It seems Motorola is all charged up and reviving their mobile department. They will be launching a new smartphone named as “droid” with a 5mpx camera and all other goodies. Also they have already started taking pot shots at iPhone . Well, I am not against constructive criticism but to be honest till now there are negligible no. of phones who actually came near to iPhone stature.
So, lets see what this phone has to offer in real and doesn’t end up like others biting the dust. I would be waiting for this one’s release. In the mean time you can enjoy the video as part of droid promotion.
Although details are pretty sketchy at this point of time, but Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft and Verizon are in talks to release a touchscreen-based multimedia phone which will extend the Windows Mobile OS with some additional software capabilities. And it will have Windows Marketplace integrated as well.
So can this be a “Zune Phone” finally coming to life after being just a rumor, well not sure as the WSJ report doesn’t mention the Zune device at all. Also the report mentions that the phone will be developed by 3rd party.
With Palm Pre coming releasing pretty soon and now this new mystery “Pink” phone might give the new gen iPhone a good fight after all . We just have to wait and watch.
Meizu M8 is as we all know is one of the most talked about iPhone clone in the market and its being sold in China although there is not much details about the sale numbers.
There were few reviews of M8 which we covered here and here. But now its finally landed on Engadget hands, so expect a pretty detailed review of M8. In mean time do check out the M8 unboxing and hands on on Engadget.
Following our previous post about HTC Diamond 2, today we are covering HTC Touch Pro 2 which is another new offering from HTC having a slider Qwerty keyboard. Specs look pretty impressive too.

Royal Bank of Canada charted and prepared a list of Emerging iPhone Contenders. The chart includes and compares key features, data plans, app store details etc of phones like Palm Pre, G1 , HTC Diamond classified by their OS.
Check out the chart below(click to enlarge) :
The list is impressive and it may help people who want to look out for iPhone alternatives and decide what suits them. But is it worth the trouble, go for iPhone and you will be happy every after
Major mobile phone company owners declared that by 2012 every mobile will have a same power socket and will be able to use any USB charger, so no more searching and buying separate chargers for different mobiles you have.
Mobile Companies which signed up for the initiative are :
Nokia, LG, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson
So as you can see, almost all the major mobile phone companies of the world are there except Apple and hence there is no news till now that Apple will be participating in the initiative. Although the initiative will be finished by 2012 and probably by that time Apple will change its mind .
. Well, I am not against constructive criticism but to be honest till now there are negligible no. of phones who actually came near to iPhone stature.
. We just have to wait and watch.
