The challenge of the design brief was to create a design solution that enabled greater and easier levels of user interaction. The easy to understand keypad combined with the hand-writing recognition technology provides great information ergonomics for the user. Another of the video phone key selling points is its dual mode functionality. The phones keypad can be locked into place to provide a sturdy stand/rest to allow users to sit back enjoy the video calling experience.

The Spice X-1 phone features a 2.4 inch display that comes with an auto rotate function, 2GB expandable memory card, the Yamaha-amplified 3-D surround-sound, 2 Megapixel camera, music and video player, FM Radio with record-and-play support, stereo Bluetooth and built-in Opera mini-web browser along with WAP/MMS/GPRS support.

Garmin-Asus nüvifone G60 heads for MWC ‘09
Some of the nüvifone G60’s features include a generous 3.55″ display which boasts a trio of primary icons – “Call,” “Search,” and “View Map.” There are secondary icons as well that appear on the side of the home screen, and these can be organized according to your own preference. Icons can be scrolled up and down using the swipe of a finger, while the integrated accelerometer allows you to view each screen in either portrait or landscape orientation, depending on what you’re looking at. Designers of the nüvifone G60 developed it in mind with an LBS-centric design philosophy, where location information is integrated with everyday applications such as email, SMS, photo sharing, social networking and more. Sounds fun, but not so if you’ve informed your boss that you have to take a week off to attend your grandmother’s funeral in Ohio while the G60 shows that you’re in Miami instead.
There is no word on pricing or availability, but we expect the G60 to be out sometime before the first half of 2009 is over. Nice to see more smartphones hit the market to heat up the competition.

Cool8800C - Cheap Flip Phone With Gaming Console
The Cool8800C looks like any other cheap cell phone in it’s closed state. It’s only when the flip phone is opened does it reveal a portable handheld game console that is compatible with NES games.
When I saw this phone, i began to doubt, what is it? Is it really a phone? On first sight, it is just a plain bar phone. But if you hold it in your hand and study carefully, you will discover that it is also a flip phone. The outer keyboard and display can be unfolded, and then another 2.8 inch large display appears, 2 seperate keypads beside the display just like keys of PSP. And friend, it also has powerful functions such as dual sim dual standby, Analog TV, magical voice.
Other then this unique feature, the other features of the Cool8800C are fairly typical and include a 2.2″ display, MP3/MP4 player, FM Radio, alarm clock, and 3 games.
You can buy this phone for $140, but because this model does not work on the 900/1800MHz networks, it is not suited for the North American markets.
LG GD900 - See Thru Phone
LG has announced their new handset called the LG GD900. First presented at the Mobile World Congress, this cool mobile phone includes a see-thru keypad.
Apple has had a lot of success with their minimalist designs and it looks like LG is following suit. The GD900 “proves that stylish design can be achieved not only with the use of vivid colours, but also by revealing the handset in its purest form.”
When the phone is opened for use, the keypad lights up, adding to the beauty of this phone. The LG900 is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2009 at which time, further details about the mobile phone specifications will become available.

This is not an old-fashioned phone
And it will never be, there’s no doubt about it. Because this phone wasn’t meant to become obsolete. Maybe some of you don’t care very much about the phone they use as long as they have the chance to do what they’re supposed to do: communicate with the world outside. But there’s a special category of people who want to own the latest phone models, being some sort of a statement of their welfare and status. I don’t believe in such “symbols”, but who am I to judge those who do?
But what if you could do something in order to have the same phone, but still benefit the evolution of technology? Well, those who give this issue a deep thought came up with the Sustainable Mobile Phone, designed by Will Orrock, being a device that is designed to last… forever.
Now, let’s see how in earth is this concept possible, ‘cause like it or not, this is only a concept. The design is based on two major components: layers and upgrade. First of all, there are four different layers: the battery, the OLED display wrap, a high-strength polymer housing and the printed circuit board. What’s very important about these four layers is that they can be tackled separately.
The second component, as I said earlier, is the upgrade. So, the hardware AND software can be upgraded so that the user can enjoy the latest trends that one can find in the market at a specific point. The eco-friendly part of the phone is that the discarded parts can be recycled.
If this concept will ever hit the mass production, there will never be an old-fashioned phone in the market.
Chairman SmartPhone
A Swiss watchmaker named Ulysse Nardin is building a smartphone named the Chairman. The Chairman is a phone that uses kinetic energy to keep it’s self powered.
The phone harvests it’s needed energy from motion. The motion is converted in to electrical power which if moved around enough can keep it powered. There are no details just yet on the technical specs like what processor it will have built in, what type of screen and how big the screen is. Nor is there any information on if it will be Windows Mobile based or some other OS. What we do know is that it’s a very limited edition phone with only 1846 being made. With that in mind we can assume that it’s going to be rather pricey too.

Sony intros new EX-series earbud headphones
Sony unveils its new addition to the EX-series earbud headphones in the form of four new earphones that are a blend of amazing sound, stylish looks and comfort.
These earphones let you choose among three distinct hybrid silicone rubbera tips. It’s a mixture of soft external silicone and rigid internal silicone, thus giving a right fit with minimum sound leakage.
The MDR-EX300LP and MDR-EX500LP adorns a vertical in the ear design with a larger driver that ensures high quality audio. While the MDR-EX33LP and MDR-EX35LP provide enriched sound as said to be the lowest priced EX-Series headphones.
Sony Ericsson's 12 Megapixels mobile
Well, they were first to announce an 8 megapixel mobile phone in the UK (the Sony Ericsson C905), and if rumours are to be believed, it won’t be long before they’re dropping what I’d like to call the double-figure bombshell on us.
Put simply, it’s rumoured on Mobile Mentalism that Sony Ericsson are in the process of designing a mobile phone with a HUGE 12 megapixel camera in it!
(Just to point out, before anyone gets excited, that pic just to the right, ISN’T it…)
Hmmm, let’s analyse that, shall we? Certainly it’s true that Sony Ericsson are on a mission to push the boundaries of camera phones with their cyber-Shot series, and let’s not forget, it came as a bit of a surprise when they announced an 8 megapixel mobile phone. 12 megapixels is certainly do-able, but it’ll all depend on how big the sensor is… basically, if it’s too vast, then the mobile phone itself will be immense.
Mind you, it does tie in with rumours earlier in the year that Sony Ericsson weren’t going to push the megapixel barrier much past 12, anyway, since when you get to that figure, there’s not much point, unless the camera’s lenses and whatnots are up to snuff. So, the plan was to hit about 12 megapixels, then focus on making the other bits better. From that point of view, this new rumour does seem to fit in.
And let’s be honest, who can’t see Sony Ericsson making 12 megapixel mobile phones??
The other bit of the rumour is that Sony Ericsson will be giving this mystery 12 megapixel mobile phone an iPhone-esque touchscreen, based around the touch version of Symbian S60. Hmmm, that one I’m not so sure about. They still have UIQ, for the time being, until the Symbian Foundation kicks off properly, and UIQ have a new version (as on the Sony Ericsson G900) all prepped and ready to go. Seems a bit odd they’d jump ship to making S60 mobile phones this early in the game, especially since that’d mean licensing it from Nokia, their arch-enemies.
And as for the second mobile phone rumoured to be on its way, a Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot, aimed at the text-happy youth market, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, that seems a bit more of a jump. If anything, I would’ve guessed the Walkman range would get QWERTY keyboards before their Cyber-Shot mobile phones did… and if I’m honest, I can see Sony Ericsson keeping QWERTY keyboards just for their Xperia mobile phones.
So, what are we to believe?
Well, given that the Sony Ericsson C905 is only just due to go on sale, soon, they’re not officially going to announce anything yet, I reckon. And although I reckon it’s a fairly safe bet Sony Ericsson will make a 12 megapixel mobile phone in future
$10 Billion Revenues from Mobile Games
Mobile games revenues generated by end-users will reach $10 billion by 2009, according to a study performed by Juniper Research, due to the fact that casual gaming’s popularity is increasing and the range of mobile phones supporting high quality 3D graphics for core games becomes
wider.
By 2009, at least 460 million users are expected to download mobile games, which represents an increase with more than 100% on the current mobile games downloads. An important role in this growing will be played by emerging markets like the Indian one, where the number of users is expected to reach about 40 million in 2009, from the 10 million of 2007.
“Game downloads have already overtaken those of ringtones in a number of Western European markets,” says Dr. Windsor Holden, the report’s author, “while mobile handsets are now the de facto games console in many developing countries.”
The Juniper Research report also reveals that the high cost of browsing and downloading content or services together with often unfriendly pricing structures continue to be an impediment to mobile gaming adoption. Furthermore, the report adds that game publishers and developers should enlarge the number of games offered as free trials in order to make a higher number of gamers to play and eventually become buyers.
“Essentially, the proportion of leading titles focusing on action and adventure has not altered discernibly over the past two years,” Dr. Holden said. “While these are popular within the traditional gaming demographic, there is a major opportunity to attract casual gamers by enhancing a portfolio mix with more titles from alternative genres.”
In the near future, the largest regional market for mobile games will remain China and the Far East, providing, in 2012, revenues of about $5.7 billion. Also, the global in-game advertising revenues will rise from the current $90 million to more than $1.2 billion in 2012, Juniper Research says.
Will Skype-Nokia Deal Revolutionize Mobile Video Calling?
Last week, Skype and Nokia went on a deal to pre-install Skype on upcoming Nokia N-series devices. This news had been a big story of February 2009 and the geeks are just wondering around for the easiness of free calls over mobiles. Skype is preparing to launch for Symbian Devices with the upcoming Nokia beast - The Nokia N97. The phone is expected to launch in Q3 of 2009 and will be the first Nokia symbian device ever to have Skype. Making Video calls over the phone will surely be fun but the question is “Will Skype bring the fu

Sony Ericsson's most powerful Cyber-shot phone yet
It's true when they say the best stuff can usually be found in Japan only. While the rest of the world is ogling at the latest mobiles from Sony Ericsson at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Japanese-Swedish phone maker has already announced in Japan the W61S--possibly the most feature-packed Cyber-shot to date.
Set to debut with operator KDDI this March/April, the W61S is loaded with an extensive camera feature set that puts it almost on par with some midrange standalone cameras. Onboard are a 5.11-megapixel CMOS sensor (employing the same "Exmor" technology as the Sony Alpha dSLRs) and 3x optical zoom lens. In addition to anti-shake and autofocus, the camera-phone also comes with Kaokime Lite (auto brightness with face detection for natural skin tones) and Smile Shutter Lite (similar to the Smile Shutter for the T200).
What's noteworthy about the W61S is that its cutting-edge features extend beyond its camera profile. For instance, it comes with onboard GPS which allows geotagging of images. A 2.8-inch WVGA (480×800) screen equipped with Bravia technology will also be something worth looking out for, not to mention a microSD card slot, Bluetooth, TV-out, LED flash and automatic lens cover. Unfortunately, the W61S will work on only CDMA 1XWIN networks supporting EV-DO Rev.A technology. So until a GSM version comes out, if it ever does, this remains pretty much a Japan-only handset for the rest of the Asia and the world to get green-eyed over.

Sony Ericsson’s W595 Cosmopolitan Edition makes poor substitute for actual flora
You know that a handset is getting close to overstaying its welcome when the special editions start knocking on the door, but Sony Ericssons’s W595 slider has only been around for a few months, so we’re going to cut it some slack this time around. The so-called Cosmopolitan Edition adds a floral theme in white and red, but it doesn’t stop there — you’ve also got a floral charm, a custom UI skin, and five, count ‘em, five pre-loaded music tracks. No word on pricing, but you can expect to see it around Western Europe at some point this month.

Well, it’s not a totally transparent phone and the screen is opaque. It’s the glow-in-the-dark keyboard that is transparent and the keys are etched on the surface.
There is not information in the company press release on phone specs. Maybe LG wants to focus attention on the unconventional appeal of this slider phone. What we do know is that the LG GD900 has a 13.4mm-thick body, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, and a camera in the front for video calls. Most information till now is based on visual observation rather than tactile experience. The phone has a silver-gray body.
