Nokia Stealth and Dragonfly concept phones

Nokia’s Stealth and Dragonfly concept phones do look rather interesting, with the former being a mid-range handset, obviously inspired by stealth aircraft in its design that boasts an “ergonomically sculpted keypad, easy to navigate by touch sensations.” As for the Nokia Dragonfly, this more or less resembles an entry-level handset, although certain quarters might deem it to be a whole lot better looking compared to the Stealth. We do wonder whether anyone from Nokia will pick either design up or not.

ZTE looks like it’s going to place quite a bit of emphasis on Google’s Android platform, as the company is planning to release four phones that will be powered by Google’s mobile operating system. Hopefully these phones will be available outside of China, and we’re talking about the:

Energy 888D cylindrical cellphone

This is clearly one of the more unorthodox phone designs – after all, how many handsets have you seen to date which features a cylindrical form factor? The Energy 888D could very well be the first of its kind, complete with a fully curved 2″ display. Apart from that, we don’t have any details about the rest of its specifications, but the clip at the back sure comes in handy since something this curvy could very well slip out of your pocket easily without you knowing any better.

Cell phone cancer warning to pop up in Maine

Who knew that a cellphone could cause so much panic and still remain more indispensable that a computer? It’s plain simple that we cannot live without phones, even though we have all these studies and statistics that point at cellphones being one of the causes for brain cancer amongst many. Andrea Bolan, who represents Maine is panic stricken herself, and makes sure that she uses the speaker of the phone rather than holding the handset precariously close to her head. Based on a bill submitted by her, the likely steps that will be taken may make it compulsory for manufacturers to put labels on phones and packaging, stating that the device they’re selling can cause brain cancer (because of electromagnetic radiation).
We will soon see small children and pregnant women kept away from cellphones because of the same reason. Motorola, who sell a hell lot of their phones across the globe have sought a clean chit on this issue, claiming that their handsets comply to all international safety standards. We will soon hear a lot more on the same from other popular manufacturers.

When you talk about the market for cellphones everybody looks at China as the most delectable, so RIM and Palm must be fairly happy that word on the street is that they’ve managed to set up a deal with China Telecom, which will see their cell phones on said carrier somewhere between the end of 2009 or early in 2010. With an estimated 700 million subscribers in China, just a sliver of that would be a lot of money to anybody.

The folks at Shanzai have done it again with a HTC Snap style cell phones this time round, known as the COOLe8900-2 . This smartphone will be powered by Mediatek’s turnkey platform, accompanied by a 2.2″ display at 240 × 320 resolution. It is slightly thicker than the HTC Snap, although it beats HTC’s offering in terms of length and width. We don’t see any real reason to get this though even if it was available for a rock bottom price

ViewSonic V901 smartphone to hit China

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:02:16 +0000

China will be getting their hands on yet another Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone in the form of the ViewSonic V901. This handset will be powered by a Marvell PXA310 processor, accompanied by 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, a 3.6″ 480 × 800 touchscreen display and a 5-megapixel camera. We’re surprised to hear that the V901 supports CDMA EVDO Rev.A 3G network, which is good news, really, as it can be used elsewhere outside of China. Other features comprise of Bluetooth connectivity, GPS support and a microSD memory card slot. Expect to see it hit the decks sometime in Q4 this year.
