Nokia have announced a new addition to their E-Series line of handsets - the E63. Essentially, the E63 could be viewed as a slightly cut-down E71, what with a plastic, not metal construction, lower res camera, no built-in GPS, support for HSDPA data connectivity, no memory card in the box, though, on the flipside, it does come equipped with an LED flash (which can also be used as a flash), and a 3.5 mm jack (a first for an E-Series device. Arguably, the most appealing aspet of the E63 is its price - at just €199, before taxes and subsidies, this makes it incredibly appealing. The E63 will be available in a choice of blue or red, and should be available, within the next few weeks. Technical specifications go as follows:

• Display: 2.36", QVGA resolution, shows up to sixteen million colours
• OS: Symbian S60, version 3.1
• Connectivity: Quad-band GSM, Dual-band UMTS
• Camera: 2 MP, with LED flash
• Memory: 110 MB internal, MicroSDHC expansion slot
• Extras: Wi-Fi, Nokia Maps, Bluetooth and USB 2.0, 3.5 mm jack, FM Radio with RDS
• Weight: 126 grams
• Dimensions: 113 x 59 x 13 mm

Sony announces CMOS sensors, up to 12 MP    [ 13-11-2008 20:13 ]

Author: Irina Turina   Source: engadget mobile     Translation by: Administrator     

The megapixel range has picked up speed once again, with Sony, one half of mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson, have announced new 12.25 MP CMOS sensors, which will be available to implement into mobile phones, from March next year onwards. The new sensors, to be produced by Sony Ericsson, taken from Sony's Exmor range, equipped with autofocus, will retail for around $26, which isn't that much more than today's 8 MP mobile phone sensors, such as Sony Ericsson's C905.

Though the sensors are quite small, image quality shouldn't be compromised, due to  a unique pixel structure, as well as Sony's Column-Parallel A/D Conversion technique. What with Ericsson saying that we will see 20 MP cameraphones by 2012, going by this, they may even appear a bit soonar than that.
