Nokia seems almost as big as Samsung in the way of phones right now and I can tell you for sure that their brand new phones are coming out of the woodwork and are certainly making all sorts of waves. Take the brand new Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Games Edition – this phone is definitely one for the gamers.
It comes pre-loaded with about 20 games from EA Mobile and Gameloft and I can tell you for sure, that this phone is definitely one that will keep you occupied whenever you are bored. If you want the specs – here they are: a 3.2-megapixel AF camera, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, and a 70MB internal memory, and an included 4GB microSD card. Unfortunately, the phone doesn’t support 3G.
This particular phone goes for about $269.00 in the states and it is definitely one for the books!
When midnight strikes on December 31 and January 1, 2010 comes to pass, there will be a lot of important questions to think about in the new year.
Granted, for most people, they will not be concerned about what proved to be the most popular phone of 2010, but frankly, this is Cell Phones & Smartphones, and we are interested in such things. That’s kind of our job, you know?
For all intents and purposes and by all available accounts, the winner of that title is none other than the iPhone.
But is that true? I do not have an iPhone, and my life is not in some way lacking because of it. I am inclined to like it better than the Android, but that is only because my half wit brother in law and his pseudo clever hag of a fiance insist it is better than the iPhone, which they have never in life used.
So you, the public: what do you guys think?
Samsung is definitely the company to beat in the way of cell phones and if you remember – the all new Samsung M5650 is the newest phone by this particular company.
This fully music-focused cell phone is not going to be released in the states just yet though, the brand new Samsung M5650 is going to be released in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and finally India and China as of right now.
To me – that’s sad, as I would absolutely love to see the Samsung M5650 released in the states.
With so many choices out there, picking out the right cell phone can be hard. You need to begin by figuring out what you need. Will a basic phone be better, or one with all the bells and whistles? Do you need GPS, or can you do without it?
Secondly, think about add ons. Do you need an instant messenger service? Do you send a lot of text messages? Features like these may be a luxury you cannot afford. You need to think long and hard about what you really need.
You also need to decide what kind of style of phone you would prefer, whether a flip phone, a touch screen, or another style will suit you best.
And above all, make sure you read reviews before you buy a new cell phone. See what works for other people and what might be a dud.
The Blackberry has long been a hugely popular phone, although it can be a bit out of reach for some people. T-Mobile is aiming to fix that inasmuch as possible, by offering a prepaid Blackberry. The phone plan will go for sixty dollars and neither a contract nor a credit check will be required.
Actually, plans will start out at fifty dollars a month. For that, you can get unlimited voice. The sixty dollar a month plan allows for extras, like unlimited voice along with unlimited text messages. For eighty dollars a month, users can get unlimited voice, unlimited text, and unlimited Web access.
Prepaid plans are increasingly more popular, largely due to the fact that they do not require any long term commitments and because, of course, they tend to be less expensive.
The Blackberry Curve 8520 will be one of four phones T-Mobiles offers with a prepaid plan.
I have to say that I was waiting for a company to come out with a waterproof camera phone. Finally, Fujitsu has done it with the brand new Fujitsu F-10B. This is a clamshell phone that is actually pretty cool in the long run … not just because it is waterproof. It is also a phone that has a 12MP camera with face recognition – that is not something that a lot of cell phones have, I can tell you that.
Another great thing about the camera on this phone is the autofocus as well as the 6.2X super zoom. Other features of the Fujitsu F-10B also include a GPS as well as a Dolby Mobile for 5.1 channel surround output and GSM international roaming. You can use this particular phone under about 1.5 meters of water, which is fantastic if you love the water!
Right now – no word on pricing or when it will be released, but soon enough, I can promise you that!
The Casio Exilim officially emerged earlier this year, in the summer. Created for Verizon, it has an enviable 5.1 megapixel camera with full features — and that is pretty much the extent of what the phone has to offer.
All right, that may be a slight exaggeration, but users and reviewers alike tend to say that this is a camera that just happens to be attached to a phone, rather than a phone that just happens to include a great camera.
What I mean is, it does not really appear that the Exilim C721’s other features match the features of the camera.
It has the basics, of course — it plays music, it can browse the web, it has Bluetooth capability, yadda, yadda, yadda — but those features are not great. Compared with the camera, they are practically dog food.
So really, this phone is ideal for people who like to take stellar pictures, but do not really need all that much out of their cell phones.
The Samsung Moment M900 was released for Sprint and it runs on the Google Android operating system. As well, it integrates Google Maps, Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and many other applications which are available on Google’s Android Market. It has a 3.2 inch AMOLED touch screen which provides crisp colors and wide viewing angles. The handset gets its power from an 800 MHz processor with Wi Fi capabilities as well as integrated GPS navigation.
The phone also features a 3.2 megapixel camera; it is built in, has auto focus, a flash, and a camcorder. The Moment has stereo Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology; Sprint TV with both live and on demand programs; access to popular social networking sites; memory which can be expanded up to 32GB; a media player; visual voicemail; and tons of other features as well.
When I heard that Palm is going to come out with a brand new operating system, my first question was about iTunes. Personally, I use iTunes all of the time and for a new operating system to be introduced into the palm family, I needed to know that it was going to be compatible with iTunes.
Well, the WebOS 1.2.1 for the Palm Pre actually allows the users to sync their Palm Pre with their iTunes account! The new WebOS 1.2.1 is actually really fast too and the display will be high-quality and will show full-screen images and will actually enable the user to store more photos on their phones.
If you are looking for a brand new phone – you might want to consider getting yourself the Pre Palm!
The Samsung Intensity U450 is the latest phone featuring a full QWERTY keyboard which has been released lately. However, it is targeted at different users than some of its brethren. It is considered competition for such phones as the Motorola Rival and the LG enV3 — at least supposedly, because compared to the other two, the enV3 clearly comes out on top.
I have to be honest, I don’t know that I’m a big fan of the Samsung Intensity U450. For one thing, you only get to choose between two color schemes — grey and flaming red. This may not seem important to some of you, but it’s a big deal for a lot of girls out there.
Beyond that, it looks a little bit cheap, as you can see in the picture here. Reviewers also warn that the battery cover tends to feel quite breakable.
