- One of the most important things that have happened this week is certainly the announcement of Samsung’s first 12MP camera phone, the Pixon12. However, shortly after, a spy photo revealed another 12MP Samsung, which had a label saying 3X optical zoom. Whether it is real, we still do not know.
- Of course, this week can´t have passed without the mandatory iPhone rumor. It was the back panel this time, placed next to the original iPhone casing. Check it out.
- An interesting word have spread, saying that LG have plans to manufacture a 12MP phone with HD video capturing capabilities. We hope we hear more about it soon enough!
- Sony Ericsson has finally decided to get rid of its M2 standard for memory cards and the manufacturer has already started putting microSD slot into its newly announced models.
- It seems Garmin-Asus is to follow suit after other smartphone manufacturers, since the word has it the company will roll out an Android phone no later than Q1 2010.
- For the fans of Sony Ericsson-branded WM smartphones made by HTC, the Xperia X2 is said to have been photographed.
- Users of luxury phones can now take advantage of Mobiado’s finest, the Grand350PRL. It is unlawfully expensive and features a full front-facing QWERTY keyboard. On the other hand, why should anyone shell out all this money for a luxury business phone if you can just go for the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, officially announced by Verizon. Or… if you are into signing up with AT&T, the carrier now offers the BlackBerry Bold and the BlackBerry Curve 8900 at lower prices.
- Advertisements have been popping around the web this week, pointing at a June 24 event that is to be hosted by HTC. Some speculations on the matter suggest the Taiwanese company is to announce its next Android phone – the HTC Hero.
- While pushing technology to its limits is a cool thing, someone has to take care of nature eventually and it seems like the guys from Sony Ericsson are the right ones to do it. The C901 GreenHeart and the Naite are their first shot at commercial, eco-friendly phones.
- Verizon has finally released its update for the first touchscreen BlackBerry smartphone. We are happy to see it´s worth the waiting. Check out our hands-on experience.
