Samsung Wave S8500 – The First Bada Smartphone

strong>Author: Simon Drew

Among the most impressive handsets to be featured in the recent Mobile Congress World 2010 in Barcelona are from Samsung.  You can forget all the rest.  The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 can take a hike together with its inferior derivative Minis.

In the presence of the new Samsung S8500 Wave and the i8520 Beam, there's little doubt  the Japanese mobile phone giant can learn a thing or two about Korean Samsung on how to make a promising landmark smartphone.  And between the two new Samsung jewels, the Wave gets our nod with its new proprietary Bada OS, the first of its kind with the Wave as Samsung's first Bada smartphone.

Cutting Edge Features

Housed in a touchscreen monoblock seamless aluminum body that's only 10.9mm thick, the Wave once released is one of the thinnest touchscreen smartphones on the planet. Its 3.3-inch display many not look impressive at first glance when off, but turn it on and the brilliance of Super AMOLED display technology gives it unmistakable superiority over LCD displays.

It uses capacitive multitouch touchscreen with wide-VGA resolution at 480 x 800 pixels in 16 million colors.  There's the usual gravity accelerometer for auto-rotate and a proximity sensor for touchscreen auto-turn off when held against the face in a call.  The screen is covered with a scratch-resistant anti-smudge tempered glass surface.

The Wave is a dual band 3G phone with 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA data connectivity as well as a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE on 2G.  You get WiFi 802.11 b/g/n capable of up to 24 Mbps.  It's also the first we've seen to use Bluetooth 3.0 for the highest possible wireless local data connection.  It also comes with microUSB 2.0 for wired data synching.  There's A-GPS with digital compass and Google Maps 3.0

Imaging is provided by a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and high definition 720p video recording with video light.  It features geo-tagging from its built-in A-GPS receiver as well as face, mile and blink detection. There's a secondary VGA camera at the front for video calls.

Multimedia comes with the usual media players for the popular image, video and audio file formats that include Xvid and DivX. There's stereo FM with RDS that supports FM broadcast recording.  Audio is enhanced with Samsung's own DNSe (Digital Natural Sound engine) and you can listen either wirelessly using its Bluetooth A2DP or wired using the 3.5mm headphone jack.

You get an ARM Cortex A8 processor clocked at 1 GHz that matches the Qualcomm Snapdragon and comes with 2GB internal memory with the usual microSD expandability at up to 32 GB.  It runs the new multitasking Bada OS with TouchWiz 3.0 user interface with customizable menu and widgets and seamless integrated social networking and messaging functions with your phonebook.

Availability

Samsung has announced its availability this April.  There are no other body color variants except black and pricing has yet to be announced.  But with its cutting edge features, the Samsung Wave S8500 is an upscale smartphone not meant for a wider budget-conscious market.

Sony 40Ex500 - Performs Beyond Your Expectation!

Author: jeffmbs

The 40EX500 is Sony’s newest budget-line HDTV that is hard to beat. The Sony Bravia KDL40EX500 LCD HDTV sports a simple body with a sleek bezel that doesn’t outshine the screen. The KDL-EX500 40" HDTV has very few LED status lights and just Sony and Bravia logos in front, so it enables you to focus more on the screen rather than being distracted by what’s around it. Look wise, this HDTV has well squared off edges that would show off its design explicitly. Unlike many popular models that have speakers fitted visibly in the bottom, the Sony KDL-EX500 40" HDTV has invisible speakers for a neat outer appeal. The black stand of this HDTV is good enough but as the screen is fairly small, you can always mount it to the wall.

The Sony EX500 Series HDTV offers sharp, vibrant, and life-like images, thanks to Bravia Engine 2 fully digital video processor. You get impressive image quality from all your components, as it comes with 1080p resolution. Viewing high motion scenes and action sequences will not be a problem as the Sony Bravia KDL40EX500 LCD HDTV features Motionflow 120Hz technology. Being one of Sony’s top-of-the-line models, this HDTV comes with LightSensor technology and ambient sensor, so you get to see the best picture no matter what kind of lighting you have in your room.

With 7 HD inputs, it would be difficult to find a device that cannot be attached to this HDTV. There is also a USB connection, thus now you can show off your latest photos or even play your favorite music easily.

So, the Sony KDL-EX500 40" HDTV is surely a great entertainment package for the money you spend.

The New Blackberry Curve 8910 Is Coming

Author: Simon Drew

The first major thing about the new BlackBerry Curve 8910 that you will notice is the lack of 3G capabilities. In line with the original 8900, the lack of 3G has always been a problem for some smart phone users. But for people who only need to rely on WiFi access, the 8900 is the perfect series to turn to when it comes to affordable smart phones.

The device initially surfaced in a series of leaked images before an FCC application popped up. The Bluetooth registration of the phone surfaced around January (it was dated January 6) and it was rumored that the device will be running version 5.0 of the BlackBerry operating system.

The new 8910 is showing the continuing trend of BlackBerry’s adaptation of the trackpad to replace the old trackball. The new, smoother controls of the optical trackpad are as precise as the original trackball –with less attraction to dirt and lint. Many BlackBerry owners are familiar with the feeling of having to routinely clean up the trackball.

The 8910 will have a significantly faster CPU running at 624 MHz (as compared to the original 512 MHz of the 8900). Looking at the Bold 9700 which shares a similar 624 MHz processor, the BlackBerry OS on the 8910 should be pretty fast in terms of loading.

Initial Reports

The 8910 model of the Curve series was first seen in leaked images of the device –which looked very similar to the Atlas. The phone was shown to be using the old form of the 8900 though with a few traces of the Bold 9700’s influence. Too bad the keyboard will not be the same as the one used in the Bold (which is a big improvement over the existing 8900 keyboard). The device was also confirmed through its Bluetooth registration early in January 2010.

Curve Series

The BlackBerry Curve 8910 is a sequel to the original Curve 8900 model that arrived pretty quickly. Originally, the first Curve model, the 8300, debuted in 2007. The next device in the series was the 8900 which came out in 2009 –a full two years later. In the same year, the 8520/8530 model also arrived. While the 8300 (which lacked both 3G and WiFi) did get a few upgrades in the form of the 8310, 8320, 8330 and 8350i.

Behind the BlackBerry

There is no doubt that the Curve 8910 will come out as an amazing business model smart phone. For the more casual user, this phone will deliver well in terms of email and long messaging. This is because Canadian manufacturer Research in Motion has been one of the leaders in business phones for a long time now.

They originally started with devices that enabled two way paging before they moved on to creating devices that begun the series of mobile phones that we now recognize and know as the BlackBerry. The company is based in Waterloo in Ontario, Canada and they have over 12,000 employees. RIM generates around a net income of 1.3 billion Euros (as of 2008) each year. Aside from the BlackBerry, the company still manufactures interactive pagers.
