The beTouch Acer E130 touch screen is combined with an additional full-size QWERTY keyboard. Nevertheless, the new smartphone is therefore in the candy bar format. Both phones camera comes with a resolution of 3.2 megapixels and a built-in flash. For fast data transfers, it has HSDPA and WLAN. An FM radio and a Bluetooth interface are also on board.

Facebook Mobile

Facebook phone is coming soon? Supposedly working employees of the largest social network in the world on its own smartphone, which will be customized for the mobile use of Facebook. What can the Facebook, and on how it looks, but is still completely open. Facebook is currently developing the software for a smartphone that will be produced by another company. The strategy is very similar to Google's luck-less high-tech Nexus One. The first "Google Phone" was made by HTC, but carried the Google logo. What could be the manufacturer for the production of the Facebook mobile phones responsible has not said.



Nor is it clear whether the device is sold exclusively in Facebook label. Another previously unanswered question is whether Facebook created a completely new operating system or relies on an existing OS such as Android and it changed only a few. In contrast to the technical details after all, the staff is working for the development of Facebook mobile. But the assumption is that there will be, for the Facebook phone more of a starter device as a high-end smartphone. When and if the Facebook mobile is actually on the market is still wide open.

Nokia Touch Mobile C7 and C6

At the Nokia World in London, the mobile phone manufacturer has introduced two interesting smartphones from the middle class. Both new Nokia phones offer a range of facilities, are among the A-GPS, n-WLAN, UMTS with HSDPA and HSUPA, Bluetooth 3.0 and an 8 megapixel camera. 

Nokia C7, that manufacturer a price of 429 euros, which is in view of the variety of equipment, is a good price. For fast wireless Internet connections are standard for n-and UMTS with HSDPA (up to 10.2 Mbps downstream) and HSUPA (up to 2 Mbit / s upstream) is available. The 8-megapixel camera can be used for recording video in HD quality (720p) and has a dual LED photo light. The second camera for video telephony offers VGA resolution (640 by 480 pixels). Further connections to offer Bluetooth 3.0 and a micro-USB port with charging function. Some main features are it comes with USB On-The-Go cable and Ovi Maps software. The Nokia C7 is not only equipped with an RDS-enabled FM radio, but also has an FM transmitter. It therefore has its own small FM radio stations can be received with as music from the phone to your car radio. 8 GB internal memory does the Nokia C7 already and microSD cards, the memory can be up to 32 GB and slightly expand, not least favorable. The question is whether this target group enough of the 3.5 AMOLED touch screen with a resolution of only 640 by 360 pixels.



Largely the same features, the Nokia C6-01, which however has only a simple case without metal and glass. The screen measures just 3.2 inches in addition to the diagonal. However, here comes the new Displaytech "Clear Black" for use at the point make a polarized coating for better readability in the open. Other differences compared to the Nokia C6 and Nokia C7 is it’s weaker battery, its slightly larger dimensions of 103.8 times 52.5 times 13.9 mm and with 340 MB internal memory is much smaller. For this is a 2 GB microSD card included. The Nokia C6-01 will be sold for 349 euros and like the Nokia C7 will come this year on the market.

Of course, N8 includes WLAN (with the fast n standard), Bluetooth N8 (version 2.1) and GPS on board of Nokia. 



Thus the N8 never out of breath is reacted with Nokia on the use of an ARM 11 processor with 680 MHz and an additional 3D hardware accelerator. Highlight is and remains the camera of the N8, which provides 12 megapixels and can record video at 720p. Much is expected from the new version of Symbian 3 OS. Symbian 3 supports multiple home screens and should be made for social networks. Since apps are increasingly important to support Symbian 3, the Qt cross platform and UI framework. This leads to the run those apps under both Symbian, as well as under MeeGo, the other smartphone operating system from Nokia. Unfortunately, the initial reactions to the new operating system are rather low. The hardware and especially the camera of the N8 were still generally seen as positive; it seems to happen to the software.

The capacitive AMOLED touchscreen with 4 inch Display very large, but offers only 640 by 360 pixels. For the business use the display resolution is high enough, however.



Thus the new Smartphone has Bluetooth 3.0, n-WLAN, A-GPS, USB 2.0 (with charge function for the battery), HDMI, 3D accelerator, Dolby Digital Plus surround sound and an FM radio with RDS. The 8 megapixel camera with dual LED photo light can record video in HD resolution (720p, 16:9 formats). A second camera on the previous page, which is for video telephony, is, after all, VGA resolution (640 by 480 pixels). For fast online connections on the road provides UMTS with HSDPA (up to 10.2 Mbps) and HSUPA (up to 2 Mbit / s) available. The internal memory is 16 GB.
