LG Inroduces Two Stylist Handsets GD330 Slidder & GD125 Chamshell

A couple of new LG mobile handsets come to light today, the LG GD330 and the LG GB125, and there aren’t that many details available on these two at the moment, but here’s what we do have…

 

The LG GD330 is a slider which should hit on March 25th with a 2.2 megapixel camera, FM radio and a couple of touch keys. The LG GD330 should command a price of approximately $200 but no word on which markets it will be hitting.

As for the LG GB125 is an entry level clamshell handset with a 1.5 inch display, FM radio and features a 950mAh battery. The LG GB125 is a basic handset and even lacks an external screen, and will probably go to emerging markets with a price tag of about $65.00.

TM Italy Launches LG “tribe” Exclusively………..!

 

Over in Italy, it appears as though operator TIM has scored an exclusive release of LG’s KS360 Messenger phone, which they have gleefully branded as the LG Tribe. As far as I know, “tribe” ain’t no Italian word I ever heard of, but this apparently is the case with this handset here.

 

Notice the striking resemblance between the LG Tribe and LG KS360. Well, they’re both from the same manufacturer, I’ll give them that. But at a glance, if you were not in Italy, it would be very hard to tell these two identical handsets apart.

Of course, the LG Tribe offers much of the same features and functions, too. There’s a slide-out QWERTY keyboard as can be clearly seen under the 2.4-inch screen, the lower part of its front face houses multiple hot keys while round the back is a built-in 2 megapixel camera.

 

The rest of the specs are basically the same as those found on the LG KS360. It is also said that the LG Tribe is targeted towards “generation Web 2.0,” which, what do you know? Was also the pitch of the KS360.

It goes for 149 Euros bundled with a Windows Live Messenger service that’s free for two months, and then costs 3 to 6 Euros a month for continued access.

Chinavasion-Projector Phones a Breakthrough for China Mobile Phone Makers

Apple, Motorola and Nokia heads take note … the next innovation leader you could face probably won’t come from Japan or the US, but China. Chinavasion’s launch of the projector phone is just one more sign that the future of mobile technology will come from China.

 

Shenzhen, Guangdong (PRWEB) September 25, 2008 — Apple, Motorola and Nokia heads take note … the next innovation leader you could face probably won’t come from Japan or the US, but China.

The projector phone’s release, an entire month ahead of the release of the hand-held projector, is just one more sign that more cell phone innovations will come from mainland China.

The cell phone with projector features is just one of the innovative designs and concepts coming out of Chinese cell phone makers and china cellphone wholesale companies these days.

A Taiwanese company is making the first Google Android run handset and one Chinese company has even started work on solar powered mobile phones.

 

china cellphone wholesale companies have not lagged in the innovation stakes. Wholesale dropship company Chinavasion is showing major brands a thing or two by offering the first competitively-priced or cell phone with projection function before any other major phone maker.

 

Rose Li, the PR manager for wholesale dropship company Chinavasion, was surprised at the hole in the market for a model of mobile phone with projector because people did so much with their phones.

 

"People simply want to see and do more with their screens," said Rose Li.

 

Chinavasion’s projector phone gives people a lot more screen to look at … approximately 80cm x 100cm, in fact.

 

Rose Li said what was especially good about the projector phone was none of the functionality of the multimedia mobile phone had been lost.

 

"The projector phone does everything a cell phone and a projector does," according to Rose Li. "The projector phone has just combined those two things to make one of the most convergent, innovative phones on the market today."

 

Rose Li said the projector phone did everything an international smart phone did, it also projected images from the screen onto a flat surface as well.

 

According to Rose Li it hadn’t been the first time Chinavasion had got a source for such an innovative product.

 

"Chinavasion is always on the lookout for the newest, latest and greatest in gadgets coming out of China," said Rose Li.

 

Want to see Chinavasion’s projector phone first-hand? Then come to Chinavasion, the mobile phone dropship company, the place where tomorrow’s china cellphone wholesale can be found today.

Palm m505 Reviewed

The Palm  m505 is the latest PDA from Palm Inc. and is the first to offer a color screen and an SD/MMC expansion slot. It is approximately the same size as the Palm V series but not close enough that peripherals and accessories designed for one will work with the other. The m505 sports the sleek look of its Palm Vx predecessor, but weighs just a bit more; 139g compared with the Vx’s 114g. It uses Motorola’s 33MHz Dragonball VZ processor, together with 8MB of static RAM memory and 4MB of Flash ROM.The m505’s screen retains the 160 x 160 pixels resolution as ever, but is a 16-bit, 65,536-colour, reflective side-lit display. Unfortunately there’s no adjustment to the brightness, so indoors the screen is a little dimmer than either the iPAQ or the Palm IIIc. But where the m505 scores is when it’s used in sunlight; the screen is just as viewable as the iPAQ, making it the first Palm screen that is truly usable in daylight.

Palm has taken a page from Handspring’s book and added an expansion slot to its latest model. However, at least until next Fall, the SD/MMC slot can only be used for memory expansion. The SD Association is still finalizing the process whereby input/output devices like modems will use the SD slot so we’ll have to wait a while to use this slot for anything else. The housing is mostly metal with a plastic strip all around the outside where the channel slots are. It certainly feels solid. In fact, it feels about as heavy as my IIIx, though Palm says the m505 is an ounce lighter. It certainly doesn’t feel as light as the m500, which almost floats off my hand. While it is a tiny bit thicker than the m500, I couldn’t really feel a size difference between them.

Acer S10 !

The Acer s10 is the first handheld to run a Chinese version of the Palm OS. It features MP3 and voice recording capabilities. The s10 has a 160 by 160 monochrome screen, 16 MB of RAM, a 33 MHz processor, and a Memory Stick expansion slot. Acer S10 uses Sony Memory Stick as memory card. The internal memory of palm itself which is only 16 MB cannot hold all data when I love to try new application and add more media to this handheld. I install lot of application for new and update application and info and also put lots of e-books for freetime reading. Later, I bought a 64 MB memory card which I think it’s quite expensive to add more memory. All data and music files copied to card by using an external card reader for fast and easy file management.

One of the neatest features is the ability to play MP3s. In order to do this you must have a Memory Stick, I recommend one that is at least 64 MB. There is no included software to help install the files so, unless you own a card reader, adding music is a painfully long process. The AudioBox application has everything you would expect to find on a standard MP3 player: shuffle, repeat, loop, etc. You can rearrange the tracks from the play list and exclude certain tracks. You can set the LCD to turn off at a set time, or do it manually yourself. The entire unit can be put on sleep mode for either 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

The quality of playback was surprisingly good. The internal speakers sound pretty similar to what you’d find in a standard laptop. The sound comes out a bit tinny, but it isn’t horrible. The volume is a bit too quiet though. I have gotten yelled at a few times at work for having it too loud, but in a crowded room the only way to hear it is to put it on max and hold it to your ear. The headphones, on the other hand, work wonderfully. The headphone jack is a bit smaller than standard, so if you don’t like the included ear buds you can’t just swap it for another pair you have lying around. But when you do use the headphones the quality is excellent and the volume is great.

Sony Clie PEG-SJ30 PDA

Sony has reinvented its entry-level offering with the new SL/SJ Series. This is Sony’s attempt to establish itself in the entry-level market currently dominated by Palm.With the introduction of the SJ30, Sony is shuffling its handheld series around a bit. For most of this year, it has had the very high-end NR series, the high-end to mid-range T series, and the entry-level S series. The SJ30 is the first S-series device to debut at over $200, and quite a bit over $200 at that. Therefore, Sony’s Clié line is currently made up of the very high-end NR series, the high-end T series, and the mid-range to entry-level S series.

If you really wanted the built-in MP3 player that comes with the T665C and NR70, but don’t want to spend the money now, you can buy Sony’s accessory MP3 audio player adapter for $129 later and you will be able to listen to MP3 music with the SJ30.The SJ30 has a 33 MHz Dragonball VZ processor that’s fast enough for the average user’s needs. 16 megs of internal memory is enough to store a heck of a lot of contacts, appointments and notes, along with a nice collection of 3rd party apps and Word/Excel docs.If you find you need more room, you can store docs and apps that are expansion-card friendly to optional Memory Sticks. Like past Clié PDAs, the unit is expandable via Sony’s Memory Stick technology. These are tiny stick-shaped removable memory cards already used in some Sony digital cameras, and supported by newer Sony VAIO notebooks.

In my mind it stands up well against its competition, the other mid-range color models: Palm’s m130 and Handspring’s Treo 90 ! 

ViewSonic V35 Pocket PC - The very Light Weight PDA for Professionals

Well The ViewSonic is well known for selling its monitors and LCD screens. But now they have decided to come into the Pocket PC marketplace with a PDA that has features like transflective LCD, currently the best technology in PDA screens. The iPAQ 3900 series and higher end Sony Cliés also have transflective LCDs, but this is the first bargain-priced PDA to offer this technology. Though the iPAQ 1910, also priced at $299 and announced Nov. 18th at Comdex, and the recently released Dell Axim X5 models also have a transflective screen. What’s the big deal about transflective displays? They look very color-saturated, bright, are evenly lit and have blacks that really look black.

Although it doesn’t look extraordinary yet it is housed in a usual rectangular case with straight panels and roundish corners. Only the bottom is a little curved. However, the computer is compact (122.5 mm 76.5 mm) and slim (12.6 mm), that is why users will like the design, especially those who prefer an austere style.well its lightweight design that fits easily in your pocket, briefcase, purse, backpack or hand, ViewSonic’s Pocket PC V35 keeps you organized, efficient and connected. And with an Intel* XScale* processor and advanced Microsoft* Pocket PC 2002 Premium Edition operating system, it provides you with powerful access to important information when you*re away from your PC. You can type a memo, work on a budget, watch MPEG videos and listen to MP3 files. You can even play music in the background while you*re working within other applications. Use the built-in voice recorder for important notes and insights, and transfer your e-mail and important office documents quickly and easily.

BlackBerry 8830 World Edition !

Well the BlackBerry 8830 measures 114mm x 66mm x 15mm (4.5" x 2.6" x .6") in size, which is 7mm longer and 16mm wider than the Pearl 8100. At 134g (4.7oz), though, it is 43g (1.5oz) heavier than the Pearl. The end result is a device that is a bit less pocketable, but one that offers a QWERTY keyboard and a larger, higher resolution display. It offers QVGA (320×240) pixel resolution in a landscape orientation and has good color saturation and brightness, even outdoors. The automatic brightness adjustment mode keeps the display readable while conserving battery power. The display measures about 2.4" across the diagonal, which is reasonable for a device of this size.

it also lets you view Microsoft Word, Miucrosoft Excel, and PDF files. BlackBerry Messenger is included, but we preferred to use the free Google Talk for BlackBerry Devices download, as it’s a more universal communication tool. You can also try IM+ ($49.95; shapeservices.com), which works with Google Talk as well as AOL, Windows Live Messenger, and Yahoo.Navigation on the 8830 is handled by the trackball. The trackball makes navigating large menus or emails a snap, and also obviates the need for a separate scroll-wheel. Pressing the trackball will act the same way as the center button would on a typical d-pad.

Pantech Duo C810 (AT&T) reviews !!!!

  it has a unique dual-slider design with a slide-out number dialpad plus a QWERTY keyboard. It comes with the Windows Mobile 6 OS as well as a 1.3-megapixel camera, quad-band support, HSDPA.Being a Smartphone is a good thing, but only if it does the basic stuff well, like dialing, voice calls and texting. Fortunately all these function work well: the sound quality is very decent and dialing a normal number with the keypad is very easy, just like on a normal phone, thanks to the dual keyboard. When searching for a contact by name, I tend to pop the QWERTY keyboard and type the first few letter of a contact, but one can also open the Contacts application and scroll up and down, but it’s annoying if there are a lot of entries.

it is best that I don’t benchmark the bandwidth right now, but from a real-world usage (in San Francisco) I would say that it feels as fast as the Samsung Blackjack, so I don’t expect a big surprise (good or bad) from the actual measurements.The most interesting part of the Duo’s physical design, as well as the part that involved the most compromises, is the slide out QWERTY keyboard. In order to keep the Duo’s overall thickness in check, Pantech had to make sure that the QWERTY keyboard was very thin. This led them to use fairly soft rubber keys that don’t provide very consistent tactile response. The space bar is particularly bad in this regard: pressing on the left or right edge of the key feels fine, but the key becomes very stiff feeling if it is pressed dead center. This lack of consistency, which is present on most of the keys (to a lesser extent), makes it hard for users to quickly and confidently enter text on the keyboard. One nice point about the keyboard is that numbers and symbols can be entered with a simple long press, removing the typically required Fn key shift from the input equation. The last keyboard related issue is the lack of a spring in the keyboard’s slider mechanism. There is no snap open or snap close, which lowers the overall sense of quality the Duo otherwise exhibits.
