HTC One X Codes

HTC One X

When HTC launched the HTC One X at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, U.S. consumers were very disappointed to hear that the version of the device heading to AT&T in the U.S. would have to give up its quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor in order to gain LTE support.

It turns out, though, that NVIDIA's LTE woes worked out in the U.S. market's favor - and in a big way. The dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor that is in the AT&T One X is flat out better. It's faster in most all benchmarks, runs cooler, and offers better battery life.


Wipe away those tears, geek-boy. This One X is even better than the European version I reviewed a short while ago, which pretty much makes it the best high-end smartphone available on the market today. Or May 6, when AT&T makes it available for purchase for $199.99.

Check out the video below comparing the AT&T HTC One X (also known as the One XL in global markets) with the original HTC One X for Europe for more proof.

Nokia Astound

Nokia Astound (T-Mobile USA) Symbian^3 smartphone review

Nokia Astound

The Nokia Astound is T-Mobile's version of the Nokia C7 Symbian^3 smartphone that is available in other parts of the world. It shares many similarities with the C7, including identical hardware. Some software tweaks have been added to Symbian^3 that are designed to enhance the users' experience, though. We did a full review of the C7 for European markets already, so we will be focusing on the tweaks and differences that T-Mobile has added to the Astound.

Hardware

The hardware remains the same as the C7: solid construction with nice materials and a good fit and finish. T-Mobile offers the Astound in a white and silver color scheme as opposed to the other options that are available worldwide. Some might not be fans of the color,
but we found it to be an attractive device nonetheless. The chrome bezel that surrounds the screen is reminiscent of the iPhone 3G and 3GS design, and we suspect that it will get quite beat up looking after some months of wear and tear.

The screen is the same 3.5-inch capacitive AMOLED unit with nHD (640 x 360 pixel) resolution as found on the C7. Colors are bright and the resolution is sharp enough as long as you are not looking too closely at it. Viewing angles are very good as well. The only issue we had with the screen was its performance in direct sunlight, where it can become very washed out and difficult to read.
The Astound also maintains the 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera of the C7. The rear camera still does not have autofocus, which we find to be a huge detriment. The extended depth of field lens can take acceptable pictures outdoors, however indoor subjects can prove troublesome. The dual-LED flash had a tendency to blow out the images harshly, not to mention that anything within a couple feet of the lens would be severely out of focus. Face-tracking is included and works as expected, maintaining a lock on our subjects faces quickly and accurately. The rear camera is also capable of recording 720p (1280 x 720 pixel) video at 25 frames per second. The quality of the video was ok, but the 25 fps frame rate will hold back capturing fast action. As far as the 1.3 megapixel front camera goes, the quality was not great and Nokia and T-Mobile did not package any software with the Astound to use the camera for video calling. At this point, it seems like it is a very "me-too" feature.

Call Quality

Call quality was very good with the Astound. Callers were able to hear us loud and clear and we could likewise understand them just as easily. T-Mobile has added its Wi-Fi Calling functionality to the Astound, which allows users to connect to their personal Wi-Fi network and use that to route calls over the internet as opposed to using a cellular signal. It is not a separate VoIP service, though, as your plans minutes will still be used while utilizing Wi-Fi Calling. Using the Wi-Fi Calling feature was seamless once we connected the phone to our Wi-Fi network and enable the option. Call quality was not noticeably different than when using the 3G network, but we imagine that it will be a very useful function for those whose homes or offices do not have a strong T-Mobile signal.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 taking on the Kindle Fire

Samsung Galaxy Tab

Summary

Until Amazon's Kindle Fire hit the market late last year, no Android-powered tablet had made even the smallest of impacts on the marketplace. With its $199.99 price tag and customized user interface, the Kindle Fire was a real success.

Samsung is now aiming to grab a significant piece of that success by building its own low-cost Android tablet. The catch is that Samsung's new entry, the Galaxy Tab
2 7.0, looks anything but low-cost. In fact, it features a much better spec sheet than the Kindle Fire, and uses the same streamlined body design as its more expensive brethren.

With a price of $249.99 for the Wi-Fi-only model, the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is an instant best buy. And when you consider that it is one of the few devices on the market to offer Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as its operating system, it's even more of a steal.

How To Hide Mobile Data

HIDE DATA IN MOBILE PHONE WITHOUT ANY SOFTWARE

Hide Mobile Phone Memory Card Data

This trick can be used for any JAVA phone from Nokia,Samsung,Motorola,LG or any other company.
JUST FOLLOW SIMPLE STEPS

1. Create any new folder or you can use any existing folder that is to be hidden.
2. Rename the folder to any name but with the extension of .jad like if I want to hide my images folder then I will name it as IMG.jad
3. Now create a new folder with the same name in the same directory but with the extension of .jar So, I would create the folder with the name IMG.jar
4. And thats it!! My orignal images folder which has been renamed with .jad gets hidden and only folder with.jar extension is visible which is empty.So,my data is protected/hidden from unwanted eyes.

To unhide the orignal folder you have to remove the .jar extension from the new folder and your orignal folder with all the files and with .jad will become visible.

Functional Siri Without A Proxy Server

Functional Siri Without A Proxy Server or 4S Keys With AssistantServer Installer

Fully Functional Siri

Do you want siri on your older device but don’t want to pay up to $30 for a proxy server? Well then you should try “Assistant Server Installer”. It only costs $0.99 on the MacCiti repo (a default repo unless you deleted it). 

AssistantServer Installer uses Google‘s speech to text feature to detect what you are saying and then give a response. This isn’t the full siri and doesn’t have as many features but is still a really good alternative.

Setting it up: 

1. Install Spire from cydia.

2. Enter the following address in the Spire settings: http://127.0.0.1:4443

3. Purchase and install AssistantServer Installer from the MacCiti repo.

4. Go to settings>SiriServer and enter your API keys or use the links at the bottom to get some

(The first 3 are the most important). Then tap the “Update API keys” button.

5. Enable Siri in Settings>General>Siri.
6. Set the language to either English (US) or German. The other ones don’t work at the moment.
7. Go back to the SiriServer settings and tap “Start Server” to enable the siri server.

8. Use siri!
9. If the siri doesn’t work at this point then go back to siri settings, disable siri, then go back to SiriServer settings and tap “Remove Assistant plist”. Then enable siri and it should work (do this until it works).

Remember to tap “Update Server” every few days to get the latest version of the siri server from GitHub.

This tweak doesn’t support all of siri’s features but it will work with all siri addons on cydia. The great thing with this is that it also works with siri’s dictation feature (works with all languages).

Overall this is a great alternative to siri and at $0.99 theres no doubt in my mind that you should buy it. But keeping the server running all the time may wear the battery down faster so if you want to avoid this issue then you can get a better version of the google API server here or buy access to a siri proxy server that will support all of siri’s features here.

Name: AssistantServer Installer
Price: $0.99
Repo: ZodTTD & MacCiti
Developer: sygex
My rating: 4.5/5

How To Jailbreak iOS 5.1.1 Using Redsn0w Version 0.9.10b8 (Tethered)

How To Jailbreak iOS 5.1.1

As most of you will know iOS 5.1.1 was released by Apple today (7th May 2012) and a lot of you have been waiting for the jailbreak. Well the dev teams popular jailbreak tool, redsn0w, works with iOS 5.1.1.

Dev Team Blog Post: http://bit.ly/HWw3GL
NOTES:

- This is a tethered jailbreak

- This works with iOS 5.1.1 and 5.1 (both are tethered)

LG Optimus Elite smartphone

Sprint has announced the LG Optimus Elite, the latest smartphone from the carrier to feature eco-friendly design and construction. The Optimus Elite is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone with a 3.5-inch display and support for Sprint's 3G network.

The Optimus Elite is an entry-level smartphone, and it has the price and specs to match. It's powered by a single-core 800MHz processor and has a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, but lacks a front-facing camera. The Optimus Elite does have NFC capabilities, and it supports the Google Wallet mobile payment service out of the box.


As with Sprint's other eco-friendly smartphones, the Optimus Elite is constructed of 50 percent recycled plastics, is free from hazardous materials like PVC, phthalates, halogens, and mercury, and comes in fully recyclable packaging printed with soy inks.

The LG Optimus Elite will be available from Sprint on April 22 for $29.99 with a new two-year contract. Buyers will be able to choose between white or silver versions. It will also be available from Sprint's pre-paid Virgin Mobile brand in the near future, but pricing and an exact release date have not yet been announced for the Virgin Mobile edition.

BlackBerry Curve 9320

BlackBerry Curve 9320

RIM has taken the wraps off of the BlackBerry Curve 9320, a new entry-level BlackBerry 7.1 device.
The BlackBerry Curve 9320 looks very similar to earlier Curve smartphones, as it has a 2.44-inch QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) display situated above a QWERTY keyboard. The new hardware feature is a dedicated button on the left side of the device that launches RIM's BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) app for quick access to messaging services. RIM says this button makes it "incredibly easy for users to stay socially-connected."

Other specs include a 3.2 megapixel EDoF fixed-focus camera with LED flash and video recording capabilities,
a 1450mAh battery with a 7 hour expected talk time or 18 days of standby, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, and 512MB of internal storage. The Curve 9320 measures 109mm x 60mm x 12.7mm (4.29in x 2.36in x 0.5in) and weighs 103g (3.63oz).

The latest Curve smartphone also comes with BlackBerry 7.1 OS installed out of the box and support for Wi-Fi calling and mobile hotspot features. RIM has not yet announced pricing or availability for the new phone, but both T-Mobile UK and Three UK have announced that they will be ranging the phone for both prepaid and postpaid plans.

Sprint, HTC announce the EVO 4G LTE with 4.7-inch 720p display, HD Voice

Sprint EVO 4G LTE

Sprint and HTC have just announced the EVO 4G LTE, the latest in Sprint's line of EVO Android smartphones. Like the HTC One X for AT&T that it shares much with, the EVO 4G LTE has a 4.7-inch, 720p HD display and 4G LTE support.

The EVO 4G LTE pretty much looks like a One X that has been "Sprint-ified," with its black finish and red accents. However, unlike the One X, which features a polycarbonate unibody, the EVO 4G LTE's rear is broken up by the flip-out kickstand. Unfortunately, the two piece metal and plastic body still does not provide access to the phone's internal battery, though it does offer access to a microSD card slot.
The battery itself is a large 2000mAh unit, but Sprint has not provided estimated talk or standby times for it.
Fortunately, the beautiful, 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 pixel Super LCD display that we loved so much on the One X is present, and the EVO 4G LTE also retains the 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera. The camera features a bright, f/2.0 aperture lens and backlit illuminated sensor for superior low light capabilities. The EVO 4G LTE also, unsurprisingly, has Beats Audio integration, a first for a Sprint device.
Powering the EVO 4G LTE is Qualcomm's dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. It is paired with 1GB of RAM and the EVO 4G LTE's 16GB of internal storage.

The EVO 4G LTE is the first smartphone in Sprint's lineup to support the carrier's new HD Voice service that promises to offer fuller, richer sounding voice calls with diminished background noise.
As with the other One series smartphones from HTC, the EVO 4G LTE runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC's new Sense 4.0 interface. Sense 4.0 offers an advanced camera interface that allows users to take full resolution pictures while recording full 1080p video. The HTC EVO 4G LTE will be available sometime in the second quarter for $199.99 with a new two-year contract. Anxious customers will be able to place a pre-order starting May 7.

Sony Xperia sola smartphone

Sony Xperia sola

Sony has taken the wraps off of the sola, the latest smartphone in its Xperia line. From the outside, the Xperia sola appears to be your run-of-the-mill slab-style Android smartphone, but Sony was able to pack some new technology into the touchscreen that is designed to make it easier to navigate the web.
This new technology is called "floating touch," and it allows a user to hover their finger over the display to move what is akin to an invisible mouse cursor and then merely tap the screen once the desired link is highlighted. The sola is the first smartphone to use this new tech, but Sony says that it plans to bring it to other models in the future. The screen itself is a 3.7-inch, Reality Display powered by Sony's Mobile Bravia Engine with 854 x 480 pixels of resolution.

The sola is powered by a dual-core, 1GHz processor and it includes support for NFC, DLNA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. There is a 5 megapixel rear camera with 720p HD video recording,
though the sola appears to lack a front-facing camera. The phone measures 116mm x 59mm x 9.9mm (4.56in x 2.32in x 0.39in) and weighs 107g (3.77oz). Sony says that it will get about 5 hours of talk time or just under 20 days of standby with its included 1,320mAh battery.

The Xperia sola will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sony's custom user interface when it launches. Sony says that an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is in the works for a summer 2012 release.
Sony plans to offer the Xperia sola in black, red, and white color options, and will launch it globally in Q2 of this year. Pricing information has yet to be announced. For a closer look, check out the videos below that show of the Xperia sola's new floating touch technology.

Upcoming Nokia Moible Phone 2012

^{The Nokia 808 PureView is a Symbian Belle powered smartphone}

Upcoming Nokia Moible Phone 2012

<sup>First unveiled on 27 February 2012 at the Mobile World Congress. It is the first smartphone to feature 41 megapixel oversampling 1/1.2" sensor and a high resolution f/2.4 Zeiss all-aspherical 1-group lens. See examples.[1]

The 808 won the award for "Best New Mobile Handset, Device or Tablet" at Mobile World Congress 2012[2], and the award for Best Imaging Innovation for 2012 from the Technical Image Press Association[3].

The 808 will be first released in select countries in May 2012.[4] [5]</sup>

^{Pureview Pro camera} 

^{PureView Pro is an imaging technology used in the Nokia 808 PureView device. It is the combination of a 1/1.2" large,[6] very high resolution 41Mpix with high performance Carl Zeiss optics. The large sensor enables pixel oversampling, which means the combination of many pixels into one better pixel. PureView imaging technology delivers high image quality, lossless zoom, and improved low light performance (see below). It dispenses with the usual scaling/interpolation model of digital zoom used in virtually all smartphones, as well as optical zoom used in most digital cameras, where a series of lens elements moves back and forth to vary the magnification and field of view. Instead, it will give around 3x lossless zoom for stills, and 4x zoom in full HD 1080p, for 720p HD video, 6x lossless zoom and for nHD (640x360) video, 12x zoom.}

^{PureView Pro specifications}

^{Sensor: 41 megapixel CMOS image sensor, 1/1.2" image sensor format with 7728 x 5368 pixels, pixel size: 1.4 microns.
    Lens: Carl Zeiss optics with F-number: f/2.4. Focal length: 8.02mm: 35mm equivalent focal length: 26mm @ 16:9 and 28mm @ 4:3. Construction: 5 elements in 1 group. All lens surfaces are aspherical, partly extreme aspheric,[7] one high refractive index, low-dispersion glass mould lens.
    Focus range: 15 cm – Infinity (throughout the zoom range).
    Shutter: Mechanical shutter with short shutter lag[8] and ND8 (3 f-stops) neutral density filter
    Processing: On-chip image processor performing image scaling with oversampling, giving lossless (digital) zoom: 3x for stills, 4x for full HD 1080p video with on-chip video processor performing image resolution processing with over 1 billion pixels per second[8] enabling the use of all pixels for improved image noise and dynamic range}

^{Image sensor}

<sup>PureView Pro sensor has an active area of 7728 x 5368 pixels, totalling over 41Mpix. Depending on the aspect ratio chosen by the user, it will use 7728 x 4354 pixels for 16:9 images/videos, or 7152 x 5368 pixels for 4:3 images/videos. What happens next depends on the settings and whether or not zoom is used. But to give an idea, the default still image setting is 5Mpix at 16:9, and for video, 1080p at 30fps. Using these settings, the zoom is around 3x for stills and 4x for video. Conventional digital zoom tends to scale up images from a relatively low resolution, resulting in poor image quality.

The image sensor is capable not only of delivering parts of its pixels, but of down- or oversampling its resolution by having its own on-chip image processor, highly reducing external processing needs and data rates as well as image noise (see noise shaping) when lower resolutions (or HD video) are needed. Additionally this provides very high image resolution. Images up to 38 megapixels can be taken at full resolution at 4:3 aspect ratio and 34 megapixels at 16:9 ratio. The PureView is a pixel oversampling technology used by Nokia that converts an image taken at full resolution into 3, 5 or 8 megapixels to reduce noise in the image.[9][10]</sup>

^Lens

<sup>The optic is a 1-group lens, which is based on a shiftable fixed-focus lens: similar to the highly regarded prime lenses in most Zeiss Planar or Tessar optics, focus is achieved by varying the distance to the image sensor (unit focusing lens). This construction has the advantage that no movable focus group is needed. Considerable movable (focus-range) lens groups need a minimum of one additional adaptive lens element in both the moved group and the stationary group, increasing the number of elements by at least two. This increases unwanted reflections as well as overall tolerances and therefore decreases sharpness.

A 1-group lens has a fixed aperture, further increasing the freedom of lens element arrangement and allowing the designer to optimize the lens to only one f-stop. The lens consists of only 1 group of elements, which gives a highly stable, precise mechanical alignment. The lenses are partly made of plastic, which provides sufficient stability at this size and as a 1-group lens and has the significant advantage of making it possible to use extreme aspheric shaped lens elements.[7]

5 all-aspherical lens elements are used, making it possible to increase border-sharpness and lower distortion and astigmatism. The high refractive index, low-dispersion glass additionally helps reduce chromatic aberrations. A neutral density filter with approximately ND8 (3 f-stops) is employed for shooting in high light levels where normally a smaller aperture would be set. Although the lens is named a Vario-Tessar, it has almost nothing in common with the 4 element in 3 group, non-aspherical original Tessar.

Due to the comparatively large image sensor format of 1/1.2" and the comparatively fast lens with f/2.4, the camera has a quite shallow depth of field of equivalent to approximately f/7.8 at 26mm[11] on full-frame 35mm full-frame.</sup>

^Zoom

^{Zoom is digital but retains a high resolution due to the 41Mp sensor. The limit of the zoom is reached when the selected output resolution becomes the same as the input resolution. That means once the area of the sensor reaches 3072 x 1728, the zoom limit is reached. So the zoom is always provides the true image resolution the user wants. The level of pixel oversampling is highest when zoom is not used. It gradually decreases until the maximum zoom is hit, where there is no oversampling. At this stage, PureView Pro optics and pixels start behaving in a more conventional way. But because only the centre of the optics is used, the best optical performance is achieved – including low distortion, no vignetting and highest levels of resolved detail. This also means that at full digital zoom, the noise reduction achieved by oversampling (pixel binning) is lost as no oversampling happens at full zoom.}

^Autofocus

^{PureView Pro features continuous auto focus in all shooting modes, close-up (Macro) focus, Face detection, Touch focus with easy manually selected focus point and Hyperfocal distance focus for defined depth of field, for extreme focus speed or when no reliable focus is possible due to darkness.}

^Video

^{The on-chip oversampling image processor of PureView Pro enables oversampling of all 38Mega-pixels even at the high video data rates of 1080p with 30 fps. Full HD 1080p gives 4x zoom; 720p HD video, 6x lossless zoom; and for nHD (640x360) video, 12x zoom. In addition, encoding is up to 25Mbps in 1080p H.264/MPEG-4 HD video format. The PureView Pro sensor integrates a special video processor that handles pixel scaling before sending the required number to the main image processor.}

^Audio

^{The 808 PureView employs Dolby Headphone software to transform stereo content to surround via 3.5mm A/V jack. It also includes Dolby Digital Plus software to provide 5.1 surround sound via HDMI or DLNA. The dual softwares from Dolby are embedded into the Nokia Belle feature pack 1 OS.
The 808 PureView is the first device to include the Nokia Rich Recording technology and has a frequency range between 25 Hz to around 19 KHz. The 808 PureView can capture sounds at the loudness level of 145 decibels without distortion. The two microphones, located at the top and the bottom enable stereo recording. The audio encoding is done in AAC high profile, 256 kbps, 48000 Hz.}

Samsung intros Omnia M Windows Phone smartphone for Europe

Samsung  Omnia M

Following the unveil of the Focus 2 earlier this week, Samsung has outed the Omnia M, another Windows Phone 7.5 smartphone. Headed to European markets, the Omnia M is an entry-level model, but it is still equipped with a Super AMOLED display.
The Omnia M's 4-inch Super AMOLED display features the standard WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) resolution that all Windows Phone devices have. Under the hood, the Omnia M has a 1GHz processor and 384MB of RAM and a 1500mAh battery that supplies the juice. Around back is a 5 megapixel camera, while a VGA camera up front handles video call duties. The phone itself measures 121.6mm x 64.1mm x 10.5mm and weighs 119g.

The Omnia M runs Windows Phone 7.5 and comes with all of the services that one would expect from Windows Phone. It also has Samsung's ChatON and Family Story apps pre-installed. Since the Omnia M only has 384MB of RAM, it is one of the new low-end Windows Phone devices that run the "Tango" version of the OS.
Samsung plans to launch the Omnia M in Europe first, then roll it out to other regions at a later time. An exact launch date was not announced.

Nokia E6 adds touchscreen to QWERTY bar Eseries

Nokia E6

Among the things announced at Nokia's press event today was the brand new Nokia E6. The E6 is a candybar style phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.46-inch touchscreen display. Nokia plans to modernize its business oriented smartphone lineup starting with the E6.
Composed of glass and stainless steel, the E6 builds on the heritage of Nokia's business smartphones such as the E71 and E72. The E6 measures 115.5mm x 59mm (4.5in x 2.3in) and is a svelte 10.5mm (0.4in) thick. It weighs a solid 133g (4.7oz). The highlight of the show is the full QWERTY keyboard lifted right off the older models and the new 2.46-inch touchscreen display.
The screen has a VGA resolution with 640 x 480 pixels, which should provide a very sharp picture at that screen size.
For media capture, the E6 sports an 8 megapixel, autofocus camera with dual-LED flash. It is capable of recording 720p HD video (1280 x 720 pixel) at 25 frames per second. There appears to be a front-facing camera as well. The E6 also has a Wi-Fi radio that supports 802.11b/g/n wireless connections, and the phone supports Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS, too. A 3.5 mm headphone jack supports both audio in and out and video output to a TV. The E6's 1500mAh battery is expected to offer up to 7.5 hours of talk time on 3G, or 31 days of standby time.
Running the whole show on the E6 is Nokia's newly announced version of Symbian called Anna. Anna will bring an updated, modernized look to Symbian with new icons, a refreshed user interface, improved web browsing, better text input, and an enhanced Ovi Maps application with better search and public transit routes. Symbian Anna will also add business oriented features such as hardware accelerated data encryption and full meeting request support.
The Nokia E6 supports 3G voice and data on any of 5 different frequency bands, including those used by T-Mobile USA and AT&T. It also supports quad-band GSM/EDGE 2G networks.
The Nokia E6 is expected to hit the market in the second quarter of 2011 at a to-be-announced price. It will be available in black, white, or silver color schemes. Take a look at the video below highlighting the features of the E6 by Nokia. Price in USD: $322

Nokia E7 business Symbian^3 smartphone

Summary

The Nokia E7 is a new smartphone from Nokia with a 4-inch touchscreen display and slide out QWERTY keyboard. However, whilst the hardware certainly looks and feels the part, the Symbian^3 OS feels a little sluggish and outdated when compared to its rivals.
The E7 comes packed with goodies, though, including GPS, Wi-Fi, and free navigation courtesy of Ovi Maps, but we found its 8 megapixel camera to be a let down. As a device aimed more at business users, the E7 comes pre-installed with a Premium version of Quickoffice,
and F-Secure anti-theft software, plus the E7 can output presentations and videos via its HDMI port.
To spice things up a bit, the E7 is available in a range of different colors, and comes with 16GB of built-in storage for all your media content. Overall, it sounds like a great package, but we found it to be quite tricky and tedious at times, often being slow to respond or just hanging for no reason, which it often did within the web browser. Read on for our full analysis.

Nokia 500 is the first 1GHz smartphone to come out of Espoo

Despite all of its talk of Windows Phone, Nokia is still cranking out Symbian-powered smartphones, and the 500 is the latest handset to come out of the Finnish company's labs. Sporting a familiar slab design, the 500 is the first Nokia smartphone equipped with a 1GHz processor.
The 500 looks similar to the previously announced N9, though it has a smaller 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with a 640 x 360 pixel resolution. Nokia is positioning the 500
as a lower-cost alternative to the N9, and has equipped it with interchangeable back covers for easy personalization. The back houses a 5 megapixel camera with video capture.
Accompanying the 500's 1GHz processor is 2GB of internal storage and support for microSD cards up to 32GB in size. The 500 runs the latest Symbian OS, Anna, and includes Nokia Maps, social network integration, internet radio services, and an FM radio. It has pentaband HSPA 3G support on the 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz bands, so it has global appeal. The battery is an 1110mAh unit that provides up to 7 hours of talk time or 19 days of standby. The 500 measures 111.3mm x 53.8mm x 14.1mm (4.4in x 2.1in x 0.6in), and weighs 93g (3.28oz), the lightest of any Symbian^3 smartphone to date.
Nokia will be releasing a black version of the 500 in Q3 of this year, with a white version to follow in Q4. Both versions come with three different colored back plates in the box. Nokia expects the 500 to retail for just 150 EUR (US$216) before any taxes or subsidies when it hits the market. Take a look at the two videos below to see the 500 in action.

Nokia launches the 700 with Symbian Belle, says its the smallest smartphone in the world

To go along with the announcement of the new Symbian Belle operating system, Nokia has launched some new smartphones that make use of it. The Nokia 700 is said to be the smallest slate-style smartphone on the market, yet it still has some of the higher-end specs that one would expect to see on a larger smartphone.
The diminutive 700 measures only 110mm x 50.7mm x 9.7mm (4.3in x 2in x 0.38in) and weighs a scant 96g (3.39oz). It is powered by a 1GHz processor and has GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi support, plus an FM radio. It has a 5 megapixel "full focus" camera with LED flash and 720p (1280 x 720 pixel)
HD video capture, and comes equipped with 2GB of internal memory to store your images. You can expand the memory with microSD cards up to 32GB in capacity. The Nokia 700 sports a pentaband cellular radio, and its 1080mAh battery is claimed to offer 7 hours of talk time or over 19 days of standby time.
The 3.2-inch display on the 700 is a ClearBlack AMOLED unit, with nHD (360 x 640 pixel) resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass. The 700 also features deep NFC capabilities, thanks to the Symbian Belle operating system. Nokia claims that the 700 is the greenest smartphone that it has produced to date, as it is free of PVC, RFR, and BFR, and is 100 percent recyclable.
The Nokia 700 will come in cool grey, silver/white, coral red, peacock blue, and purple color options, and will arrive in the third quarter. It is expected to retail for 270 EUR (US$390).
