It almost seems that amongst the other announcements today, Vincent had his own personal agenda to get his hands on as many Android OS based handsets as possible. He didn’t do too bad either by hitting up Qualcomm, TI, and ARM, all of which had booths with their prototypes.
This new system has a 750MHz ARM11 processor that can run through 720p video like it was nothing. There is also an ultra-low power GeForce core in there that handles the media such as encoding and decoding the 720p video and up to 12MP pics.
Since the announcement of Nuvifone by Garmin, Vince and I have been very interested in seeing the device personally. While I was unable to go to Barcelona this year, Vince is taking one for the team and managed to have one on one time with the Nuvifone.
If you thought the N95 was hot (and it is) you should see its younger sibling, the new N96. It has a sleeker physique and shine that is hard to look away from, alright, enough with the human/phone analogy, they didn’t just update the appearance, this phone has some nice specs too.
Other than the new N96, Nokia is dropping the N78, 6220, and 6210 devices and the new Version 2.0 of their Nokia Maps application. They all have their intended audience, the N78 is for the professional who is also into photography, the 6220 is intended for those not looking for something as full-featured as the [...]
This phone is amazing, at least from my point of view, music is my drug of choice so the 8GB of built in storage and the integrated FM transmitter are two features of this phone I love. Add to that the TrackID service that can help you figure out what you are listening to and [...]
There were rumors of a water-proof phone coming from Sony Ericsson today, and they were right, sort of. The 702 is the splash proof camera phone with a 3.2MP camera, integrated GPS that can be used with Geo-tagging as well as navigation and Google Maps.
They are kind of being billed as digital organizers, which sounds like code for “just short of a smartphone” but they are pretty nice phones, and if they have a reasonable price their features and cheap price should make them appeal to the public. Both phones have a 2.4-inch touchscreen and a numeric keypad and [...]
It has UMTS/HSDPA 2100, GSM/EDGE 900/1800/1900, and PUSH email support via MS Exchange (kind of like the BlackBerry email system). It has a mobile web browser, an RSS client, and a weather forecasting app.
Samsung’s latest and greatest coming at you from Barcelona, Vince finally got some hands on time with the i900 and a phone we haven’t seen before, the U900 Soul. The i900 is supposed to be the slimmer, keyboard-free cousin of the F700v or “Croix”, the U900 on the other hand is completely new.
