New Handphone Mobilephone Review

A reputable rumor suggests that the next iPad will arrive in early 2011 with much needed upgrades

Rumors have been coming in about the iPad for months now, but the most solid evidence of what users might expect comes from Reuters, who cite multiple supplier sources that claim production is set to begin soon for an early 2011 release.

The new and improved iPad is expected to be thinner and lighter with a higher-resolution display and cameras on both the front and back.

No surprises there – it only makes sense that Apple would look to improve upon the iPads most obvious shortcomings with the next version (and continue to push FaceTime). Plus, an early release in 2011 would be in line with Apple’s yearly product cycle. In this case, April 2011 would be the most likely candidate.

LG Mini GD880 Now Available, Supports HTML5

Back when the LG Mini GD880 was announced, it was touted as the smallest 3.2-inch touchscreen on the market. Now that it has gone on sale in Europe (starting today), we get a few more details to go with that.

Apart from the impressive size, the handset ships with the Webkit-based Phantom Browser, making it LG's first phone to support HTML5. According the the press release, the new addition should make for "a much faster and more stable internet experience." HTML5 compatibility means it now supports full desktop versions of Google Latitude, Google Maps, Google Buzz, Google Calendar and Gmail, while an expanded memory allows it to open up to ten browser windows at the same time. It also boasts improved Javascript and Flash support, although we'll probably have to see about that.

The LG Mini GD880 is a sleek-looking phone, with boxy corners, textured metal accents and a button-less face. Details include a 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen, a 5.0 megapixel camera module, aGPS, stereo Bluetooth, HSDPA, WiFi and FM radio.

It also comes with preloaded social networking apps and LG Air Sync, which lets you wirelessly synchronize information between the phone, a computer and the web. A new On Screen Phone feature works hand in hand with the Air Sync, allowing you to see the phone's UI on your computer so you can drag and drop files at will - a potentially useful feature in cases where you forget to bring your phone and end up needing files from it.

Pricing for the LG Mini GD880 will vary from country to country, so check with your local carrier.

Acer Liquid S100 Mobile Phone

Full Review

The Acer Liquid brings with it some impressive hardware specs as well as the Android operating system, freeing you from Windows Mobile, which Acer has been pushing thus far, in their quest for smartphone glory. Our hands-on with the Liquid certainly went down well when it was announced in October and we've been putting the phone through its paces once again and we're impressed by what is on offer here.

The handset has a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, with an impressive 800 x 480 resolution. We can see why it is called the liquid as when the screen is turned off, it's like peering into an inky pool. Power it up and the display really impresses: it is sharp, bright and the seamless finish across the front of the device is one we like.

Below the screen are the customary four controls you expect with Android - home, search, back and menu - and here they are presented as backlit touch controls, part of the display. If you like to get funky with your phone in the dark, it takes some stabbing around before you find the right key, as they are only illuminated when you touch them.

That 3.5-inch display means the dimensions of the handset come in at 115 x 64 x 12.75mm, which is middle ground for a smartphone, close to the dimensions of the Apple iPhone. The weight of 135g isn't a bother either: it feels weighty enough in the hand to be taken seriously, which is a good thing.

The construction of the handset is plastic - top, bottom and back - so it doesn't have the premium look or feel that some rivals do. It doesn't get a luscious Teflon coating like the HTC Hero and it does feel a little cheap. The plastic back isn't so attractive and will creak a little under manipulation. As is often the Acer way, there is a touch of budget about the Liquid.

The bottom of the device features a Mini-USB for charging and syncing, covered by a flap that neither matches the rest of the plastic on the bottom, or seems sturdy enough to pass the test of time.

The left-hand side of the device gives you the power button, the right-hand side the camera button and volume rocker. The top features a 3.5mm headphone jack and a line of hidden status LEDs that illuminate with battery, message and a call indicator. It's a nice touch and means you can see the status of your phone at a glance.

The positioning of the buttons is a little awkward. Set on the rear side of the curve making them a little difficult to press, especially the camera button. You need to use the power button to wake the device from sleep and for a button you have to use a lot, we wish it was better placed. Also, we were forever pressing the power button when using the camera, as a sturdy grip buts it right under your thumb.

Around the back is a 5-megapixel camera but no flash. Remove the back cover and you are presented with a 1350mAh battery that you'll have to remove to access the SIM card and microSD card slots. With an internal memory of only 256MB available for storage, you'll be needing that memory card. Our test device came with microSD to SD card converter suggesting that one will be bundled when you buy the device, although the actual microSD card was missing.

The Android experience presented by Acer is relatively free from customisation, fairly well removed from what you'll get from HTC Sense or the Motoblur. Instead the homepage is a simple 3-page job, offering left and right swipes from the centre and a few widgets to get you going.

The homepages come with two of the widgets already deployed, and these give you media and browser carousels attached to the left- or right-hand side of the display. They do take up most of the page and limit what else you can add and we were almost wishing for another page. Cleverly the media carousel can be switched between video, music and photos, to quickly get to what you want.

Widgets also include a neat shortcut bar to give a one-button toggle to Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, background syncing and screen brightness and is well worth using. Besides widgets you can add the normal contact or bookmark shortcuts, as well as application shortcuts, for quick access to what you actually want.

There is some duplication of settings and applications, but we like the fact, however, that Acer have included an easy OTA checker for the Liquid to deliver updates. The liquid runs Android 1.6, but we don't know for certain when or if an update to 2.0 will happen.

We originally reported that the Liquid would feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, but the included Qualcomm QSD 8250 has been throttled to 768MHz, rather than the 1GHz we'd anticipated. The Liquid is snappy, with applications loading quickly and multitasking with relative ease.

But not everything is perfect. There are some occasions when we'd open an application and be left waiting for something to happen with a blank screen, or options that we couldn't select in some applications. We also found the camcorder application would crash with longer captures, suggesting something isn't quite right. Crashes happen with all devices, so it isn't devastating, but there is certainly space for some improvements here. We had troubles pairing it with our Mac over Bluetooth, again, an error cropping up, suggesting that something isn't quite as it should be. The user manual comes bundled on a CD in the box, which suggest that drivers are also included for your PC, although they appeared to be absent.

Being an Android device you get all the benefits of Google integration at the core. Sign in with a Google (or Google Apps) account and your email, calendars and contacts will fall into place, integrating with Google Maps. It's a cluster of applications that makes Android devices a pleasure to use and the Liquid is no different.

Where it is different from the likes of the HTC Hero and Motorola DEXT is how far the integration extends beyond Android. Those devices give you quick and easy access and integration of the most common social networks. Lurking in a sub menu of contacts we found Acer Social Networking.

Acer Social Networking is something of an anticlimax. It allows you to add social network information to your contacts: Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Picasa and Twitter. (Facebook will run a search and pair up contacts, entering their Facebook identifier into the contact entry.) You can set an update schedule, but alerts appear alongside a contact, so you're unlikely to see them if you know a lot of people.

We like the easy approach of HTC and Motorola in integrating your social networks - if you are a fan, then it works nicely. Here it doesn't. Fortunately Android Marketplace will give you apps to cover pretty much everything anyway, regardless of what your contacts are doing. That means Facebook, Twitter, cross platform IM apps such as Nimbuzz and you'll find yourself assimilated into your digital existence without issue.

Acer haven't changed the Android keyboard, so it works very much as it was designed. We found that there was no predictive text option, or any sign of intelligent corrections (despite selecting these options in the settings). If we made a mistake, that's what we got, making it a little cumbersome. The response was good so speedy typing is possible if you are accurate, but we found that reverting to make corrections did slow us down.

The browser hasn't been touched either, so you don't get multi-touch zooming, but you do get a browser that is relatively fast and handles full webpages well.

The Acer Liquid features motion and proximity sensors, so the screen will orient itself to landscape or portrait respectively, although both aspects aren't supported in all applications. The proximity sensor will lock the screen when it is next to your face, and then present you with options mid call when you pull it away – like engage speakerphone, put a call on hold, dial someone else for an ad hoc conference call.

As a phone, callers reported no problems and came through loud and clear at our end too. The design does put a hard ridge across your ear however, so long calls can be a little uncomfortable.

Camera performance is typical for a 5-megapixel camera phone. Images lack sharpness of a real camera, but the autofocus works well enough. Some superficial settings options are presented. Video offers capture at 640 x 480 pixel resolution maximum and our test videos came in at 22fps, the results of which aren't too bad.

The screen really lends itself to video playback, however, thanks to that sharp resolution. It supports 3GP, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 files, although as always you need to watch the codecs. nemoPlayer is pre-loaded (along with some other apps) to handle media and works well enough. Audio playback, once you bring in your own headphones is pretty good, although with multiple media players on-board, it can get a little confusing, and you might end up with tracks playing on more than one player at the same time.

The Liquid also has designs as a media server, allowing you to share content over your network. We could see it on a PC, but couldn't access any of the content, so don't get too excited just yet.

In typical usage (i.e., live, on the streets) we got about 12 hours from the battery. This included a typical use of data, emails, the occasional app, using the GPS to locate a venue and so on. We made calls sparingly, turning off Wi-Fi when away from a connection to conserve battery. Using the media player will draw further, so the battery life is average: you'll still need to charge it every night and on a heavy use day, you might end up with a flat battery.

Samsung Galaxy S will be Unveiled at CTIA Wireless 2010


Samsung has taken the covers off of their new Android phone, the Galaxy S. The announcement of the new mobile handset was delivered this morning by J.K. Shin, president of Samsung Mobile.

First, the Galaxy S comes with a 1GHz CPU which Shin was quoted as saying will be the new processor standard for Samsung so as to allow the company to deliver better resolution for graphics, video streaming and other multimedia displays. To take advantage of the faster processor, the Galaxy S comes with a Super AMOLED display screen that measures 4-inches in size and offers greater screen brightness while at the same time improving battery life by up to 20%.

According to Shin, the faster processor and display screen are great, but equally important is the availability of digital content to take advantage of new hardware. In that regards, the Galaxy S has been designed for optimized viewing of full length feature films and other video content. Also in the works are deals to deliver newspaper, magazine and ebook content.


CTIA Wireless 2010 is just around the corner, and Samsung is preparing to launch Samsung Galaxy S, an Android-powered smart phone with 4-inch AMOLED touch screen, in the show. The Galaxy S will be running on the latest Android 2.1 operating system, rivaling HTC Evo 4G Android. This Samsung smartphone features a 5-megapixel digital camera and 1GHz processor. We hope to learn which carrier in United States will carry Samsung Galaxy S in the show.

Motorola's New Android Phone Ships With An Old Version Of Android, No Multi-Touch 'Pinch' Zoom

Another day, another Google Android-powered smartphone. This time, it's the Motorola i1, the first Android phone that supports push-to-talk walkie-talkie service via Sprint's Nextel network.

Two shortcomings: Motorola confirms to us that the i1 will ship with an old version of Android -- 1.5 -- though it could eventually be updated over the air. And Motorola confirms the i1 won't include multi-touch "pinch" zooming -- a feature made popular by the iPhone, but present in other Android phones like the Nexus One.

These are probably not deal-breaker features for anyone who values push-to-talk more than any other feature -- which is likely the only reason they're loyal to Nextel in the first place. And, to be sure, the Motorola i1 is much better than the vast majority of Nextel phones ever offered.

But it's just one more example of the Android market becoming increasingly fragmented, as different phone vendors ship more phones running different (often outdated) versions of the same software, with different hardware configurations. It's becoming impossible for a developer to be able to write one app and assume it'll work the same on every Android phone.

Android's open-source basis and flexible nature may, in the long run, be its best asset. But it is not stopping Android from becoming more confusing to developers and consumers.

Nokia E72

Introduction / Preview : Nokia E72

Swift, slim and resourceful are three words that accurately describe the new Nokia E72. Nokia's latest full QWERTY smartphone brings a rich mobile email and instant messaging experience right out of the box, making it the ideal device for people that want to be productive in both their personal and professional lives.

Building on the formula from the hugely successful Nokia E71, Nokia's best selling QWERTY device to date, this latest arrival in Nokia's Eseries family maintains essential elements of its predecessor, whilst still improving its capabilities in a number of areas. Nokia also upgraded the camera to 5 megapixels and added a standard 3.5 mm audio jack.

On top of these developments, for the first time, owners will be able to set up instant messaging (IM) accounts provided by Nokia Messaging direct from the homescreen. In just a few steps, device owners will be able to connect to their favorite IM accounts such as Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi, amongst many others.

These new IM features are complimented by Nokia's range of email solutions with a lifetime license for Nokia's mobile email and IM service, Nokia Messaging, as well as onboard clients for Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler. Accessing popular accounts such as Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail, Ovi Mail and thousands of other email service providers is simple through improved on-device email setup, with the same easy to use UI integrating all of the owner's corporate email accounts as well.

Performance improvements are evident throughout the user experience including faster Internet up- and downlink speeds. Other notable features which should make the Nokia E72 as popular as recent Nokia Eseries introductions include A-GPS and compass with integrated Maps, including lifetime walk and 10 days of turn-by-turn navigation if activated within the first three months. Conversations are also clearer with active noise cancellation, and a torch can be activated with a single press of the spacebar key. The office capabilities have been updated with a new version of Quickoffice, which delivers Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility as well as free version upgrades when new features become available.

The Nokia E72 is expected to begin shipping late in the third quarter of 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies.

New The LG VX9400 has a swiveling wide screen.it has a 2.2 inches display.The LG VX9400 is equipped to provide a great TV experience. Its 262,000-color display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels gives a crisp and stunning image, clear enough to view TV. You can swivel the display to landscape mode or rest the LG VX9400 sideways on a table. But, even though the speaker's volume is strong enough for normal urban environments, don't count on it in extra noisy places like under a hair salon dryer, in a store or near a construction site.

Samsung A887 Solstice



Samsung Solstice sports a touch-screen design with few physical controls. It shows characteristics of several previous Samsung models. The Solstice offers a trim design with rounded corners, it measures 4.3 inches by 2.1 inches by 0.5 inch and weighs 3.3 ounces, which gives it a comfortable and sturdy feel in the hand.

With support for 262,000 colors and 400×240 pixels, it has a pleasant resolution that shows colors and graphics well. Samsung’s TouchWiz interface gives you instant access to a variety of features, though we wish its customization options were more extensive. The icon-based menu interface is simple and intuitive. Permanent touch icons on the bottom of the screen open the dialpad, the phone book, and the main menu.



The 2-megapixel camera takes pictures in five resolutions, from 1,600×1,200 pixels down to 320×240 pixels, and you can choose from four quality settings. Other editing options include four color effects, exposure metering, four white-balance settings, an adjustable brightness, a night mode, and a self-timer. The Solstice also features three shooting modes (continuous, panorama, and mosaic), 20 frames, and a “smile shot” option that promises to detect when a subject is smiling.

New 3G Mobile Phone Manufacturer in UK



Europe UK : In recent years, the world of mobile phones have turned a shade of grey. A thin line separating one company’s design from the other. Neo, a new mobile phone company, claims to be the brand to add some long awaited flavor back into the mobile phone industry. Above shows the GSM TriBand Neo 808i. Specification below.

Neo is all set to launch a new generation of mobile phones that are fashionable to own and technologically advanced to use. Currently in talks with global distributors and networks, Neo phones are slated for a March 2007 launch in the Middle East and will be available in Europe by April.

Pushing the limits of phone design, Neo will be launching its first mobile phone, the 808i that will be one of the smallest and lightest phones in today’s marketplace. Measuring only 65mm x 40mm x 13mm and weighing less than 90g. For those who don’t have a ruler handy, lets just say that it is about half the size of your current mobile phone, if not smaller.

Despite its small size, the phone will pack in great features like a 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth, MP3 & MP4 player, WAP capability and a memory slot expandable to 2 GB. Each phone will come with a built in 128mb storage and a free 128mb micro SD card. Neo also plans to launch a new line of phones with Wifi and 3G capabilities in the second quarter of 2007.

Neo is dedicated to launching new and innovative designs into the market. Pallav Patel, President of Neo Products Limited, says, “Over the years, mobile phones have become a necessity, without which our lives would come to a stand still. Always in our hands and in the eyes of the people around us, we all want our phones to be unique. Neo phones have a look that will set them apart from all other phones. We believe that phones need to be more than just a necessity; they have to be an extension of our personalities and be a USEFUL fashion accessory instead. We all want phones with the latest technology. Neo encapsulates that technology within a distinctive shell. We don’t intend to be just another mobile phone brand that will be lost amongst the crowd. We are introducing a fresh, innovative and dynamic new brand; whose primary focus is - “Your Style”. Being Neo’s ethos, “Your Style” is the backbone of all our creations. And it is this approach that will keep our customers wanting to see what’s next,”
