The First BlackBerry with Traditional Keypads

Usually, the BlackBerry handsets has a qwerty keypads in it - not anymore! The new BlackBerry Pearl 9105 is the very First BlackBerry With Traditional Keypad. The new BlackBerry Pearl 3G actually comes in two models. The 9100, which is coming to AT&T, has a 20-key Pearl keypad with two letters on each key, and the 9105, which hasn't been announced by any US carrier, has a traditional 14-key phone keypad.




And this makes the 9105 a breakthrough model for RIM. While the vast majority of phones across the world have traditional phone keypads also known as "9-pads" to some, RIM has never released one before. The company's focus on texting meant they always thought of messaging first, so even the ancient little BlackBerry 950 had a full QWERTY setup.

Nokia's N8 12 MP Handset



We all knew that Sony Ericssion made it first to have a 12 MP touchscreen mobile phone - the Sony Ericsson Satio.  And as of today Nokia's much awaited mobile phone gets previewed, the Nokia N8 12 MP touchscreen handset. But there’s still no official word from the company not that it matters. Mobile-Review’s got a preview up and they don’t seem to be too happy with what they see.

Nokia N8 feature a large multi-touch display which the reviewer doesn’t regard as a very important factor because a lot of them have it already in a other words it’s pretty standard these days with quite a few handsets. The design still seems like it could be an SE Aino w/o the keypad but with a larger display.

The 12MP camera with what looks like a Xenon flash will be something that the competition would have to seriously acknowledge. Sadly video capture is strictly 720p quality which means it’s no better than the others in its class including the Sony Ericsson Vivaz that has an 8MP camera. The handset also seems to have an HDMI out but the reviewer says that it’s some form or proprietary socket that didn’t suit standard HDMI cables.

Rumored Apple's iPhone 4G


We all knew that apple just released the new iPad,  the bigger version of an iPod Touch and now rumors are already spreading on the net regarding this new iPhone - Apple's iPhone 4G. But according to gizmodo.com, there's a little possibility that it's fake.

Check out the photos below:



About the iPhone 4G

• Front camera for video chat
• Improved regular back-camera
• Camera flash
• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It's unclear if it's the 960x640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
• An aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery.
