New 8.1 megapixels mobile phone...

On my previous blog, Motorola released a phone that has a 5.1 megapixel camera and I was thinking that Sony Erickson is still on the process of conceptualizing if they will release a new camera phone. Hey, what do you know, they already released a camera phone that will knock out the Motorola ZN5. It's the Sony Ericsson's C905 and here it is,

No surprises here, but at least Sony Ericsson's C905 Cyber-shot is now official. As a camera, we're talking Xenon flash, face detection, image stabilization and 8.1 megapixels crammed into a tiny sensor of unspecified make or dimensions. As a phone, we're looking at quad-band GSM (9-hours talk / 380 hours standby) and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100 on the C905a worldphone variant. It also comes packing an auto-rotating, 2.4-inch scratch-resistant QVGA display, aGPS with Google Maps, A2DP stereo Bluetooth, TV-out, 2 gigabytes of included Memory Stick Micro (M2), and WiFi with DLNA support when this slider is loosed upon the globe in Q4.

The C905 is certainly no slouch in the camera department, with that for-serious Xenon flash and dedicated camera keys, but you'll pay for it in thickness -- the C905 is a good deal thicker than its Walkman counterparts, though that does leave room for a nicely formed slide-out keypad.

The C905 is capable of geotagging pictures, but can't upload on the fly to photo services just yet like Nokia's new phones, though such capability is in the works.

5 megapixel phone

I was checking what's new about mobile phones. I was thinking, every month almost 10 new models of mobile phones come out of the market eventhough they are not yet being sold or launch internationally. I am now thinking of not yet buying a new mobile phone since every now and then a new model comes out. What if you bought a new model and then the next week, a new and more improved model than the one you just bought last week just released in the market. That's bum huh! Well, I was snooping around and checking what is new in the mobile phone industry. I'm not surprise that there is another new phone that's gonna be out internationally but what surprises me is the it has a feature of 5 megapixel camera on it! It is almost clear shot as a Samsung or Sony digicam.

So Sony Ericson Cybershot phones, watch out, there is a new phone in town that will double your capacity to shoot clear photos. And here it is...

Motorola ZN5

Hints of Motorola's new MOTOZINE series of devices have gone back as far as last year, but yesterday marked the first time that Moto's officially spilled any beans on the goods. The headlining feature on the first model, the ZN5 candybar, lies on the backside: a 5-megapixel sensor courtesy of a partnership with Kodak, featuring autofocus, a xenon flash, image stitching, and on-device integration with Kodak Gallery. Otherwise, you get Wi-Fi (score), Motorola's so-called "ModeShift" technology for morphing the keypad depending on device mode (a la the E8), and a run-of-the-mill quad-band GSM radio with EDGE. China's the first country to get the hookup starting next month, but Moto expects to take the ZN5 on a world tour over the course of the remainder of the year.

Lucky for China they will be the first one to use this new digitaly improved camera phone. Let's just watch for it here in the Philippines.

Cool Phones!

Here are some cool phones that are out this summer time in the United States. Some of these phones might hit the Philippine Market. Well... I do not know when. But you might have seen one at the mall or a cellphone retailer store. Mobile Phones or Cellphones, they say are the trendy fashion of Gadgets and Technology. Here are some of the cool phones....

LG Glimmer
This new slider phone from LG has a large 2.8-inch touchscreen and a touch keypad that provides vibration feedback. It's a sturdy phone with a multi-file format music player, 2-MP camera, GPS capability, stereo Bluetooth, and high-speed EV-DO data.

HTC Touch Dual
The two million unit-selling HTC Touch has been updated with a slide-down keyboard, giving you the option of touch diling or typing. The 20-key layout is much easier to use than the stylus while messaging, but the convenient touch swipes makes navigating menues on the 2.6" display quite speedy. The HTC Home Screen allows for quick viewing of your info. With a 2-MP camera, microSD, and HSDPA/Wi-Fi data, this Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone is an excellent device.





Motorola ROKR E8
Motorola's new ROKR E8 music phone includes ModeShift technology, which allows the phone to only display the touch controls you need, when you need them. In music mode, you'll see the typical nav buttons (play/pause, stop, skip, etc.). While viewing pictures, you'll see zoom controls. When making calls, the normal dial keypad reappears. The E8 touchpad provides good tactile feel, and the FastScroll wheel makes navigation a breeze.

Nokia N78
The Nokia N78 is a stylish (and unlocked) phone with Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity and GPS functionality. The phone automatically geotags the photos you take, allowing you to see the capture location within a map on the phone, or online. You can also wirelessly upload your photos to Flickr.

I think this Nokia N78 is already out here in Philippines. I think it cost around Php 20K.

Instinct by Samsung
Samsung's latest "iPhone killer" offers a compelling touch interface with 3G connectivity. It is also the first consumer phone to have EV-DO capability with access to Sprint's multimedia services and web browser. You can customize the screen menu to have easy access to contacts, Sprint TV, or your favorite website. You can download songs wirelessly and access turn-by-turn driving directions via TeleNav.

$199 only and brand new... WHOA!!

It was my day off last Tuesday and I was watching "News on Q" on QTV channel 11. I was about to prepare going to sleep when I heard on television that Apple will release it's new i-phone 3G which only cost $199 or 8,557php(rate at 43pesos per dollar) and I just said "WHOA! Are they sure??". The first i-phone that apple released in 2006 "I think" cost $399 and now they are selling the brand new one just $199? Talking about a phone that has 3G and it's cheap!

Apple will be selling these phones $199 including in the Philippines. Coming out this July 2008, the iPhone 3G has GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and EDGE capabilitly.

The new iPhone 3G will come in two colors and two storage models — black, white, 8GB and 16GB. Still with just 2MP camera and there seems to be no front panel video camera for making 3G calls.

According to the Globe Telecom press release, the Apple iPhone 3G will be available to all post-paid and pre-paid subscribers. It could be as early as July or maybe as late as September of this year.

But of course they will not sell it for 8,557php because they will include taxes and tarriffs and it will end up around Php 13K to 14K. Let's wait for the prices that will come officially from Globe Telecom once July or early September comes...

Evolution of Mobile Phones

Communication is very much used to whatever country we belong and whatever language we use. Also there are different kinds, types and forms when communicating. Some of us in order to communicate with another country, tries to learn the language to remove the communication barrier and better communicate with one another. We use snail mail, email, instant messages, chat, blogs to communicate. But what I think is being used by many either they are in the lower class, middle class or upper class in ways of communicating is a Mobile Phone or Cellular phone.

There was one time that I thank the inventor of the mobile phone because it helped me a lot in my daily activity. It is easy for me to reach a love one, friend or co-worker just by using a Mobile Phone. Hassle free too because you do not need to see the person that you need to communicate to immediately, you just need to send him/her an SMS (text message) or just by calling him/her directly. What a convenient way to communicate huh. Every year new mobile phones are being released and being bought by many. But did you think about how the oldest mobile phone looks like? The younger generations today only know the mobile phone that already have a camera on it and you can download files and music using a mobile phone. Just to give you an overview of how the mobile phone looked like, see this video about "The Evolution of Mobile Phones".

Isn't it amazing how Mobile Phones changes every year?
