Did you see that the FCC paparazzi are at it again? Today's feature photo is for a Sony device that Engadget sleuths out as roughly 9.5" x 4.5". I think that their size guess-timate is actually a little large and I suspect that this isn't a netbook in the traditional sense. Of course, my guess is no better than anyone else's, but here's my thought process: Based on the length and width ratio seen in the picture, this form factor is crying out to me as the clamshell resurrected. I suppose you could say all netbooks are "clamshell" to...
A third party company has created an authorised clamshell version of the iPhone for sale in China, whoever said clams and apples wouldn’t mix. One of the most interesting leaks of late came to us from the mobile phone news website site shanzhaij, with images that are truly amazing and we hope are for real. They’ve compared it to a crosspollination between the Motorola RAZR V8 and the iPhone; we can see where they were going with this. Obviously Apple will have nothing to say or to do with the handset and we won’t even waste our time trying to...
We’ve seen our share of knock-offs coming out of China, but this one is downright funny. They’ve taken the iPhone and turned it into a clamshell style phone. Funny thing is, it resembles a MacBook more then an actual iPhone. It is attractive with the brushed aluminum casing and the iPhone look inside, but I’m guessing that performance isn’t up to par. Surprisingly, the camera is 3-megapixels, more than on most mid to low-end phones. It also sports a 2.6-inch display with a resolution of 240 x 320. It’s pretty small at 105 x 53 x 17mm and about 110...
There were rumors about Apple planning a flip iPhone. But, till now, we still haven’t heard of any movement from Apple. The Chinese now have taken one step ahead of Apple, rolled out an iPhone clamshell. And of course, this is a clone which is not from the original factory of Apple. This flip iPhone comes from the mainland of cloned phones, China but is made to carry the Apple logo. The maker of this cloned handset even gives the phone a name called iPhone V126 clamshell. It looks pretty attractive and comes in the brushed aluminum casing. But the...
Meet the “iPhone” V126. It’s not the real deal though you may be fooled if you were to give it a quick … [visit site to read more]...
We've seen our fair share of phony iPhones here before, but this is the first time I've seen a company take a more ingenious approach to copycatting and, I dare say, I wouldn't mind if the real iPhone took a page out of this guy's book one day. I introduce you to the iPhone Flip. The phone measures 105 x 53 x 17mm, and weighs roughly 110 grams. It comes with a .3MP camera, a 2.6-inch screen with a 240 x 320 resolution, the ability to play mp3s and mp4s and some “built-in” games. Also note the plastic “brushed...
The former wood-pulp millers have just made public their latest handset, the 6260 Slide. Which is an addition to their other 6260 from 2004. Although not really drawn as update as such on the previous series, it does still share the same model number. Only now the word Slide is has been added, almost as a suffix at the end. The original model in case you were at all interested was of a clam shell design, and if you weren’t, it’s too late now. They’ve tagged this one for marketing purposes as being ’made for high speed sharing’, whatever...
Despite the hundreds of customers who queued up outside Verizon (VZ) stores early Friday to buy the Storm – Research in Motion’s hot new smartphone — the company is likely to miss its subscriber targets for the quarter that ends Nov. 29, according to a report issued Monday by Citigroup (C) analyst Jim Suva. The Storm, RIM’s (RIMM) answer to Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone, sold out almost immediately — and that’s the problem, according to Suva. Further investigation, he says, showed that the stores only received 40 to 100 units each, and that disappointed customers were told they could order online...
Japan always gets multimedia-rich cellphone, so for those who’re envious of what the Japanese have may be interested in what the latest that has hit the Japan. It’s the DoCoMo PRIME F-01A clamshell. This clamshell handset is powered by the Symbian OS and it’s a tough guy which can withstand a depth of one meter for half an hour under water. The phone also comes with the HSDPA high-speed connectivity. This seems to be a must in most recently released Japanese cellphones. The phone is compliant to Fujitsu’s FOMA specifications, features a 3.5-inch widescreen VGA touchscreen display, equipped with a...
At the press launch, we spent some time with the handset to get a good enough feel for it, see how it works, what features it has and how it performs. We covered the basic features of the phone in another post, so there really isn’t any need to go over old ground. The first thing the more astute of you will notice is the phone looks exactly like the first LG Prada handset. In fact if the two were put together you’d be hard pushed to tell them apart. The only real difference one might notice is the...
Just in time for the overly packaged holiday season, we are thrilled to see that Amazon is debuting a new eco-friendly idea called ‘Frustration Free Packaging’. If you’ve ever tried to open a plastic package twice the size of the product inside and ended up with box cutters in one hand and carpal tunnel syndrome in the other you may know ‘wrap rage.’ Then once you finally got the plastic off, you still had 18 wires to unwind and a mountain of mostly unrecyclable trash. The folks at Amazon are working hard to remedy this problem with the introduction...
Filed under: Handsets, Samsung There's not a whole lot of excitement packed between the hinges of Samsung's M3110, but the vivacious exterior is certainly worth a look for those who appreciate varying hues. The self-proclaimed music phone does itself a huge favor by offering up a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, and there's also an internal display (160 x 128) there to complement the external 96 x 96 pixel screen. Finally, you'll find a 1.3-megapixel camera and a very traditional numeric keypad, but your guess is as good as ours on pricing / availability.Samsung's M3110 clamshell music phone is simple, colorful originally...
