Official press release and photos below:



Presenting the Nokia N92: TV goes Mobile November 02, 2005


The world's first integrated DVB-H mobile device makes prime time any time


Nokia N92Nokia Mobility Conference 2005, Barcelona, Spain/Espoo, Finland - At the Nokia Mobility Conference, Nokia today proudly presented the Nokia N92, the first integrated DVB-H mobile device in the Nokia Nseries range for watching broadcast TV programs. The Nokia N92 offers easy access to TV programs without having to sit in front of a television set. Users can set reminders to watch their favorite TV programs, create personal channel lists and subscribe to TV channel packages. The outstanding new form factor offers a highly ergonomic user-experience. The usability is further enhanced by the large 2.8" anti-glare QVGA screen with 16 million colors and the dedicated media keys that deliver a rich viewing experience.


Nokia N92 Cell Phone"The Nokia N92 is the first in a range of products bringing together the rich experience of conventional broadcast TV with the connected experience of mobility to create a new category - mobile TV," said Richard Sharp, Vice President of Rich Media at Nokia. "We are confident that mobile TV will be an exciting new service for consumers, as well as generate new opportunities for innovation and growth in the mobile and media industries."


The Nokia N92 has four different modes for simple and easy usage. The new view mode is especially designed for watching TV and video.

Other mobile TV features include watching time of up to four hours, recording and 30 seconds replay.


The cellular connectivity means people can interact with the TV, through services such as voting, program feedback and additional web discovery. Further, the Nokia N92 supports the new Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, which provides a semi-transparent zoomed-out view of a web page that enables users to quickly orient themselves on a small screen. With an overall view of the web page, users can intuitively navigate to all corners of it as well as see the web page as it was originally designed.


The Nokia N92 is also an XpressMusic device, with up to 2 GB memory card support, offering storage for up to 1500 songs delivered through the built-in stereo speakers or a stereo headset. The entertainment experience is further complimented by FM radio with Visual Radio support*.

The Nokia N92, which is based on S60 3rd Edition and Symbian OS, is planned to be commercially available in mid 2006 in Europe, Africa and Asia, in countries where DVB-H services are available, with an estimated, unsubsidized sales price of approximately 600 euros.

Nokia 6233

Nokia 6233



6233 Front Low-Thumb-1Nokia's "business" oriented phone was announced today, at an annual investors meeting. The phone kind of reminds me of a candy bar, but a bit bigger.



Nokia plans on releasing the phone in the 2nd quarter of 2006, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to make its debut in the US during that time. Features include stereo speakers, micro5D card slot, 320x240 QVGA color screen, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and WCDMA 2100/ GSM 900/1800/1900.


There is no word yet, on how much this phone will cost.

LG VX5300 Review

tn_vx5300-1.jpgtn_vx5300-4.jpg


Released for Verizon Wireless, the LG VX5300 is the successor to the VX5200, offers consumers the latest in mobile handset technology all wrapped up in a savvy clamshell design. A snapshot of the features includes a VGA camera with flash, speaker-independent voice recognition, a one-touch speakerphone and dual full-color LCDs, and the wireless convenience of Bluetooth capabilities give the new LG VX5300 a leg up on its forerunner, last year’s LG VX5200. Released by Verizon Wireless, the lighter VX5300 phone features a built-in VGA camera with flash, one-touch speaker phone and speaker independent voice recognition, all within LG’s signature clamshell design.


The sleek, easy-to-use LG VX5300 offers all the great features of its predecessor, the LG VX5200, but adds a lighter design and an improved display. The phone also boasts Bluetooth, instant messaging, and polyphonic ringtones. Plus, there’s an advanced driving mode for total handsfree operation that makes it a great companion for anyone with a busy, on-the-go lifestyle.




Review By Mobiledia



The LG VX5300’s classic clamshell look is a deviation from the trendy, ultra-thin models that have gained much mainstream attention. Some users might find the design boring, but the VX5300 will be the right fit for the conservative consumer who values traditional form and functionality.

The phone weighs 3.28 ounces - almost an ounce lighter than the VX5200 - and measures in at 3.5″ x 1.9″ x 0.9″. While the VX5300 is a lightweight, its 1.0-inch antenna can make the VX5300 feel awkward when carried in a pocket. Moreover, there are no carrying holes on this phone for the user to attach a hand strap or other such device.

Review By Mobileburn



Mobile users will enjoy the many hands free options the VX5300 has to offer, including Bluetooth, a built-in speakerphone, and voice recognition so you can check your Verizon mobile account minutes or make calls without having to dial a phone number. In addition, the phone’s address book allows up to 500 entries; 5 phone numbers, 2 email addresses, and 1 picture ID per entry.

Review By Wirefly



The LG VX5300 is the most affordable LG cell phone available to Verizon Wireless customers. As the successor to the VX5200, the VX5300 retains the sleek and stylish LG look while adding Bluetooth wireless technology for easy data syncing. TXT+PIX support allows for multimedia messaging. And, with two color screens, a VGA camera for print-quality photos, a speakerphone and advanced voice-dialing, the LG VX5300 for Verizon Wireless is one of the best cell phone deals you’ll find.

Review By Scienceblog



The VX5300 covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text, pictures and sound via the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). Instant messaging is also supported. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit — a plus for mobile text messaging users.


Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the VX5300, as well. Verizon’s optional Mobile Web package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. You can check your e-mail, trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings and find directions to the theater.

E-Ten M600+ Review

tn_m600plus.jpgtn_3131-3.jpg


The E-TEN M600+, an upgrade of the original M600, brings with it some useful improvements: “more memory, higher resolution camera and improved Bluetooth.

With the M600+ E-TEN have made a few modest improvements to the M600 specification to offer better value and features without impacting upon the performance that made the original such a hit favorite. Flash memory has been increased to 256MB (double the original capacity) meaning consumers can load the M600+ with even more mobile applications, personal documents and contact information. Secondly, the built-in camera has been upgraded and is now capable of capturing images up to 2.0 mega-pixels in size. Finally, support for Bluetooth 2.0 has been added.


The M600+ comes preloaded with the latest version of Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, which adds support for Direct Push technology. With Direct Push the mobile capabilities of the M600+ are extended even further by enabling most of the information stored on a corporate Microsoft Exchange Server to be updated directly on the phone. Many mobile professionals are now familiar with ‘Push Email’ services that allow the delivery of certain kinds of emails onto their mobile devices, however on the M600+, Direct Push goes even further allowing contacts, calendars, tasks and other information, in addition to emails, to be sent to the device.


Review By Shop.Eten



The new model, dubbed the M600+, retains the elegant design and impressive core hardware features that made the original M600 a favorite among both the media and consumers, and adds increased 256MB memory capacity, an improved 2.0 mega-pixels camera, and updated software including support for Push email services, to make a great Pocket PC Phone package even better.

Review By Welectronics


Eten from Taiwan has refreshed their popular M600 smartphone, renaming it the M600+ but strangely removing the integrated GPS system in the process. The original smartphone was famous for having a simple design with a host of connectivity options, so its successor has pretty large shoes to fill. The Eten M600+ boasts an improved Bluetooth 2.0 over the original’s 1.2 with double the onboard memory of 130MB, bringing the total to 256MB. The 1.3 megapixel camera has been upgraded to a 2 megapixel version. The M600+ is powered by the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS with push email capability and will be priced slightly higher than the M600.

Review By Phonearena



M600+ is the latest Pocket PC Phone by Taiwanese manufacturer ETEN, which become popular due to models like M500, M600 and G500. As a successor of the M600, is has the same dimensions and design, while the materials used are slightly different. Its technical specifications are also better as it now supports Bluetooth v2.0, the camera is a 2 megapixel one and its quality is quite better this time, and the internal memory is the astonishing 256MB!

Review By Msmobiles


The original M600 Pocket PC Phone was designed by E-TEN to deliver a complete communications package in a single compact device. The phone/PDA offers quad-band (worldwide) GSM and GPRS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity options, each of which come supported with a comprehensive suit of software utilities that make keeping in touch while on the move simple and efficient. More highlights of the M600 that earned praise from reviewers include; a fast 400MHz Samsung processor that delivers boosted performance with the latest mobile applications, an extra-bright 2.8″ display, and impressive battery life. Consumers loved the M600 for its elegant antenna-free compact design, versatile SDIO expansion slot, and its ease of use.

Review By Trustedreviews


One of the best aspects of the E-TEN M600+ shows itself when you use the 2-megapixel camera. The screen is surrounded by icons which allow you to make settings such as changing the image resolution, applying filters and deciding whether to save your image on the internal memory or a memory card. You can toggle these on and off by hitting a toolbar icon on screen. I’ve seen this before from E-TEN, and I don’t think anyone can beat it for ease of access to camera options.

T-Mobile MDA Compact Review

tn_T-Mobile MDA Compact.jpgtn_mda-compact-side.jpgtn_mda-compact-back.jpg


T-Mobile’s MDA Compact is a connected Pocket PC that’s very similar to the popular i-mate JAM, which we reviewed towards the end of 2004. Both the MDA Compact and the SDA, a Windows-based smartphone, are available either on their own or as a bundle with ALK’s CoPilot navigation software.


There is now a variety of connected Pocket PCs available through UK-based operators. O2, for example, has a range including the xda II, xda IIi and xda IIs. What makes the MDA Compact stand out is that only its near-twin the i-mate JAM shares is its very small size.

At just 5.8cm wide by 10.6cm deep by 1.8cm high, the MDA Compact is about two thirds the size of the average Pocket PC, and although at 170g it’s a bit on the heavy side, it fits almost as neatly in the pocket as a mobile phone does. Indeed, seated next to the T-Mobile SDA and the latter is actually slightly taller.


The ergonomics of the MDA Compact are very similar to those of any other Pocket PC. Navigation and shortcut buttons sit beneath the screen. The left edge provides a slider for controlling both call and system volume, a button for the built-in voice notes software and another for the built-in camera. The upper edge houses an SD card slot.

On the bottom edge there’s a 2.5mm headphone jack and the charge/synchronisation connector, which is a mini-USB type. The back is home to the camera lens and a comparatively large self-portrait mirror. The stylus, which is rather too lightweight for our liking, lives in a slot on the right edge of the device, adjacent to the power switch, and there’s an infrared port on the bottom right edge.


Review By Reviewcentre


The concept of this phone is simple - its Pocket PC PDA phone which has been shrunk to the size of a regular Smartphone, whilst retaining key functions of a PDA. It has a reasonably big screen yet it doesn’t look like you’re holding a brick to your ear when you’re making a phone call.


Spec-wise MDA Compact has what you’d expect of a Smartphone - built-in camera, GPRS, tri-band reception, media player, Outlook plus pocket versions of Word and Excel on top. Notable omissions include Wi-Fi, slide-out keyboard large internal memory but it does have an SDIO port so Wi-Fi and flash memory can be added (at extra cost).

Review By Digit-life


Pocket PC communicators have been always considered devices of much controversy, despite the considerable advantages and progressive nature of this platform. It initially implied fixed display resolution and proportions. Previous generation technologies allowed to manufacture rather large (3.5” and larger) TFT displays of a standard resolution (320×240 pixels), which resulted in the increased width of the devices. As a result, large communicators were very discomfortable to use. Mandatory hands-free usage didn’t and won’t do for most users. So these dimensions and display proportions limited the improvement of Pocket PC communicator ergonomics.

Review By Pcw


If you’re looking for a mobile handset that’s capable of more than just making calls and text messaging, T-mobile’s MDA Compact is worth serious consideration.

It’s one of the latest smartphones designed around Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 2003 SE Phone Edition.The first thing that strikes you about this handset is its size - the Compact looks minute alongside a standard Windows-based PDA.

Review By Infosyncworld


For someone who’s used a Windows Mobile device or two, the T-Mobile MDA will appear almost impossibly small at 108 x 58 x 24 mm and 160 g - the exact footprint of the German T-Mobile MDA Compact, only slightly thicker to accomodate the stealthy slide-out thumbboard which occupies the rear half of the device. The front, meanwhile, plays host to a 2.8-inch QVGA display which, despite sub-par ClearType performance, is both bright and crisp as well as sufficiently large.

Sick Macbooks - Apple MacBook Problems and Solutions

tn_Nokia 6234.jpgtn_Nokia 6234    2.jpg


Nokia unveiled the 3G-enabled Nokia 6234. Featuring a 2-megapixel camera, a 320×240 QVGA color screen, digital music player, stereo speakers and a wide array of features and applications which take advantage of WCDMA mobile broadband services, the Nokia 6234 camera phone will be available exclusively for Vodafone customers world-wide.The Nokia 6234 holds music experience, to be enjoyed via the built-in stereo speakers with 3-D sound effects or headphones. Supporting microSD cards of up to 2GB, the Nokia 6234 photography phone puts a collection of consumers’ favourite albums right into their pockets.


The basic candybar design, all in shiny or matt silver on the front, suggests simplicity. Certainly the large number keys, big and easy to use navigation button, and (extremely small but well spaced) softkeys and call and end keys are easy to find and hit. Most impressive, perhaps in design terms, is that the 6234 is similar in proportions to a Windows Mobile Smartphone. With dimensions of 108 x 46 x 18mm and weighing in at 110g, the 6234 is evidence that the days of chunky 3G handsets are behind us.


The phone’s 2-megapixel camera has 8x digital zoom and takes sharp pictures, and makes a great second camera. However, you shouldn’t take too much notice of the size of the zoom unless a camera specifies that it offers optical zoom – a facility that only appears on the very best camera phones. Optical zoom allows you to zoom in on the subject without losing picture quality. Digital zoom works in the same way as cropping an image on a computer.


Review By Mobileburn


The Nokia 6234 supports a variety of music file formats for stereo playback over wired or Bluetooth stereo speakers if the user chooses to not use the built-in speakers. A microSD/TransFlash memory card slot will allow for expansion of up to 2GB in capacity when the larger cards become available in the near future.

Review By 3g.co.uk


The camera itself is quite good, though, and its 2 megapixles for stills and 640 x 480 maximum resolution for video is not to be sniffed at. The side mounted shutter button combines with the softmenu keys to make the camera nice and easy to use – ‘nice and easy’ being the theme of this handset, it seems.

Review By Cnet


The Nokia 6234, exclusive to the Vodafone network in Australia, is a very simple candybar form factor 3G mobile phone, with a pleasant and minimalist design. It measures in at 47 by 18 by 108 millimetres and weighs a scant 108 grams, making it a smallish 3G phone. That sense of small scale is contrasted starkly with the dialling buttons, which are quite large for a phone of this size. If you’re constantly stabbing at the wrong buttons on other phones, the 6234’s nicely chunky buttons could be very appealing.

The Nokia 6234 holds an impressive music experience, to be enjoyed via the built-in stereo speakers with 3-D sound effects or headphones.

Samsung SGH Z400 3G Phone Review

tn_pf389v36m.jpg


The new Samsung Z400 makes significant gains from its forerunner with a range of nifty enhancements and added features. When you?re working on the move, Document Viewer allows you to read files intact in Excel, PPT and Word, as well as HTML, PDF and Text files. In Offline Mode, users can switch off the phone function but revel in embedded content such as documents or photos while on a plane - with savings in battery time, to boot. All-important user memory, at 30MB, is also fully expandable via external Micro SD, to save and store your documents. Bluetooth more often than not saves the day, with mobile printing and wireless connections and sync-ups to your laptop or PDA. Go cordless with a wireless stereo headset, or hands-free with the Speakerphone option. This improved model is specially geared towards maximum productivity in work-oriented activities on the run.


This is a 3G phone, supporting UMTS 2.1 GHz, as well as GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 MHz networks. Touted as a business phone, the phone comes with built-in document viewers.

The phone sports a bright 2″ 240×320 pixel resolution (QVGA) LCD TFT display capable of outputting 262k colors. User-accessible memory, while limited at 30MB, can happily be extended using a separate microSD memory card - ideal for storing photos from the 2-megapixel camera or your favorite songs.


The Samsung Z400 also has an integrated music player that can play MP3/AAC/AAC+/e-AAC+. Go wireless with Bluetooth technology. PC connectivity is possible via a USB data cable, and thanks to PictBridge provision, you can print your photos without accessing a PC.


Review By Samsung


The Z400 is a superlative business companion that lets customers view Excel, PPT and Word, as well as HTML, PDF and Text files on the move. The Z400 is also able to be the music companion with Bluetooth ® stereo headset support for listening with freedom. User memory with a fully expandable microSD memory card slot provides enough space to save and store your documents, photos, and music. Boasting a 2 megapixel camera with 4x Digital Zoom, the Z400 lets users instantly capture those special moments or record the moments in high quality color video and with sound.

Review By 3g.co.uk


With A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) you can wirelessly hook-up over Bluetooth with a pair of compatible stereo headphones and you’ll find the fidelity performance notched up another level. However, with no room to manoeuvre or adapt the audio, the Z400 just sounds one-dimensional.

You can create playlists on the fly and shuffle and repeat songs but this is as rudimentary as the player gets. If you’re looking to use the Z400 as a music player then we advise you invest in an optional 1GB microSD card because the 30MB of internal memory won’t hold a bean.

Review By Cnet


Sliding the phone up — an immensely satisfying experience given the mechanism’s springiness — reveals a 2-megapixel camera with a large “ego-cam” mirror up top and a curved keypad down below. On the left side are the dedicated volume keys and a MicroSD card slot (unfortunately without a card included). The right side features a camera launch key, shortcut button for accessing frequently used applications, and a covered slot for charging and plugging in the headset.

Review By Mobile-Phones-Uk



The Z400 is the first Samsung phone to feature 3G technology in a slider design. The slider design has become hugely popular during the past couple of years, so it’s nice to see a 3G slider on the market. At first glance the Z400 looks like a silver D500 - slightly wider and longer, but substantially thinner. It’s a little heavier than the D500, but nevertheless quite lightweight for a 3G phone.
