Samsung have announced what they claim is the world’s thinnest mobile phone. The Samsung X828 beats the previous record-holder, the KTF EV-K100 (itself announced only two weeks ago!) by a full millimeter. One millimeter may not sound much, but given that the EV-K100 was only 7.9mm, the new Samsung X828′s record-breaking 6.9mm is a full 12.7% thinner.

This nifty looking beast is the Alcatel OT-C850 mobile music phone. Looking like a weird cross between a futuristic dictation machine and a retro hand-held games machine, the Alcatel mobile phone is short on features, but oozes style. It comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, 65k colors screen (176×220), and obviously an MP3 player (256 MB memory, plus a microSD card slot).

More pictures have been released of the new Pantech & Curitel PT-S170 mobile phone. Engadget aren’t a fan of the new phone, but imagine your friends’ faces when you pop the thing open to reveal its full transformer-esque glory :) Speaking…

After Nokia’s recent flurry of announcements, it seems it’s Sony Ericsson’s turn today, announcing the fourth member of their increasingly impressive Walkman family of mobile phones.
This one, I’m pleased to say, looks like the best yet.
The W900 offers…

The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet looks glorious, and is certainly extremely desirable.  How usable it will be, though, remains to be seen. It’s not actually meant to be a mobile phone – indeed, it has no mobile phone capabilities at all, relying completely on WLAN for its connectivity.  Rather, it’s designed as a platform to browse the web and read email over WLAN.  You can also use it to stream files, tune in to Internet radio, News Reader, or play videos and music.

Hot on the heels of delaying the much-hyped, mobsharing potential of the wi-fi-enabled N91, Nokia have announced another mobile-music phone that’s actually very similar to its delayed sibling.  The Nokia 3250 isn’t an N-series phone, so isn’t meant to be…

At last, after much feverish speculation, way too much coverage, and not a little hype, Motorola and Apple finally announce the Motorola ROKR E1 iTunes phone.
Here’s the spec:

o.3 megapixel camera
128MB memory (The New York Times puts this…

Why is it that when a new product carries a fabulous brand, chances are the product itself will be poor, or the run up to the big launch will be farcically fumbled? Take Sony’s new Walkman phone, the W800i. Slated…

2004 was clearly the year of the mobile phone camera, with resolutions reaching the useable 1 megapixel limit, and SonyEricsson and Nokia releasing phones with cameras that actually took decent pictures. Now, though, fashion has moved on. The mobile phones…

OK, I could be accused of being cynical, but this amazing looking phone looks too good to be true. It’s a 2 megapixel camera plus video recording phone with ‘Carl Zeiss lens’ (oooh!) – so far so good, what we’d expect for the next gen phones, and a nice step up from the current crop of 1 megapixellers. Not quite as good as some of the camera resolutions available elsewhere, but good all the same, and Nokia are noted for decent quality images from their phones (link here). The real seller, of course, is the amazing looks of the thing!

I mean, look at it – see it twist, see it flip, imagine your mates’ faces when you get it out casually, and before their very eyes start making little origami shapes out of your phone! Forget the quality of the gadgets, look at the thing twist!

So, you’re a mobile phone company, everyone says this is the year of the music mobile phone. Sony Ericsson has its Walkman brand, Motorola’s eloped with Apple’s iTunes, and you…well you have no music brand. Damn it! Guess you’ll have to focus on features instead then.

And thank Nokia for that! Nokia’s latest handset, coming to Blighty October 2005, not only focuses on music features, it overdoses on them. 4GB hard disk gives serious space for all your tunes, which can be downloaded over the air, over bluetooth, via USB, or, best of all, over a WLAN connection!
