Now when Symbian Foundation is formed we're not sure when (or if) the Sony Ericsson Paris will be released. However, the appearance of the latter in the new color is definitely a good sign. That we found out from a new spy pic that was leaked in the web recently. The combination of orange and black looks nice, and we really hope to see the phone itself some day....

Voice search comes to Google Maps for BlackBerry devices

 03.07.2008 09:23   engadgetmobile.com

Filed under: Software, RIM If you were concerned that you didn't look crazy enough screaming into your phone at business associates, family members, and the guy who does your landscaping, Google has added a feature to Maps for RIM devices that should confirm that yes: you're a total maniac. Available right now for a handful of BlackBerry phones (8110, 8120, US version of the 8130) you can grab Google Maps with voice search, which enables you to find what you're looking for by pressing the left-side button and speaking the name of a business (or location, we assume). Sure it sounds convenient, but think twice before searching for hookers or cocaine out loud -- stock brokers, you have been warned.[Via Gear Diary]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Motorola W265 at FCC

 03.07.2008 04:34   cellaz.com

The new and basic Motorola W265 has just hit the FCC. Call it a calculator if you want, but apparently this boring clamshell doesn't offer anything besides dual-band GSM radio (EU/US) and FM receiver. How do you like that in the year of 2008? A piece of junk I'd say, but if it's free, I'll take it. :)... [These are short news! Click for details]

Samsung SGH-i740 Smartphone

Idnes.cz reports that Samsung is preparing yet another full touchscreen smartphone with the model number SGH-i740. The i740 is the sucessor to the i710 model, and, according to the source, shouldn't be expensive, as it lacks such important features like support for 3G, Wi-Fi and even EDGE(!). Wow, that leaves us only with GPRS. Nice... The rest of the specs is listed below: 624 MHz CPU; Windo... [These are short news! Click for details]

Nokia ushers power-packed 6220 classic into India

 03.07.2008 04:31   engadgetmobile.com

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, Symbian, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS Indians are among the very first lucky denizens of the world to get a crack at Nokia's 6220 classic, one of the high-end handsets introduced at Mobile World Congress back in February. Though it doesn't get slapped with an Nseries label, it probably should on account of a 5 megapixel camera with xenon flash, AGPS, TV-out, and HSDPA, all underpinned by S60 -- so why isn't it an N something-or-other, then? Our only guess is that it takes a moderately different, more conservative styling direction than the modern Nseries line, because we'd argue the local asking price of 19,959 rupees (about $464) is more than enough to push it into "multimedia computer" category.[Via Unwired View]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
