Skyscraper aims to be a fully featured 3D virtual building simulator. Current development versions (cvs only; located on website) are written in C++ and use CrystalSpace and wxWidgets. The old stable version requires the TrueVision3D 6.2 engine.
Sony Ericsson’s upcoming Walkman W705 is a slider-style phone dedicated to music. The W705 comes with a 3.2-megapixel camera, an FM radio, integrated Wi-Fi, and an impressive 2.4-inch QVGA display capable of showing up to 256,000 colors.
The W705 picks up some nice features from other members of the Walkman family. It sports both Shake control (a motion sensor that lets you flick the phone to control games or to skip and shuffle between tracks) and SenseMe (which discovers music to match a particular mood and tempo). Though the phone will come with only 120MB of internal memory, a 4GB memory card will be included in the retail package.
The Sony Ericsson W705 can work on quad-band GSM networks and on dual-band (900/2100 MHz) 3G networks.
Asus’s P565, running on an 800-MHz processor, is dubbed the fastest phone in the world. Intended for business users, the P565 will run Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and use Asus’s Glide touch-responsive interface.
The P565 can run fast on the Internet, as well, with support for HSDPA technology. Business travelers will appreciate the phone’s ability to run on EDGE/GPRS/GSM 900/1800/1900 networks–perfect for globe-trotting trips.
The Asus P565 also sports a 3-megapixel camera, a 2.8-inch VGA touch screen, GPS, and Wi-Fi; as an extra touch, the battery lid is lined with black synthetic leather.
A follow-up to the HTC Touch HD, the Max 4G is the first GSM/WiMax phone to be announced. The Max 4G features a 3.8-inch, 800-by-480-pixel (WVGA) screen with 8GB of flash memory on board. It runs on triband EDGE speeds and, of course, WiMax.
The Max 4G is based on Windows Mobile OS, and uses the HTC TouchFlo 3D user interface. The handset has built-in support for FM radio, GPS, and Wi-Fi. It also boasts two cameras: a 3.2-megapixel one on the back and a VGA (640-by-480-pixel) one on the front for video calling.
Given that this phone runs on WiMax, Sprint could adopt this phone on its network, with a few modifications (such as a GSM antenna). Keep your fingers crossed.
Many industry observers consider the Nokia 5800 Express Music to be the next major iPhone competitor. Comparisons are inevitable, thanks to the 5800’s big, beautiful, 3.2-inch touch-screen display with support for 16 million colors. The phone has a 3.2-megapixel camera, dual LED flash, and an 8GB memory card (expansion capabilities go up to 16GB).
Other notable features include a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio with 3G UMTS/HSDPA, GPS with support for picture geotagging, Wi-Fi, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a TV-out port.
Accompanying the 5800 will be the Comes With Music package, which will allow users to download an unlimited number of songs from the Nokia Music Store for a year after the purchase of this phone.
We’ve seen a few concepts of this phone before, but now the Wave W10 has been officially announced by hardware manufacturer iRiver. The W10 will feature a 3-inch, 480-by-272 touch-screen display, and it will support Wi-Fi and FM radio.
The W10’s built-in music and media player will support H.264-coded video (high-quality compressed video), Adobe Flash Lite, and SRS WOW HD audio enhancement. The handset comes with 4GB of internal memory and can be expanded with miniSD memory cards.
Other nice additions include GPS, access to the Bugs Music Service for online audio, e-book capability, and an electronic dictionary.
If you’re a shutterbug, the Samsung Pixon is one phone to crave. A 3.2-inch, 240-by-400-pixel touch screen and an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus put this model at the top of our list of 2009 phones to long for.
Geared toward people with photography in mind, the Pixon delivers dual-power LED flash, advanced shake reduction, face detection, Smile Shot technology, face tagging, geotagging, and a photo browser with an accelerometer sensor (for tilt and flip).
The Pixon’s other media capabilities are not to be overlooked: It can record video at a resolution of 720 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second, or 120 frames per second at QVGA (1280 by 960) quality, and it can decode SRS Virtual 5.1 audio.
To round things out, the 13.8mm-thick Samsung Pixon can also provide high-speed mobile Internet via its 7.2-mbps HSDPA connectivity.
If you’ve had second thoughts about the BlackBerry Bold, regarding it as chunky and slightly underequipped, take a look at the forthcoming Curve 8900. This phone comes with Wi-Fi, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera with flash–and it’s the thinnest full-QWERTY BlackBerry ever, measuring only 13.5mm thick.
The Curve has an impressive 2.4-inch display with a resolution of 480 by 360 pixels, outranking even the BlackBerry Storm in pixel density. However, this phone has one big drawback: It offers no 3G connectivity, which could be a deal breaker. But the 8900 does retain the same user interface as the BlackBerry Bold, and the software capabilities are set to be equal.
Garmin has been making GPS devices since way before Apple even started to work on the iPhone. Now that GPS is an expected feature in the iPhone and other handsets, Garmin has decided to get into the cell phone market.
Delayed to 2009, Garmin’s Nuvifone is expected to outperform most GPS-capable smart phones with standard and advanced capabilities such as turn-by-turn, voice-prompted navigation and a database with millions of points of interest. One nifty feature allows drivers to find their cars more easily in crowded parking lots by marking the position at which they detached the Nuvifone from the vehicle mount.
Though the complete spec sheet of Garmin’s Nuvifone hasn’t been made public yet, the device will reportedly work on quad-band GSM with HSDPA support and will have a full HTML Web browser, an instant messenger, a camera with geotagging, and a media player.
LG’s Prada II phone updates its predecessor’s look with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard to accompany the 3-inch multitouch screen. That, plus plenty of bling, makes this phone one of LG’s top-of-the-line models.
The Prada II will sport a 5-megapixel camera and a secondary 0.3-megapixel camera for video calls; it will also offer Wi-Fi and FM radio, and will run on quad-band GSM with HSDPA (7.2 mbps).
Bundled with the phone will be a matching watch, which will be able to display your incoming calls and text messages–in addition to the time, of course.

Show the assorted shades of your style with Hue by Samsung. A colorful phone that fits your mood today, yet versatile enough to suit your style tomorrow. With interchangeable color faceplates, it’s all about customizing your phone to your unique personality. The Hue is as feature-rich as it is fashionable. Stay connected with IM, picture and video messaging. Take the party with you wherever you go with an MP3 player and Alltel Music Connect capabilities. Plus, the Hue is Celltop-ready so you can customize your phone with the information that’s important to you inside and out.
It’s hard to get us too terribly fired up over a low-end handset (MOTOFONE notably excepted), but the Samsung SCH-R500 "Hue" is, by all appearances, a hot little number considering its $40 price on contract. For forty bills, we’d typically expect a VGA cam, 1xRTT, and not terribly much else — but the Hue may very well be signaling a true changing of the low-end guard here by serving a 1.3 megapixel shooter, EV-DO data, and stereo frickin’ Bluetooth. Add in the fact that the flip’s available in five tasty interchangeable, and we’d say Alltel has a winner on its hands.

The Sony Ericsson W700i is almost identical to the W800i walkman phone. The only differences are the change to a new gold colour, a smaller memory card, and the lack of autofocus in the camera. The gold colour is attractive, and if the camera is not that important to you, you can save a few pounds by choosing the W700i. However, we would urge you to spend a little extra and choose the W810i which offers all the features of the W800i including autofocus and a 512 Mbyte memory card and has a 5-way navigation button instead of the slightly awkward joystick used on the W700i and W800i. Nevertheless, our users have awarded this phone 5 out of 5, and that doesn’t happen very often, so this tells you something about the high quality of this phone.
Features of the Sony Ericsson W700i include:

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. A 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. Amy Liu, the PR manager for phone wholesaler, Actfind, 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 Amy Liu. Actfind’s projector phone gives people a lot more screen to look at … approximately 80cm x 100cm, in fact.
Amy Liu 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 Amy Liu. "The projector phone has just combined those two things to make one of the most convergent, innovative phones on the market today."
Three band (tri band) multimedia cellphone with bright projector, interactive touchscreen, WAP, bluetooth, and big 1800mAh battery for extra long talk time and phone usage between charges. The tri-band technology and open SIM card slot in this mobile phone will keep you "unlocked" from any particular phone company and works on the network frequencies used by more than 100 countries worldwide. What makes the CVSL-112 even more unique is the projector feature. Simply switch on the external display option and project your movies or data on a wall. Perfect for fun or for meetings.
This is a truly easy to use multimedia mobile phone with its friendly touchscreen interface and well designed software that operates on interactive touch screen action.

Nokia’s luxurious Vertu series of mobile phones has added another three units to its range of Ascent high-end mobile phones, all themed around a Ferrari supercar. Previously, Nokia released a Vertu range designed to celebrate the classic race tracks of the world by featuring a small map of an individual track on the phone’s outer casing.
This time the phone’s inspiration comes from modern Ferrari’s, and only the Vertu Ascent ‘Ti’ model will be given the custom treatment. The Ferrari Ascent Ti range will be available in three colours, Nero (Black), Rosso (Red) and Giallo (Yellow), the three colors that usually adorn Ferrari models.
As with all Vertu’s a number of high-quality materials are used, including titanium for the exterior of the phone and sapphire for the mobile screen. According to Vertu, the battery cover at the rear has been altered from the standard Ascent Ti to more closely resemble the hood of a Ferrari model. In a side by side comparison of the two, a small bonnet bulge can be seen on the Ferrari themed phone, which is also accompanied by a 3D prancing horse emblem.
Additionally, the leather upper of the phone no longer bears the Vertu logo, but rather the letters spelling Ferrari in the company’s unique typeface. Other Ferrari themed features include Ferrari engine sounds for the ringtones, and Ferrari themed wallpapers.
While the standard Ascent Ti model will set you back around $6,600, Vertu also sell a version of the phone that lists at close to $300,000. Expect the limited-edition Ferrari themed Ascent Ti to command a hefty premium over the standard $6,600 model.
Motorola also introduces Ferari Inspirational Phones few months back.
Motorola has just released the limited edition Motorazr maxx V6 Ferrari Challenge mobile phone, complete with an engraved logo of Ferrari’s prancing horse, 30 images of the F430 supercar and a soft, hand-made Ferrari carry case in Ferrari-red leather. Also, when you switch off the phone, the sound of the F430’s V8 engine can be heard rumbling.
The multimedia phone can take photos, download content from the Internet, and even includes external touch controls to play music. Keeping with the performance theme, the phone is enabled with High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, or HSDPA, technology that allows for faster data transfer speeds.
Ferrari’s merchandise stores will be stocking the phone as well as the usual Motorola dealers and online retailers at a cost of €490. Main rival Nokia previously released a range of its high-end Vertu series of mobile phones with engravings of famous racetracks on its casing.
