Camera Phones Plaza

The fact that Nokia has just introduced the E51 cell phone version with no camera is good news.
I can tell you from my experience that the pictures are no good and its built-in 2MP camera captures worse than a 1.3MP phone.

The bad news here is that the camera-free E51 is more expensive than the standard version of this phone, having a starting price of $368, with about $30 more.
If you are wondering why is that, I can only tell you that the new version of this phone is built with focus on the e-mail functions and comes with costumer e-mail and Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email and Mail for Exchange which allows you to communicate with the Microsoft Exchange Server.
This capability is for a streamlined e-mail reading experience and easier access to attachments, according to the company.

These e-mail features come in addition to the known functions of the E51 with camera, and these include 2G/3G support, a 2-inch TFT display with 16 million colors and 240 x 320 pixels resolution, MP3 support, 130MB user data memory, 96MB SDRAM, microSD slot, an ARM11 processor with 369MHz speed, GPRS Class 32, EDGE Class 32, 3G-HSDPA for 3.6Mpbs transfer speed, WLAN, Wi-Fi, VoIP, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, Symbian OS 9.2 operating system, Instant Messaging, Xhtml/HTML support, video player, FM radio, document viewer, and a LI-Ion battery of 1070 mAh for up to 4 hours and 20 minutes of talk time.



The thin cell phone’s design is incredible stylish and would perfectly fit a business man rather than a lady, or at least someone that has his own style and needs a full-featured powerful phone.
Nokia E51 looks better in your hand than on a presentation web page and measures 114.8 x 46 x 12 mm, weighting 100 grams.
In these pictures you can see the basic model with built-in camera in full black, while the one with silver margins and back is the camera-free version.

At some point, even the largest customer electronics manufacturers are releasing low-cost product series to target new market sectors, while worldwide customers’ needs are increasing day by day.
zzzPhone found a solution to satisfy all its clients in searching for a new full-featured cell phone, offering cool cell phones and access to mass customization at a reasonable price.

The cell phone manufacturer says its models are competing with Nokia N95 as technology and performance and in the same time they are fully customizable starting with the exterior and ending with the hardware configuration, including the programs installed.
Who wouldn’t want a new cell phone which to have an in-trend construction, powerful applications and to be designed exactly on the customer’s taste?

This cell phone can come with special software installed, your favored music including ring tones, and it would be mailed to you in a stunning look.
All this is possible via the zzzPhone’s official website where you can spend as long as you want to personalize your new acquisition.

I wrote about this model having a reasonable price but I think I did a mistake; $149 is more than reasonable, but after adding your key elements to its configuration the price is raising, each new element having its value.
At the starting price mentioned you could get a QVGA touch-sensitive display, 3-inch large, dual SIM support to use both of your telecommunication operators, a 3MP built-in camera, and something that can’t miss from such a phone – the MP3/MP4 player.

Of course, now you can start upgrading it with GPS navigation, stereo speakers for a clear sound when listening music, or you can replace the 3MP camera with a 7MP one, and then add up to 4GB of memory to get the whole package.

zzzPhone is not a toy-phone. It is a powerful handheld meant also for business people and a good example would be the E-ChinaMLS.com, largest real-estate MLS service from China, which took advantage of this offer and provided real estate agents with real-time property quotes through their cell phones, and to streamline/automate the process retrieving quotes and uploading images of latest properties to the MLS service, a contract was signed to produce 1,000 zzzPhones with specialized applications which can interface directly with the agents’ mobile phones to the MLS service.

Let’s see what’s inside a zzzPhone.



There is a tri-band model with support for 800/850/1800/1900 MHz in US and 900/1800/1900 MHz in Europe, automatic band switching capability, Windows Mobile 6 operating system, 512MB internal memory, 2/4GB extendable memory via an SD card, conference calling support, speakerphone, touch panel, stylus, keypad, GPRS, Bluetooth, a 3/5/7MP camera with 10x digital zooming, 1800/2200 mAh Li-Ion battery with 240-360 minutes of talking, and these are just the base components.

And now let’s see what you can add to make it the complete mobile solution.

You can start with adding a custom color to its case or make it gold-plated.
After that you may add four speakers, Skype support, water resistance, car charger, a TV/FM receiver and even a monitoring system.

Now, seriously, who could even imagine he or she might find a better mobile solution?...

modu is a new type of mobile phone which uses sophisticated technologies and design to be able to slip into different modu jackets like phone enclosures, or modu-enabled costumer electronic devices.

The world’s first modular mobile phone is based on the concept of giving the users the possibility to choose a new phone when they want, and this attracted the leading mobile network operators such as Telecom Italia, VimperCom from Russia and Cellcom located in Israel, with their tens of millions of subscribers to sign a strategic partnership which will lead to the releasing of modu in Q4 2008.

The modu compatible devices will start to be developed soon and these will include MP4 players, digital photo frames, DECT phones, and cameras, and the first company that will begin to manufacture these products is Blaupunkt.
The modu jackets design will be made by Universal Music Group, the world’s largest music company, and among the other partners are SanDisk and Texas Instruments.

The idea of creating modu came from Dov Moran who invented the USB Flash Drive and this is his motivation:
"There are hundreds of handset models on the market: the trouble is that as a consumer you can only have one at a time and you are usually tied to a long and expensive contract. modu is challenging that with a solution that offers freedom, boundless possibilities and the opportunity to change your phone without it costing a fortune."

So, for all those involved in the modu project there are many advantages for the future.
First comes the possibility to open a dialogue with the subscribers providing them an affordable option of changing their phone even a few times a year.



The modular mobile phone will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona between February 11-14.

The new technology announced by Expand Images from Florida is offering 3D image visualization on your cell phone. This would be very helpful overcoming the limitations posed by the small screens allowing you to see more details of real life subjects by zooming in and out, panning and rotating the image.



This new technology is different than the others known by eliminating the need to change the cell phone’s structure or the use of Smartphones only.
Expand Images seems deeply engaged in revolutionizing the mobile device industry and it just started to do it with the new 3D visualization technology.

Maria Alvarez, the president of Expand Images, said:
“The major hindrance for any mobile entertainment service stems from the small size of handset screens as they offer a constrained view of content. With Exp&, this is no longer a problem, because no matter how small the screen is, users can zoom in on the images they wish to see in greater detail.”

This is the demonstration video for the new technology which shows what you can do with it enabled o your cell phone:

National Research Council’s last report talks about expanding US scientists’ researches on the negative effects of the exposure to the radiation emitted by cell phones, laptops and other wireless devices, highlighting the need for deeper investigations of the risks at which several people categories are exposed at, including children, pregnant women and fetuses.

National Research Council stated: “Although it is unknown whether children are more susceptible to radio-frequency exposure, they may be at increased risk because of their developing organ and tissue systems. Additionally, specific absorption rates for children are likely to be higher than for adults, because exposure wavelength is closer to the whole-body resonance frequency for shorter individuals. The current generation of children will also experience a longer period of RF field exposure from mobile-phone use than adults, because they will most likely start using them at an early age. The report notes that several surveys have shown a steep increase in mobile-phone ownership among children, but virtually no relevant studies of human populations at present examine health effects in this population.”
