LG KC780

LG KC780 is the next LG cameraphone that will have an 8 megapixel camera. While it's exciting to see yet another high-res cameraphone, it seems LG have not put a lot of effort in making its design stand out. While the whole 8 megapixel camera is nothing short of exciting news, everything else about this phone doesn't seem to get people fired up that much. This happens mostly because LG didn't take much interest in its design, so much so that the new handset can’t really stand out from the crowd. No release date or pricing have been made available so far.

* Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity
* Red eye reduction
* Face recognition

fujitsu new phones design ceatec 2008 !

NTT DoCoMo has come up with this interesting idea that consists of having a flip-phone that can split in two separate pieces. For example, you might want to talk and look at some information at the same time. The gadget features a separate screen and keyboard segment, and the pieces can be configured in a standard flip-phone-like arrangement, or snapped together to form an X1 or Touch Pro-esque landscape QWERTY variation. The two halves are held together by magnets and communicate via Bluetooth.

Communication between both parts is done through Bluetooth and both parts can be used separately to listen to music,cool

The parts are joined by a magnet and connected via Bluetooth. The touchscreen reacts to the way the users are holding it. In vertical position, it shows a numeric keypad. When horizontally attached, the touchscreen will switch to character entry mode or display a “virtual” game pad so that users can write emails or play games.

Sony Ericsson's Biodegradable Phone !!

Sony Ericsson has announced plans to explore using environmentally sound components in its cell phones.

Cell phones are not biodegradable, containing small amounts of potentially harmful substances in batteries which, if not disposed of properly, could damage the environment.

The GreenHeart concept will research green technologies, using bio-plastic housings, recycled plastic keypads, zero charger with 3.5mW standby power, HTML based e-manuals, a game style educational application 'Ecomate' and environmentally conscious packaging.

In August, Samsung released its E200 Eco, a phone whose entire case is made from bioplastic. NEC introduced a bioplastic phone in Japan in 2006, and has been using plant-derived materials since 2004.

"The global take back scheme and the GreenHeart project bring us closer to our vision of being a leader in sustainability in the mobile phone industry," said Mats Pellback-Scharp, Head of Corporate Sustainability for Sony Ericsson.

Sony Ericsson has also setup collection points to recycle used cell phones in an environmentally sound way. There are currently more than 500 collection points in India, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Singapore, USA and Mexico. By 2009, it plans to rollout the program in all the countries in which it operates.

HTC Touch viva

In addition, with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, users can easily synchronize their calendar, contacts, emails and more with their personal computer.

The display is nothing much to shout about though at QVGA resolution, while you can't surf faster than EDGE speeds, but you will be aided by the TouchFLO user interface and accompanied. Bear in mind the tweaked version of TouchFLO won't work on 3D acceleration that is available in HTC's higher-end units.

devices will be available in early October 2008 in a variety of markets. The Touch 3G will be available in four colors: sophisticated black, noble gold, sparkle blue and modern brown while the HTC Touch Viva will be available in Storm Gray.

Samsung M8800 Pixon

Unveiled at last the full specifications of the Samsung M8800, a model that we saw recently with the name of Bresson, but it seems that his code name is Pixon. In any case, either of the two names together perfectly describes his main task, the photograph.


It is the second of the models that Samsung is launching an 8 megapixel sensor, which is closer to a camera than a cellphone. But in this last feature also highlights the Samsung M8800 presenting characteristics shared with other models of the manufacturer or the like Omnia Tocco.


It is a quad phone with support for HSDPA connectivity. Is controlled through its touchscreen, with a size of 3.2 inches and a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. It comes equipped with TouchWiz interface, which allows handle it with your fingers, and with which we can use various widgets, including a prediction of time and some of Google.

Although not handle physical keyboard, the Samsung M8800 offers an onscreen keyboard, which is kind of QWERTY if we use in horizontal. To do so, the phone has an accelerometer that automatically rotates the screen to rotate. But if you prefer other methods of text input, also supports handwriting recognition.
No falls short in the rest of features, since it also includes a GPS receiver and Bluetooth connectivity, but there should be something essential in this kind of a phone today, the Wi-Fi connectivity, which has not been included in The Samsung M8800. A pity, because we will have to rely always HSDPA.
In the multimedia section, offers us the opportunity to play in DivX video and music, can store the content on memory cards MicroSD type. Too bad it does not include a conventional headphone jack, but an owner of Samsung, like they did in the Omnia. We find also an FM radio tuner with RDS support.

But we are going to point the most spectacular Samsung M8800, its camera. As the resolution offered is eight megapixels, supporting auto and having an image stabilizer. It includes features for recognizing faces and detect smiles and flashing, which normally only see in compact cameras of medium and high.

In addition to photos (which, incidentally, can be geolocalize thanks to the GPS receiver), the camera also can record video, either in widescreen, 720 x 480 pixels, or conventional, at 640 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second.


Good specifications of the Samsung M8800, which is being advocated as an alternative to the Samsung Omnia, but with a better camera and replacing the Windows Mobile operating system by itself from a Korean manufacturer. Too bad the lack of Wi-Fi connection to allow the networks where available.

Will be put up for sale starting in November and its price around about the 550 euros free.
