Nokia have released the Nokia N73 ‘multimedia computer’. The N73 comes hot on the heels of the Nokia N93, which was also released today. Obviously Nokia feel the summer’s been far too boring, and need to liven things up with a brace of N-Series phones!

The N73 is not quite as all-singing all-dancing as the N93, but it’s still a superb phone. 3.2 megapixel camera, stereo speakers, great browser, support for Flickr, and Amazon Anywhere all come as part of the package.

Nokia have begun shipping the new Nokia N93. With an amazing set of features, the N93 is one of the most hotly-anticipated phones of 2006. 3 megapixel camera, superb video features, WiFi, the list goes on.

LG have announced the new LG KG920 mobile phone, which comes fully-loaded with a 5 megapixel camera. Although LG have released other mobile phones with similarly-high megapixel cameras, the KG920 is aimed squarely at Sony Ericsson’s CyberShot phones, focusing heavily on the quality of the pictures it can take.

The Sony Ericsson Black Diamond was just a concept back in March, when pictures of Jaren Goh’s concept phone began circulating on the web. Now, though, comes news that this stunning looking mobile phone will actually be made…well, five of them anyway!

Now here’s an idea that’s certain to be reality in just a few short years. Called Google Vision, it’s a concept developed BY UK designer Callum Peden. Google Vision features a handset-type device that opens out to reveal a retractable flexible screen. Callum’s idea is for the device to capture images through its camera and send them to Google automatically, together with GPS co-ordinates of the user’s location. Google will identify the object or the location and tell you what you’re looking at.

The Nokia N93 has been previewed by AllAboutSymbian, who’ve managed to get hold of one of these fantastic handsets before Nokia officially launches it. The Nokia N93 is a superb all-singing all-dancing mobile phone (or ‘multimedia computer’, as Nokia now prefers to call them), coming fully loaded with 3.2 megapixel camera (with 3x optical zoom), MP3 player, superb video camera, TV-Out, WiFi, 3G, GSM, USB, Blutooth, UPnP and TV-Out connectivity, and a superb browser for a mobile phone.

Samsung have announced the new Samsung SCH-B450 ‘free-folder’ phone. The SCH-B450 is another of Samsung’s high-end technological marvels that certainly has the wow factor. The first thing that grabs your eye is the form factor of the phone. The term ‘free folder’ coomes from the 180 degree swivelling design, which lets you use the phone in clamshell form, or swivel it round to play games. But it’s not just the form factor that’s impressive – in typical Samsung form, the SCH-B450 is packed to the gills with features.
