Sony Ericsson T707 Elle

Sony ElleAt a recently held press conference in China, Sony Ericsson displayed information about one of the latest models it’s planning on releasing soon. This T series phone, known as the T707 is also known by the code name of Elle. There is only limited information available on this matter and even less possibilities of picture previews but we do know some of the specs for certain.

It’s a flip phone that will be available in 5 colors; green, violet/pink, blue, black and orange. As it’s labeled under the T series umbrella, it would not fall under the Walkman or Cyber Shot lines. But it’s guaranteed to carry all the expertise Sony Ericsson has achieved over the years of experience in the mobile phones industry.

Sources say that the new T707 tends to be similar to the SE W508 and Z610 in some ways. But at the same time carry several features which are unique to the T707 itself. The T707 Elle will be quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS/HSDPA. The 2.2inch main display is of QVGA resolution and there is also a secondary smaller display on the outside.

The 3.2MP camera somehow is of fixed focus. The extendable memory through the use of microSD slot is complimented with the 1GB M2 card that is given with the package. File transferring can be done by using A2DP Bluetooth. The T707 is 14mm thick and weighs 98g. You will be able to find it in the markets from May onwards but there is no information as to what regions it will be available. For more information check out GSM Arena.

Sony Ericsson has not yet published any official news on the price of this model. However, you can get a basic idea by checking out some of the Sony Ericsson T707 Elle contracts. These T707 Elle contracts and deals will also help to reduce the financial burden upon buying the headset. Sony Ericsson T707 Elle offer you a great range of benefits including free gifts and special offers.

Samsung Omnia Lite B7300. Decent looker. Decent performer

The Samsung Omnia Lite is shaping up to be a pretty nifty little smartphone. Samsung have deliberately stripped some of the high-end features available in the other members of the Omnia family meaning the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 lives up to its name – it’s very thin for a smartphone (just 13mm) and weighs in just over a hundred grams (impressive especially as it includes a 1500 mAh battery that will provide a reasonable amount of juice for all your needs.

Thanks to all this, the Lite B7300 is a bit of a looker – with brushed metal features, a distinctive cell-like pattern on the back, and a great curvy body that will feel great in the hand, this is a huge step in the right direction away from the somewhat brick-like Omnia phones we’ve seen so far.

The screen isn’t of the highest resolution (64k colours, compared to some similar phones that are hitting the 16million mark), the camera’s a paltry 3 megapixels and has no flash, but we think these are minor enough that what’s left will be more than adequate for all but the heaviest of users. Being Samsung, there’s also the great TouchWiz interface (designed specifically for all-touch handsets) and loads of interesting navigational features and apps to take advantage of the onboard GPS.

There’s also WiFi, 3.5G data connectivity, a maximum download speed on HSDPA of 3.6mbps and an FM radio, so we think you’ll find more than enough to keep your fingers happy for the length of your contract if you choose to buy it that way. It might not be about to break into any new territory or win any awards, but we think the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300’s going to do more than an adequate job for those of you out there who want a smartphone without having to worry about taking out a loan to afford it. Check out this full Samsung Omnia Lite review here for even more details. And look forward to a launch sometime around October (or even earlier if Samsung get their fingers out)

Samsung Omnia Pro B7610. Two wrongs don’t make a right

Oh, when will they learn? When will the fiddling, tinkering, time-wasting mobile phone researchers learn that less is most often more. That adding more and more and more features and alternatives not only confuses people, but also wastes valuable research and development time.

Take the new Samsung Omnia Pro as a painful example that’s come our way recently. It’s going to come with not one, but two User Interfaces (UI’s). One called “pro” the other “media.” Although keeping in mind that the launch date is still a fair way away (October 2009 at present), so there’s few other details available (and things might still be scrapped) we think this is a terrible, terrible idea. all things might not be finalised.

We can almost understand the logic – some people will be more media-heavy users, so they’ll want a PMP (personal media player) kind of interface, whereas other will be more heavily business and email-hungry, and they’ll want something more traditionally smartphone or businessphone-like. But, aside from the fact that this is patronising (because business people are too serious to ever use media functions, right, and people who don’t wear suits don’t want easy email access either, right?), it’s also a huge waste of effort. Why not just make the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 a good phone? Tricky concept, we know, but try it again: it’s one handset, it’s one phone, it’s one device…. so why not just make it good. All-round, every function, every feature: good.

Now, we’re not saying the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610
’s going to be a bad phone, or that this dual identity thing isn’t going to work… we’re just saying it’s probably not going to work as well Samsung hope/pray it will. Check out a full Samsung Omnia Pro review here for all the main specs and features. Or have a squizz at this dull video below.

Nokia 2720 Fold. Get your burners here.

Aside from drug dealers (yes, yes, we’ve been watching too much of The Wire too, just like everyone else), we think there’s going to be a broader market for the shockingly cheap (55 Euros before subsidies) Nokia 2720 Fold than even Nokia might imagine. As with the 2730 Classic, Nokia have been talking this clamshell handset up in terms of what it’s going to offer to emerging markets that might not have easy access to the internet or email capabilities. This is why they’re pushing the fact that you can set-up one of their Ovi email accounts in 3 easy steps without even going near a desktop computer or laptop, for example.

We think though that the 2720 Fold could also find a niche (or even bigger than niche) market in the supposedly more fashion-conscious hotspots of Western Europe. With its minimal, almost retro style and complete lack of any pretension, we think the fold might well get snapped up by, well, pretentious fashionistas who are digging retro stylings.

Then again, it might not. But we can’t help but think there’s something cool about owning a phone that, instead of pretending to be the absolute very best there has ever been, is happy to be just what it is: cheap, simple, and, well, nothing else. Just cheap and simple is fine by us. Check out a fuller Nokia 2720 fold review here, and waste 20 seconds of your life on the very cheap and painfully simple video of the Nokia 2720 Fold below.
