I was what you could call a late bloomer when it comes to the brand HTC. Even my dad beat me to it which is (considering my intrests) pretty amazing. He actually bought one before I knew about them. The HTC touch is a newer model though.

Some people see the HTC touch as a alternative to iPhone, and in some ways I agree. It’s like the slightly less good PC/Windows version of iPhone, and I think it suits its consumers well. I mean… I would probably never buy it since I consider myself a Mac person, thus would I never pay to use a PC/windows based product. But HTC touch intrigues a broad portion of todays market. After all most people still use Windows and PCs. For this segment of the market this phone is ideal. The HTC touch could probably make my dad drool, but Im not that impressed. But I shouldnt be putting down HTC, because its really not their fault. I will probably never buy a HTC and that’s that, its not because they don’t make good phones… it’s because they make wrong phones.

If you want more information about the actual product (and not my jibberish) check out Testfreaks.com they have loads of info on HTC touch.

This sweet creation is truly beautiful. The headset is called BH-101 and it first appeared on the SEMA convention in Las Vegas this year 2008. The speak time is said to be 8 hours, and the standby time is at remarkable 180 hours. The model will be released before christmas and will cost approximately 30 euros.

Sony Ericsson launch one awesome cell phone after the other… and Nokia seem to be clueless. A couple of years ago it was the other way around. Ericsson made phones that looked aweful and Nokia recognized the need to combine design and function.

It’s now 2007, and it seems like  Nokia has fallen in the same trap as Ericsson… or maybe not. Most companies today are aware of the importance of good design. Ericsson used to focus on the technical stuff and ignore the design. Well that was until a couple of years ago when they realized they had large parts of their market share to competitors. Ever since Ericsson and Sony joined forces, they’ve launched one beautiful creation after the other. But what happend to Nokia?? Sure, I admit that they do try… but somehow they fail in the end. I believe that Nokia needs to find their own style. In my opinion Sony Ericsson have found their, like Apple has found their… And Nokia is more or less like LG they just try to take other designs and change it into their own. But it doesn’t fit… it rarely does, it feels forced and fake.
Maybe Nokia should get a new design department, cause they sure as h**** dont make me want to  buy their products.

The swedish site Prylfeber.se wrote today about the new Cybershot cell phone from  Sony Ericsson, but the guys at Prylfeber aren’t that impressed saying that “…not much is new”.

The K770 uses a 3.2 mega pixel camera and has GPRS and 3G. Even though much is what you could expect, I at least thought the design was delicious. Apparently the only differance between the K770 and the K810 is the design and the fact that it’s thinner and weight less.

Found this cool Mobile phone on Shiny Shiny. The model is a mobile TV phone with QVGA screen displaying TV, video conferencing and it displays movies in 262,000 colours.

Shiny Shiny had some positive comments about the model: “…the my805v offers literally every phone function I can think of. As well as TV through Vodaphone’s live TV service, the phone has a 2 mega pixel camera for stills, VGA camera for video recording and conferencing, built-in MP3 player, internet browsing, gaming, Bluetooth, and 16MB of memory built in with a microSD card slot for more. The mirrored front screen displays caller ID, track playing, message indicator and time, and the whole lot is packed into a shiny blue wonder of technology that, at least on paper, is all you’ll ever need.”

Sagem Communication

Sony Ericsson has developed a phone that basically just sends text messages and handles phone calls. The Z250 is a simple phone for the not so demanding consumer. It has a camera but only with 0,3 megapixel, making it more or less a joke in comparison to other models on the market. The screen has a 128 x 160 px resolution.
It’s supposed to be launched in the third quarter. The price is yet unknown, but is expected to be low because of the scarcity of functions.

Engadget writes that iPhone will be released June 29th according to their source.

“The commercial just aired on 60 Minutes, and now you can finally mark your calendar and get on with your life — for the next 25 days or so, until you get in line for your spankin’ new $600 iPhone (provided you’re still willing to undergo that ugly but required two year service agreement).”

The big question for me however is when it’ll appear in the stores in Europe. I heard some rumours a long time ago that it might hit the market in november or december, but I hope that’s BS.

This model really looks like a JUST a MP3-player but is in fact a mobile phone too. The Haier Elegance is now available in UK. The dimensions measures 9.1cm x 3.5cm x 1.8cm, and it only weights 64g. In this model you have a FM radio, MP3 player, Bluetooth 1.2 w/ wireless stereo support, 128 MB internal memory, and a removable microSD memory. The 3 hour talktime is not that impressive though. On the other hand what can you expect when they’ve trimmed down the batteries this much.

Callbox ProCall Pro makes it possible to make Skype calls from your PC, land line phone or mobile phone. You can also recieve calls from Skype on any of the above listed appliances. So this model pretty much integrate all your phone calls, which makes life easier.
The model also has a built-in voicemail function. If you are interested you should check out the full list of features.

Just read a post about Nokia N75 on Gizmodo saying that the model is going to be priced at a little more than $300. The N75 is going to hit the AT&T soon but the rumour about the price is not confirmed. It’s a beautiful mobile phone, something I might have bought if I wasn’t so determined to buy the iPhone when it comes.
