Without a big press release, or anything else for that matter, MOTO Q11 has appeared on Motorola's website, thus making its entrance in the mobile phone world. Rumors about this device have been making the rounds for a while but, until now, not much information on it was available, the only thing that seemed certain being that Q11 would be the successor of Motorola Q9. Finally, we now have all the details we ever wanted to know about this handheld.MOTO Q11 is a slim phone (117 x 64 x 11.7 mm) with integrated WiFi, designed for people that also require a fast connection to the Internet. This is done by Q11's WiFi, which uses Boingo...

Before we go on with analyzing the official features of the smartphone, we have to mention that, as you probably already knew, the Storm will only be available via Verizon (in the US) and Vodafone (across Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand). Obviously, Verizon's BlackBerry Storm is a CDMA phone, while Vodafone's is a GSM one, both being capable of high-data transfer speeds, via their EV-DO and respectively HSDPA connectivity. Being the first touchscreen handset... [read more >>] Motorola Q9 is one of the world's best known Windows Mobile smartphones, a good enough reason for Motorola to come up with a successor for it, which, apparently, is Motorola Q11. Although there's nothing official about the Q11 yet, the new smartphone has appeared in a long video demonstration, via the Brazilian site Zumo. Since the Q9 is a device launched in 2007 and we're now almost at the end of 2008, the manufacturer has packed more advanced features in the new Q11. First of all, the new smartphone comes with Wi-Fi, a feature that many Q9 owners would probably want. Secondly, the camera of Q11 is a 3 Megapixel one wi...

The phones can be found on the Korean section of the Samsung official website, as it seems they are designed exclusively for the Korean market.Let's take a look at the info we’ve got on these three new models. Users will get a large 3.2-inch LCD touchscreen that has been improved to respond more swiftly. Also, drag and drop, picture dragging and handwriting recognition, along with the features mentioned above, have been optimized for a more convenient usage.The phone ...

Although everybody expected it to be named Bresson, it seems that the South Korean group has had a change of heart, and went for the official dubbing of Pixon. While Bresson would have been used as a homage to the French photographer, Pixon comes with a more resonant signification, especially since the M8800 has an 8 megapixel camera (and the Pixel-Pixon correlation becomes obvious). As it happens, this is not all the information we have on the device – a Russian team previewed the handheld, and provided some nice images alon... [read more >>] Yesterday, the highly anticipated launch of the Android phone took place in New York. Google's first-born “baby” phone was officially named G1, and is manufactured by HTC. You can now pre-order it from T-Mobile, but pay attention and act quick, as only limited quantities are available. U.S users can get this phone for only $179, with a two-year voice and data contract. Starting with November, G1 will become available in the United Kingdom as well, also only in T-Mobile, and across Europe (Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and the Netherlands) in the first quarter of 2009.This buzz around the Android phone did not build up un... [read more >>] If you ever feared the Google phone (also known as HTC Dream, HTC G1 and so on) doesn't exist, fear no more: the Android-powered weird-shaped device has recently appeared in a mini-set of live images, caressed by sun and a pair of mysterious hands.So, following Rene Descartes' “I think, therefore I am” reasoning, the G-phone can easily say “I appear in photos, therefore I am”. Makes sense, right? Its existence, I mean. And it makes even more sense knowing that, just a few days ago, the Android handset was (sort of) confirmed to be hitting T-Mobile USA, presumably on September 23. Also p... [read more >>] Verizon Wireless and RIM will come up with a new handset that's bound to create a hype greater than the one Apple's iPhone did. We're talking about the first BlackBerry touchscreen smartphone, which we've seen before, in a not that favorable video review.We know now for sure that the smartphone will be officially called BlackBerry Storm, and that's because it's expected to take the wireless industry by storm and "crush the competition" (these are Verizon's own words).Since it's a full-touch device, Storm's functionality revolves around its touchscreen display. The size and resolution of this disp... [read more >>] Restlessly trying to lure mobile users from around the world, HTC has gone official with its Touch HD Pocket PC, a multimedia monster that brings more features than the Touch Diamond and even more than most of the handsets currently on the market.The strong points of the new Touch-series handset are: a 3.8 inch TFT touchscreen display with a Wide-VGA (WVGA) resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, a 5 Megapixel auto focus camera (no flash unfortunately), a 3.5mm audio jack, quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, dual-band HSDPA connectivity (900 / 2100 MHz) for data transfer speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps, HTC TouchFL... [read more >>] HTC, the Taiwanese manufacturer of Windows Mobile smartphones and Pocket PCs, announced that it has signed an agreement with KDDI in order to bring HTC handsets to customers from across Japan. The first device to be released by KDDI, via its au brand, will be E30HT. Under this not so attractive name hides none other than HTC Touch Pro, the full QWERTY version of HTC Touch Diamond (reviewed by Softpedia here). Unfortunately for Japanese users, the E30HT / Touch Pro is scheduled to be released only next year, sometime in spring. Anyway, the handset will be showcased between September 28 and October 4, during the CEATEC fair, when ga... [read more >>] |
