2008-03-30T05:23:00.000-07:00

Sony Ericsson has designed a stylish and fashionable new Bluetooth headset that’s directed at their female demographic. The HBH-PV712 Style Edition Bluetooth headset is a small device that has interchangeable panels.This new headset is also equipped with audio enhancing technology, including Digital Signal Processing (SP) and Fast Automatic Volume Adjustment technology that ensures crystal-clear sound in most environments. What would make the product more enticing is the fact that it comes with a silver-plated necklace that has a clip for the headset with a quick release feature for incoming calls. The necklace is decorated with pearls in the same colors (red, silver and black) complimenting the headset and the removable panels it comes with. Weighing a mere 14 grams, the headset provides a whopping 15 hours of talk time. Sony Ericsson accessorises the headest further with a pouch that can store the necklace, headset and panels in a size small enough to fit inside a standard handbag. It comes with a standard 1-year warranty. Bundled articles include the phone and headset pouch, the necklace, two style covers, charger and user guide.It will be available globally in February, 2008 but the price has not yet been disclosed.

Nokia E90 Communicator

2008-03-30T05:19:00.001-07:00

the Big Daddy of all phones! The E90 may look like and perhaps feel like any other communicator, but is it really? The answer is a resounding NO! The previous models, although still quite popular in many arenas has nothing on this baby. With a combination of elegance, style and a sturdy demeanor, the new addition to the business i.e. "E" class of Nokia phones has promised to overshadow its predecessors. But whether or not it can actually live up to that is what we’re here to find out. So let's get to it. Form FactorAlthough the design is quite like any Communicators of yore, this one has a few upgrades. For example this is the first to have a fully functional ‘External Phone’ with a 16million color display and a resolution of 240x320 pixels. The reason I refer to it as an ‘External Phone’ is simply because it pretty much looks like any other Nokia phone inside some sort of shell. Whatever a normal S60 phone can do, the outer phone can do as well. No exceptions this time. This may also be the first time Nokia has placed the power switch on the side of the screen rather than on top. The rear houses the 3.2 megapixel, Auto-Focus camera with a flash and the speakers. At the very bottom you'll notice a little flap, which is where the microSD card can be inserted. All you have to do is slide it open and insert the card. The bottom is where you’ll find the mini USB (2.0), charger pin and a 2.5mm earphone socket. What’s most noticeable are the two steel hinges. This is another factor that sets the E90 apart from the previous models. The steel hinges make the phone a lot sturdier and add a certain rugged appeal to it. On the side are 2 keys. The one on the top is a dedicated voice recorder key, and the one at the bottom just below the infrared sensor, is the shutter release key for the camera. However, it's not a dedicated key to activate it which is quite odd. Flip it open and this is where all the magic happens. The large internal screen is what this phone is all about with a crystal clear resolution of 800x352 pixels and 16 million colors. On the sides of this fabulous screen are 2 pairs of keys. On the right just underneath the secondary camera is a set of call take and end keys and on the other side of the screen is a set of soft keys. But I don’t like the positioning too much as they’re a bit too far from the nav-pad, so you end up having to adjust your hold every now and again when selecting options. The Full QWERTY keypad makes the E90 look like a miniaturized laptop. At the very top of the keypad Nokia has graciously provided us with direct shortcut keys to various functions and one key to call your own (Open key). There’s also a separate key to switch on the keypad light when it's dark and on the other side of the keypad is a five way Nave-Pad. So that’s it for the design of this big boy. Let's see what he’s capable of doing.

LG launches GSM counterpart of Venus

2008-03-30T05:14:00.000-07:00

LG has launched the KF600 EDGE (GSM version of Venus VX8800) mobile phone equipped with a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera and new InteractPad touch screen constituting the lower portion of the display and allowing easy navigation of menus. The KF600 actually has a slide out keypad, so it’s not fully touch sensitive. It’s equipped with Bluetooth, presumably with an A2DP profile as well. There’s no word on pricing and availability in India but we're hoping we will see a launch in the near future. Watch this space.

Movon MK20 Handsfree Car Kit

2008-03-30T05:12:00.000-07:00

My first impression of the Movon MK20 was that it's a glorified handsfree device. I may not be completely wrong in my judgment, but I most certainly do not think it’s a waste of my time. On the contrary, I've had much fun at the expense of my phone bill. Simply put, the MK20 is a device that can be used to place and take calls without having to touch your phone at all. Of course, the use is limited to your car, just so you concentrate on driving for a change. The device comes with a mic and speakers to facilitate the whole thing. The device has a magnetic spot at the back to attach it to the sun visor clamp. What’s cool about this is that the device is so light that a strong magnet keeps it place, yet doesn’t require much force to detach. The MK20 has a 2.2-inch LCD screen, which can be adjusted in three steps. It has three buttons hugging the screen, for call, cancel and hotline. Once the device is thoroughly charged, you will need to pair it with your phone. It’s very easy! Press and hold the hotline key, and the Bluetooth receiver will be activated in a couple of seconds. The blinking blue light next to the screen indicates it's live.
Next you'll need to look for the device using your phone, and while pairing, key in 0000 to seal the deal! Next click on the 'connect to device' option in your phone and you are ready to go. The coolest thing is that you don’t need to repeat all this every time you want to use it. Just pull the screen out and it will automatically form the connection in a matter of seconds.
