what’s coming
Oftentimes my time just fly when i’m surfing the net. When something interests me i dive in the net and surf…for hours esp. during winter when i can’t go out and play. As i mentioned when somethin interests me, that is, most of the times about technology…new mobile phones, cameras, lens, computers…not that i want to buy but let us say, i love keeping myself updated and technology really amazes me.
I recently got interested in smartphones owning a nice one myself. BTW, for those who read my blog about my decision on what cellphone to buy…I did not go with the NOKIA 8800, i went to my original ideal phone…the MOTOROLA A1000. If i’ll review this phone, i’ll rate it the best cp i’ve ever navigated including those i didn’t own although there are some issues involving wireless connectivity…and i was shocked when i saw no keypad! Going back on smartphones…these are the phones that might interest you…read on.
NOKIA E61:
Still to be released, this phone will still be using the s60 platform, has qwerty keypad, weighs 144 with battery, measures 117mmx69.7mmx14mm, your old-fashioned monoblock type. No problem whichever way you’d like to be connected since it has bluetooth, irda, your good old usb and it’s Wi-fi!!! So no problem synchronizing your pc to this phone, that is if all is working well. It’s a shame though since almost every phone now has a camera…this one doesn’t! no chance of video calling with this one.
Boasting of 75mb memory with extendable minisd, of course battery life as consistent with nokia…better than most of its rival.
The features (not all mentioned here) sounds good, i just hope it’s functional…nokia strikes me as a device with sooo much features but really hard to maximize or use since the system hangs most of the time.
MOTOROLA Q:
Now this phone if there’s a way i can afford it would be my next phone…to be released 1st Q this year. I’d consider it the most stylish compact phone ever and hopefully one of the most functional!
If you remember the razr v3 for its style and thinness, this is thinner not more than 0.4in thick, weighs 115g and with qwerty keypad. It’ll be 1 of the first that’ll be using ms windows mobile 5.0 platform meaning….you can almost consider your phone as your computer since it comes with Word, Excel and powerpoint viewer…very advantageous to businessmen but of course the platform hasn’t been proven yet. Unlike the nokia E61, it has a camera of 1.3mp. Supports almost all video and audio formats; has bluetooth, irda and usb connectivity…no wi-fi here! Not a 3g phone and it doesn’t have a gps receiver?!!! that made me think….why?!!!!!
HP IPAQ HW6940: A coming soon too, well this might be on the lower edge amongst the three in terms of style. Screen resolution of 240×240 pixels compared to 340×240 resolutions of nokia e61 and moto Q. Also the heaviest of the 3 at 175g. 
WIll also be using Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 5.0, not 3g but has Wi-fi and a gps receiver!! Memory of 45 MB available for persistent user storage and 64 MB SDRAM for running applications…what’s extra special about this phone…none that i know of.
TREO 700w: It’s been introduced as the ‘the everything machine’ and after reading its features…i cannot agree more!!! It Will of course be using the newest ms windows mobile 5.0 with …wow…128mb of ‘non-volatile’ memory. 
Supports mmc, sd and sdio cards. It’s quite heavy though at 180g (oooh) but has excellent ergonomics with qwerty keypad and has a writing stylus (nice combo) not to mention that the keypad has an integrated phone dial pad (as with all the phones i mentioned above.) Most tasks can be done with one-touch button. Has an external antenna, A little short on the resolution of 240×240pixels; has a 1.3mp dcam. Definitely a great phone, for those who are always short of time!
