Vodafone V1210 is a fully fledged Smartphone and it's coming to Vodafone UK very soon indeed. As with most Vodafone handsets it'll have two names. This is the Vodafone v1210, aka the VPA IV. The FCC, who are responsible for ensuring phones meet safety standards, have pictures and a user manual plus lots more in their report.

The VPA IV looks fairly similar to other HTC handsets and comes with a nippy Intel PXA270 312Mhz CPU, 3G, 128Mb Flash with 64Mb SDRAM, MicroSD expansion slot, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack and has a fairly sizeable speaker at the back. The screenshots in the user manual show Vodafone UK as the carrier, so us Brits can definitely expect this soon. The Opera web browser seems to be included too, as does the ClearVue suite which will let you check Word / PDF / Powerpoint files on the move.

Want to add another feature to your screen? ScreenMirrors are transparent films that produce a mirror effect when a screen's backlight is off, but allow for clear display visibility when the backlight is on.

ScreenMirrors can be customized with your company's logo and/or character.
The special print in Maziora (Chameleon) Spectral Flare produces an etched glass look indoors, and a 7-color graduation effect outdoor. These effects are faintly visible when the backlight is on and clearly visible when viewed outside a 45° angle.

The screenmirror alone is selling at $18.99 for a piece and here is the product's official page.

We have all seen mobile phones with digital cameras, some of us have even had one or still do, but I'm sure you haven't seen or had one that has a real built-in digital camera. This is the case when we're talking about the freshly launched Samsung SCH-V770, a mobile device that sports an impressive 7 megapixel camera
(not very outstanding compared to the 10 megapixel one that rests under the case of the SCH-B600, but pretty mind blowing anyway).

The Samsung V770's digital camera is the first one on the mobile market that does lots of things for the first time. It offers its users manual functions only featured until now on stand-alone cameras (you can manually adjust the focus, the focal length tweakable from 7.8 to 23.4 mm, the shutter speed from 15 seconds to a as little as 1/2000th of a second, the auto exposure lock and you can also mess around with the exposure, of course if you know what you are doing, by tweaking the aperture priority, the shutter priority, all of these by fully manual options).

It also comes with tele-conversion and wide-angle lenses, auto-focus and flash, 3x optical zoom and 5x digital, and it works with the help of a 1/1.8 inch CCD sensor.
