the BlackBerry Storm updates their smart phone cam to 3.2 Megapixel, along with autofocus and a 2x digital zoom feature. In addition the Storm supposedly, similar to the 1st generation, has fast 7.2Mbps HSDPA website capabilities—putting it ahead of the iPhone. The BlackBerry Storm also has a useful bedside mode that is useful in deleting those drunken 2:00am phone calls from friends at pub. In the mean time, the Storm can still be adopted as an alarm clock.

One more benefit is that the Storm provides higher screen resolution than both the iPhone and T-Mobile’s GI Android cell phone. At 480 x 360 pixels, the BlackBerry Storm trumps both the iPhone and T-Mobile’s GI Android phone. On the back of the phone, the battery cover is constructed from solid piece of brushed aluminium, behind which is a removable cell phone battery. The screen is very crisp and clear and selections radiate a cool bluish light when selected. The screen of the Storm is very bright, though it does not outshine the squint-worthy brightness of the iPhone completely.

While the Storm provides enough bang for your buck in some senses there are some disbenefits to  
the mobile phone. The 3rd-party applications for the BlackBerry Storm is lagging far behind the iPhone. Generally there is not a lot of third-party applications for BlackBerry cell phones, not to mention Storm-based software.Plus, as the BlackBerry Storm is quite different from all the previous keypad and trackball BlackBerries, 3rd-party applications for the Storm in reality non-existent. However, the RIM software that comes store-bought with the Storm is pretty good.

Mac users are out of luck when it comes to syncing their Storms with their laptops. Where RIM provides a free application referred to as PocketMac that managed to sync older BlackBerries, there is not yet a program that makes it possible for Mac users to handle so with the Storm. Perhaps, if Mac users wait for a short time, RIM will release a PocketMac that best matches the BlackBerry Storm cell phone.

In conclusion, which there is some terrific hardware and software that the BlackBerry Storm features, a lot seems to be a marketing ploy which will convince potentional users that the BlackBerry Storm is ample rival to the iPhone. Unfortunately, aside features like a more advanced cam and better resolution, the overall UE of the BlackBerry Storm pales in contrast

HTC has rolled out different types of phones, including the S-series, T-series, X-series, A-series and the P-series. The S-series represents smart phones with HTC Rose achieving rave reviews among the lot, like HTC S900+, HTC S1. The touchscreen series or the T-series is the one that has contributed to the success of HTC immensely, like HTC T7278, HTC T4242. People eagerly await the launch of these phones with huge expectations. The latest offering in this series is the Hero which has been a huge hit. The X-series represents mobile computers and the P-series includes the PDA’s like HTC P800. No matter which series’ phones one talks about, HTC mobile phones have never disappointed its users till date and has infact given more than what they have expected. The HTC Magic is the latest successor to Google G1. The Magic is also dubbed the G2 as it is the latest Google Android handset. Vodafone has managed to get the exclusive supplier rights of this new internet focused phone and that means you get the phone only on their network. T- Mobile was the suppliers of the first Android handset, the G1. The slide keyboard is missing in HTC Magic but it has a touch screen keyboard and it runs the latest release of Android which is codenamed as “cupcake”. The Google G2 does not posses the physical QWERTY keyboard but instead has an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that is referred to as Cupcake. Due to this the thickness and the weight of the HTC Magic is reduced, making it look sleek, elegant and stylish. The only similarity in terms of looks between the two models is the chin at the bottom. This protects the handsets from scratches. As the Magic does not have the physical keyboard, its weight is reduced to 118.5 grams whereas the HTC G1 weighed 158 grams. But it is observed that a lot of people still prefer the G1 due to its physical keyboard. The original model did not have video recording and playback facility that is available now in HTC Magic, though it only supports 3GPP and MPGE4. If you consider black as ugly than opt for the Magic because it has a shiny finish and is white in color. The battery timing is the same in both the models but the stand-by time is greater in the HTC G2 model. The talk time is also more than 6 hours in the advanced model. G-sensor is include in the Magic version which was absent in G1. So with the latest version you can align the screen even if it is held vertically or horizontally. The two models are unique in their own way with a little bit of software up gradation in the newer version i.e. HTC Magic. The choice is ultimately with the user of the handset.

While it still isn’t in the United States yet, LG’s newest mobile phone uses the Android operating system.  Debuting as the LG GW620 in Europe and the Eve in Canada, the newest smart-phone from LG is using Android along with Windows Mobile as its OS.

It’s a slick smart-phone featuring a touch screen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard.  Other technical specifications include:

Dualband UMTS GSM WiFi and Bluetooth 2 or 4 GB internal storage microSD card slot 5 megapixel camera

One standout feature of this phone is the SNS Manager (Social Networking Service) that connects social media sites Facebook and Twitter into a single mobile application.  Facial recognition connects people in photos to the phone’s contact entry.

Android is an open source operating system designed specifically for mobile applications.  The company was acquired in 2005 by Google and the first Android OS phone was released last year.  Market research firm Gartner has predicted Android will be the second most popular OS for mobile phones by 2012.

Google has said there could be as many as 20 Android handsets available worldwide by the end of 2009.  Right now HTC has three Android handsets on the market and Motorola’s Droid sold 250,000 units during the first week it went on sale.  Once these other handsets are released I’m betting we’ll see much different numbers next year.  Wired has written there will be 12 new Android handsets available by the end of this year including the LG GW620.

The GW620 is a beautiful looking phone with a black face bordering the touch screen. Contemporary use of silver and grey distinguish the QWERTY keyboard.  Placement of the SD port and other input ports make the GW620 look just like a mini-computer.  By adopting the Android OS, handset makers can now focus more on design and functionality rather than having to worry about developing software.  Phone companies will be able to distinguish their products by design and this new LG phone reflects those efforts.

LG’s newest cell phone, the GW620 smart-phone with the Android OS will be released to market in the United States before the end of the year.  It is already available in Europe and is called the Eve in Canada.

Android or Windows Mobile: which is smarter to enjoy DVD and Video on your LG phone?

With the competition of mobile market becoming more and more intense, most of big mobile phone companies constantly introduce new products. After Motorola’s Droid, Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X3 and Samsung Galaxy I7500, LG Company finally announced its first Android mobile phone – GW620 and the GM730e using the latest Windows Mobile operating system. This GW620 mobile phone has been launched in Canada, and renamed LG Eve. Basically an evolution of LG’s QWERTY messaging phones, the GW620 looks a little bit like a slimmed down version of Motorola’s Dext phone, with similar functionality too. Compare with other smart phones, the GM730e with six lively and lovely intelligent elves will be formally listed. So the netizens are full curious with the six cute “elves” and expectative in this LG GM730e coming. Now I have a simple summary about them. Hope it could provide some useful information to LG mobile lovers.

GW620
The phone is slim to hold in the hand, with a full slide out QWERTY keyboard. A 5MP camera sits on the back (with single LED flash), with the unit coming in with dimensions of 106 x 55 x 12 mm and 3-inch screen. Behind the slide out section, there’s an opening for a microSD card, and the up/down rocker switch too, with the microUSB and camera shutter buttons hidden around the edge for good measure too. It fits nicely in the hand when in portrait mode – but the bad news is the screen is only resistive, meaning that scrolling and tapping our way through was a lot less intuitive that other Android phones.
Button wise – with a menu, back and terminate button the only options to play with. The interface is an odd fusion between LG’s S-Class and the vanilla Android system. The same S-Class options are employed on the front home screen as well – instead of scrolling left and right to access new screens, you now get that ’spinning’ cube interface for each new set of icons, which is a little cumbersome. Another nice touch is the presence of Facebook and Twitter baked right into the handset – send messages from your social networks right from the phone, something that’s becoming increasingly popular on today’s handsets (especially those based on Android).
Media is laid out in a similar way to Motorola’s Dext phone as well – in fact it’s identical, so we’re wondering if this is some kind of interface buried deep within Android that only Motorola and LG have managed to unearth.

GM730e
GM 730e unlike traditional smart phone inflexible and complicated, it is more convenient and interesting. But bringing this revolutionary change lies in its S-Class 3D user interface of LG originate. Its relationship with Windows Mobile operating system is equivalent to the “skin” and “muscles”. With the help of S-Class 3D interface, the function of Windows Mobile operating system is strong and optimization, even without any operating experience of the users can quickly learn to use. Easily dissolve the problem like the initial users “I don’t know how to delete the messages”.
As a revolutionary product, GM730e appearance is so stylized and conspicuous. Its fuselage size is 109.8 x 56.5 x 11.9 mm, airframe small and thin, extremely fashionable feeling. 3 inches WQVGA resolution (240 * 400 pixels) screen, giving users’ larger space, while LG also increased S-Class 3D interface Windows Mobile system menu name, promoted the accuracy of the fingers. In order to allow users to feel better convenience of GM730e experience and let S-Class 3D interface with Windows Mobile fusion more perfect, LG for GM730e made excellent hardware platform, the central processor of 528 MHZ supports accelerated 3D graphics functions, not only make 3D interface more fluent, but also maintain the speed of multitasking quick reaction. Windows Mobile system itself entertainment function is strong enough, but GM730e also equipped with 500 million pixels and high-definition camera, support auto-focus and shooting night function etc. It also provides GPS navigation software, built-in national maps and various kinds of travel interest, bringing convenient and reliable positioning navigation and experience for customers.

Both are good mobile phone. In this era of music and movie popular, people not only care phone’s hardware, but also has more attention on its multimedia function. Both new LG phones have a 5MP camera to be able to shoot video! It supports single LED flash, auto-focus, auto-white balance and auto-exposure, build-in media player. But they are different in supporting video and audio formats. GW620, support video format: WMV?MPEG4?H.264?ASF and 3GP, etc and audio format: MP3?AAC?WMA?WAV, etc. And GM730e, support video format: MP4?WMV and 3GP, etc and audio format: MP3?AAC?AAC+?E-AAC+?AMR?WMA and WAV, etc. If you haven’t MP4 or WMV videos on your computer, you may use Nidesoft DVD to LG Converter to convert DVD files into LG compatible formats or use Nidesoft LG video converter to convert all other video files into LG, just follow the step by step guide.
Step 1: Install and run Nidesoft LG Video Converter. Click “Add File” button to import your video from your computer.

Step 2: Click the “Format” drop-down list to select the right format for your Sony player.
Step 3: Click the “Convert” button and start the conversion. The conversion will be finished in a short time and then you may enjoy videos.
In addition to the above model, both software could also support various types of LG phones such as: LG KP500, LG GT540, LG KF740, LG GD510, and LG GD510, LG KC910,etc. It is not hard to think that both are essential auxiliary software to LG mobile phone users.

With the development of technology, these mobile phone hardware and software developed quickly. It’s important that Android is to go from geeky to mainstream. This has greatly improved our life. Enjoy music anytime and anywhere makes our life more colorful and wonderful. Let’s just enjoy our lives, enjoy our days!

Heres the question: Should I Get the Ciphone 3G Or the  HTC T5353 Diamond2 smart cell phone?

Ciphone 3G:

While both incredibly awesome smart phone, are great to have all at once. It is more likely we would only carry one by our side at all times.

Both the ciphone 3G WIFI and the HTC T5353 have great things about each other. But when it comes down to it, its more of a personal preference when choosing our phones we use.

So, to answer the big question on which smart phone should you get, should be based on key points between both iPhone, and the HTC T5353.

Key points to consider are, the Network the phone is established on, and the user experience on each phone.

HTC t5353:

The number one thing that should be considered is the service. The ciphone 3G wifi is married with AT&T, and the HTC T5353 is engaged with Verizon.

Verizon hands down has the best network service, with a greater 3G coverage than AT&T, and not to mention all those data hungry iPhones on AT&T sucking their GSM/HSPA towers dry daily. But, with AT&T’s GSM/HSPA network is standard in mort parts of the world. Meaning, you can bring your iPhone when you travel and still be able to pick it up and make a call outside of the US.

Second thing to consider is the user experience. Okay, let me tell you, there is really no learning curve when you first pick up an iPhone. You grab the iPhone, you wake it up, and now you in the most simplistic, and incredibly intuitive design. Easily being considered the quickest learnable smart phone known to man. While the Motorola Droid was built upon meeting a set of features all crammed into one, rather huge interface scattered about. Not to bash theHTC T5353 and all. It does in fact pack a punch with its ability to multitask far better than an iPhone.

Well, like I said, its all about personal preference. I have been a Mac fan for a while, but I’m not fond of the AT&T service.

You have to consider all key points of both iPhone, and HTC T5353 before reaching your decision.

So before you ask yourself “Should I get the CiPhone 3G or theHTC T5353 You should first consider both sides before your choice.

Here’s something else to consider, possibly a better way in choosing which smart phone to get.

Google Inc, the internet search giant has been planning for an all-out assault on the mobile-phone market via its own branded handset, which is called “Nexus One.” The new device will be one of the most advanced Smartphones present in the market with Android operating system and a large screen, and will directly challenge Apple’s iPhone supremacy in the sector.

Recently, the company has announced that the new phone has been distributed to employees to try out. It is reported that the handset would be sold via T-Mobile in US and unlocked version that can be capable of operating on any network, and will be available next month.

It is presumed that the device may steal the show from popular Android devices like the Motorola Droid, but can it stand tall against the Apple’s iPhone?

Specifications

According to sources, the new Nexus One will run Android 2.1 software and will be manufactured by HTC, exclusively for Google. It seems that the device is expected to feature onboard camera, Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Bluetooth, A-GPS (with Google Maps) and 3.5mm audio jack. Google has designed the entire user experience for the handset and it will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor.

Nexus One on T-Mobile?

According to latest report, Google has announced that it will sell two versions of its own branded cellphone viz. one with a service contract with T-Mobile USA after Verizon refusal and another will be sold online and unlocked. It seems that the new device will be available as soon as January 5.

Can it challenge Apple’s iPhone?

Google name: Various analysts predict that the new device from Google will challenge Apple’s iPhone dominance just like IBM mainframe versus the Macintosh tussle. The phone is yet to be launched but, people expect that Google’s official backing and design would certainly be welcomed with an instant fan base. Just like Apple, Google has also a huge base of trusted fans who would be the future buyers.

SIM unlocked: In contrast to Apple, the “Nexus One” will be available SIM unlocked, which means that users could insert a SIM card from their favorite wireless service vendor. However, it is reported that Google has joined hands with T-Mobile, to subsidize the prices for US consumers who agree to a service contract.

Price factor: It is expected that to challenge the supremacy of Apple’s offering via AT&T subsidies, Google will also adopt aggressive pricing. Also, it is reported that the search giant will combine its “Google Voice” feature in the phone, which will provide phone service with unlimited free calls.

Applications: However, in one area, Google has to work hard, which is the number of applications. Apple has made available well over 100,000 apps, whereas Android is far behind with 12,000 apps. It is true that the iPhone maker has mastered the apps market and recently updated iTunes to stay competitive.

Meanwhile, Google had acquired Admob Inc, a maker of technology that integrates ads into thousands of mobile phone apps for $750 million. The acquisition will certainly help the company to improve its weak front in future.

Discussion

Many analysts predict that the Nexus One will not support for Microsoft Outlook users, who had played a key role in BlackBerry’s enterprise and SMB success. Also, by adopting Android for its own Smartphone, Google can irritate other Android Partners. Meanwhile, it seems that the new handset will satisfy the needs of business users, and will be paired with various Google Apps and services.

HTC range of smart handsets come with a promise to impress the mobile users not only by its charm but also prove themselves the great communication devices. This time HTC has come out their new new surprising offer by the name of HTC Dream. Coming in a vibrant black color casing this smart phone certainly has an aesthetic appeal due to its nice cosmetic work.
