Mexican carrier suggests iPhone 4 without antenna woes due September 30

by admin under Apple, iphone 4

A semi-official confirmation has appeared today concerning an alleged iPhone 4 revision supposed to fix the nasty antenna issue, better known in the headlines as Antennagate. The bomb was dropped by a high-ranked carrier executive who publicly promised his company would have an improved handset on sale by the end of September.

Mexican carrier Telcel announced the arrival of iPhone 4 to the country this past Friday and their director of value added services Marco Quatorze told Spanish-language site CanalMX that Telcel, which is the biggest carrier in Mexico, will at first sell the existing iPhone 4 version offered elsewhere, the one with the known antenna deficiency.

A bit later, beginning on September 30th, Telcel will carry “a new device” without the reception malfunction. It’s unclear why the carrier would want to sell the “flawed” iPhone 4 and replace it with a newer model less than a month later. Apparently, those who buy the familiar iPhone 4 model from Friday, September 3 onwards, will be given an option to switch to a revised model, he said.

Christian’s Opinion

Take this information with a grain of salt because it’s based on Google’s translation of the original article and we don’t know whether Quatorze acted on the rumors or if he relayed the actual insider information. Speaking of which, September 30 chimes in with the expiration of Apple’s free bumpers program that Jobs announced at the iPhone 4 presser.

Apple’s boss told the gathered media that the offer will be valid for every iPhone 4 purchased through September 30, adding this:

We’ll re-examine this in September and decide whether to keep going or maybe we’ll have a better idea.

It would appear Apple already had a better solution in mind back then. Otherwise, Jobs would have never dropped a casual hint of a “better idea.”

Mexican carrier claims new iPhone 4 for October

Apple could still be planning a hardware replacement program for the iPhone 4 according to new rumours that have surfaced in Mexico.

At the Q&A of the Apple Antennagate press conference, Steve Jobs detailed how the company would be giving away a free bumper to everyone that has bought or buys an iPhone 4, up until 30 September, and that when questioned later said that Apple would “re-examine this in September and decide whether to keep going, or maybe we will have a better idea”.

Well fast forward a couple of months and CanalMX, a Mexican based tech site, is quoting an executive at Mexican carrier Telcel as telling them that Apple will release a revised version of the iPhone 4 by the end of September to address the highly-publicized antenna issue.

According to Marco Quatorze – Telcel’s director of Value Added Services – through the wonders of Google Translation, the iPhone 4 sold currently in Mexico will at first be the same hardware as that sold in the US as you would expect. However Quatorze then, according to the site, detailed that a new device that does not have the “malfunction of the reception” would be introduced.

Whether or not Quatorze would be privy to such information is unsure, or it might be that Google’s translation tool has led to a misunderstanding of the report, however as we questioned back at the Antennagate press conference, you have to wonder why the 30 September date as been set and why Steve Jobs, the company’s CEO, was so evasive in answering the question at the time.

And you thought those Apple Antennagate stories where over and done with.

Nokia X6 review

by admin under Nokia
The Nokia X6 is the latest Symbian-based music phone

The Nokia X6 is the latest Symbian-based music phone

the Nokia X6 has now been updated to include a 16GB version, which strips the Comes with Music offering and is available at a lower price too.

The persistence of manufacturers when it comes to touchscreen mobile phones has to be applauded.

It might be that only a few – notably HTC, Apple and Palm – have really cracked the marriage of hardware and software – but that hasn’t stopped everyone else attempting to achieve the same success. Nokia’s own efforts have been hit and miss.

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic isn’t without its good points, but all of Nokia’s touchscreen phones so far have had resistive screens.

Among other things, that means they all came with old-fashioned styluses, and didn’t work properly when you touched the screen with more than one finger. That meant reduced typing speeds, and user gestures that are so intuitive on other phones – pinching to zoom on the iPhone, for instance – were unavailable.
Nokia has heard its customers’ complaints.
The X6 looks like a traditional slider phone – at 13.8mm thick it certainly looks like it could accommodate a physical keyboard. However, there are hardly any buttons to be found as the 3.2-inch touchscreen is capacitive, theoretically making a physical keyboard redundant.

There is a wealth of features besides. A whopping 32GB/16GB of internal storage and an FM radio make it tempting for entertainment even before you consider Nokia’s intriguing Comes With Music service.

Even the camera has received the kind of attention you don’t see on cheaper models – a 5MP sensor behind Carl Zeiss optics gives the X6 plenty of sheen.

There is a wealth of features besides. A whopping 32GB/16GB of internal storage and an FM radio make it tempting for entertainment even before you consider Nokia’s intriguing Comes With Music service.

Even the camera has received the kind of attention you don’t see on cheaper models – a 5MP sensor behind Carl Zeiss optics gives the X6 plenty of sheen.

Nokia X6: Interface

Anyone who’s used a Nokia phone in the last few years will know what to expect from Symbian S60 5th Edition.

Being touchscreen only and (thankfully) stylus-free, all the on-screen buttons are sensibly-sized for fingertips, and the screen itself is excellent.

With its 3.5-inch diagonal, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s bigger than the iPhone’s 3.2-inch screen, but the reality is that the different aspect ratio – 16:9 to the iPhone’s 1.5:1 – means you actually get more real estate on Apple’s phone or the HTC Hero, with which the iPhone shares screen size and resolution.

However, the Nokia X6 is higher resolution than either, with its 640 x 360 display. Presumably with its tongue in its cheek, Nokia describes the display as HD, but you shouldn’t be fooled into thinking you can shoehorn an actual HD video onto it.

Accurate screen

The screen may not be huge, but it’s certainly bright. Photos and videos look great on the glossy screen, and the sensor works well, adjusting the screen’s brightness depending on your surroundings.

It’s also highly accurate when it comes to fingertip commands, although it seems a shame that Nokia hasn’t fully used the capacitive screen – pinch to zoom, such a natural-feeling gesture on other phones – is absent.

To zoom you need to double tap the screen. The X6 also gives a little buzz of haptic feedback every time you touch the screen, which helps indicate you’ve tapped successfully if you can’t see the button behind your finger.

With the screen the primary way of making the X6 do things, there are only a few other buttons. Dial and hang-up buttons bookend the main menu button, while the right-hand edge hosts a volume control, shutter release, and a sliding switch that locks and unlocks the phone.

There’s an almost unnoticeable extra touch-sensitive button in the top right of the screen, which when tapped produces a small menu giving you quick access to your photos, music, videos and the internet.

The interface isn’t without its quirks, though. For instance, some menu selections are made with a single press of the finger. Others require a press of the finger to highlight an option, and a second tap to activate it. This inconsistency means it can be difficult to tell when the X6 is working on launching an application, or silently waiting for you to confirm a choice.

And you’ll see it working to launch an application a lot. We encountered numerous performance problems with our review unit.

After syncing a calendar, contact and message set with it, launching contacts from the front page took an age, while other applications often launched impressively fast. It’s another inconsistency that can make the X6 frustrating to use. The 434MHz processor should be able to keep up.

Nokia’s Ovi store is included, and allows you to install applications and games, although we remain underwhelmed by the breadth of the store’s offerings. More usefully the service offers calendar and email utilities for those who don’t have them.

Nokia X6: Calls, messaging and internet

Calling

There are far more interesting things to do with the X6 than simply call people, but fortunately the actual dialling interface is straightforward to use and we had no problems with call quality. Likewise, the bundled earphones are reasonable, and for those who don’t like them, the 3.5mm headphone jack on the top of the phone is a definite bonus.

Messaging

The high resolution screen might be perfect for watching the odd video and looking at pictures, but the one area that it makes life difficult is creating messages. With the phone held upright (aka in portrait mode) you’re presented with a predictive text T9 numeric keypad.

This is all well and good if you’re coming from another candybar style phone, but frequent emailers will prefer the full QWERTY keyboard that’s presented when you hold the phone sideways.

Accuracy is definitely good – the capacitive touchscreen means you don’t need to lift your finger off the screen before placing another one down, and you’ll reach much higher speeds on this touchscreen than on any of Nokia’s previous efforts.

Indeed, with a bit of practice it’s easy to reach almost the same speed on the X6 as on a phone with a physical keyboard. The on-board dictionary isn’t as clever as that of the iPhone’s so you need to be a little more careful when typing, but overall it works well.

The only drawback to the keyboard is the relatively narrow screen – the 16:9 aspect ratio and relatively high resolution might make the X6 excellent for watching films, but it means there’s less space for the keys and messaging window. It can all feel a little cramped, particularly in the first few days.

Internet

It’s no surprise that the browser offers the “full” internet, attempting to render pages the same as on a desktop PC. It generally works well – the accelerometer is reliable when it comes to flipping pages, and being prompted to save user names and passwords each time you enter them on a new site is handy.

Again, however, we noticed a few performance constraints. On large pages with several pictures – or worse, busy Flash elements – the browser would often freeze, leaving us unable to drag the page around or even enter a new address.

We never needed to reset the phone – the hang-up button was normally enough to take us back to the main menu – but it’s annoying that the X6 offers functions it doesn’t seem fast enough to perform properly.

Nokia X6: Camera

The 5MP camera is very good indeed. A pair of LEDs allow you to snap pictures in low light, and our test images show good detail resolution and a high degree of colour accuracy.

Nokia X6: Media and misc features

The X6 syncs nicely with Windows Media Player, and we had no trouble transferring a few DivX files without needing to view the phone’s folder structure manually, and the same goes for music.

The Nokia X6 32GB version also gives you unlimited access to tunes for a year through the Comes with Music – you can either connect to a PC and transfer tracks over, or switch to 3G and Wi-Fi to download them directly to the phone.

The Nokia X6 16GB version chops off this CwM functionality – at half the internal storage it’s no slouc

Flipping between music tracks was fine; swapping out of the video interface proved trickier – the X6′s performance foibles rose to the forefront again here.

There are some interesting other features. The Playlist DJ gives you four sliders, representing happiness, love, anger and tranquillity, and the idea is you slide them around depending on your mood to generate a playlist to suit you.

Profiling songs can take a while and requires an internet connection, and takes longer if your music isn’t named correctly. The system itself is somewhat hit and miss.

Telling the X6 we were in the mood for some downbeat music resulted in a playlist which contained (correctly) a smattering of AIM tracks and a few Death Cab for Cutie songs, but also included the distinctly un-chilled Whatz Ya Phone Number by 2pac.

Battery life

The 1,320mAh battery in the Nokia was dependable while we had the phone. We made a few phone calls, browsed the internet via Wi-Fi, and watched a few videos, and the X6 lasted around 30 hours away from the charger, which is wholly respectable.

Nokia claims a GSM standby time of up to 17 days, which is impressive, although the sheer number of features offered by the X6 means you’re unlikely to leave it alone if you find yourself with a quiet moment. The claimed music playback time of 35 hours is iPod touch-beating.

Organiser

The X6 is compatible with Nokia’s ActiveSync application, which gives you access to an Exchange server (and Google Apps), allowing you to use your calendar, contacts and email in the X6′s native applications. Frustratingly, the calendar doesn’t have a shortcut on the X6′s home screen, although this default can be changed in the phone’s settings menu.

Otherwise, the X6′s default applications are rather thin on the ground. There’s no stopwatch included by default, and our review unit didn’t even come with a trial version of Quickoffice, giving you no easy way to open Word documents received as attachments, for instance.

Connectivity

Nokia’s good PC Suite software is compatible with the X6, and offers a handy way of syncing local information such as calendar appointments and emails. And, if you’d rather not use Media Player to sync music and video, PC Suite gives you the option, as well as transcoding content it doesn’t think will work on your phone.

Nokia X6: Verdict


The Nokia X6 looks better on paper than it is in real life. The capacitive screen and 32GB of internal memory should ensure that it’s great for multimedia, while the flexible Symbian operating system allows plenty of flexibility.

It’s undeniably nicely made, and certain crucial features, such as typing messages, work better on this device than they have on any other Nokia touchscreen phone. However, we encountered performance issues every day we used the X6.

Sometimes they appeared where no performance issues had existed before and vanished just as fast – an unpredictability just as frustrating as the sluggish speed.

We liked:

The screen is superb, and the internet browser, which allows you to view desktop pages as their designers intended, works well. Typing messages – finally – works well on the screen, and frequent texters will have no problems reaching supersonic speeds.

The keyboard is excellent. It’s a good media phone as well. There’s masses of storage, which is handy for those who have a lengthy commute and want something to keep them entertained, and features such as the Playlist DJ, while flawed, are enjoyable additions.

We disliked:

Our chief problem with the X6 is its performance. We were often left guessing whether our key press had been recognised, and sometimes tapping a button again resulted in unpredictable behaviour.

We experienced performance slowdowns in most areas, but particularly when viewing large web pages, loading a stuffed contacts book, and watching videos.

The extra second or so occasionally encountered between tapping an icon and anything happening is frustrating. The way the interface occasionally requires a double tap can also be annoying, at least while you’re still learning the ropes.

The screen, although bright and sharp, feels a little tight at times. Widescreen videos, for instance, often feel like they could use an extra half inch vertically.

And while we like the on-screen keyboard, broadly speaking, there’s no denying that the keys feel a little on the small side, while the built-in dictionary is often not quite clever enough considering the slightly higher error rate on a virtual keyboard.

iphone 4 Multitasking

by admin under Apple, iphone 4

iPhone 4 introduces a whole new way of multitasking. Now you can run your favorite third-party apps — and switch between them instantly — without slowing down the performance of the foreground app or draining the battery unnecessarily.1 This smarter approach to multitasking is available only on iPhone.

Multitasking Done the right way

Now you can run your favorite third-party apps — and switch between them instantly — without slowing down the performance of the foreground app or draining the battery unnecessarily.* This smarter approach to multitasking is available only on iPhone.

Switch between apps quickly.

The multitasking user interface allows you to quickly switch between recently used apps. Just double-click the Home button to reveal your recently used apps. Scroll right to see more apps, then tap one to reopen it. No need to wait for the app to reload.

And pick up right where you left off.

Apps can remember where you left off. So when you return to the app, you can jump right back into playing your game, reading the news, finding a restaurant, or whatever you were doing.

Listen to audio in the background.

Now you can listen to audio from compatible third-party apps while checking email, surfing the web, playing games, and performing other tasks. So when you want to follow a ball game or listen to music from Pandora, your productivity never skips a beat.

Get VoIP calls while using other apps.

Third-party apps such as Skype let you make voice calls over the Internet. Multitasking in iPhone 4 makes it possible to receive these Skype or VoIP calls while other apps are running, even when your iPhone is locked. And during a call, you can keep the conversation going while you switch to another task, such as checking a movie listing or reading an email.

Keep GPS apps running.

Apps that use GPS can continue to run in the background. Not only do they constantly update your position, they can also give you spoken turn-by-turn directions even as you listen to music (the music volume lowers while the directions are spoken). It’s perfect for social networking apps, too. Now you and your friends can find each other even when you’re not actively using the app.

iPhone 4 review

by admin under Apple, iphone 4

iphone 4 arrives June 24. Pre-order your today.

Apple iphone 4 features

iphone 4.In so many ways, it’s a first.

While everyone else was busy trying to keep up with iPhone, we were busy creating amazing new features that make iPhone more powerful, easier to use, and more indispensable than ever. The result is iPhone 4. The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone.


Facetime Phone calls like you’ve never seen before.
People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. iPhone 4 makes it a reality. With the tap of a button, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. No other phone makes staying in touch this much fun.

One-tap simple.

FaceTime works right out of the box — no need to set up a special account or screen name. And using FaceTime is as easy as it gets. Let’s say you want to start a video call with your best friend. Just find her entry in your Contacts and tap the FaceTime button. Or maybe you’re already on a voice call with her and you want to switch to video. Just tap the FaceTime button on the Phone screen. Either way, an invitation pops up on her iPhone 4 screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, the video call begins. It’s all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape modes.

Two cameras made for video calling

iPhone 4 has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back next to the LED flash. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime. It has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm’s length. So it always presents you in the best possible light.

Share what you see with the back camera

Imagine your sister is away at school and can’t make it to your son’s birthday. So you’re cheering her up with a FaceTime call. As the cupcakes come out, your son’s eyes light up, and you just have to share it. Tap a button, and before you can say, “Make a wish,” iPhone 4 switches to the back camera, and to the birthday boy’s big moment. Another tap switches back to the front camera and to you.

Samsung Seek M350 Phone, Scarlet (Sprint)

LG KP500 Cookie Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera

by admin under LG

Designed to allow more people to experience a taste of touch technology at an attractive price, the LG KP500 Cookie is packed full of advanced features usually found exclusively in premium full touchscreen handsets. Its easily accessible multimedia features–available through widgets as well as shortcut icons–provide a fun and easy mobile experience with a single touch of its 3.0-inch screen. It comes with a stylus that tucks away in the back of the phone and features easy-to-use handwriting recognition.

You’ll be able to capture still photos and video clips on the go thanks to the 3.2-megapixel camera, as well as enjoy advanced gaming thanks to the touchscreen and the Cookie’s motion sensor technology. Other features include Bluetooth connectivity for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion, digital audio player, stereo FM with RDS capabilities, access to personal email with a document viewer, and up to 3.5 hours of talk time.

Unlocked Phone
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.

Phone Features
The Cookie’s large 3.0-inch touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels, 256K colors) provides an optimized interface for all forms of multimedia content, and its auto rotating display automatically shifts from narrow to wide mode and vice versa according to the contents and your position. The large screen size and excellent color depth make it ideal for watching movies, taking pictures, browsing the Internet, and creating and editing drawings and documents. The Home screen menu from LG’s Flash user interface (UI) provides quick access to your calendar, alarm clock and digital audio player. The optimized QWERTY keyboard, which automatically comes out when the screen is in wide display mode, enables fast and easy input for email and text-messaging.

With the Cookie’s handwriting recognition, you can write and draw on messages or background pictures taken with the phone’s camera, as well as send text messages without even using the virtual keyboard. It’s also great for realistic gameplay thanks to the embedded motion sensor technology, which recognizes your hand movements and reflects them in the game itself

The Cookie includes a small 48 MB internal memory, which can be expanded via optional MicroSD memory cards up to 8 GB in size. The internal phonebook can store up to 1000 contact entries (each with 15 fields for storing multiple numbers, email addresses, IM handles, and more), as well as up to 500 text messages, 500 memos, and 500 to-do items. It also features support for caller groups and picture/ringer ID, display of the 40 most recent dialed/received/missed calls, and compatibility with both MP3 and polyphonic (64-chord) ringtones.

This phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity–version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)–which makes pairing with the included headset as well as other Bluetooth devices a snap. And with the embedded A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones or other compatible devices.

The 3.2-megapixel camera offers six resolution options (320×240 / 400×240 / 640×480 / 1280×960 / 1600×1200 / 2048×1536) as well as a 2x digital zoom. Other features include night mode capabilities for low-light situations, white balance and brightness adjustments, continuous shot capabilities (3, 6, or 9), three quality options, color effects, a self-timer, and in-phone image editing. In addition to still photos, the Cookie can capture video clips in two resolution options (176×144 / 320×240, 12 fps).

The digital media player offers wide compatibility for audio (MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, RA) and video (MPEG4/H.263), and it features equalizer pre-sets (Classic, jazz, Pop, Rock, Concert hall). It also includes a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations).

Key features:

  • 3″ 256K-color TFT touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels)
  • Quad-band GSM support
  • 3-megapixel fixed-focus camera
  • Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
  • 50MB internal memory
  • Hot-swappable microSD card slot (supports cards with a capacity of up to 16 GB)
  • Accelerometer for automatic screen rotate
  • Virtual QWERTY keyboard
  • FM radio with RDS
  • Interface widgets
  • Multi-tasking with a real task manager
  • Excellent touch optimized image gallery
  • Handwriting
  • Smart Dialing
  • Office document viewer (no PowerPoint)
  • Simple but stylish design
  • Relatively low price

The affordably priced LG Cookie offers user-friendly touchscreen technology, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth stereo music, and MicroSD memory expansion.

Major disadvantages:

  • No 3G support
  • No Wi-Fi
  • Video recording QVGA @ 12fps is not good
  • Camera has no autofocus and flash
  • No DivX/Xvid support
  • No standard 3.5 mm audio jack

Have by the way, provided LG ensure that the glass is full of cookies of different icing. The KP500 comes in black, brown, silver and gold. Recently published and exclusively in Orange, LG KP 501 is the same cookie (with minor changes to the road) in two new color schemes: pink and silver (black is also available). Well, cookies pour on the market in all shapes and flavors, but we want to see what they have to do.
