Mobile Phone Haven

Motorola XT701 is announced in Korea and will be known by the name of Motorola XT720 Motoroi. This mobile runs on Android 2.0 and will be aiming at those who prefer an ultimate smartphone experience. This will also come loaded with many Google applications and will feature 3.7-inch WVGA multi-touch display with 480 x 854 pixels, 8-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, DMB-TV support, HDMI port, and 8GB of internal memory with microSD card expansion.

LG’s first Android device is set to be launched in UK - the LG InTouch Max GW620. There’s actually nothing new in the design of this LG GW620, and features slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3-inch touchscreen HVGA display, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, HSDPA connectivity, and a microSD card support.

Samsung is planning on releasing another slider phone for the Indian market. This is actually a low-to-mid end range phone. Features include a 2.1-inch screen, 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash, FM radio with RDS, quad-band GSM connectivity, Bluetooth, media player, office documents viewer, fake call, and 50MB of internal memory, which is expandable up to 8GB.

If you’re in the market for a simple phone, then you must probably go for the Alcatel’s OT-I650 entry level handset.The OT-I650 sports a built-in accelerometer, which helps in effortlessly switch between applications by just shaking the phone, a music player, an FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and an integrated flashlight at the top.

Sony Ericsson’s latest multimedia-centric phone seems to be a serious iPhone contender with its HD-capable, 8.1 Megapixel camera which can shoot 720p video. It also flaunts 8GBs of storage, a 3.2” screen, out of the box Facebook and Twitter integration, and a plethora of other bells and whistles, which most likely will make it popular.

The latest mobile phone from HTC is named HTC Smart, ironically the ’smartness’ is limited to only the name as this is actually an affordable phone with smartphone features and hence it is stripped of some of HTC’s legendary groundbreaking features. The HTC Smart uses Qualcomm Brew platform along with HTC Sense UI. It will be probably running on a 300MHz processor with 256MB ROM and 256MB RAM. Other standard features include a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display, 3-megapixel camera with integrated flash, 3.5mm headset jack, GSM and HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth with A2DP, and a microSD card slot.

Samsung has released another pico projecting device Samsung W9600, which is said to be the successor to last year’s W7900. We have not much info about this new W9600 but then it is said to use the Texas Instruments’ WVGA chip for projection, and will feature a 5-megapixel camera, large touch sensitive AMOLED screen display, and also capability to project videos, photos and even W9600’s interface.

Even though the Samung S5550 and the S5500 have almost similar names they are entirely different phones. The latter has lower specs compared to the S5550, but then it is also a slider phone with a 2.2-inch QVGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera, music player, HSDPA connectivity, 15MB internal storage and an expandable microSD card slot. The slider design is not as interesting as the S5550, though someone with a flair for black and red combination would surely find this amusing.
