Author: admin

Nokia have finally announced the E71, their QWERTY keyboard Symbian phone. The specs had been leaked a while ago – but here are the full features and specifications. The Nokia E71 is an upgrade to the E61i, it is a more compact and faster version of it’s predecessor – but sadly the compacting has made the screen smaller and keyboard slightly cramped.
It does make up for the smaller screen with a host of great features, such as the 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash and A-GPS is in built with the basic functionality of Nokia maps for free (full functionality is available for a fee). The Nokia E71 is a HSDPA handset and should allow for a maximum download speed of 3.6mbps where supported. There is also Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and EDGE connections.
For the business people among you the Nokia E71 has the usual smartphone applications and features such as push email, a document viewer and office applications. While those who are looking for a little more fun should find it in the form of the multimedia player.
The Nokia E71 is a compact phone, and much smaller than its predecessor – however the size could have made the keys a little too cramped to be used with comfort and the screen is quite small. With many new smartphone trying to compete with the new 3G iPhone it is possibly going to hinder the Nokia E71 that it has such a small screen and is lacking a touchscreen.
If the Nokia E71 is your kind of thing then look out for it in July 2007 in either Grey Steel or White Steel colours.
LG Prefers practical design… Or not!
Author: admin
LG’s new KF700 feels good in your hands. It may feel bulky at first but the smooth lines as well as the slick sliding function to reveal an alphanumeric keypad will make you fall in love with this device immediately. LG has decided to invest into a hybrid phone: touchscreen with a functional keypad. Although Samsung has done the same before, LG tries to be practical about it and instead of incorporating a full QWERTY keyboard, they settled for a normal keypad and it turned out a Sheer beauty.
The LG KF700 is interface-intensive, that means the designers at LG decide to make better use of the idea on making the interface simple, friendly and functional. New widgets are added into this mobile phone. They can be accessed easily from the right pane by simple sliding. Using haptic technology, moving around the many functions is very easy. You can use very gentle presses and the phone will respond with a soft vibration to confirm your choice.
A shortcut key at the back helps the user scroll down the different menu options. The only downside to this is its inability to choose the menu icon. You still have to click the OK button on the front of the phone. They have also decided to integrate faster download times with an HSDPA speed of up to 7.2 mbps. WAP and HTML browser can be used completely with tabbed browsing. Unfortunately, this phone lacks WiFi capability. But with connectivity options of both Bluetooth and USB 2.0, who needs unreliable WiFi?
Sound is excellent when it comes to the LG KF700’s music player and a loudspeaker option is also available. It also has a trusty FM radio but without RDS feeds. You can, however, store at least 20 stations manually. The camera is pretty standard at 3 megapixels but its autofocus and image stabilizer helps the user get constant beautiful pictures. The touchscreen can have you show the pictures in landscape or panoramic views. The best thing about the large 3-inch screen display is the widescreen option that you can choose to play or watch videos with.
New mobiles in stores?
Author: admin
I was wondering, how often people actually buy mobile phones, while there is a new model released almost every day. Okay, maybe not every day, but for sure 1-2 models a week we will see if we follow closely all the mobile manufacturers. Who buys so much? Does it pay out to invest in development of a new cell phone model, knowing in half a year from now it will already be outdated and there is no big chance of actually selling your model, since the competition is enormous. I am really curious but unfortunately will never know the answer!

PDA’s are Personal Digital Assistant that brings technology in the palm of your hand. They are also known as small or palmtop computers. They are used as mini portable computers for carrying around and working on Operating Systems (OS). Earlier PDA’s were mostly touch screen and only later turned into color. Now PDA’s have combined with mobile phone technology to give out Smart phones, which serve multiple purposes pertaining to mobile usage and even computers handling.
Smart phones have no rigid definition to their identity. A phone supporting an OS and making use of higher end applications which aren’t used by most mobile phones or combine more user friendly applications relating to entertainment or utility are considered as Smart phones. These self defined Smart phones have come a long way. E-mails and using office applications on phone have become a regular feature for these devices. They are now starting to include GPS (Global Positioning System), i.e. providing detailed map of a place in your cell. This for the first time is introduced by Nokia in India. Though GPS was not permitted in India a bill has been recently passed and the usage is now allowed. With GPS even the tiniest turn can be detected and one would not be lost in the webbed road connections of India.

Cell Phoneon Planes - Now Possible!
Author: admin
On Friday 21s March 2008 the first ever mobile call on a plane was made on a flight between Dubai and Casablanca. The call was made as an authorised test on an Emirates flight.
Ofcom have since announced that they have approved the use of mobile phones on planes within EU airspace. Ofcom hopes that the plans will come together as soon as practically possible, and we could see mobile phone calls on planes as early as this year!
There is a lot of planning that needs to be made before calls can be made, it is not as simple as being allowed to switch your phone on and call your mum. Aircraft will have to be fitted with a base station, which can only be turned on by the plane staff once the plane is at an altitude of 3,000 metres. You will then be able to use 2G for voice and text, and Ofcom hope that 3G will be available once this proves successful.
Now the call charges will not have the EU cap applied to them, and no word has been said yet on the possible costs for a call from a mobile on a plane, but Ofcom have vowed to monitor the situation closely. Read the rest of this entry »
