If you are looking for a stylish phone with some real power, then you must go for Nokia 3600 Slide after Nokia 6600 Slide. This is one of those mobiles which have really designed to perform some really tedious jobs in really amazing and sophisticated ways.
First thing first, its design is something that will really flabbergast you as soft ceramic paints have been used to give it the beautiful and attractive look. To enhance the overall visual appeal metals with glossy surface have been used in this phone to complete that sophisticated look. It uses the sliding style with perfection and makes it look so eye catching that people really fancy buying it. It weighs only 97.3g with 2-inch screen. Screen is something that really makes it even attractive and with the availability of five way navigating key, it becomes easy to explore through the mobile.
Apart from that catchy look, it has some strong features that make it much more lovable by people in general. 240 x 320 pixels and TFT along with 16M colors it certainly becomes a treat for people to watch some nice videos on it. It supports all major file formats along with all known audio formats as well. When it comes to music, it has a dedicated music player in it that can store as many as 3000 songs. It has become possible as it can support a 4GB card. It can also store a good number of video songs and files which can be really amazing to watch with nice screen resolution.


Camera is one great feature that accompanies with this mobile. There is a 3.15 MP camera in this mobile that also has 2048×1536 pixels which makes it so wonderful to take pictures at will. Auto focus is an added benefit with this mobile which come along with a flash that makes things even astonishing. In fact, there is a 2-LED flash that makes it so easy to take pictures in some unfavorable lighting conditions and you can see your pictures on your TV as it comes with a TV out option as well.
It also comes with an optional application named as Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W. This certainly is another amazing thing in this mobile as it contains the maps for more than 15 million points. Other than this, it has internet connectivity through GPRS and it also contains WAP, Modem and email client. Apart from these amazing features, there are all other general features as well. What else could you ask for!
As a whole, it certainly is one of those mobiles for which you will find a big yes, especially when you will compare it with other mobiles, you will see that it has almost all of the services that one need to have in a mobile. Also, when it comes to price, it really becomes even more amazing and attractive for people as it has an estimated price of 175 Euros which certainly is nothing when compared to its features

n 96

Mere mortals will need to wait until the third quarter of the year — if not longer, depend on their region and tolerance for some probable price gouging in the early going — to get their hands on the mighty Nokia N96. On the other hand, Mobile-review apparently knows the right hands to shake and eyes to wink to get hold of a prototype unit extraordinarily early, and they’re taking full advantage of the opportunity. A few hours of your time devoted to the novella of a review will net you a deep understanding and appreciation for the N96’s strengths and follies, but in a nutshell, the site seems to come away with a pretty ambivalent opinion of a device that should be knocking everyone’s socks off — especially for a sticker price that’ll hover in the $800 arena.

Neonode N2 Mobile Phone

Neonode, a Swedish mobile communications brand, will launch their latest mobile phone Neonode N2 in the US in 2008. The phone utilizes exclusive neno user interface and zForce optical touch screen technology.

The most recent development in mobile phone technology is the emerging popularity of the touch screen. Neonode N2 uses the most advanced touch screen technology, the zForce optical touch screen. It doesn’t need any hard pressure or stylus, but works quickly and accurately by reacting to sweeping and tapping signals on the screen. The intuitively organized user interface, neno, also enables the applications and contents to be accessed fast and easily.
“Our main focus is the user experience, which is the true key behind Neonode N2. It ranges from how you are able to use it, which we have enabled through zForce the optical screen, down to the easiness your applications and content can be accessed, which we solved through the combination of zForce and neon, the user interface,” said Mikael Hagman, President and CEO of Neonode.
Neonode N2’s United States phone carrier and retail availability will be announced the second quarter 2008. Neonode will be showcasing Neonode N2 mobile phone, as well as their intuitive technologies at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas January 7-10.

The cell phone maker's new phones are priced between 50 euros and 90 euros, targeting cheapest offerings from its main rivals, all of whom have so far shied from competing with Nokia's scale-benefits in making even cheaper phones.

Nokia expects replacement sales to consumers who already own a phone to grow to more than 60 per cent of sales volumes in emerging markets this year from around 50 per cent last year.

"We see a major trend happening there," said Alex Lambeek, head of emerging markets business at Nokia's entry unit.

When asked whether the firm was afraid of rivals getting into Nokia's stronghold – its entry unit gross margin has been at over 25 per cent level – Lambeek said:

"We have a healthy level of paranoia, but at the same time we have our own strategy and the key is to execute that – adding new dimensions like services and driving this replacement market and I believe that will keep us ahead."

Nokia expects spreading of FM radio receivers and recorders, cameras, and music players to boost replacement demand on emerging markets.

"The FM radio story is the first thing. Having FM on wider range of entry products and now FM recording. I would argue FM recording is the multimedia innovation for emerging markets," Lambeek said.

Two of the new phones unveiled at a media event in Johannesburg, the Nokia 5000 and Nokia 2680, have radio recording function.

Nokia unveiled a low-end multimedia phone Nokia 5000, which it plans to start selling this quarter for around 90 euros ($NZ178), excluding taxes and subsidies.

This quarter it would also start to sell its cheapest cameraphone, Nokia 1680 Classic, which would retail for 50 euros, when excluding taxes and subsidies.

The Finnish handset maker said Nokia 2680, with a sliding design and priced at 75 euros, and Nokia 7070 Prism, priced at 50 euros, would both go on sale in the third quarter.

"To keep the very strong leadership position in the emerging markets we have, we need to give consumers more choice – be it on design, be it on features, and in the future on services as well," Lambeek said.

"In many emerging markets, also in Africa, the first email will be sent and seen through the mobile device."

In Africa and the Middle East, its market share was 67 per cent in the fourth quarter, according to Strategy Analytics.

Late on Tuesday Nokia unveiled three mobile devices – two phones for CDMA networks and an Internet tablet – at a trade show in the United States.

Telstra brings i-mate mobiles to Oz

Aussie telco Telstra has announced an exclusive deal with i-mate T to deliver two high-speed i-mate Ultimate mobile devices to the local market.

i-mateT has announced the launch of the i-mate Ultimate 8502 and i-mateT Ultimate 9502 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Telstra is the first operator to deploy these devices globally and both will be exclusive in Australia to Telstra customers.

Holly Kramer, group managing director, Telstra Product Management said: “We’re excited to be the first mobile operator in the world to offer these new i-mateT Ultimate devices.”

The five-year partnership between i-mate and Telstra has seen the launch of 10 i-mateT devices on the Telstra network. According to Kramer, the speed of the devices is well-suited to Telstra’s Next G network.

“These advanced devices from i-mate are rated at down link speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and up link speeds of 1.9Mbps, making them the fastest PDAs available on the Next G network. The devices were chosen for their ability to showcase the power of Telstra’s Next G network,” she said.

Using Windows Mobile software, both the Ultimate 8502 and Ultimate 9502 house a very similar advanced feature set including Direct Video Out that connects the device to a digital projector or TV, Custom i-Q to quickly define your personal settings, and Secure i-Q to remotely lock and wipe the Ultimate device if it’s lost or stolen.

Jim Morrison, chief executive officer and founder, i-mate said: “We don’t believe that one size fits all. We offer a full range of Windows Mobile powered devices. We then customise these devices to suit the unique requirements of individual customers.”

Designed to run at optimal performance on the Telstra Next G network, the Ultimate devices from i-mateT are the first mobile handsets on the Next G network to offer high speed data uploading via HSUPA as well as high speed data downloading via HSDPA.
