LG Introduces the Solar Powered GD510 Pop

LG GD510 PopAmid a crowd of complicated touch screen mobile phones, LG has come up with something simple but attractive, the GD510 Pop. This touch screen phone has a remarkably compact and minimalist design, with only one physical button. The same button can perform different functions, which can be judged based on whether the color light in its background is either green or red. LG GD510 is just 4 inches long and 0.6 inches thick. The size of the touch screen is 3” and it is a TFT screen with 256 colors and a QVGA resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. The phone has an attractive aluminum finish, with the screen making most of the area on the front, lined by a thin bezel.

But one of the most important aspects of the GD510 is that uses solar panels on its back, which is an exemplary innovation, but this power option is secondary to the conventional charging of a standard Li-ion battery of course. Although the intent is appreciable, it remains to be seen how viable it will prove to be practically.

The phone supports, EDGE and GSM networks, but support for 3G and Wi-Fi is missing, so there is no special features the phone offers when it comes to connectivity. LG GD510 will attract the attention of people who love to listen to music on the move, and like to have a mobile phone with all the features of an MP 3 player. LG GD510 offers multimedia playback support in a variety of formats, and with the internal memory of 8 GB, thousands of music files can easily be stored on the phone. At least you won’t need an MP3 player, if you are using the LG GD510.

LG GD510 Pop is expected to be released in mid-October, and is expected to be one of the most affordable touchscreen phones with many LG GD510 Pop deals to pick from.

Palm Pixi or Palm Pre – Which One is Better?

Palm PixiPalm Pixi and Palm Pre are sister smartphones really, with very little to separate them, yet there are a few differences that can prompt certain users to prefer one phone over the other. Both the phones are Palm webOS devices which is a new operating system platform designed for the Palm smartphones based on Linux. The advantages of webOS will equally be available in both the sets.

However, the main difference between Palm Pre and its younger sister Pixi is the design and dimensions. Palm Pre is wider and thicker than Palm Pixi, and Pixi is a little higher, which makes Pixi the slimmer of the two. Moreover, another fundamental difference in design is the keypad. Palm Pre comes with a slider keypad, which is why it is thicker than Palm Pixi, while Palm Pixi has a much smaller keypad beneath its screen, which is 2.63 inches as compared to the 3.1 inch screen of Palm Pre.

The idea about Palm Pixi is basically reducing the clutter on the phone for the user, which is why there are little buttons on the touch-screen as well. The same is true for Palm Pre, but it comes Palm Pre (1)with a heavy slider keyboard, making it bulkier than Palm Pixi.

For those who like to carry light phones and seek to enjoy all the benefits of a smartphone, while also having them light and slim, Palm Pixi would be an obvious choice, and especially those who are irritated by the slider keypad. However, Palm Pre has its own benefits and features a richer 24-bit color display as compared to the 16-bit display of Palm Pixi, and features a 3.0 mega pixel digital camera with extended depth of field, as compared to a 2.0 mega pixel camera of Palm Pixi. But maybe that is the cost Palm Pixi users will have to bear in exchange for a smaller size and the expected low price. Moreover, Palm Pre would be the obvious choice for those who cannot compromise on Wi-Fi connectivity.

Watch out for Palm Pixi contracts when they come out and see how they compare to Palm Pre contracts.

Innovation’s the name of the game

Samsung B3310In recent years, the amount of innovation that has gone into mobile phones has seen no end and the Samsung B3310 is yet another phone which is bound to make you wonder as to how creative and imaginative mobile phone manufacturers are. A look at the specifications sheet might bring questions as to what’s so special about it. However, once you have a look at some pictures of the phone, or the actual phone itself, you’ll realize what I’m talking about.

The most innovative part of the phone is the location of the alphanumeric keys, which are located at the side of the phone, making it look extremely odd. However, you should get used to it and might actually end up enjoying it.

Typing texts at high speeds is made possible via the full QWERTY keyboard, which can be accessed by sliding the phone sideways. The phone has a fairly good sized screen, though we would’ve liked the size of the D-pad and the navigation keys to have been reduced in favour of a bigger screen. The screen has a resolution of 240×320 pixels and can display upto 256k colours.

The phone’s main features have to be the shortcuts to Facebook and MySpace, which enables you to message your friends as well as to update your status on your profile with a single click on the shortcut at the bottom of the screen. The phone has a decent talk time of 5 hours, which should be enough for most people.

In order to connect to the internet, you can make use of the EDGE, GPRS and HSCSD connectivity options. Bluetooth connectivity is also available, enabling you to share data with other phones as well as to listen to songs using your favourite Bluetooth headset.

The Samsung B3310 Reviews aren’t so bad, so make sure you snap it up when it is released somewhere around the mid of September as there will be many great Samsung B3310 contracts on offer.
