Here's some interesting mobile phone scoop. According to UnwiredView, Nokia may be preparing to release two new mobile phones that target women customers. These are S40 devices and the info on these device followed the official release of the Nokia 7310 Supernova, another cell phone for women.


The Story:

OK, here's how the handset spies form UnwiredView acquired the info on these new Nokia mobile phones. Apparently, the webmaster from Nokia's Polish site inadvertently released the information on this two mobile phones for women. The image above was taken from the site.

The Polish Nokia site has already taken down the page devoted to this mobile phones.

These cell phones for women were names Nokia 7510 and 7610 Supernova. However, experts say that the second phone named 7610 may be another mistake because Nokia already has a discontinued device bearing that name. The mobile phone maker has been known to revamp the old models and release them as new. However, since this mobile phone is completely new phone, in a new form factor, it's highly unlikely that it will bear a the same serial number that was bestowed to another device.

This handset offers a combined slider candybar design and sports a number of mid-range features. The features include a 2MP camera with video support, FM radio, QVGA screen, 3.5mm headphone jack, and more.

The device is limited to tri-band and lacks 3G. The phone also has uneven backlighting and the memory card slot has been placed under the battery cover.

Well, those are the main info on the Nokia XpressMusic 5310. I think this is another addition to the series of music phones from Nokia. If you want a music centric device then you should consider this handset.

Samsung F400: a Premium Dual-slider Music Phone

Here's a scoop that music phone lovers will like. Samsung just unveiled a premium dual-slider music phone for consumers who love to listen to their favorite artists on their handsets. Music lovers, say hello to the Samsung F400 dual-slider music phone!

Music playing handsets are usually more expensive than your average cell phones. However, the price becomes lees of an issue if the music mobile phone also offers a set of features that would justify the price. Well, Samsung's new F400 music phone offers great features that would put a lot of other music phones to shame.

However, some experts note that the Samsung lacks a bit of originality because it borrows a few concepts from its competitors. For example, the dual-sliding design of the Samsung F400 was already used by Nokia with the Nokia N95. Samsung's new premium music phone becomes a metallic keypad equipped handset when users slide it up. The music functions become visible and combine with the music hotkey in the middle of the phone, when users slide it down.

The Samsung F400 is schedule to be released in mobile phone stores in France. Then it will be available in other cell phone markets around the globe by the end of the year. There is no clear information on the price. Some experts say that it will be a popular phone if it’s not too expensive. Tune in for more news on new mobile phones and mobile product reviews.

Customers will have their pick on the colors set to launch with the KickStart and they’ll be anodized. The back battery cover will either be a soft-touch rubberized finish, or a low gloss finish. Perhaps customer will have some sort of customization opportunities for the end user with the low gloss finish.

It will run on OS 4.6 and offer a 2 Megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, WiFi and sport 16-bit color LCDs. The internal LCD offers 240×320 resolution while the external one is 160×128.

With a size of 3.76in x 1.83in x 0.73in and weighing just 3.88 ounces, the FlipShot is a small and light device that fits it's role as an entertainment and fashion handset. It comes in two fashionable and hot colors namely, red and black. The 880 mAh LiIon batteries power the device to more than three hundred hours of standby and four hours of talktime.

Among it's plentiful features, the camera is probably the most important factor in giving the Samsung SCH-U900 it's appeal. The FlipShot offers a 3-megapixel camera that is capable of proving users with panoramic and high resolution images. It would be a shame to feature a lowly 1.3 megapixel on this device.

It also offers a good QVGA display to supplement the 3-megapixel camera. After all, what good is a great camera if you don't have a display that would give you the best view of the images you've taken or recorded. The 2.2" display is diagonal and has 240 x 320 pixels of resolution that will provide vivid details of any image taken.

The Verizon FlipShot also offers Bluetooth and USB access for mass storage of data. If offers the generic contact features found in the latest handset models such as Multiple Numbers per Name, Picture ID, Ringer ID and Voice Dialing. As an entertainment phone, the FlipShot offers customization features including ringtones and graphics.

I think that we should move on because I may be boring you with these details. Anyway, you can easily get these information on the Samsung SCH-U900 from a Cell Phone Reviews website. I think you'll be more interested to know about what users think about this device.

After checking out several user reviews on the Verizon Flipshot, it was obvious that the Consumers like the handset's design and form factor. They also like the 3-megapixel camera because of the great picture quality it offers. Several users also appreciated the device's sturdy build and the fact that it is less bulkier than its predecessor. Some have also made positive obbservations on the handset's battery life.

However, some users have also found a few problems when they tried the Samsung SCH-U900. One of the most common complaints are on the speed of the FlipShot's camera. While the pictures produced by the 3-megapixel camera looks great, taking a photo takes a bit of time. This means taking pictures of moving objects like active kids can be quite difficult. Some have observed that there may be some software issues which makes composing text messages a bit difficult.

There you have it. those are some of the useful information on the Verizon FlipShot or the Samsung SCH-U900. I'm sure that this post do not contain all the important data about this handset so you should check out mobile phone sites if you want more info on this phone.

Samsung SPH-i325 Ace

I have recently been reading plenty of smart phone rumors in many mobile phone site. After reading about the details on upcoming smartphone through the grapevine, I decide to feature a smartphone on this blog. Let's see if the Samsung SPH-i325 or Ace is really an ace in the smartphone world.

The Ace offers plenty of features and functionalities that are packed within a solid design. It's main selling point is the dual-mode CDMA/GSM capabilities that it offers. With this feature, the Samsung Ace is pretty much assured of having a loyal fan base.

Let's us explore this PDA"s physical attributes first. The Ace presents a very familiar QWERTY equipped block form factor like its predecessors in Samsung's PDA line up. It's dimensions are 118mm x 59mm x 12mm (4.6" x 2.3" x .5") which makes it taller than most devices offered by Samsung. It's camera is nestled in a a 4mm bulge located at the back of the handset. It weighs in at 113g (4.0oz) which is relatively lighter than other similar devices.

The Ace has a typical Samsung smartphone keyboard and has large dual sided keys . Some critics observes that the designed is much improved when compared to the ones used on older models. A scroll wheel located on the handset's right edge, near the covered microSD card slot provides users the ability to scroll.

Let's move on to the smart phone's functionalities. The Samsung Ace offers a speakerphone function that performs well according to users. However, many critics were not satisfied with the sound quality even though the sounds produced are clear enough to be understood.

Cell phone critics praised the Samsung Ace for having a good contacts system that allows users to store all sorts of data. The smartphone's QWERTY keyboard makes contact searching easy. Users can simply by type names from the standby screen to search for contacts. it also offers a good profiles system that includes an automatic mode. This mode allows users to change between the normal and meeting profiles depending on calendar schedule.

Since the Ace is an an EV-DO device, speedy downloads over Sprint's CDMA network is one of its capabilities. It can be used as a laptop modem using Bluetooth or USB connection with the help of of its Windows Mobile Internet Sharing application available. The package includes a USB cable for this purpose.

Users may not be able to store a lot in the device's relatively limited 20MB of internal storage space. Fortunately, it can be augmented with microSD memory cards to provide more storage space. However, the handset's microSD slot Ace does not support the newer, high capacity cards.

The Samsung ace offers a 1.3 megapixel camera but it lacks the resolution found on other smartphone cameras. Nevertheless, it is capable of taking a decent photo and offers a good user interface. Users can adjust the settings from the typical white balance and resolution controls to a self timer and a configurable shutter sound. Users can also switch the camera into video mode and record memorable video clips.

The info suggest that the Samsung Ace is a decent smart phone. It offers good features and have been described as reliable. It does have its shortcomings like the camera and a below average battery life as observed by some users. If you want to see or learn more about this device then you can check out this video review.

LG Vu: Offers AT&T's MobileTV

Recently, there have been rumors about the LG Vu. AT&T has not been willing to comment on a possible release date. However, it seems that it will be released pretty soon as AT&T is getting ready to launched it's Mobile TV. An since, the LG Vu is the first AT&T handset to support live TV with MediaFLO technology, it only makes since that it will be released with the service.

CTIA 2008 gave mobile phone enthusiasts an opportunity to get a glimpse of the highly anticipated LG Vu. And certainly the prototype displayed at the show impressed some observers. AT&T also became more open with the device and indicated that the mobile TV handset will be released in May.

It also became known that the LG VU will be offered in two version. The first one has mobile TV support while the other one in unsupported. You can tell the difference between the two by the presence or absence of the mobile TV antenna. This means if you are not interested with AT&T's mobile TV service, it still makes sense to get the phone. Aside from being equipped with MediaFLO technology, the lG Vu also offers other feather.

The Vu also offers HSDPA 3.6, a 2 megapixel camera, video sharing, stereo Bluetooth, and a memory card slot. The device screen is large to handle the demands of Mobile TV and a slick touchscreen interface. Observers at CTIA say that the video quality is good but there a few things that need to be worked on. For instance, a user need to master the correct way of pushing down or the device will nor recognize the buttoin action.

The product displayed at the show was not the finished production model so LG will probably fix a few things before AT&t launches the LG Vu in May. The rumors say that it will cost about 230 dollars and fifteen bucjks will be charged for the mobile TV service. Stay tuned for more updates on this cool mobile phone.
