Samsung have introduced the F700 which is dubbed by some as the iPhone killer. If you think back a few weeks to just after the iPhone was released, Steve Ballmer from MS said that the iPhone wouldn’t appeal to some due to it having a huge price tag (subsidised) and no keyboard, meaning that business users would not want to use this because they would struggle with email and note taking. The F700 is named the Ultra Smart F700 and has a smaller screen then the iPhone at 2.78 inch supporting up to 262k colours, it also does not support multi touch like the iPhone. However, what it does have is a keyboard which slides out from the left of the phone and allows you to work in landscape mode with a full QWERTY keyboard. This feature is ideal for those who cannot part with their mobile email solutions.

The W880 from Sony Ericsson is the latest in their walkman range of mobile phones. It has lost some weight it seems and measures just 9.4mm thick. GSM Arena have given the phone a full review and it looks promising. Built in are 2 cameras with one being a 2 Megapixel camera and the other used for video calls, Memory Stick support, bluetooth, 3G support, Multi tasking and a lot of music capabilities. On the downside, there is no EDGE and video quality isnt the greatest. However, it is one sleek looking phone.

For a great eye catching phone with plenty of features it is well worth looking in to. Check out the full review at GSM arena.

As well as looking quite cool, this watch is unique in the way of using GPS to track your location and then instead of displaying the actual time, it has a count down to when you should leave to get to your next appointment on time. It is an interesting idea which could work well if the company launch it. The JIT watch still needs some refinement but could still be a great seller as it is now.

The Samsung SCH-B680 is a clamshell phone with a 1.3 megapixel camera, DMB tuner, MP3 and various other features. Opening up the device you will see a sleek looking keypad that is apears to be smooth and contain the usual numerical and function keys needed. On the outside you will see a second screen which shows a clock and also we can assume it will report back MP3 tracks playing and also caller ID information. Also on the outside of the case is the 1.3 megapixel camera. From searching around it seems like this phone is only available in Korea at the moment. As soon as pricing for out of Korea is available we will let you know.

We reported yesterday on the Nokia N800 with the video that someone had made. We now find today that someone else decided to take theirs apart for us all to view what actually goes on in that little device. The video below shows the N800 being taken appart and then put back together. Apparantly after all that destruction there is actually nothing that interesting inside. Everything seems covered over so that chip part numbers and other details cannot be read.

With the iPhone just around the corner we are starting to see a few “almost clones” of this fantastic looking device. The Meizu M8 is no exception to this. It has a 3.3 inch touchscreen display, an ARM11 CPU and a 3 megapixel camera. Bluetooth is also provided for connectivity to other devices. Network wise this phone has some good stuff packed in there. The phone has a GSM and TD-SCDMA 3G radio built in.

The new LG LC3200 phone is compatible on different CDMA frequencies which means it can go with you where ever you go. Other features on the phone are a 1.3 megapixel camera, MP3 player and a dictionary. Other standard features are also in the device. One thing different is the unique slider feature. Only the top half of the phone slides up which allows some of the main keys to be available regardless of the phone being open or closed.

Over the last few years we have experienced the highspeeds of 3G mobile phone networks. This technology has allowed our mobile devices to communicate at broadband speeds which allows streaming video and audio as well as video calls. China has now stepped up and created the worlds first 4G network which steps up data transfer speeds even higher. The project is being run by FuTURE Project and expect speeds of up to 100 megabites per second which is a lot faster then the 3G speeds. This network seems like it will not be public yet and just used for trials for a few more years yet.

Sony Ericssons W950i comes with a built in 4Gb hard drive, a 240 x 320 touch screen which also supports handwriting recognition. Connectivity is provided by USB 2.0 and bluetooth to other devices such as a PC or other phone. Network wise this phone supports GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 or in other words, it’s a Tri-Band phone. The phone is also UMTS capable allowing for faster transfer speeds of up to 384kbps via a 3G network. The 4Gb internal disk means that no memory slot is available. However, 4Gb on this device means that you probably would not need to add more memory via a memory card. The operating system is Symbian v9.1, UIQ 3.0.

If Apple would have launched their Apple Mobile Phone back in 1985 when they originally filed a patent then it would have looked like the phone above. I bet it would havo sold well but would not be laughed at 🙂
