Latest mobile models - Mobile Bloggo News 2010!

Most of the recent models launched by Samsung feature a touchscreen display. This trend was confirmed once more with the new Caliber R860. Featuring a 3.2″ touchscreen display with the resolution of 420 x 240 pixels, it also has a 3 Megapixel photocamera with flash.

It also supports the 3G networks, the internal memory can be expanded with microSD cards, and also present are the TouchWiz interface, the GPS, the social network integration, bluetooth and a battery that has the duration of 4.5 hours in conversation and 300 hours in standby.

The price in the USA is set at $250.

During last week’s announcement during the MWC 2010, when Steve Ballmer officially presented the Windows Phone 7 Series platform, he also said that the first Windows Phone 7 series phone will be available by Christmas this year.

Apparently, the first device featuring Microsoft’s new mobile platform could indeed be launched in September this year, according to an information obtained by Engadget China, from someone inside the LG Mobile in Hong Kong. This rumor would actually match the one that claimed that LG would be launching a Windows Phone 7 Series mobile called Apollo.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Michael Kordahi and Andrew Coats, developers from Microsoft Australia, ahve explained in a podcast the decision of creating three different models for phones with Windows Phone 7 Series.

The first “chassis” would be a “big touchscreen” phone. It’s a touch-only device, with a 1Ghz processor and a graphic-dedicated processor. The second model will have a physical slide keyboard and touchscreen, similarly to the Palm Treo. The third could be a candybar, but there were no details revealed about it.

Last year, some specifications were revealed, about what now seems to be the Windows Mobile 7 Chassis 1, but that back then were thought to belong to the rumored Microsoft Pink-Zune phone.

From the collaboration between Puma and Sagem comes the Puma Phone presented at the Mobile World Congress. The result seems interesting, in any case. The Puma Phone is a light phone, weighing 115g, and featuring a solar panel on the back of the phone. The more the cellphone is recharged with solar energy, the more points users get on the Puma stores, and they can use the points to get free call minutes, songs, sms and so on.

The more technical specifications: 2.8″ TFT QVGA touchscreen display with the resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The battery isn’t that good, only 880 mAh but the solar panel compensates it. It also features a 3.2 megapixel photocamera with LED flash and 6x digital zoom, and a VGA camera on the front. Also present are the compass and A-GPS. The Puma Phone will be launched during the next two months.

During the Mobile World Congress 2010, Microsoft presented their new Windows Phone 7 Series, and showed a small demo of the new OS in a device manufactured by Asus. But it wasn’t really specified whether that smartphone will be sold in the future or not.

Would the smartphone currently being “perfectioned” by Asus be the Microsoft phone, something similar to what Nexus One did with Google and HTC? According to Ashok Kumar, the analyst who had the first details about the Google Nexus One, Asus and Microsoft have found some difficulties during the manufacturing of the Microsoft smartphone, but it is a possibility.

The Microsoft-Asus device could be launched in 2011, obviously featuring Windows Phone 7 Series. But before this can happen, if it will happen at all, the Windows Phone 7 Series will be featured in devices manufactured by HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson and Toshiba.

The Canadian carrier Roger is going to be the first to present the new LG Eve to the market, a new Android-based smartphone that integrates Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

The Eve features a 5 megapixel photocamera with LED flash, and a 3″ touchscreen display. Also present is the facial recognition technology. The QWERTY keyboard features 5 rows and it’s ideal to write emails, SMS and text. The phone also features Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR and USB 2.0.

The Samsung Wave S8500, the first Samsung device featuring Bada and presented on the Mobile World Congress 2010, will be the first device to have the latest version of Picsel File viewer, the famous mobile application that offers supports to Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Adobe PDF.

Some of the features on the latest version of Picsel File Viewer include the zoom and fast scrolling, multiple visualization, continuous scrolling and high-quality visualization.

Here are some specifications for the Samsung Wave S8500: 3.3″ Super AMOLED WVGA display, HSPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, Bluetooth 30.0, Samsung Apps, 5 Megapixel photocamera with autofocus and HD video recording and 1GHz processor.

During the Mobile World Congress 2010, Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’S CEO, has presented the new generation of Windows Phone: the Windows Phone 7 series.

Microsoft aims to offer a revolutionary proposal. Thanks to a design that seems rather captivating and interesting use experience, the new devices want to put the web and other applications in the users’ reach. The new Windows Phone 7 Series will bring together the XBox Live games and the zune music videos and songs. The partners seem to have started to manufacture new devices that will feature the new OS, and they should be available from Christmas this year.

Here’s a video that shows some of the features on the new Windows Phone 7. Enjoy

Another Sony model revealed during the Mobile World Congress 2010: the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro. It’s the version of Vivaz that features a physical QWERTY keyboard. The device measures 109 x 52 x 15mm and weighs 117g, features a 3.2″ touchscreen display with 16:9 format and the resolution of 360 x 600 pixels. The Photocamera has the resolution of 5.1 Megapixels with autofocus and is capable of recording 720p HD videos.

It also features HSPA connectivity, an internal 75MB memory expandable with microSD cards, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, FM radio and bluetooth. It should be available during the second trimester of this year.

The Mobile World Congress shows us many new models from the big companies, but it also gives us small and interesting information, such as the launch of the Aava Mobile, that claims to be completely open source, contrarily to the competition. It features Android 2.1 and it’ll feature the MeeGo OS in the future, but it can also be customized in a hardware and design level.

The developers will be able to propose their own ideas for the manufacturing of a series of models. Aava seems sure that the community power will be a good point for sales as customers will have the phone they want. We’ll have to wait for the project to be developed to know more!
