HTC P3400i PDA phone targets entry-level smartphone users

Recently, HTC revealed a new PDA phone - P3400i. The device runs Windows Mobile 6 and only a year ago would be worth enough talking about. Now, once the Diamond has been revealed, I'm having a problem finding any good words to describe it. To be fair, the P3400i is completely different beast than the Diamond. It targets entry-level smartphone users and as such it provides a solid value for the money.

The so called "affordable business PDA" sports a 2.8-inch touchscreen, quad-band GSM/GPRS radio, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity support. An array of Microsoft software is pre-installed to help users be more productive, and media playback capabilities ensure that the P3400i owners will also be/stay entertained while on-the-go.

The HTC P3400i should be available at the end of May at all authorized resellers at a suggested retail price of $488.

Nokia will allow N-Gage games to be used on multiple devices

Well, talk about nipping controversy in the bud. Just a couple days after Nokia enthusiasts started to get all riled up over having their Nokia N-Gage games locked to a single handset, Nokia has up and announced that they'll make sure that N-Gage games can be transferred between multiple handsets.

Nokia previously said that N-Gage titles are tied to the handset through which they were purchased:

“N-Gage activation codes only work on the device where they were first activated. As with any digital media there is a potential risk of piracy and this policy is one of the ways Nokia is dealing with piracy and ensuring partners receive their rightful revenues from its platform. If users need to repair their device, the activation codes will be reissued. Also, if you purchase a new N-Gage compatible device, you will need to purchase your games again.”

But, with Nokia fans up in arms over being forced to re-buy games for new handsets, Nokia has flipped an about face and backpedaled on their previous statement. The games can be transferred through customer service in the near-term, but rest assured that Nokia is working on a long-term solution to make sure that N-Gage customers can play their purchased game titles on multiple mobile phones.

Here's what Nokia has to say about transferring N-Gage games:

"We have noticed a number of media stories about N-Gage game transfers and wanted to clarify the issue. Due to copy protection, N-Gage games, like most mobile games, are linked to one device. As the value of content increases, a robust copy protection mechanism is essential as it makes it possible for the games industry to invest in N-Gage content.

We acknowledge our customers' concerns and have been working on a solution that would allow people to transfer purchased N-Gage games to a new Nokia device. We are working with our Nokia Care Centers with an intermediate solution to enable the licensed transfers of games until a final solution is ready to be deployed.

We apologise for the confusion around this issue and look forward to delivering an appropriate solution to transfer purchased N-Gage games to new Nokia devices."

It's not clear when, exactly, Nokia will be allowing users to transfer their games, but it shouldn't take too long.

Christian Dior debuts $5,000 mobile phone - Dior cellphone aims at luxury market

Christian Dior has been rumored to be working on a mobile phone for some time, and following on recent speculation the Christian Dior-branded handset could make its debut soon, the Dior phone has gone live. With a $5,000 price tag, we can't imagine anyone outside the comfortable walls of high society will be grabbing a Dior phone anytime soon.

But, for those of you living the Gossip Girl lifestyle, Dior will happily hand over a cellphone to complement your undoubtedly stylish threads. Made by ModeLabs, the $5,000 Dior cellphone sports a touchscreen display and camera. But, more interestingly Dior has included something called "My Dior" with their new handset. The "My Dior" is essentially a USB flash drive-sized mini-cellphone/remote that is meant to be clipped to the outside of a purse. The idea is to make answering phone calls simple and hassle-free using "My Dior," with the main handset standing by to handle more complicated phone-related duties - like SMS text messaging and taking pictures.

Hey, if $5,000 doesn't faze your petty cash fund, you might want to hit up Dior and grab your own Dior phone. You know your self-esteem will appreciate it…

iPhone Vista Perfection theme rocks, some will hate it

This is a tricky one. I'm sure many of the iPhone owners won't even consider getting something with "Vista" word on their beloved device, like ever. However, I must say they should consider this beautiful theme…

VistaPerfection is a Summerboard compatible theme, created by Spec Works. Features include over 90 icons, boot and restore images, sliders and vista login/logoff (unlock/lock). The screenshot on the left is there to help you realize just how cool this is. Yeah, you may hate the Windows logo and I can understand that, but the icons are gorgeous.

The problem, though, at least for those interested to try out the theme, is that at the moment it isn't available via Installer.app. Rather, you'll have to manually go through series of steps in order to make your iPhone feel the power of Vista (start hating me here, please). If you're that confident in your abilities to do so, or just want to give it shot, hop over to ModMyiPhone forums for detailed instructions. Good luck!

Sony Ericsson announce the T303 mobile

Sony Ericsson has announced their latest handset release, the T303. We can know a little about this handset from the detail we posted here other day. Although the T Series is not listed we can determine that the 303 is the first model of the series, fairly low end spec, slider format. And that’s exactly how the T303 pans out.

The Sony Ericsson T303 is tiny, measuring in at just 83 x 47 x 14.7 mm and weighing in at 93g. It incorporates a 1.3 megapixel camera, making it the ideal phone for a night out where you will want some fun snaps but nothing serious. In fact, Sony Ericsson are marketing the phone as something you will take with you when you can’t take everything.

The T303 is also enabled with an FM radio, so you can keep up to date with all the latest news and your favourite radio station while on the move. There is also space in the tiny handset for an MP3 Player and the excellent Track ID service. For those that have not used Track ID, it allows you to record a snippet of a song from the radio or similar and send that to the Sony Ericsson database online. Within seconds the song will be tagged and information sent back to the phone, including song title, artist name and album.

The Sony Ericsson T303 will release in two colour variants, Shimmering Silver and Shadow Black. Keep an eye on our Mobile Phones Coming Soon page for more details as we get them.

Nokia 3600 Slide - noise cancelling mobile phone

The Nokia 3600 Slide offers a combination of tasteful colours, materials and tactile finishes, with a full range of the latest features. The use of soft ceramic paint and metal combined with high gloss surfaces and gradated colours make the 3600 stand out from the crowd. Beautiful to see and beautiful to touch the Nokia 3600 is equally beautiful to hear thanks to the inclusion of background noise cancellation, the first Nokia handset to support this feature.

The Nokia 3600 has a built in music player, and with the option to have up to 4GB of storage space with the addition of a micro SD memory card, meaning you will be able to store up to 3,000 songs with this mobile phone. The 3600 feels small in the hand, but is not small on features, including such top end options as a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, and a 2 LED flash, similar to that which will be used on the N96. This allows for the light to also be used when video recording. The Nokia 3600 also includes a TV-out option, making the sharing of photos and videos quick and easy.

As a utility service, I think GPS/Sat Nav is great - however, I believe, as do many others in the industy, that the real power of it is harnessed when it is twinned with other mobile-unique services to create service-mashups such as geotagging photos (and other media).

Samsung F400 music mobile

The focus of the Samsung F400 is music. First appearances suggest nothing special about this mp3 music phone, but underneath the standard looking exterior is a powerful music player.

The F400 has a two way slide action, similar to that made popular by the Nokia N95 and N95 8GB. Sliding the phone up reveals a 15 key alpha numeric keypad. Slide the phone down to reveal loudspeakers for the music player. The loudspeakers on the Samsung f400 are made using Bang & Olufsen ICEpower technology. Consequently the sound output from these speakers is of the highest quality, and much better than the usual tinny sound you get from many phone speakers.

The music player itself recognises many music formats; as well as MP3 there is support for AAC, eAAC and WMA formats. Another feature for music lovers to enjoy is the inclusion of a music recognition feature. Simply record a snippet of song on the phone and it will be able to give you full track details, including artist name, song and album details. With support for Bluetooth 2.0 you will be able to listen to your favourite songs wirelessly with a compatible Bluetooth headset. With the inclusion of an FM radio you will never be without the latest music tracks on your phone.

The F400 from Samsung is about more than just music, though. It includes a 3.0 megapixel camera, with video recording capability. Memory on the phone is 24MB, but this can easily be expanded with the addition of a micro SD memory card, offering plenty of space for songs and pictures.

Another feature is the inclusion of HSDPA mobile broadband, offering high speed connectivity for data transfers. HSDPA builds upon the speeds offered by 3G networks, and offers a noticeable difference to the end user. Browsing the web and reading email can now be achieved quickly and simply. The F400 has a good sized QVGA resolution screen, which renders websites clearly and brightly.

The Samsung F400 is due for launch soon. If you wish to register your interest in this handset, please register here and we will email you when we have a confirmed release date.

Asus M930 Review

The Asus M930 is one chunky smartphone, but there is a good reason for its size and weight. From first glance, it looks like an old-fashioned mobile phone. It is large in the pocket and the hand, and the front fascia has a screen and number pad, just like other bar phones. However, turn it sideways and lift a hinge, and it opens up clamshell style to reveal a second inner screen and a full keyboard − think of Nokia’s very popular E90 and you’ll get the idea.

The internal screen looks lost in its wide surroundings, and because it only manages 240x400 pixels, it doesn’t give you a great deal more viewing area than you’d get from an ordinary Windows Mobile Professional smartphone.

The keyboard could be a little wider, but it’s on a par with what you’d expect from other Windows Mobile devices, such as the E-TEN range. There is even space for a navigation button, and Call and End keys.
