Nokia 800/Sea Ray/Ace : First Images Appears

With the Nokia World Event just a few weeks away,all eyes are on Nokia as its expected to unveil its first Windows Phone or lets say Phones.There were a lot of images circling around the internet which appears to be Nokia's Sea Ray,which is expected to be named as Nokia 800,although some evidence suggests it might be released as Lumia & the names doesn't seem to stop.Other name includes,Sun,Sabre,Pheonix,Ace etc & the list is almost endless.Having said that I wouldn't me surprised if Nokia rolls out 2 or more SmartPhones during the event.
                                                         Sometimes the Ad's can reveal a lot what the manufactures can't.From what I can concur,it seems that Nokia is planning to promote Nokia 800 as a companion for life's everyday adventures just like your spouse.This is actually contradicting the very first ad during the which had conveyed the message that the next generation SmartPhone aims at reducing the amount of time involved fiddling with it.Confusing as hell.Well lets let Nokia clear our queries with the event just weeks away.

Motorla Admiral XT603 SmartPhone For Sprint Gets Leaked

Motorola's latest smartPhone,the Admiral XT603 for Sprint has apparently being leaked and it comes with a military certification,hence the name Admiral.This smartPhone comes with a 4 row QWERTY but unlike DROID Pro,its a bit unattractive and also its awkward to hold the phone due to its bulky top & tapering bottom like a tear-drop design.The Admiral is Sprint's upcoming Direct Connect compatible device.
                                                The Admiral runs on Motorola's propriety UI formerly called as MotoBlur,along with 1.2GHz single-core QualComm MSM8655 CPU,Android V2.3 codenamed GingerBread,3.1Inch VGA touchscreen,a Rear 5 MegaPixel Camera with a mediocre 720p video recording & a 1,860mAh Li-Ion battery.Any Takers?

 With Verizon LTE all set to receive the Samsung Stratosphere,a new critical documents were leaked which implies that the new Samsung 4G device might have an October 13 release date.Although there are still some serious doubts regarding the CPU manufacturer of the 1GHz phone,the 4 inch Super AMOLED WVGA display,QWERTY phone will feature a rear 5 MegaPixel Camera & a 1.3 MegePixel in the front.Comes with a 4GB flash memory with support for 4GB microSD slot.Even with the leaked details,the price is still unavailable and is expected to feature in the mid $ 100's but since its a 4G device we just might never know the price tag unless revealed by Verizon itself.My money is on a 2 year contract with $ 150 as the price tag.You can view the user manual from here.

Motorola EX225 and EX226 Slips Invisibly through FCC like nobody's watching

 The FCC tests results have come for Motorola EX225 and EX226 which reveal support for AT & T 3G bands where as Motorola EX225 supports dual sprectrum,which means Motorola EX225will support 850/1900MHZ where as Motorola EX226 can couple with only 850MHz. The shame doesn't end there, either, as the Facebook version supports 802.11n, whereas its sibling does not.What amazes is me is that No one is keeping tabs on this new Moto phone which makes me wonder,they don't care?

Major Security Vulnerabilities Discovered On HTC Android Mobile Phones

Android mobiles are currently witnessing a wave of security Issues one by one.After Samsung/AT & T lockscreen issue,the recent one on the list belongs to HTC.Analysts have narrowed the bug down to two possibilities that either there is a vulnerability in the Android's platform or a malware Infected App was packed allow with the mobile phone.The devices which seem to be riddled with the security flaw includes:EVO 4G, EVO 3D,Thunderbolt, MyTouch 4G Slide ,EVO Shift 4G.With the bug appearing in current as well as previous installments of HTC phone,it can be ascertained that the bug will probably appear in Vigor, sensation models & anyother which are to be shipped with the same Apps or the operating ssystem.
                                                               Although,it is 90 % sure that the fault actually lies with HTC rather than Google's Android,the Taiwanese giant is expected to make a few Update releases in the coming days.To make things worse,it has been discovered that HTC's logging tools have been secretly collecting & sending mission critical data to unknown service,although what has been transferred is still a mystery.The Android police claim the data transpired to be anything from GPS location,phone log history, Sms history,system logs,encoded messages to name a few.
                                                               Although it might seem that the applications which request internet access in Android phone via android.permission.INTERNET cannot possible be malevolent or bad,the fault might actually lie with HTC's HtcLoggers.apk.There are two ways to solve this issue:
  • Either delete the /system/add/HtcLoggers.apk Or
  • Pray to god that HTC releases a fix for it.

Seven(7) Most Influential Mobile Phones In the Last Decade

 October 1st marked the 10th year anniversary of 3G launch by Japanese Carrier DoCoMo in Tokyo.This new technology revolutionized the technology by attaining Heralds of higher speed & capabilities which includes real-time video calling/conference or sending/receiving emails with upto 10,000 characters.Ten years since the technological release lets take a look @ some of the most influential phones which really stood out from the rest as the Best of best.If anyone concurs that the list if missing any mobile which must occupied its mark,kindly post your comments:

1)Danger Hiptop/T-Mobile SideKick:
  Launched in 2002,the Hip-top was aimed at creating mass hysteria among the younger generation.Packed with a Qwerty keyboard & a very big screen,the phone came with a very user-friendly interface and easy messaging features.The phone became an instant hit especially after rapper Jay-Z's video "Excuse Me Miss".Ten years since its inception,the brand is still continued as one of the best.


2)Motorola's Razr:
This beast is rightfully claimed as one the best selling clamshell handset of all time with incredible Chassis & sleek features Motorola's Iconic RAZR had a state of the art Keypad with a more than convenient flip with brilliant sound effect.This phone probably featured the most in TV shows/Hollywood movies than anyother yet.With its design considered still a unique masterpiece,its a pity that Morotola had to shutdown its mobility centre & hand over the keys to Google.

3)Nokia 95:
Nokia 95 was probably the most influential Superphone.Smartphone @ the time of its release which boasted with a sensational 5 MegaPixel camera,GPS navigation,Web browser,Office suite,N-gage gaming.Nokia branded with the slogan "It's what Computers have become",which is clearly summarizes its capabilities and was the undisputed champ of the mobile industry during the 2007 stage.
4
)BlackBerry Curve:
  BlackBerry Curve established RIM's Corner stone in the mobile market & revealed just what it is capable of.The brilliant Qwerty features along with  top of the line camera,this Phone became an entrepreneur's & business men Specialty.Packed with better Os & email support,this phone was greeted with more than just positive reviews from the mass.Even now the BlackBerry still holds its brand name as one of the most innovative mobile developers in the market.

5)Apple Iphone:
  Apple's very first mobile with Itunes was the ROKR phone in association with Motorola in 2005.Due to the abysmal performance of the ROKR apple decided to go forward and create its very own phone without any limitations.One of the drawback of ROKR was the implementation of Itunes in it,with only upto 100 songs download feature.Since then Apple released some of the most beautiful PDA driven phones which truly boasts its capabilities not only in the Mac but also mobile industry.With Apple's Iphone 5 release happening tommorow,all eyes will be on the Giant to deliver the next generation phones in the coming years.

6)HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1:
Considered to be very first Android based Mobile,HTC dream was considered as a worthy contender & alternative option to Iphone when Nokia/Samsung/Lg were going through a really dry season.The open Handset & Alliance's fresh Android OS gave the users a beautiful & rich experience,the kind which was a rare scenario at that time.Eventhough G1 wasn't a huge hit, it marked the entry of HTC into the Android market by giving it a headstart and marked Google's real intentions regarding Android.

7)Motorola Droid:
Droid was probably the first  success Android based mobile phone had in U.S and was launched by Verizon to go up against Apple's beast the Iphone(based on OsX).At a time when Android versions are out-selling Apple's Iphone 2:1,Droid was praised for its sleeky & glossy appearance although it never went to become a mile-stone in the mobile market.Still,it was probably the Droid advertisement campaign which sparked the arrival of Android Phone and created an uproar leading to more & more users craving for the Android based Phones.

Nokia Searay Images For T-Mobile Germany Allegedly leaked In Nokia Blog:

Nokia's very own blog revealed a glimpse of what might be the image of Nokia Searay mobile for T-mobile Germany with a very short description scribbled in German.Once translated it can be interpreted as:
                                      "Drive safely to your destination with Nokia - including 3D. Representation and voice navigation Windows Mobile 7.5 (Mango) operating system. 3.7" brilliant domed AMOLED display."
                                                          The phone which is almost identical to Nokia's N9 mobile,which also had its share of fake images & mis-leading articles which might question this article as well.But having said that,it can't be ditched either.Also Nokia making poll among users in order to find the appropriate name for its upcoming Windows 7 Phone,which received maximum votes for names like Ace,Pheonix 7Genesis so the phone might actually be named after the poll winner &  it would be weird if the phone is actually gonna be named Searay.Well everything will be sorted out by the year end hopefully.
