Yeah, so it a new phone and it does everything you’d expect and more. Check it out after the break in video in all it’s glory. I don’t think naming your phone after a fruit will gain you as much success as Apple’s iPhone, but that won’t stop people from trying.
As mentioned in our Podcast LG have hinted that they will be utilising something called the Prada Link on the upcoming Prada II. A winning combination of phone and watch will allow a Bluetooth link between a wrist based time piece that updates you on all that is happening in your pocket (sorry, in hindsight that sounds worrying.)
Given all the announcements concerning Windows Mobile 7 CNBC have revealed that Microsoft are planning a Zune Phone. The quoted date is Jan 09 for our first taste, going against all the information relating to 6.5 and the big 7. Could Microsoft be focusing on this rather than delivering the goods for the loyal WM legions out there. Read on for more information.
At long last Samsung have seen sense and announced that the i780 front facing QWERTY Windows Mobile Professional device will be getting an update to Windows Mobile 6.1. When we reviewed this device it was excellent and the only thing stopping me from buying it was that there was no update to 6.1. Now that has changed this will be my Windows Mobile device of choice. They state that the i780 will be available with 6.1 from November as part of the BizBee branding.
When the Nokia N95 came out more than 18 months ago it was pretty much an over night success. It was also one of the first devices that I recorded an unboxing video of.
Since then there have been a couple of versions of the N95 and then a few months ago Nokia announced the updated N96. It’s taken a little while to get my hands on one but finally managed to get my hands on one earlier this week.
Nokia N96
I thought the best way to cover the N96 was to let our review Mark, who is an N95 owner, put it through its paces for a few weeks. So while he is playing with the new N96 and putting together the review I thought I’d share the unboxing video with you:
