We’ve seen phones that push the boundaries of chintziness, but this newfangled MP7 phone really shows what humans are capable of when they’ve no motivation to assemble a decent product. Granted, most everything here is lost in translation, but the blatant “Blue tooth” logo on the front pretty much sets it up for disaster. Nevertheless, this GSM handset reportedly comes in silver or black and features a 320 x 240 touchscreen display, a 1.3-megapixel camera, built-in FM tuner and support for some form of mobile TV along with the elusive “MP7″ format. Best of all, this marvelous gem of handset engineering can be had for $599.90 (or a dozen easy payments of $59.99)

The well known and respected iPhone hacker Nate True has discovered some very, very interesting information concerning Apple’s latest update, 1.1.3. According to Mr. True, the boys and girls in Cupertino have all but prepped the device’s OS for native applications, altering the functionality of SpringBoard to display additional apps, changing the ownership of applications to a unified “mobile” user, and moving the location of preferences to the accompanying non-root directory. Additionally, SpringBoard now boasts widget support via a class called SBWidgetApplication. All of these technical and seemingly minor details will apparently make it easier for developers to create new applications for the phone, though Nate says they’ll also break existing native apps in the process. All we ask is that developers get those NES and SNES emulators ported quickly and safely to the new system.

The Dark Age of Nokia’s CDMA relations may be finally drawing to a close. After a series of forgettable rebranded Pantechs (seriously Nokia, what the crap was up with that?), we were encouraged last year by the introduction of the rather low-end 2135 candybar, an honest-to-goodness Nokia that seemed to indicate Nokia / Qualcomm relations might — might be warming. This device features EV-DO data and Bluetooth, but that’s about all we can gather from the few FCC docs that aren’t protected by the confidentiality clause at the moment; we don’t know who it might be headed for, whether it runs S40 or S60, or any other juicy little bits of information that would make the Nokia faithful on Verizon and Sprint drool.

A nokia cdma network on nokia
phones is faster than a gsm network. Unlike CDMA networks, GSM used in samsung
phones, has wider coverage without roaming charges. The mobile phones which use CDMA have
greater advantage over GSM. Now when every house has at least a computer printer and scanner, every
person should have cell phones and pdas
for every purpose. The cell
phone importance is pretty high since it allows greater efficiency
in the business. The hp printers
are also a must for organizations efficiency.

Judging by five mysterious images that surfaced over at Mobile-Review, it appears that Nokia’s N96 (the N95’s successor?) has indeed leaked out, and while no specifications are available, we can surmise that it’ll boast a 5-megapixel camera (with the obligatory Carl Zeiss lens), a dual LED flash and a sexy black motif. Peep the read link for more pictorial delight.
