LG Prada II specs and details - New LG Prada II with 5 megapixel camera

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:45:09 +0000

You mean fashion-forward handsets like the LG Prada KE850 can’t get by on looks and designer label alone?

Even traditionally feature-lacking luxury phones like those from Nokia’s luxury arm, Vertu, are starting to adopt current-generation technology in their super-expensive handsets. And, in keeping with this trend, it looks like LG is working on a successor to their LG KE850 Prada phone.

The LG Prada II, as it’s apparently going to be called, will reportedly sport a 5 megapixel camera and HSDPA 3G connectivity on the coveted 850Mhz band. That’s all good news for feature-hungry fashionistas out there, but will it be enough to compete with the iPhone 3G and its unmatched UI?

We’ll have to wait and see how the LG Prada II fares against the iPhone 3G and the HTC Touch Pro… and the HTC Dream G1… and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1… you get the point.

LG Prada II specs:

Quad-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band HSDPA (850MHz/2100MHz)
950mAh battery
240×400 3.0? screen
5 megapixel autofocus camera with flash and VGA recording
Bluetooth 2.1
Wi-Fi b,g
Infineon MP-EH + M180 chipset
Motion sensor
FM Radio
104.5 x 54 x 16.8 mm

LG Prada II Specifications Leaked

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:09:33 +0000

LG has more or less finished their sequel to the Prada, unimaginatively known as the Prada II. This model will come with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard in addition to the following specifications (something we lacked in our earlier post) :-

Quad-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band HSDPA (850MHz/2100MHz) 950mAh battery 240×400 3.0? screen 5 megapixel autofocus camera with flash and VGA recording Bluetooth 2.1 connectivityWi-Fi connectivityInfineon MP-EH + M180 chipset Motion sensor FM radio

Hopefully the operating system is something worth using, as the iPhone has already proven - hardware specifications aren’t as important as the user experience and ease-of-use, just take a look at the DS Lite.

Zune Contact Concept

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:09:20 +0000

Adam Huffman has dreamt of the Zune Contact concept, hoping to see Microsoft go head-to-head with Apple in the phone arena sometime down the road. I’m not too sure whether that is worth the investment from the software giant, but it would be an interesting battle, that’s for sure. Hopefully the dud that is the Zune won’t be repeated in the Zune Contact, as this concept comes with a revamped user interface, a super slim body, a 5 megapixel camera and a full touch screen display - no idea if it supports multi-touch or not though. What do you think Microsoft needs to do to make an iPhone killer?

Alternatives to the iPhone!

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:32:49 +0000

The iPhone seems to be the sexy choice for the new touch screen smart phone market, but there are alternatives to the iPhone. AT&T along with Mac started this new trend by revolutionizing cell phones. Not to be outdone Verizon, Sprint and other major carries have come out with their own phones to act as alternatives to the iPhone. The Samsung Instinct on the Sprint network is the first one that comes to mind. This phone seems to be the closest to the iPhone as far as popularity goes. Features include voice activated navigation, easy web browsing and a plan that costs $100 for unlimited everything. That means unlimited talk, web, text–everything! That is a very popular feature that the iPhone does not offer.

Next you may think of the LG Dare, exclusive through the Verizon network. This phone is unique because it has a sensor in it that tells if you are holding it vertically or horizontally. A true standout feature with this phone is the 3.2 megapixel camera, which is amongst the best for camera phones.

BlackBerry is even on the verge of releasing the BlackBerry “Thunder” or it could be known as the Blackberry 9500 when it becomes available to the public. When this phone hits the market it will simply add to the amount of phones that could act as alternatives to the iPhone. The new BlackBerry will sport a hybrid CDMA/EV-DO. It may even come with a 4G LTE component. Verizon and Vondaphone stand to be the exclusive carriers of this impressive looking phone.

Rest assured that there will only be more and more alternatives showing up on the market. Cell phones have seen a new day and the iPhone had the largest contribution to this trend. Just like the Motorola StarTac was the first created the flip phone. A trend that saw a near end to standard phones that were, at the time, the only game in town. Boy how times have changed.

Nokia N96 review - about as good as it looks

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:14:12 +0000

The Nokia N96 has been highly anticipated as the Nokia N95 successor and new heir to the Nseries throne. With that sexy, glossy-black finish, under-lit keys, mobile TV, and fantastic optics, the Nokia N96 is the new king-of-the-ring when it comes to Espoos Nseries lineup.

We’ve already seen the Nokia N96 from all angles and subjective perspectives. For some, the addition of mobile TV and a refreshed design aesthetic isn’t enough to justify the jump from the Nokia N95. For others, the sleek new look combined with the improved build-quality and more precise sliding mechanism is enough to upgrade to the Nokia N96.

But, that doesn’t mean we can’t stand to see more Nokia N96 reviews. AllAboutSymbian has posted an “first impressions” review of the Nokia N96 that lauds the newly-minted Nseries flagship as having good build quality (as I mentioned from my hands-on time with the N96), solid slide mechanism, and affinity for fingerprints.

The camera shutter button was noted as being a bit stiff, although that’s more likely a personal perspective. I found the pre-production unit to have a well-balanced shutter button.

And, as expected from the Carl Zeiss optics used in the Nokia N96’s camera, the picture quality is top-notch (as you can see from the sample picture to the left).

Head on over to AllAboutSymbian for the down-low.
