On the International Radio Exhibition (IFA) in Berlin, Sony Ericsson has now presented the prototype of a transparent cell phones. The mobile phone is, therefore, of the Xperia series, bears the model name Pureness and has a completely transparent display. When the phone is turned off, users can practically see through it through the mobile phone display. When users switch on their phones, but will see a menu on the monochrome screen.

Almost as simple as the display and the keyboard comes along. When Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness waived namely, any label in the mobile phone keypad. Only if the phone is switched on, light up each number keys on easily. Responsible for this is a backlight, shining on the numeric keypad of the phone from the inside.

Although Sony Ericsson currently presents only a prototype: the show is Xperia Pureness already this November. The simple elegance allows the handset makers, however, cost quite a bit. To the 700 is interested in the Xperia Pureness probably have to fork out in every case.

Scarcely better is the new Xperia X2 (sale price: 670 euros) before subsidies, which has now also been formally introduced to Sony Ericsson at the IFA. As we reported in August, comes the new Xperia X2, inter alia, with 3.5-inch touch screen, QWERTY keyboard and Wi-Fi, HSDPA and 8.1 megapixel camera. The sale will start in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The mint condition camera technology is the first highlight of the INNOV8. The 8-megapixel camera offers high resolution and detailed reproduction of subtleties of each image. Many additional tools provide an optimal image capture. Face detection ensures accurate capture outlines and silhouettes. The autofocus refine the sharpness, lighting and contrast. Since we do not in any situation always has a steady hand and an occasional tremor in normal human motor function, the INNOV8 has a built-in stabilizer. This compensates for any vibrations and provides a suitable picture. Finally, the high light always brings the best lighting in any situation.

But the video playback is a strength of the Samsung phones. A surround system that can optimally uses the speakers on the phone, play videos and present in a given context. The 8-gigabyte memory is included here, provides immediate applications in the multimedia framework. Thus it is possible his favorite movies, music or programs that load on your cell phone and play them there, edit, or easily transported further. If this is too little, can obtain an additional 16 gigabytes in the form of a MicroSD card. The 2.8 “display with its 16 million colors provides crystal clear playback, and optimal color reproduction, as they can offer only the most modern screens at home.

Common functions such as Internet access, including the visits to websites or sending mails round out the package. Even modern games can be played in miniature on the INNOV8. The mobile phone from Samsung delivers what it promises. It boasts a nice design, interesting features and a multimedia arsenal, which was not yet reached by the competition in this form.

Another innovation is to be the faster processor. Instead of a 528-MHz CPU is in touch HD2 now a 628-MHz processor from Qualcomm used. For comparison, some phones already come with processors at 800 MHz (Samsung S8000 Jet) even up to 1 GHz (Toshiba equipped TG01). At the touch screen will be no changes: As the successor to the Touch HD will supposedly also equipped with a 3.8 inch display with 480 x 800 pixels. Market launch and price are still unknown.

New design and new features for developers

Changes come with version 1.6
In addition, there will be four new software categories: sports, health, themes and comics. In addition, the Android Market is now open to Italian developer. To boost sales, could one day be small banner ads are displayed. Generally, users can enjoy in the future, a colorful and clear design, the new version will look a lot smarter. In addition, three filters have been implemented to help – “Top Paid”, “Top Free”, “Just In” – the users will quickly find the most popular or newest applications. The changes are probably already keeping up with the upcoming Android version 1.6 (codename donut) feeder.

The view of the device information will reveal other details. The ARM11 CPU clocked at 528 megahertz and the new operating system Windows Mobile 6.5 can access a RAM memory of 256 megabytes. These technical data, however, correspond exactly to the previous Xperia X1. Sony Ericsson also uses old technology for its upcoming, 700 euros expensive top model?

The manufacturer assures, however, that the Xperia X2 up to 40 percent faster than its predecessor, but does not mention any details about the processor. It is also possible that only a few prototypes are still running with an old hardware platform – but that does not appear very likely.

It’s also hard to imagine that Sony Ericsson X1 relies on the old technology. Because a major problem for the first Xperia model was the speed. The graphically rich interface panel reacted only with delays, either because the software was not optimally adapted to the hardware, or because the processor and memory have not been sufficient. Clarity can only bring the end of the manufacturer, when he published the technical details for chipset. One AreaMobile can now assure Already the X2 prototype responds faster than the retail version of the X1.

Although it has lasted a little longer this time – that hackers from the iPhone Dev Team is reliable. As of now the owner can activate the iPhone 3G firmware 2.2 using their phones simple software unlock for all SIM cards – and totally free and easy.

Even better:) After the jailbreak (activation of the mobile phone you can, for example with the installation program Cydia numerous practical tools to load their mobile phones. You can contact the cracked iPhone including videos, send MMS and run multiple applications. All this work can not even iPhone.

In the new operating system Microsoft has placed high expectations. It will bring the decline since the end of 2008, far from Microsoft’s market share in mobile operating systems back on profit track. Compared with modern operating systems such as outdated Android, Symbian, and especially Apple’s OS for the iPhone Windows Mobile 6.1 and had suffered from a significantly worse performance. We already had the opportunity to obtain the latest Windows 6.1 come with the Windows phone to compare.

Benefits
The Curve 8520 is designed as an affordable entry-level model. It comes in the typical BlackBerry-style with a well-to-use and full QWERTY keyboard and a 49 x 37 millimeters wide screen with 320 x 240 pixels. The control buttons below the display are integrated into the housing flat in 8520 and persuade with a good pressure point. The otherwise normal models for Curve Trackball RIM has changed in 8520 for the first time against a touch-sensitive Navi-Key. With a little practice, the control works quite well, but users who are accustomed to a trackball control, they will be missed. You can determine the sensitivity of the Navitaste own via the menu.

Business users will benefit from the pre-application ‘Office To Go “. It allows you to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and edit it. BlackBerry typically you will find a mail client for mail accounts with push support. However, you must activate the push-mail function separately.

For musical entertainment ensures a player that also ID3 tags and artwork displays. You can adjust the sound by equalizer on your sonic preferences. Your own headphones thanks to 3.5-millimeter jack  on your mobile. Top of the case can be found operating keys for the music player. The simple camera can record photos at the rear with a maximum of two million pixels and recording and small to music videos. The quality of the photos can be proud of, despite rather low resolution.

In the field of acoustics may also listen to the 8520th Voices were both on the phone, the fixed-line and also from the hands-free speaking, of course, and were well understood. The battery life is quite good, with three and a half hours at full power satisfying. Also, the operating speed of 8520 was the test in order.

Disadvantages
Who wants to send data fast over the cellular network that can use 8520 is limited. Reason: RIM has given the phone not even the UMTS data turbo HSDPA. Only WLAN, EDGE or GPRS you can use for a wireless data exchange.

Also the web access makes the 8520 limited sense. If no WLAN is available, the user needs a lot of patience when calling sites or when e-mails by insidiously slow performance.

Now, Sony Ericsson also enters into the market of slim phones. The W880i is quite slim, with a weight of only 10 millimeters, such as the Nokia 6300, Motorola Motofone F3 or Samsung SGH-Z370. Right on the other hand, the abundant features: UMTS, music player, megapixel camera, 1 GB memory card – all here. Whether the Walkman phone weighs a remarkable degree, despite its meager benefits, clears the test.

Equipment, solid finish
Although the focus is clearly on the music function, the Sony Ericsson W880i has donated plenty of extras. Thus, the reader can, for example, for video calls via UMTS. Furthermore, it can record videos for a long time – thanks to the included 1-gigabyte memory card up to 16 hours at a stretch. This sleek case is processed very stable. The COMPUTERBILD robustness test (including the case and spray test), it survived completely harmless. Very good! Are used in practice, there’s no reason to complain: nothing clattered to the equipment or wobbled.

Deserve the criticism, however, much too small and closely spaced buttons below the display. Without slender fingers can be difficult to avoid malfunctions. Also, the numeric and alphabetic keyboard requires getting used to: It consists of 6 millimeters long and 1 mm wide metal pins. An Indian fakir might enjoy typing on this nail boards, perhaps, for the rest of humanity’s is simply annoying.

Sound and speicherstark
Balanced and very powerful sound brought the music player in the test to be heard. The music store is worthy of praise: About 360 songs in full quality fit on the included 1-GB memory card. It also offers the W880i’s menus, and clearly the ability to create custom play lists. So it can really compete with an MP3 player.

Ease of Use
Even beginners can phone the W880i is quite easy and intuitive to use, so to speak. The menus have meaningful symbols and appear on the screen-brightness pleasantly clear.

Regular reception, good endurance values
In the Sony Ericsson puts a battery with plenty of stamina: even with intense use of cellular phones was the current memory after 24 hours limp. For the non-stop music playback a charge filed by the power cell for a good 13 hours. But the duration was the readiness to receive class: between 231 hours (in the UMTS network) and 275 hours (D-Net), a battery held out. Thanks to full transmission and reception quality of the W880i is recommended for use in areas with relatively weak radio coverage. ]]> http://www.prepaidcellphonestoday.com/sony-ericsson-w880i/feed/ 0 http://www.prepaidcellphonestoday.com/versatile-multimedia-phone-the-nokia-n97/ http://www.prepaidcellphonestoday.com/versatile-multimedia-phone-the-nokia-n97/#comments Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:12:37 +0000 admin http://www.prepaidcellphonestoday.com/?p=218

There are pros and cons of the pay as you go, or prepaid, cell phone plan. It all depends on your needs, though here are a quick points to help you:

PROS

• When you sign up to these phone plans you won’t have to sign up with any contract as with traditional plans.
• You pay upfront and then each minute and text you use is taken from this money, which means there is no monthly bill to work out.
• If you have a poor credit score then you can benefit from the fact that many cell phone providers don’t do a credit check.
• Most of these offer won’t require any deposit, and the purchase can even go through in a matter of minutes.
• If you have children that need a cell phone then this is a great option as there are no age limits, and your children can just get more minutes when they need it.
• You won’t be surprised by any hidden fees since you pay everything in advance – as well as the fact there are no fees for cancelling the contract.

CONS

• When you’ve spent all the money on your phone you’ll no longer be able to use it once the moneys all used up. Sometimes you may even have to apply for a new number.
• If you do choose to use a pay as you go cell phone plan then you should bear in mind that long distance calls are a lot more expensive. They may cost around twice as much as they would with traditional cell phone plans.
• With prepaid cell phone plans there are often special deals and bonuses. However, you will probably find that most of the services available in a standard contract aren’t available on your prepaid plan. This could include not having any wireless internet access. And if you do want to ever use the special services like this then you may find that they end up costing you a lot more.
• The phones you will get on these plans aren’t usually given to you on special price offers, so they will usually cost you a lot more.
• If your younger children need to use a phone for any reason, you’ll have to teach them how to activate the prepaid phone cards in order to add more money onto the phone to make calls.
