New built-to last concept from Nokia, plus more    [ 30-04-2008 17:40 ]

Author: Serge Novikov   Source: Pocket-lint     Translation by: Administrator     

Today, Nokia showed off a trio of concepts, set to change the way consumers think about mobile phones.

First up – the cleverly named Wears In, Not Out concept – which basically aims for a phone to last five to ten years, as opposed to eighteen months, akin to a television, or a laptop.

Next – the Peoples First concept, this scraps the usual way we navigate through phone menus, instead it will work with what's known as Human Universals, allowing anyone, regardless of their native language, to use the phone. This is achieved by the menu consisting of one big list, which shows the phones history, so the user can navigate up, and down to call people, or activate features. Keeping the trend with Nokia's Eco Green philosiphy, the phone will be able to switch from colour, to mono screen, to save battery life.

Lastly, Nokia showed off a new charger – called Zero Waste, which aims to save electricity in the home. The charger will sport an on/off button,and it may offer a one hour charging time, and, the user's phone may tell the charger that it's full, and turn itself off.

New clamshell form-factor handset from Blackberry, to be launched by end of year    [ 30-04-2008 16:18 ]

Blackberry, famous for their candybar form-factor handsets, are trying something radically different – a clamshell phone. The device, known now as Kickstrt, has the same type of keyboard as regular Blackberry's, - it looks much like the one on Blackberry's pearl handset.

What's more, it's said to feature an external screen, and, the internal screen looks quite spacious. The device also sports Blackberry's trackball navigation pad. The only other concrete fact, is that, we will see the device sometime later in the year. More as we get it.

7,400 new mobile phone connections in Cuba since end of March    [ 30-04-2008 16:08 ]

Author: Irina Turina   Source: intomobile     Translation by: Administrator     

In the end of March, we reported that the ban on mobile phones in Cuba has been lifted. Now, in the span of ten days that all Cubans have been allowed to sign up, there has been 7,400 new mobile phone connections, say Cuba's only mobile phone network. However, as we revealed back in March, it's not cheap – activating a handset will set you back $120, which equates to about half of a person's salary, on the average wage.
