Samsung Mobile Tracker phones

Samsung Telecommunications India, has just unveiled a new range of cell phones which has been dubbed “Mobile Tracker Phones”. The three new entry-level mobile phones from Samsung are the SGH- E250, SGH-X520 and SGH-C140.
The highlights of the new mobile phones launched by Samsung include new security features like Mobile Tracking (MT), emergency SMS, and privacy lock. This surely empowers consumers with security during mobility.
Speaking about the new security features of the newly launched Samsung mobile phones, Ryu Hyun Chul, MD, Samsung Telecommunications India, said, “Samsung understands Indian consumer needs and through our secured phones, we have tried to address three of the lager issues of mobile security i.e. securing mobile phones and preventing any untoward usage or incidents through MT, securing the safety of near and dear ones through emergency SMS, and securing the confidential data’s that are stored in that phone.”
The SGH-X520 mobile phone from Samsung is a very chic and slim phone, which comes in exotic colors such as Indigo Blue and Wine Red. The Samsung SGH-X520 mobile phone has features such as FM Radio, VGA Camera, and 65K color CSTN LCD screen that measures 4.8cm with a resolution of 128×160 pixels. Moreover, this mobile phone comes with an internal memory of 2.8MB.
The second phone launched by Samsung is the SGH-E250, which according to the company is the most fashionable slide-up style mobile phone available at a very low price. The SGH-E250 is embedded with a VGA camera and the latest multimedia features. Besides, it also sports a 5cm TFT screen, stereo FM radio, video recording, Bluetooth wireless support, 12MB internal memory and a MicroSD slot that is expandable up to 2GB.
Lastly, the SGH-C140 mobile phone from Samsung is an entry-level bar phone which has a compact and stylish design. It sports a 65K color LCD, a speaker phone meant for Handsfree communication, and 16 polyphonic ring tones. The Samsung SGH-C140 mobile phone has a screen that measures 3.8cm with a resolution of 128×128 pixels, and an internal memory of 700KB.
However, the most important features, which are common to all the three newly launched mobile phones from Samsung, are mobile tracking, emergency SMS and privacy lock. The Mobile tracking feature detects unauthorized usage of the mobile phone. When a different SIM card is inserted into any of the three newly launched mobile phones, the Mobile Tracker-enabled phone automatically sends an SMS to up to two numbers pre-defined by the original user revealing the IMEI number of the phone along with the new SIM number. This helps to retrieve the mobile phone back incase it lands up in wrong hands.

Nokia officially announced three new N-Series mobiles - Nokia N93, Nokia N73, and Nokia N72. N93 will feature a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics with an astonishing 3x optical zoom. N73 will also boast a 3.2 megapixel Carl Zeiss optics camera. Both phones will have 2.4″ high definition displays. N72 will have a 2 megapixel camera and a 2.1″ display.
The first of the new mobiles and the technologically most advanced is the Nokia N93. We published some pre-release photos of N93 five months ago. N93 is successor of the popular N90 and it has a lot of improvements over its predecessor. It is based on Symbian S60 3rd Edition software and one of the most attractive features is the Carl Zeiss optics digital camera offering 3X OPTICAL zoom. The phone has 50MB internal memory, as well as a hot-swap MiniSD card slot. Among the highly advertised features of the phone will most surely be its camcorder capabilities which allow it to capture DVD-like quality videos into the MPEG4 format with 30 frames per second. Those features are backed up by digital video stabilization, 20x digital zoom, autofocus and macro mode. It will have a 262K QVGA display (N90 has higher resolution display) with wide viewing angles and will support 802.11b/g WLAN, 3G (WCDMA 2100 MHz), EDGE and GSM (900/1800/1900 MHz) networks. Unfortunately, the N93 will most probably suffer the same criticism as N90 did for its large size and weight. What remains to be seen is whether the phone will also miss the vibration feature as N90 did, which would be a great disappointment to all Nokia fans.

World's Slimmest Mobile Phone Unveiled

ASIA Korea : Samsung unveiled the first in the upcoming series of Samsung’s ultra slim line-ups. The Samsung X820 ( see above ), which will be displayed for the first time at the Sviaz ExpoComm 2006, boasts the world’s thinnest profile of only 6.9 mm. Also on display will be Samsung’s D900, the world’s slimmest slider with the depth of only 13mm.
“Samsung will continue its stride in uniting people together. Ergonomically designed to become one with the user, Samsung's slim phones deliver the perfect harmony of comfort, simplicity, and sophistication,” said Kitae Lee, president of Samsung’s Telecommunication Network Business. “It is human nature for people to communicate with others. Samsung's ultra slim phones are dedicated in bringing people together. With its exceptional design and thinness, the X820 will become one with the user, one with others, and one with the world.”
Samsung’s growing portfolio of ultra-slim phones is part of the company’s aggressive global strategy in the slim phone category, demonstrating Samsung’s promptness to recognize and acts on consumer demands. Samsung truly delivers smaller and thinner mobile phones without compromising reliability or premium multimedia capabilities.
Samsung’s first experience with slim mobiles with advanced features started in 2001 with the introduction of SPH-N2001, the company’s first 9.8mm mobile phone. Samsung will continue to reveal slim mobiles in various form factors and features to the world.
Samsung X820 - World’s Slimmest PhoneSamsung’s groundbreaking X820 expresses Samsung’s devotion to creating the slimmest product for the market today. Weighing only 66 grams with slender 6.9mm thinness, the lightweight X820 is today’s modern method to stay connected. The X820 balances slim elegance with a functional keypad and finishes with a beautifully beveled cut for a natural grip. The fiberglass-infused plastic is used to increase extraordinary durability while keeping it lightweight. The X820 is the true complement to today’s active consumers as it becomes one with the users in their wallets, shirt pockets, or a pair of jeans for mobility in style.
Underneath its protective outer shell, the X820’s a wealth of features are compressed into the 6.9mm thinness using the Smart Surface Mounting Technology (SSMT). Capture those bright smiles and specials moments using the 2 megapixel camera or pull of a great presentation with the document viewer and TV-output function. Maximize the visual experience with the horizontal widescreen and navigate all of these features and more with a simple and user-friendly interface.
With a variety of color ways in the making, the X820 will first hit the Russian market next month, followed by other European markets.
Samsung D900 - World’s Slimmest SliderSamsung’s SGH-D900 offers the latest in multimedia technology with premium slide-up design for business professionals. The 13mm slide-up is the thinnest slider ever designed. It also comes with a powerful 3.13 megapixel camera, starting the 3 megapixel camera phone trend for the European mobile market this year. The SGH-D900 also includes business features such as document viewer, TV-output function, and also supports Bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP) function to enhance users’multimedia experience.
The D900 also boasts large, vivid 262K color screens, ideal for watching streaming videos or viewing the phone’s photo book. Also, an external microSDTM slot allows for additional storage.
Other products announced earlier this year that are for display at Sviaz Expo Comm include the credit-card sized SGH-P300 phone, which measures 8.9 mm and comes packed with a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player and advanced video recording capabilities. Samsung’s SGH-Z150 is the world’s thinnest 3G phone, and the SGH-D800 and SCH-Z540 are both slim, elegantly design multimedia phones.

Sony Ericsson P990 / P990i / P990c

The Sony Ericsson P990 is the latest P-series Symbian smartphone from Sony Ericsson, following on from the successful P800, P900 and P910 models. Expected to start shipping in Q1 2006 to Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa as the P990i, and to mainland China as the P990c. There is no word of a North American variant.
Although superficially similar to the P900/P910, the P990 is a vastly more capable handset, with many major improvements. To start off with, this is a 3G UMTS device in addition to tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900) and GPRS. It also has 802.11b Wireless Ethernet (WiFi) support, making it one of only a few WiFi capable phones. The screen resolution is now 240x320 pixel touchscreen in 262,000 colours, and on the back on the Sony Ericsson P990 is a 2 megapixel digital camera. Internal memory is 80Mb, and this is expandable through Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo cards (64Mb is included, 2Gb maximum). As you'd expect, the SE P990 comes with Bluetooth, but there's also an FM radio as an added bonus.
One immediately noticeable change is the keyboard. On the P990, the small alphabetic keyboard is fixed to the phone and is revealed by flipping down the number pad. Immediately about the QWERTY keyboard is a 2.6" 240x320 pixel display. When the number pad is in use, it appears to cover around 80 pixels or so from the bottom of the display, which gives the P990 both "open" and "closed" display modes, as with the P900 and P910. Certain applications such as the web browser and camera functions can use the P990's screen in landscape (wide) view.
The software package on the Sony Ericsson P990 has improved too, with the Symbian v9.1 operating system plus the UIQ 3.0 user interface. On top of this, the SE P990 comes with the Opera 8 web browser, email client, plus a suite of PIM applications. The P990 can edit Microsoft Word and Excel documents, and additionally comes with a viewer for PowerPoint and PDF files.
The stereo capabilities on the P990 are not known - we assume that it has stereo MP3 playback, but the details are sketchy. Nor do we know if you can plug a standard stereo headset directly into the P990, or if the device supports stereo Bluetooth.
Sony Ericsson say that the P990 can support all major push email protocols, including Blackberry. How much of that is "in the box" and how much is an additional cost software option is not known, but certainly the P990 looks like a very good high end device for corporate use. There is a VPN client included too, and of course the P990 synchronises with applications such as Microsoft Outlook. The ability to edit Word and Excel documents is a big plus for business users.
It's quite a large device, at 114x57x25mm and 155 grams, but that's about the same weight as the i-Mate JAM/HTC Magician though a little larger (although the P990 has a better overall specification than the JAM/Magician). 3G talktime is up to 3 hours, with 9 hours maximum talktime on GSM. Standby time is up to 12 days (3G) or 16 days (GSM).
As we said, there's no word of a North American variant of the P990 (which would probably be called the P990a if released), although the stated Q1 2006 launch date means that potential buyers shouldn't have too long to wait.
The Sony Ericsson P990 is a formidable device in terms of hardware and software specifications, and certainly an improvement over the P910. However, we feel that this is a handset that should have shipped in Q1 2005, not Q1 2006, and this long lead time has meant that HTC has carved out significant market share in this sector. On the plus side, there is no other Symbian smartphone that comes close to this, although we do prefer the wide screen of the Nokia 9300 and 9500 devices to the "tall" screen on the P990 and similar handsets. And although the Nokia 9300 and 9500 are capable devices, they're nowhere near the specification of the Sony Ericsson P990. Perhaps Nokia have something up their sleeves - a Nokia 9700 or 9800 maybe?

Motorola RIZR Z6

At CES 2007 Las Vegas Motorola joined the gang and presented the successor of the popular RIZR Z3 - the MOTORIZR Z6. The new slider is part of the new MOTOMUSIC platform and comes along with the updated EDGE version of the Motorola MING A1200 model. It seems that Motorola would keep their marketing strategy of producing slightly updated version to their existing handsets instead of making entirely new mobiles from scratch. The prospects of a new group of music-oriented devices sounds exciting since this is the current trend on the market and Motorola didn't have such mobiles up until now.The Motorola RIZR Z6 will run on a new Linux-Java-based user interface and promises enhanced music experience featuring connectivity with Windows Media Player 11 and supporting Janus DRM. It will have the same design as its predecessor RIZR Z3 with almost the same size but it will weigh 10 g less. The new RIZR Z6 will have an improved display - this time with QVGA resolution, but it will retain the 2 megapixel camera of the predecessor. We hope that there would be some improvement in the camera quality department too since the RIZR Z3 deserved some criticism along that line of functionality. The MOTORIZR Z6 is expected to be available in the first half of 2007.

Nokia N93

The Nokia N93 performs like a multi-functional smartphone, sporting capabilities for high-quality video recording and boastind optical zoom Nokia N93i is absolutely the same as its predecessor as to its specification and its smaller size and definitely sexier look are the noticeable changes. A major difference is easily spotted is the new design. There is a unique flipping style that the Nokia N93i is also capable of.
The N93i includes an integrated 3.2-megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom and LED flash, plus a rotating viewfinder. Flipping the screen to its side automatically changes the orientation of the image to landscape mode and while rotating it upwards automatically puts the phone into camera mode. The main display measures about 2.4 inches, with a 320 x 240 pixel resolution and 16 million colours, which is a major improvement over the older N93’s 262K-colour screen. The N93i also comes with a lot of useful gear, which includes a travel charger and headset, Nokia connectivity and video-out cables, and a 1GB miniSD card on top of the N93i’s built-in 50MB storage space.
Nokia has kept the standard Symbian S60 3rd Edition user interface, which looks amazing and is very simple to use thanks to the high-resolution display. Connecting to a TV is a plug-and-play affair, and you’re able to view the whole user interface of the phone on the TV.
There’s 3x optical zoom and up to 8x digital, and at the highest quality, the 1GB SD card should allow roughly 45 minutes of recording. With this much storage on board, you can easily store over 500 still images with a maximum 2048 x 1536 resolution. Connectivity is taken care of with tri-band GSM support, 3G, Bluetooth 2.0, infrared and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) as standard as well as ports for USB and TV-out. Nokia has provided an integrated FM radio and music player with the support for MP3, AAC, M4A, eAAC+ and AAC+ formats.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is simple, it lists the networks it detects, you enter the wireless encryption key, and the phone is connected. The high-resolution display and Nokia’s in-built web browser make the internet experience reasonably good for a phone. By moving to a slimmer design Nokia has shrunk the size of its battery, which is now a 950mAh BL-5F unit.

Nokia

Very recently, I was using the Nokia N95 8GB. This is a top class handset, it looks good, is easy to use with the excellent S60 UI and is packed full of all the latest handset features and options. The N95 8GB and N95 Classic deserve their place at the top of the tree. But in the back of my mind, I had a nagging doubt, and it is nothing to do with functionality or usability, it is a simple design issue. I do not like slide phones. My favoured design choice is standard candybar; that is a main reason why the N73 always rated as my all-time favourite handset, and why my all-time favourite now is the N82. It matches the N95 pair feature for feature, but the design is just right. Having recently spent a good three months using the N82, it is easily my favourite handset, I have finally made up my mind, no more chasing the ultimate phone, the N82 does it for me. If I were to look at something to improve the phone, it would be maybe making the phone a bit thinner, and a bit lighter. So, I found myself without phone, after passing the N95 8GB on. I needed something that will fulfil my current usage requirements, fast data transfer, preferably smartphone, even more preferably S60. I wanted something slim, with a good battery. A decent keypad would help, as would expandable memory (although it is hard to buy a phone these days that doesn’t offer that option)I looked around the market, and settled on a straight out choice between the Nokia 6120 and the Nokia E51. And the E51 took it for me, for one (personally) important reason. It is something I have bleated on about for ages now. The Active Standby plugins. Yup, that old chestnut, again. Ever since I used the E65 a year or so ago, and found this feature when browsing through the menu, I have loved it. I adore the fact that I can simply remove the calendar from the main screen! I use the calendar to remind me what I have to do, so I don’t double commit to things. I don’t need reminders two weeks in advance that an upcoming appointment is pending, I also don’t need to be showing to anyone who looks at the screen of my phone what my upcoming appointments are. I’m sure this could be done better, by setting appointments to private or public, and setting the notification required, but as it stands the calendar on S60 phones can’t handle it. So, next best option is to remove it from the screen altogether. With the plugins option on ESeries phones that is so simple, so straight forward, and so effective! I also like the way ESeries phones handle message notification and the different way messages can be shown. This whole side of S60 operability is so much better on ESeries phones than on NSeries, and I still fail to be convinced why this should be. Maybe one day I will be offered an adequate explanation, but I don’t hold much hope.Aside from this, the Nokia E51 also covers the basic requirements I have from my phone. Size? Check. Battery? Check. Data transfer? Check. Here, also, the E51 outscores the 6120 with the option of WiFi as well as HSDPA.The keypad layout on the E51 is also well thought out and well designed. The 12 main keys are very well sized, and offer great feedback, texting and emailing and the four shortcut keys are a great bonus. As well as having the 6 on-screen shortcuts, two soft key shortcuts you also have four shortcut keys around the centre D-Pad. The first has a house on it, the one under it has a calendar icon, the third has a contacts icon and the one underneath that has a messaging envelope icon.The house key takes you to the menu. A long press of the key takes you to any open applications; if you have installed Handy Taskman (pretty much a must have app, in my mind) then the long press will bring that up. A quick press on the calendar key brings up the main calendar, which opens up in month view, a long press takes you to the add new meeting screen. A quick press of the contact key takes you to the address book, a long press takes you to the add new contact page. With the messaging icon, I have set mine to a quick press taking you to the main messaging menu; a long press takes me to the write new email screen. All of the keys can be changed, so if you want something else to be associated with those keys you can set it in the main settings menuOther shortcuts from the keypad include holding down # to enter silent profile, and holding down 0 to launch the web browser which is standard on most Nokia’s. A useful shortcut addition is a long press of the * key activates Bluetooth. Perfect. The pencil key is no longer part of the keypad layout, but the functionality of the pencil key is now dealt with by the # key. This is ok, but it makes use of Screenshot programs very hard, in fact nigh on impossible. I found this on the N82, now the pencil (edit) key is part of the # key; I found the only setting that worked was to use the C key for screenshots. Which is fine until you forget the app is still open, go to use the C key for its natural purpose and you end up taking a screenshot! Screenshot is the only app I can get to work with the new setup, using the C key (on the E51 the C key is the backspace key, with what looks similar to a pencil design icon on it just to confuse things a little more)How do others deal with this issue? I like to take screenshots for use on the blog, and also it can be fun to take screenshots of something you see on the web and email them or MMS them to a friend, and losing the pencil key makes it more hassle than it needs to be.Apart from that little gripe, I’m loving the E51, it is a quality handset, well built and put together, with a solid feature set and easy to use. I expect it will easily cover my mobile needs until I either get a black N82, or maybe I will hold on for the next generation NSeries phones that are going to be released in the coming months.
