BlackBerry with Wi-Fi certified by FCC [ 09-07-2007 18:47 ]

Author: Irina Turina Translation by: Rytchkova Anja

The first BlackBerry communicator with Wi-Fi is said to be approved by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The device is much rumored about, besides some spy pics are already in the net. It is supposed to be a successor to BlackBerry 8800, i.e. equipped with a QWERTY-keyboard and a 320x240 landscape oriented display.

According to the FCC documents, the new communicator works in GSM/EDGE 850/1900 MHz networks (supposed to be tested), has Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth interface and a microSD-slot. Not surprisingly, the FCC site hasn’t posted the photos of the device, so we have only a scheme. The release is expected by the end of this year.

Live pics of Nokia N95 8Gb [ 09-07-2007 17:43 ]

Author: Irina Turina Source: Slashphone Translation by: Rytchkova Anja

We’ve recently mentioned Nokia’s plans to launch an 8GB N95 smartphone (the profile of the model available on the manufacturer’s site). The new device is rumored to be packed in a black shell and positioned as a music solution on the fist place.

Now the source offers first live pics of the device – no details so far. It didn’t confirm the info on the lack of GPS-functionality. I’d remind you that the original Nokia N95 slider was released this spring. It has a strong set of features – a 5-megapixel camera, GPS, wireless modules and 160 MB of internal memory.

Motorola Z9 arriving? [ 09-07-2007 10:27 ]

Author: Serge Novikov Source: The Boy Genius Report Translation by: Rytchkova Anja

The Boy Genius Report has posted some info and photos of a would-be Motorola handset – the L9 slider. According to the source, the pictures depict a proto, not a commercial product designed for AT&T operator (operator’s logo on the shell and in menu).

The info on the technical specs is poor – Motorola Z9 is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera with backlight, 3G support, Motorola Synergy OS and a microSD slot.
