Latest mobile models - Mobile Bloggo News 2010!

LG seems to be hooked on one thing that has been hooking many cellphone companies lately: Android. The OS is definitely overwhelming the mobile telephony market thanks to its versatility and the freedom that it gives to the manufacturers to create applications and change the interface.

In LG’s case, they’ve launched their first Android device a few months ago, the LG GW620 and now there are rumors of a second device with Android and a hardware “surprise”. This new device, still without a name, will be first available for the Korean market, and then later on distributed in the rest of the world.

The big surprise on this device, that is rumored to be launched around the second quarter of 2010, is a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 1GHz. The device might also allow users to watch TV from their phone.

Sony Ericsson has officially confirmed that the Xperia X1 device won’t have an OS upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5. The immediate reaction from customers didn’t take long to arrive: why not upgrade the OS on a device that is still well used and with a rather modern hardware?

The Xperia X1 has never really reached the expectations, but an update would at least make it a little better. Many users are still hoping on a possible change of mind.

The smaller version of the Galaxy, the so-called i5700 was finally officially revealed by Samsung and is now called Galaxy Spica. It’s a new device featuring Android, only 13.2mm wide and with a 3.5mm jack (common in most smartphones), 800 MHz core and with DivX support.

It seems it will be a Google Experience phone if the number of times the name Google is mentioned in Samsung’s press-release. The phone will be released first in Europe, then in Asia.

Sony Ericsson has finally confirmed the technical specifications for the XPeria Pureness cellphone. It’ll weight 70 grams and hav a compact size. The 1.8″ monochromatic TFT display is transparent and anti-scratch. The internal memory features 88 MB but can be expanded up to 2GB.

It’s possible to use the internal NetFront Web Browser for internet navigation, and it also features FM Radio and Media player that is compatible with MP3/AAC files. Thanks to the TrackID feature, it’s possible to record a piece of a song and figure out the title and artist, somewhat like Shazam.

Xperia Pureness also supports the A2DP Bluetooth, USB connectivity and 3G networks with HSPA support. The battery lasts 3.5 hours when used in UMTS/HSPA, 8.5 hours when used in GSM/GPRS/EDGE and 350 hours in standby.

The cellphones capable of managing two or more sim cards at the same time aren’t as common as the normal ones, but Samsung has decided to launch a new dual SIM smartphone: the B5722. The device has a 2.8″ touchscreen display with the resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The photocamera has the resolution of 3.2 Megapixels with LED flash.

It features EDGE connectivity, multimedia player, FM radio, expandable memory (with microSD) and bluetooth. Price and availability haven’t yet been announced.

When it comes to a smartphone, what is better: a virtual or a physical keyboard? Samsung seems to have chosen the latter on their new B3410. The device features a slide mechanism and a 2.6″ touchscreen display with the resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The photocamera has the resolution of 2 Megapixels.

The phone also has EDGE connectivity, a 30 MB internal memory, expandable with microSD cards, FM radio, the TouchWiz 2.0 graphic interface and bluetooth. It will be available soon in Europe, the price hasn’t yet been announced.

While the Sony Ericsson X10 presentation is on the spotlight now, rumors about another Sony Ericsson device, featuring the Symbian S60 OS keep on coming. The device won’t be launched until 2010 and it should have a slightly curvy design, as the images above can show.

The rumors say that these pictures could possibly be from the Sony Ericsson Kurara (temporary name, it seems) and that the device will be part of the Entertainment Unlimited family. The phone should have a 3.5″ AMOLED display and a 8.1 megapixel photocamera. We’ll have to wait and see if the rumors are confirmed true.

If you were curious to know more about the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness, Mobileburn.com has released a video to cater to your needs. It’s an unboxing video that also shows a little demo of the cellphone. At a first glance, we weren’t incredibly impressed with the device. Some of the unique features on the cellphones are the transparent glass screen, a classical user interface and the non-removable battery.

The display has visibility problems in case of illuminated ambients but the backlights work great in dark ambients. The price should be around £530 ($830 dollars, more or less).

Sony Ericsson has finally released images, video and official data about the new Xperia X10, the name that the company chose for their new smartphone, the first Sony Ericsson to feature Android and the UX platform, based on Open OS, that allows the integration of social networks, communication and entertainment thanks to applications such as TimeScape and MediaScape, capable of recognizing the face of our contacts, for example, and synchronize it with the main social networks.

Also impressive the technical specifications, and we’ll post some images of the device as well. The Sony Xperia X10 is scheduled to be launched on the first trimester of next year.
