0 Which Is Better, HTC EVo 4G Or Apple IPHone 4?

As quickly as HTC launched its latest smartphone, the Evo 4G, the fans of Apple and Android lovers began their war of words. The war is not about whether the Evo 4G or the Apple iPhone is a better value for the money, it is actually about which of the two is the cooler device! It is true that the new Evo has some awesome features that no other mobile phone can match, but aren’t you more interested in figuring out what phone is better suited to your needs?

To begin with, Evo 4G has a screen size that is unrivaled among smartphones. I am talking about a 4.3 inch large screen that provides substantial room to perform every function possible on a smartphone. You won’t be suffering with cluttered tweets, shrunken websites, or looking at and tapping on icons bundled close together resulting in more than one being tapped on the swame tap. The iPhone 4 on the other hand has a much smaller screen than the Evo, but to its credit, does produce a better resolution of 960 x 640 pixels compared to Evo’s 800 x 480 resolution. Therefore, the Apple iPhone will produce a slightly superior image quality than the EVo. Which one do you prefer?

Evo 4G operates on the Android 2.1 OS platform which has been specially adapted to accomodate the Evo’s theme. As for the iPhone 4, it runs on the iOS 4. It is entirely possible if you are a fan of Mac computers, that you would prefer the iPhone. However, because both of these quality phones cost about the same, it may be a good idea to closely examine the options of both phones making making a decision.

0 Micromax launches world's lightest touch phone

Indian mobile handsets company Micromax Wednesday launched a touch screen smartphone , modu T, in partnership with Israel-based modu Limited to tap the "aspirational" segment of the consumers.

The 3.5G modu T was awarded the Guinness World Record for being the lightest touch phone in the world.

Priced at Rs.12,000, the 2.2-inch touch screen phone will be available in the market with pre-bundled 2GB memory card from Oct 22.

The phone comes with two "fy" devices, jackets, which when connected, add new features to the phone. The "camerafy" jacket converts the phone into a camera with a 5 megapixel resolution and LED flash. Alternatively, you can also "sportfy" your modu T phone and turn it into your exercise companion.

modu is a modular phone, which operates on Qualcomm's Brew operating system, offers a variety of applications such as YouTube, Google Search, Twitter, Facebook Flickr, TuneWiki, eBuddy and Snaptu.

"Innovation has been a driver for Micromax success in India and we believe that by bringing the modu T phone to India, we are targeting the 'aspirational' segment of Indian consumers, who are the early adopters of technology and passionate about electronic gadgets," said Vikas Jain, business director, Micromax.

The company also said it will launch five models in the Brazilian market and is waiting for the approval from Anatel, the telecom regulator of Brazil.

Jain said the company is also looking forward to launch tablets in the market.

"We are exploring the option of bringing tablets... however it depends on the consumer response once the third generation services are available in the market."

The company has also filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with securities and exchange board of India for an initial public offering (IPO).

0 BlackBerry 9000 Bold

BlackBerry 9000 Bold or also known as the BlackBerry Bold is one of the newest BlackBerry smartphones that available in the market today. What’s the difference? Well, compared with the old BlackBerrys, the BlackBerry Bold is much better in both design and features. Just a little note for BlackBerry lovers “don’t worry it’s still huge and classy.” Thanks to RIM (Research in Motion), the manufacturer, the Bold still bring all that you loved about BlackBerrys of old in it.

Design
Well just like what I said earlier, it is still HUGE eventhough of course it is a little flatter than previous models. It looks classy just like previous models but it look modern too because it seems that RIM try to adopt the iPhone design into the Bold. With a silver bezel and black theme of the phone’s body this smartphone looks a lot like the iPhone 3G except that the BlackBerry Bold is broader and it has QWERTY keyboard. Yes, a full QWERTY keyboard, the only important element that the iPhone 3G doesn’t have which make the Bold a better option for business application. The designer also put silver lines separating each line of keys on its full QWERTY keyboard which I think a smart innovation that can help users distinguish between keys on the QWERTY keyboard.

Features
The BlackBerry Bold is a quad-band smartphone with both HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) 3G and GPS navigation. With HSDPA connection and built in Wi-Fi you can now experience fast internet connection in your BlackBerry handset. The on-board GPS receiver unfortunately claimed to be having trouble at loading the maps.

Featuring a 628MHz ARM processor, the BlackBerry Bold sure has more than enough power to run everyday tasks and heavy graphic like video playback and Web page rendering lag free.

The screen is small indeed compared to the iPhone’s screen but that’s not a problem because it is just perfect if you’re use to BlackBerry’s screen size. It also not a touch sensitive screen but you don’t need it in a BlackBerry right? The good point is the display is much improved. With VGA 480 x 320-pixel resolution and the ability to display 65,000 colours, the result is a detailed and very vibrant screen that makes pictures seem to burst forth.

2MP camera that can also capture video is built in the back of the Bold. And to add more multimedia experience in this handset they now provide a 3.5mm headphone input, meaning you can plug in your favorite headphones to listen to music or videos easier.

Well, overall the Blackberry Bold is a great improvement in BlackBerry lines and it sure is a complete smartphone which perfect for corporate and business use. If you interested you can try to read direct Blackberry Bold review from users and find out more about it before you buy it.

0 iPhone on the Cusp of Being a Legit Enterprise Device?

HSBC, a global banking company with roughly 300,000 employees worldwide, currently has about 200,000 RIM blackberry devices issued to employees. It uses them to help the staff stay connected to their mail and calendar.

Arstechnica is reporting that HSBC is now seriously considering switching to iPhones now that it includes Microsoft Exchange support and other enterprisey features like remote-wipe and manageability.

Another prove that iPhone is a phenomenal smartphone. Why don't try to implement it in your company too :D

0 Verizon Wireless to Introduce Linux Phones

Verizon Wireless is backing a free operating system that competes with programs from Microsoft, Google and Qualcomm and expects it to become the "preferred" software on its network.

The No. 2 U.S. mobile service joined a consortium working on a Linux-based mobile operating system expected to rival a mobile system being developed by a group headed by Google.

The announcement follows signals last month that AT&T would support Android, the Linux operating system being developed by Google and about 30 partners.

"Verizon Wireless is demonstrating itself a champion of openness in mobile innovation by joining the board of LiMo Foundation," said Morgan Gillis, executive director of LiMo Foundation. "Major wireless service providers from across North America, Asia and Europe are now engaged in committed collaboration through LiMo. This offers further concrete evidence that LiMo is positioned at the heart of the rapidly emerging, industry-wide trend to secure the benefits of openness and choice in technology."

Verizon Wireless said it would take a seat on the foundation's board and expects to sell its first phones based on the LiMo operating system in 2009.
