    Motorola Atrix Review

    Motorola-Atrix-big The Motorola Atrix is said to be the most powerful smartphone and on paper it seems to be so: 1 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, 1GB RAM, qHD screen, 8MP camera and 720p video recording are all impressive but for some Motoblur’s inclusion may be the deciding factor for making a purchase or not.

    Specs are not the only cool things on paper going for the Atrix as it can be docked into a laptop dock so you can carry your entire office around with you, all being powered by the Atrix!

    So does the claim live up to fact in reality? Is Motoblur bad enough to hinder a purchase? Should this be your next smartphone? Read on to find out!

    Symbian Anna update to be made available for download in July

    Nokia

    We have mentioned ‘Anna’ before, the forthcoming update to Nokias Symbian devices, however over at the Nokia Connection event in Singapore CEO Stephen Elop has confirmed the the the Anna update will be available next month (July) for download.

    The Nokia N8, C7, C6-01 and E7 will qualify for the update and will bring an improved homescreen, redesigned interface icons, portrait QWERTY keypad, a new web browser and improved Ovi Maps.

    I must say that the new N9 looks much better in my opinion but not being a Symbian user I am not really in a position to be an expert on this.

    HTC Sensation review

    htc sensation reviewWhen HTC announced 5 new phones at MWC earlier this year there was some criticism that there wasn’t a dual-core model there in the lineup. With LG and Samsung there with handsets featuring dual-core CPU’s the expectation was that HTC should at least be following the competition, lets face it, HTC are more accustomed to being leaders rather than followers.

    However, maybe the critics should have had a little more faith that HTC had something up their sleeves as less than two months after MWC, HTC were holding their own press even here in London to announce the new HTC Sensation. Not only does it include the much coveted dual-core CPU but includes a 540 x 960 resolution QHD display which is the first to have a Gorilla Glass screen that’s curved on all edges.

    Other new features such as HTC Sense 3.0 and the 8 mega-pixel camera with instant capture technology and 1080P video recording means that not only is this certainly HTC’s flagship handset but it’s also one of the best specified on the market today.

    I’ve been using the sensation for a little over a week, so if you want to find out what I think of it you’ll have to read on!

    Nokia announce the N9

    nokia main

    Nokia have today officially announced the new N9 to the world. The N9 runs MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan and comes packed with some pretty decent specifications.

    Size wise the N9 comes with a 3.9 inch WVGA display complete with curved Gorilla glass. Under the hood we have a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor and camera wise this one looks to be fantastic too, sporting an 8mp auto-focus Carl Zeiss lens, double LED flash and HD video recording at 720p.

    Available in three colours, pink, black and blue Nokia have stated that the N9 will be available sometime this year, although some reports are saying this could be within a month. Let’s hope so. This one looks good.

    You can see the full specs below along with a demo video.
