The phone you’re looking at right now – Nokia N87 – is considered to be the successor of the N86 cameraphone and there is a good chance that it’s the last of its kind.
A 12 megapixel camera, xenon flash, 28mm Carl Zeiss camera lens and the old-school Symbian S60 3rd edition ticking inside the classic-looking body – you have to admit those things just don’t seem like a good fit nowadays.
iOS 4.2 has already launched for all supported devices. One of its coolest new features is the free access to the previously paid Find My iPhone service. Unfortunately this applies only for iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G.
Well, there is a way to activate it on your older iDevice. You just need an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod Touch 4G and a few spare minutes.
I am an Xbox 360 owner and I admit I would never buy a Kinect controller. I don’t like the games or the idea of making funny moves in front of my TV to play them.
But also I have a Windows 7-based PC connected to that TV. And I can be easily lured to buy a Kinect to do Si-Fi stuff on my computer while I’m sitting on my couch.
Motorola DEFY comes by our office to prove us a phone can be both tough AND smarty. The Eclair-running DEFY is water, dust and shock resistant in addition to its sexy looks and performing skills.
Remember the problems Samsung Focus caused when you try to use a new card in its “hot-swappable” slot? Well, the things have finally started to make sense. The cards can’t be read on any other device not because they’re dead, but because they are secured on a deep system level.
An inventive USA teenager has found a way to import to the US lots of original white iPhone 4 panels from Foxconn. He is now selling the complete white conversion kit for 280 US dollars. It’s not cheap, but that’s because it comes with the Retina display included (glued to the front panel) plus you will be one of the very few showing off with original white iPhone 4 – that’s worth something on its own, right?. Just don’t hesitate too long, the guy may soon end up in jail.
According to a recent market research Samsung is cutting the production of Galaxy Tab in half due to weak sales. Apparently Samsung may not fulfill its plan for selling 6 million Galaxy tablets after all. And I can totally get that having in mind the steep price in some regions.
As you may know Samsung Focus is the only Windows Phone 7-powered phone that officially supports user-exchangeable microSD cards. It’s the exception of the Microsoft’s basic requirements, which strictly forbid any kind of expandable storage.
It seems Microsoft did this for a reason, because the microSD slot on the Samsung Focus may become its big disadvantage instead of a key selling factor.
The best way to spend the weekend is with some friends and a barbeque. But to make it even more fun use a 10 US dollars BBQ and 1900 US dollars stakes – T-Mobile G2, iPhone 4 and HTC Surround. The result – empty credit cards, questionable Surround winner and angry internet users.
Rovio has unleashed a new bird and a whole new level board for the Android version of the Angry Birds. The fourth level package is the same as the latest one on the iPhone – it’s called The Big Setup and offers 45 new levels and a few golden eggs.
NVidia is launching its latest DirectX11 graphic monster – the GeForce GTX 580. It packs 512 CUDA cores, 1.5GB GDDR5 memory and is up to 35% better performer than its predecessor, the GTX 480.
Another Windows Phone 7 running device is proven guilty of using hidden microSD slot with embedded card instead of integrated flash memory. HTC Mozart’s storage turns out to be an 8GB microSD SanDisk Class 4 card.
In case you want to upgrade it, you’ll first need to tear down the whole phone and then do some software tricks to make it work.
Yesterday’s Samsung Android event in USA was about Verizon’s exclusive Samsung Continuum. Lots of people were rooting for a Nexus Two announcement, but it seems this won’t happen in a while.
Samsung Continuum is the dual-screen Galaxy S we’ve already met in October and is a Verizon exclusive. It packs a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED screen plus 1.8-inch Super AMOLED ticker status display with four capacitive buttons between them. All this occupies the front.
Ever since the announcement of Windows Phone 7 OS, there was always that nagging question – will the recent (back then!) HTC HD2 will be able to upgrade and run it. Official position was that the HD2 won’t be upgraded to the new OS but it seems the dev community has not been slacking.
The good guys from over the XDA Developers camp already ported Android OS to the HD2 and now, here comes Windows Phone 7. Welcome!
According to Sony Ericsson its crown jewel XPERIA X10 doesn’t sport the hardware needed for performing multi-touch gestures on the XPERIA X10. That’s why there’s no sign of pinch zooming in the Android 2.1 Eclair update despite that the smartphone has a nice capacitive screen.
Fortunately, some developers over at XDA didn’t buy that story and went on a quest for enabling multi-touch support on the Sony Ericsson flagship. And frankly, they’ve succeeded.
