We reviewed the Motorola Milestone earlier this year and even now it is our belief that it is perhaps one of the best Android based GSM handsets available. Additionally unlike the Motorola DROID (the MILESTONE’s CDMA counterpart) which has been facing delays on and off for its much anticipated Android 2.1 update (update, Android 2.1 for Motorola DROID is rolling out now), the Motorola Milestone has an Over The Air (OTA) update available now. In fact, in the rest of the post below you will even find a manual download link to update your Motorola MILESTONE if you do not fancy OTA updates. (more…)

Android has Google Maps, Nokia has Ovi Maps but Apple does not really have a high quality free navigation app for its iPhone. Or perhaps it does, the MapQuest 4 Mobile application for iPhone is still free and has now been upgraded to include Voice Guidance. Yes, for those of us who love anything free and more importantly for iPhone users who are looking for a decent GPS/navigation app can now test run MapQuest 4 Mobile on iTunes or download it by clicking here. A more detailed review of MapQuest 4 Mobile for Apple iPhone is available after the break. (more…)

At the CTIA Wireless 2010 event held in Las Vegas, LG showcased its latest products this past week and one of the cellphones that caught our eye was the LG Arena GT950 mobile phone. The technical specifications and features individually are good but not amazing as in the case of the Samsung S8500 Wave which features Wi-Fi 802.11 n, Bluetooth 3.0, Bada OS and a Super AMOLED display any of which would make a cellphone intriguing. Rather it is the combined package that you get with the LG Arena GT950 smart phone which has us interested and therefore this preview. (more…)

Many of you might remember the Samsung Corby 3650 smart phone, a lower end touchscreen phone that had features enough to satisfy the less discriminating amongst users. Now Samsung is going to do what it has done for the Samsung S5230 Star and introduce a new version of the Samsung Corby 3650 mobile phone. This new version, to be known as the Samsung Corby 3650W will feature Wi-Fi. In some countries the Samsung Corby 3650W Wi-Fi cellphone will be known as the Samsung Corby 3653W smart phone instead.

LG has been pushing its Cookie line to the fore recently but has also been releasing low cost, low feature phones from time to time. The latest to join this long list of low feature phones are the LG GS107 mobile phone and LG GS155 cellphone. Both the LG GS107 cellphone and LG GS155 mobile phone are GSM band phones and perhaps their best feature is their Wireless FM feature which we will talk more about below. Other than that the LG GS155 can be said to have more features than the LG GS107, the latter might be rivaled in terms of features by the Nokia 1110. (more…)

Palm has had its ups and downs this year, the release of the Palm webOS UI along with the Palm Pre cellphone and Palm Pixi mobile phone were definitely high points with all three of Palm’s products being rated highly. On the other hand, lower than expected sales along with diminishing market share over the years have combined to cause Palm’s shares to dip and traders to advise selling their shares. This has caused much concern and worry amongst Palm fans and lovers. We review the Palm Pixi Plus smart phone in this post as it is one of the reasons why we believe Palm will make a strong recovery.

This one really is far from being confirmed and the leak, while it suggests that a really top of the line device might be forthcoming from Nokia around September, is nowhere near a confirmed report. The Nokia N8-00 cellphone which some are calling the Nokia N87 and others yet are calling the Nokia N98 seems likely to be the first Symbian^3 device to be released by Nokia. If that is not enough to get your attention then according to the leaked photos and details, it seems the Nokia N8-00 mobile phone will also feature a 12 Mega Pixel camera with auto-focus and a Xenon flash with Carl Zeiss optics.

Samsung recently announced their latest Android based handset, the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S which looks set to be their flagship Android phone. Not only are its features top notch but it will also be among the first few phones to be DivX HD certified and capable of 720p video playback. Of course the first DivX HD certified phone is set to be the Samsung S8500 Wave smart phone which may now be pre-ordered at various online stores in the UK and in Germany. The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S mobile phone though looks to be awhile in hitting store shelves if “available soon” is anything to go by. (more…)

Few details have been released of the Dell Aero Android based smart phone which we fully expect to see at the CTIA Wireless event being held in Las Vegas this week. What we do know about the Dell Aero does intrigue us, as does the undeniable similarity to the Dell Mini 3. Additionally the claim that the Dell Aero is set to be the lightest Android based phone yet is also worth investigating and we will do so as soon as we get our hands on one, though that time might yet be a long way coming for the Dell Aero cellphone.

SanDisk was the company that originally made microSD although back then they called it TransFlash or T-Flash, they are however still pioneers and often considered industry leaders in this field. Starting today, SanDisk has started shipping 32 GB microSDHC cards. In other news a new image sensor technology seems likely to allow cellphones to take almost digital camera like quality photos. Also, Samsung set a Guinness world record for fastest texting in a commercial using the Swype application. (more…)
