  • The Flip, Slider and Nero are the three new handsets by Onyx. All three are dual-SIM devices that allow simultaneous use of two SIM cards. The most high-tech of them, the Nero, features 2.4-inch touch sensitive screen, 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and FM radio.The Slider that comes in between in terms of specs comes equipped with the same camera, in a dual slider form factor and sports quite large loudspeakers, while the Flip is an affordable solution lacking all the rage extras.

  • New coating heralds the end of the screen fingerprint era! Delegates at the 238th American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition have discussed the development of a new coating that will not only protect screens from fingerprints, but eliminate reflections due to exposure to direct sunlight. Fingers crossed the new technology takes off soon, but now it´s about time we got around to cleaning up the screens of our favorite handsets with the sleeves of our favorite shirts for the 238th time today.
