The comeback handset Motorola is launching is called… Droid, or was it Droid “Does”, coz it’s meant to do everything the iphone can’t. I played with one at the Verizon store and I must admit, the screen is gorgeous. As I never owned an Android phone running 1.5, I couldn’t tell the difference with Version 2.0. I did try out the free turn-by-turn navigation and it’s good enough I guess, still can’t beat a dedicated GPS unit. Overall, the feel and look of it is great, abit too big for my taste but that’s the price you pay for a 4.1″ screen. Check out the review by Engadget here.
Engadget got their hands on a new phone from Palm named Pixi. It runs WebOS and comes with a full Qwerty keyboard. Most of the features are there but no wi-fi, loks like Palm is gearing up again. Ah, happy days ahead… Check it out here.
HTC just announced today their 3rd Android handset named Hero. It’s similar looking to the HTC Dream or G2 but now it comes with customised UI like the TouchFlo UI seen on HTC WinMo devices. Check out the demo below, looking good mates.
Yes I know I’m abit late with this news so you should know by now that Apple have updated their iphone by adding a “S” to it. That’s all folks, good bye. Wait, that’s little bit more, the “S” stands for “Speed” as its supposed to be twice as fast. Now, it comes with digital compass and you can even send MMS and record video, whoop-pee-doo. Just like my trusty old N95 which I got back in 2007. Welcome to the party Apple iphone. Meh, I’m not impressed, gimme the Palm Pre anytime.
Engadget has some news of Palm’s next mobile handset (codenamed Eos) going to AT&T running WebOS. The specs looks fairly decent with most features but no wi-fi. It has a smaller screen at 2.6″ and full qwerty keyboard. I wish the screen was bigger tho, maybe at 3″, that should be perfect. Check it out here.
Samsung have announced their first ever Android phone, named the I7500. It’s a slim touch-screen only phone with full features like 7.2M HSDPA, up to 40Gb internal memorial plus an external SD slot, wi-fi etc.. Now I wonder how much this phone will cost, sounds expensive. Check it out here.
Kogan, an Australian company is selling, Yes Selling!! an Android powered 3G mobile phone call the Agora. And you know what, the specs is quite impressive too, comes with wifi, GPS, Bluetooth and full Qwerty KB. The design is rather nice too, who know, this might be the next big thing. Check it out here.
CNet’s got a video review of the upcoming Black Berry Storm. One special feature is that the whole screen is a button, you have to press down to register a click. The usual features are there but there is no wifi!!! Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all.
HTC is to launch their very first Android phone named “Dream” tomorrow (09/23/2008) at a New York Event. T-mobile will be the lead carrier to sell this phone. Looks promising, the software feels smooth and have alot of potential tho the Handset looks abit bulky. I’ll probably wait abit longer before getting one of these babies. Check out a demo here.
Wow, I’m truely impressed. The upcoming Samsung i8510 will come with 8mb internal camera. Not only that, it’s got ALL the features of the Nokia N95, wifi, 16Gb internal memory, A-GPS, UMTS with HSDPA, yada yada… Check it out here.
