New Sony Ericsson G-Series G700i & G900i Cell Phones Rumoured to Drop in Days

Sony Ericsson G-Series

If rumours presently circulating the interweb as to be believed – and we see no reason as to why they would prove unfounded – Sony Ericsson see poised to drop a new range of G-Series cell phones, consisting of two models – the G700i and G900i - on or around February 10th.

Of the few details known concerning Sony Ericsson’s new G-Series it’s believed that the lower-end G700i (codenamed ‘Josephine’) will feature a 2.6” TFT screen and 3.2 megapixel camera whilst the G900i (codenamed ‘Tyra’), whilst also sporting a 2.6” TFT screen, will feature a 5 megapixel camera and WLAN – though at the time of writing we are unable to establish whether either will boast touchscreen capabilities comparable to that utilised by the new W960i smartphone.

Rest assured that we’ll post an update with full specifications concerning both models the moment it becomes available.

Samsung Poised to Unveil 3G Soul ‘Magic Touch’ Contextual Touchscreen 5MP Camera Cell Phone

Samsung Soul

Following on from the news concerning LG’s new LG-KF510 ultra slim slider cell phone and Sony Ericsson’s new G-Series G700i and G900i cell phones Samsung are poised to release full details concerning their new Soul cell phone – featuring ‘Magic Touch’ contextual touchscreen – at next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Of the few details that are known about Samsung’s 3G Soul one of the most interesting is the incorporation of a mini context sensitive touchscreen referred to as ‘Magic Touch’ which will display navigational icons related to whatever mode the Soul is currently in – for instance, a set of media controls when in music mode – thus allowing the Soul to be role adaptive whilst cutting down on unnecessary clutter. And, interestingly, it’s also being reported that the UI can be themed – though quite to what extent presently remains unclear.

Lenovo 3000 Y410

The laptop market has grown and matured over the last several years, and demand has built up steadily. Manufacturers have taken every measure to ensure they offer the largest possible range for virtually any kind of consumer. Now while consumer choice is always a good thing, it’s a different matter when the choice becomes just too bewildering and confusing for the average human being.

Permit me to explain. I feel there's just too much choice available now and not enough clear differentiation in products based on actual performance. For example, take Sony’s VAIO range of laptops. This year alone the company introduced over 50 new models with near identical specs and different covers – from 'nature themes' to dedications to obscure artists that no one has heard of.

The same trend can be observed in products from Lenovo, Dell and HP – Dell with its Inspiron range, Lenovo with the 3000 range, and HP with its 6x/9x range of machines.

With that rant out of the way, let’s examine the product in hand – the Lenovo 3000 Y410 (quite a mouthful, eh?) The company says this is a multimedia powerhouse. Is this true or does the 3000 Y410 fall into the same quagmire as others with tall claims and no show? Let’s find out.

LATST CAMERA

Sony's top end Superzoom promises big with a whopping 15x optical zoom at full resolution and a huge 3-inch tiltable screen. But is it really better than the somewhat disappointing little brother – the Cyber-shot H7? Or does it shine as a must-have among superzooms? There's only one way to find out!

The H9 has a build you can't complain about, with its comfortably deep handgrip and a good size of 110 x 83 x 86 mm. Of course you have the option to increase the macho element a bit by adding the tremendously oversized and daunting hood attachment.
