Author: Serge Novikov     Translation by:     

If you dealt with Symbian S60 smartphones, you remember they had Pencil key to edit text and change text modes. Well, Nokia decided to get rid of this key in its future devices considering it useless, and the company revised the software. This fact is confirmed almost official in company’s blog dedicated to S60 devices. The N92 will be the first smartphone without the pencil, see the photo of the model:

Previous functions assigned to it will be rearranged among other keys. For example, # key will change the text input mode and copy/paste functions will be available from Options.

The info on the upcoming HTC Trinity platform appears every now and then. I’d remind you HTC Trinity is the development of HTC Magician. Now we’ve got a clear image of the device, which seems true (this is rather a computer image than a photo, but still it is more realistic compared to previous pictures), and detailed specs (however not yet officially confirmed).

HTC Trinity is designed for WCDMA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks, equipped with a GPS-module, and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The model comes with a 2.8” touchscreen LCD with a QVGA (240x320 pixel) resolution and 65K colors, a 2-megapixel camera and a VGA-camera for video telephony, 64 MB RAM and 128 MB flash memory, an expansion slot for microSD cards and a Li-Ion 1350 mAh battery.
