2010 kicked off with a lot of promise at CES and intensified at MWC. There’s quite a bit to look forward to this year in technology over all. But for the mobile maniacs out there, here are a few more handsets that we’re hoping to see real soon on our shores.
Nokia C5
Nokia’s ultra sleek C5 is a classy looking candy bar device that’s going to feature the latest upgrade to the S60 Symbian Operating System which is v9.3. The new UI is designed to cater to the social networking users with Facebook integration into the phone book contacts itself. Aside from the upgraded UI the handset’s slim design and large keypad will facilitate it as a seriously user friendly handset.
The C5 also features -
- a 2.2-inch TFT display with a 240 × 320 pixel resolution
- 3G (HSDPA), EDGE/GPRS
- Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0 (Micro)
- GPS with A-GPS support (Ovi Maps 3.0 preloaded)
- 3 megapixel camera LED flash
- 3.5mm earphone and handsfree socket (AV out)
- Stereo FM radio
- MicroSD card support
Samsung Corby Beat
The Corby range of devices is doing extremely well with newer models showing up all the time. The latest that’s been spotted is the Corby Beat which seems to be a union between Samsung’s music range of handsets and their budget social networking devices. The combination has quiet a lot of potential. If the originals were capable of good audio, thanks to the inclusion of Samsung’s DNSe audio functionality, they’re going to be so much better. The Corby Beat seems to have also taken the original S3650 design to a whole new level with what seems like an addition of a metallic trim.
Other features included with the Corby Beat are -
- a 2.8-inch touchscreen display with a 240 × 320 pixel resolution
- EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, USB 2.0
- 2 megapixel camera
- 3.5mm earphone and handsfree socket (AV out)
- Stereo FM radio
- MicroSD card support
Sony Ericsson Aspen
The Aspen is part of Sony Ericsson’s new GreenHeart range of handsets and with its QWERTY keypad it seems well designed for the eco-conscious social networker. Like the Naite, the Aspen is also loaded with a few social networking apps. The Aspen is also built from recycled material and also includes eco-friendly applications. It’s a Windows Mobile handset that’s using version 6.5 professional which also means it’s perfectly capable of working out very well for the business class user. The handset also incorporates what Sony Ericsson calls their ‘Human Curvature Design’ which is supposed to make their handsets comfortable to grip and use for long periods.
The Aspen will also be equipped with -
- a 2.4-inch display with a 320 × 240 pixel resolution
- 3G (HSDPA HSUPA), EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
- GPS with A-GPS support
- Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, USB 2.0 (micro)
- 3 megapixel camera
- 3.5mm earphone and handsfree socket (AV out)
- Stereo FM radio
- MicroSD card support
HTC Desire
Another much awaited Android powered handset from HTC. This model will feature the latest version of the OS i.e. v2.1 or Éclair. Powered by a Snapdragon 1 GHz processor speed won’t be an issue. The Desire will also feature HTC’s new optical trackball for navigation and Multi-Touch capabilities. For the media hungry the Desire will be equipped with a Dolby Mobile sound engine to enhance audio and a DivX player for drag and drop video playback. And of course the Android OS plays very nice with social networking of all varieties. HTC has also included their HTC Sense UI with the Desire.
HTC’s Latest Android handset will also incorporate –
- a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with a 480 × 800 pixel resolution
- 3G, EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
- GPS with A-GPS support (Google Maps)
- Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, USB 2.0 (micro)
- 5 megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash
- 3.5mm earphone and handsfree socket (AV out)
- Stereo FM radio
- MicroSD card support
Nuvifone A50
The collaboration of Asus with GPS navigation systems designer Garmin brought us the Nuvifone range and although the previous model, the G60 didn’t fare too well, I have hopes for the A50. This is the upgrade in many ways. From a smooth UI using a basic Linux OS, it’s been upped to Android so social networking is now on board. Multimedia capabilities now include video playback as well as YouTube access since it’s got Google’s fleet of services on board. I have no doubt that the mapping system will also be upgraded. That is still the handset’s key feature that did not disappoint even with the older model. It also looks like the A50 has been sliced down to a slim sleek device as well.
Asus’s upgrade to the G60, the A50 will also feature –
- a 3.5-inch touchscreen display with a 320 x 480 pixel resolution
- 3G, EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
- GPS with A-GPS support (Garmin Navigation)
- Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0 0
- 3 megapixel autofocus camera
- 4GB internal memory with MicroSD card support
There’s plenty more where these came from and the year is still in its diaper stage. So far 2010 has been quite exciting for the mobile community and it’s just the beginning.
