Mobile Phone Haven

Looking at the Samsung SCH-W890 we feel that it would probably appeal to the fashionable individuals. But then again, though this phone looks good on the outside, its insides are not something that you would dare to compare with other monsters like the iPhone or Droid. Though this Samsung, interestingly comes with support for both satellite and terrestrial DMBs for mobile TV viewers.

Other than this, its other standard features remain quite basic and includes a 2.8-inch 16M TFT screen display, 2-megapixel camera with front facing camera for video calls, Bluetooth, text-to-speech, SOS, and Subway Maps.

The Nokia 5230 Nuron may not have Wi-Fi capabilities or it may only come with a fixed-focus 2-megapixel camera, but the what makes this Nokia quite interesting is that this is the “first US carrier-supported Nokia mobile to come packed with free turn-by-turn navigation.” This phone will feature a built-in GPS receiver with the latest Ovi Maps which will offer free voice-guided navigation. The Maps pre-loaded in the device include that of US, Canada and Mexico, and the best part is that 180 other countries maps are available for download with no charge.

Other standard features of this Nokia 5230 Nuron include a 3.2-inch 640 x 360 touchscreen display, music player, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth 2.0, 3G, 70MB of internal memory, and a microSD card slot that supports up to 16GB.

Recently, LG has announced the new LG Cookie Plus GS500, which is actually a successor of the original Cookie(2008). Unlike the original Cookie Plus though, this new LG Cookie Fresh will be a mid-end phone, targeting teenagers who look for a cheaper social-networking device.

The phone obviously will have social networking integration but then it will not support 3G, instead it comes with a GSM/EDGE. Other features include a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, 2-megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, FM radio, music player, and a microSD card slot.

The new LG Pop GD510 is believed to be the most inexpensive full touchscreen cell phone that came to the North America. The phone will have 3-inch WQVGA display, a 3-megapixel camera, social networking integration, 8GB of internal memory, and a microSD card slot for expansion.

The bad news is that, there is no Wi-Fi connection, 3G or even GPS, which is why this phone comes cheap, but the good news is that it comes with some eco-friendly features, a solar panel and a single button below the display, that can answer and end a phone call and even back out to a menu.

The new Nokia X6 16GB will be a Symbian powered device and will feature a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display, 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, HSPA, GPS with Ovi Maps, 3.5mm headset jack, and some pre-loaded games. This phone will have smaller capacity than its bigger brother, but then it should be enough to fit 5,500 tracks. It is said that this ‘lighter’ Nokia X6 16GB is now being offered on pre-order via Nokia USA online store for about $455.

The new LG Lollipop 2, just like the original version, will come in a clamshell form and will be targeted towards the young and most likely the female population. This phone will have about 220 LEDs in total on its exterior, which lets its users actually pimp this device with their choice of animation. There are several different animations for SMS, e-mails and calls, and about five different themes and skins available for GUI. Other standard features include a DMB TV tuner, a digital camera, and GPS navigation.

It looks like LG will continue naming their cell phones after food. After the popular LG Chocolate, which had enticing design and features, now they are launching the LG Waffle SV770. Unlike the popular Chocolate , this new Waffle doesn’t have that interesting and ground-breaking features. Instead, the LG Waffle SV770 is a basic slider phone with some basic features that is enough for people who aren’t really looking for something groundbreaking. One good thing though, is that its design somehow makes up the loss of features. Weighing about 95 grams and measuring 13.5mm thick, the new Waffle looks like a delectable waffle because of the quilted-like diamond pattern on the back.

Feature wise this will be just a 2G phone, and will include 2.4-inch TFT display with 320 x 240 pixels, 2-megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth, and a microSD memory card slot that support up to 8GB.

Samsung has now announced its new E2370 rugged phone at the MWC 2010. This completely ruggedized device offers a very basic and simple features which are definitely highly functional in its tough candybar form factor. This new Samsung comes with a IP54 certification, and which means that the phone is highly resistant against dust and splashes of water.

Other features in the phone include a 1.77-inch 128 x 160 pixels display, 0.3-pixel VGA camera with VGA resolution video recording, multimedia player, FM radio, Bluetooth, Torchlight, mobile tracker, dual speaker, microSD card support, and 2,000mAh battery.
