Sometimes people with money buy things that aren’t actually worth the money. I don’t know if diamonds help to make your signal stronger, but I highly doubt it.
I am not saying that all expensive phones are not worth the price, but you be the judge.
The cheapest phone on this list costs around $28,000 and the most expensive is priced at over $1.3 million dollars. Read the rest of this entry »
Motorola today announced the availability of its latest Ferrari branded cell-phone based on the RAZR2 V9. The first country to receive the phone is Singapore with the RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition being available exclusively to SingTel subscribers.
If you’re wondering why, look no further than to the 2008 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix that’s sponsored by SingTel
As you’d expect, the only differences between the original RAZR2 V9 and the Ferrari Special Edition model apart from the pricing, are purely cosmetic. Read the rest of this entry »
The world’s top cellphone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) unveiled two new phone models aimed at corporate clients on Monday, revamping its somewhat aging offering to business customers.
The new sliding model E66, and the E71, with full keyboard, both start shipping in July and will retail for around 350 euros ($538), excluding operator subsidies and local taxes.
Models for corporate clients usually last longer in phone makers’ portfolios than the consumer-focused phones, but nine months have already passed since Nokia introduced the E51, its last phone model for corporate clients. Read the rest of this entry »
Remember those three BlackBerry 9000 units that showed up on eBay? As I made note in an earlier post, when the auction got pulled by the powers that be (err.. RIM?!!) there were still two units remaining, leaving one Crazy BlackBerry Addict anxiously waiting for the delivery of this next generation BlackBerry smartphone.
As luck would have it, it turns out I’m the Crazy BlackBerry Addict! When mention of the eBay 9000s came up in the forums, there was plenty of discussion as to whether the devices were legit or not. The images accompanying the auction seemed too good to be photoshopped and were unlike any other leaked 9000 pictures I had encountered previously, so it only took a few minutes to make the decision to click the Buy it Now button and PayPal over the funds.

We came, we saw, we blogged, or Venimus, Vidimus, Blogimus, as they used to say in Roman times. HTC’s press release for the Touch Diamond is after the gallery.

Samsung is following up the love-it or hate-it Chocolate, and the Shine, with its third “Black Label” device: the as-yet unnamed cellphone you can see here.
It looks a more serious and slender beast than the first two, and sports a five megapixel camera, tempered glass and a carbon-fiber finish. Read the rest of this entry »
2008 is shaping up to be the year of the 5-megapixel camera phone. And we couldn’t be more excited.
Let’s face it, the crummy, submegapixel imaging chips crammed into most phones today take awful-looking photos.
The iPhone’s 2-megapixel camera is an improvement, but even its photos look crummy next to a standard-issue digital camera from five years ago. Read the rest of this entry »
We have already seen some of the phones in LGs KF lineup, and now it seems that the company will be showing off a few more phones at next week’s CeBIT show in Germany.
The KF750 codenamed “Libra” appears to be a touchscreen slider with a 5 megapixel camera, VGA cam for video calls, and 160MB of internal memory with a microSD card slot.
As for the KF240 and the KF300, little is known other than the 240 is apparently a music phone with a 2 megapixel camera. At any rate, we should know more in the coming days. Read the rest of this entry »
Why is Nokia always trying to outdo everyone with its fancy-schmancy concepts and designs? Why can’t they just get in line and keep it simple?
We may never know the answer to those questions, but what we do know is that the company is presenting a new concept device called the Morph that would be right at home… in the year 3000.
The unit is included in the MoMA’s “Design and the Elastic Mind” exhibition catalog, and boasts the ability to stretch and flex to almost any shape a user could think of. Read the rest of this entry »
Even in the digital era, photos are much better when they are printed on paper. They feel somehow… material when they are printed, after a century of usual film cameras we are accustomed to a printed image.
That’s why many owners of digital cameras prefer to print their best photos. If you remember the days of mid 90s, then you will remember the boom of instant film cameras that produced an already printed image.
The main company behind that cameras was Polaroid. Now, film cameras look archaically, surrendering their position to digital ones. But Polaroid does not surrender - it comes with a similar idea, but adapted to the modern market. Read the rest of this entry »
