LG GC900 Viewty Smart touchscreen smartphone review

The LG GC900 Viewty Smart is a fairly average-sized handset in a tablet form-factor.

The actual dimensions are 109mm x 56mm x 12.4mm (4.3in x 2.2in x .5in)

and the phone weighs 102g (3.6oz),

which is quite typical for a touchscreen phone these days.

The exterior is mainly finished in a metallic silver paint with a brushed metal effect on the rear. The front of the device features a bright WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) resolution display,

which measures 3 inches diagonally and can show up to 16 million colors.

The display is a capacitive touchscreen unit with good responsiveness,

but poor legibility in bright environments due to glare from the glossy finish.

Review of the Nokia 6790 Surge for AT&T Wireless

The Nokia Surge for AT&T is a QWERTY keyboard

enabled S60 device that's a bit different for a Nokia smartphone.

Ricky tests it out in this in-depth review,

which includes two videos of the phone in action.

The Nokia 6790 Surge from AT&T, from the front, looks like a standard portrait-oriented cell phone,

with a small display and a column of shortcut keys just off to the left.

However, slide the phone to the right and a spacious QWERTY keyboard is revealed as the display quickly rotates to landscape orientation.

The slide mechanism is sturdy, smooth, and spring-assisted, with a confident thud in either direction.

The phone itself is built from plastic, but does not have any unwelcome creaks or sounds when in use.

Looks are deceiving, and the Surge, while it appears large, is actually quite small,

measuring in at 97.5mm x 57.2mm x 15.5mm (3.84in x 2.28in x 0.61in) and

only weighing 124g (4.4oz).

The Nokia E52 is the fraternal twin of the Nokia E55.

While the E55 sports a 20-key hybrid QWERTY keypad,

the more traditional E52 features a conventional 12-key alphanumeric keypad.

Russell tests out the E52 to see how it compares with the E55.

The Nokia E52 is a new business handset,

designed for those who want a no-nonsense cell phone with a standard candybar form factor and numeric keypad.

It packs a huge battery, and active noise reduction for clearer calls,

which should make it a formidable tool in the business environment.

Read on to find out how the E52 handles itself in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

New nokia -Bluetooth-Bh-101-Headset

Nokia Aeon combines two touch-sensitive panels mounted on a fuel-cell power pack. Each of the panels are capable of being used independently. The touch screen displays all buttons that are virtual, so in one situation one panel could operate as the display, the other as the keypad. Nokia also establishes a new wireless standard with wibree, basically an upgraded bluetooth which would allow the user to connect to various wireless devices.
Aeon to be a thin-client, farming out processing and storage.The complete phone is virtual and the panels can be used for voice calls/ sending messages and enjoying the musical experiance from any panels. It can also merge itself into other local products using the inbuilt sensors with the complete design similar to synaptics onyx and BenQ-Siemens’s Black box, replaces the complete tradional keypad.

The Aeon seems to be typical razer-thin candy bar form factor cell phone with no actual buttons. That can change into any kind of menu, button and keypad with a simple touch. The touch screen method brings up a ton of quirky problems like causing damage to the display with those pointy thumbs of yours.
Though this concept phone was announced a year back still there are no latest news about it regarding the launch plans etc. Nokia should use the same Material on the screen as by iPhone, otherwise you will spend half of your time in wiping its screen. Nokia's vision of wearable technology users could wear the lightweight panels as a badge, or connected to a wrist strap. The most prominent design feature of aeon is a touchscreen that stretches over the full surface area of the phone, similar to benq siemens's black box concept phone.
