8.1MP Sony Ericsson unveiled – more camera than a phone [ 11-06-2008 17:05 ]

Author: Irina Turina Source: Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog Translation by: Administrator

Sony Ericsson is known for being leaders in the cameraphone department, although they've had a few rough patches – like the K850 for instance. It seems they are looking to bounce back from that, with the unannounced C905 “Shiho”. 8.1 MP is the highest number of megapixels on a phone to be available in Europe. The camera sports features we've seen in previous cameraphones from Sony Ericsson, such as auto focus, face recognition, image stabilization, BestPic, and red-eye reduction.

Obviously, for what looks to be a class-leading cameraphone, there is an Xenon flash present, and an LED photolight, as seen in the K850, which may come in handy for shooting videos. Speaking of videos, this will be the first Sony Ericsson handset in Europe to shoot videos in VGA (640 x 480 pixels resolution.. Also present is a video stabilizer feature, first seen in the K800. A new feature for this camera phone is a new feature called Smart Contrast, which will probably adjust the contrast, according to the lighting, when taking a photo.

Obviously, there is more to the C905 than just the camera, the technical specifications are as follows:

Connectivity: tri-band GSM, and tri-band HSDPA support
Screen: 2.4” QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) scratch-resistant, with mineral glass
Camera: 8.1 megapixels, with auto focus, face recognition, image stabilization, BestPic, red-eye reduction, Xenon flash, with photoflash LED,and smart contrast
Video recording: VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels), with video stabilizer
Memory: M2 card slot, with 2GB card in the box
Applications: NetFront browser
Extras: GPS, with A-GPS support, TV output functionality, Wi-Fi, with DLNA support, Bluetooth, and USB 2.0 connectivity
Dimensions: 104 x 49 x 18 mm
Weight: 136 grams

Look for the C905 to be announced on the 17th of this month, and to be available sometime in the fourth quarter.

Author: Serge Novikov Source: intomobile Translation by: Administrator

Nokia's Supernova collection gets a new addition – the 7610, which bears no resembelance to the S60-powered smartphone, released in 2004. It's simply a case of Nokia re-using old model names, as we've seen before. For one thing, it runs on Nokia's S40, is a slider, and has completely different women – it looks to be geared towards to female market.

The tenative specs are as follows:

Operating System: Nokia Series 40
Camera: 3.2 megapixels, with LED flash VGA video recording
Memory: 64MB internal, Micro SD card slot Clip-on XpressOn covers

Apple to exceed expected 3G iPhone shipments by 8 million [ 11-06-2008 16:40 ]

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

Apple are expected to exceed shipments of the 3G iPhone by the end of the year – totalling 18 million, up from their expected 10 million. This shouldn't come as a surprise, given the price difference between the original iPhone, and the 3G version. Add to that, it will sure sell by the bucketload in the UK, given that O2 will offer it without contract, on Pay As You Go, making it available to those who choose not to go for a contract. Not to mention it will be available in far more countries and network operators than the original iPhone. Given all of these factors, it wouldn't be surprising if Apple to exceed their estimated shipments. Just look at the iconic Motorola Razr, when the price dropped to $200, up from the original $600 (with contract, $800 without), virtually everyone owned one, and it's still selling today.

Three Nokia handsets leaked – two N-Series, and the 5800 Tube [ 11-06-2008 11:28 ]

Author: Irina Turina Source: Unwiredview Translation by: Administrator

Nokia's 5800 Tube was seen some months ago, now, it makes another appearance, along with the N85, and the N79. The N79 looks to come in two colors – titanium or white, and bears a resemblance to Nokia's N82, except it doesn't sport the fingernail-style keys of the N82. The screen looks to be about standard for an N-Series device – 2.4”.

Next, the N85, which has the dual-slide form-factor of the N95/6. It comes with a five megapixel camera, much like the N95/6, but with the addition of an Xenon flash. It also dumps the Nokia N96'S stand, in favor of a lens cover. It should be available in your choice of black or white.

The 5800 Tube, a mostly all-touchscreen device, with a few buttons on the face of the device. It looks not to have a finger-driven UI, but rather stylus input, given the picture below. It will be the first Nokia to use their S60 Touch UI. The camera is a 3.2MP affair, with a dual LED flash. No word yet on when any of these three devices will be announced.
