Seem like Sony Ericsson finally jumps to produce Android phone! This latest model code name “Rachel”, is belong to XPERIA series. Although from the casing and physically buttons design, we couldn’t tell whether is this really a Android phone yet. Besides that, we also don’t have more information on the hardware specification either.

Anyway, we are looking forward more phone manufacturer starts their production on Android Operating System.

Sony Ericsson Android Phone Leaked?!

Windows Mobile 6.5 mobile phone is coming this July. Microsoft ATC studio has been designing and make contribution to give us a better users experience. Hopefully we can see something impressive from them. But seem to Microsoft this is just a minor version right after version 6.0.

To me they look just like Windows 7 icons.

Yesterday, HTC announced their latest Android OS phone – HTC Hero. This phone is amazingly thinner than current HTC Magic and have more cool features to watch out. Here is a 14 min length video clip from slashgear.com.

After viewing it, the UI is very flexible, users able to put any widget they like on the page and able to swap in between different profile, with totally set of widgets and theme. Another cool thing that iPhone don’t have is Flash integrated browser and 5MP camera!

We can expect this phone coming this July in UK and in this winter for US. HTC just released phone much more faster than other Android phone hardware developers and Apple!

Which phone should you go for? CNET tv has a short video clip comparing the 3 phones. Up to now, the fastest boot up, I can see is of course iPhone 3G S. And for Palm Pre, the boot up speed is quite slow. I not sure how they can actually archieve such a slow speed, plenty things to load? But for picture sending and browsing is quite fast!

For iPhone 3G, when goes to WIFI browsing, very easily it jumps to EGDE, will take forever to load.

As iPhone 3.0 released, here are some direct links to download the firmware.

Does the new 3G iPhone that cheap? According to Gizmodo compare chart of the first gen iPhone and 3G iPhone bundle with AT&T. It is $399, 100 bucks more than the first generation plan. The plan does not even include SMS Plan yet.

So next time when you head for 3G iPhone, think again. Apple is fooling us! Unless, we bought it and jail break it. Then it is surely worth your money.

Regardless we still in doubt whether Meizu is still interested to release the iPhone killer, Meizu M8, or not. Just because Meizu seem to more interest for M9. However yesterday, we saw more new interface announced. The interface is slightly different from the iPhone.

For example the keylock, in case of using on-screen sliding to unlock, M8 will require user to drag the unlock icon to the unlock zone for unlocking.

I was amazed by the HTC Touch Diamond User Interface – TouchFLO 3D. HTC has fully utilized the Diamond hardware accelerator for all the 3D animated effects.

HTC Touch Diamond is built on latest Windows Mobile 6.1 platform. Thought it is not really consider a full iPhone killer yet. However, it is definitely the best Windows Mobile add on application we have seen on the market. 

After years I abandoned Windows Mobile phone, now I’m actually considering to get myself a HTC Diamond when it is out.

While rumor says that the coming 3G iPhone will be black in color, here we have a custom black iPhone. The black iPhone has an anodized aluminum back. It looks definitely cool but with a price tag of $849! Hm.. Does really a aluminum back costs so much?

I think better hope for next generation 3G iPhone comes in black color will be a much more wiser choice.

HTC has announced the latest Diamond to their HTC Touch series in London today. How much you inspired by this cool Diamond design? This 2.8-inch VGA mobile phone will be running on the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro.

It comes with Wifi, Bluetooth, FM Tuner and support up to 4GB internal flash. The CPU speed is 528MHz and 3.2 megapixel camera. But how much will you pay for this new gadget? HTC has not reveal the price yet.

We looking forward for a mobile review soon on this gadget.

Recently, numerous reports mentioned that Skype is partnering with 3 to release the latest Skype phone. I not sure how long have they started to develop the cell phone. However, the report said it will launch on 29th of October! Yes, it is just 4 more days. Do you think is it true or just another rumor?

If it is really that case, then Skype and 3 have done a great job by keeping this secret for so long. It is very unlikely you could develop such a cell phone platform with few months. That Skype phone features a 2 mega pixels camera, MP3 player function and free calls to Skype users. So, let wait for 4 more days.

If you pay notice to the cell phone market, you will find that 5MP camera is the coming trend for the next 12 months. The first 5MP cell phone that catches my attention recently is Sony Ericsson K850. And now, Samsung is releasing the SGH-G800!

The highlight of this Samsung new model is not only that this 5 MP camera comes with auto focus, but also Xenon flash. This cell phone support Bluetooth, FM Radio, TV out and micro SD port. The LCD screen is 2.4″ QVGA.

I did not get any informtion on the dimension, but I believe Samsung phone are known for their slim phone. So I don’t expect it to be too thick. Besides, the actual date for US has not annouced yet but it will available to Europe next month.

Samsung SGH-G800

Today, Apple CEO Steve Jobs posted an open letter on their web site mentioning that Apple will release a SDK for iPhone and iPod Touch. Let me explain SDK stands for software development kit. It is a tool to let software developers to develop applications based on the standard example and API released by the suppliers. Without the SDK, software developers will not have the proper platform to develop software, but they could do it by illegally hack into the system.

So, hacking isn’t what Apple wants to see, they also can’t any stand the pressure from the community. With the SDK, more cool software will be released in the next 6 months, which would definitely boost the sales of iPhone.

iPhone SDK February 2008

While people still deciding whether to pay USD99 to unlock their iPhone, today a community has released an open source method to unlock your iphone! So, you do not need to pay your money to iPhoneSimFree anymore.

So, does it really work? Yes and the method they are using is similar to iPhoneSimFree. Where is the link? Here it is. If you want to download the source code for education purpose, you can find it here too.

We shall thank Gizmodo for the mirror, since the iUnlock developer’s web site has been overloaded. 

I wonder when will Apple take reaction towards the code? Also, Apple possibly will release new firmware for the iPhone to prevent further losses.
