People are crazy with their passion for all sorts of social networking websites. I know they are, as I’m one of them. I have an infinite number of accounts on websites I couldn’t remember if I didn’t have them all written in a Microsoft Word document that gets completed with each new account that makes me feel a complete person.

I have an infinite number of accounts and an equal number of passwords, so my memory is the most pleased with this situation. It’s all crap what it has to remember on a regular basis, but that the way things go and there’s nothing I or anyone else could do about it.



The number of accounts is what defines me as a person. So, I should really take into consideration the idea of having a Facebook account also. Especially now, that a new version of the Facebook for iPhone, the 3.0, is very close to becoming available in the market. It seems that there isn’t much to do until it gets completed, so it will be released sometime in the near future, most probably via the App Store.



As expected, the Facebook for iPhone 3.0 will come with a wide variety of improvements and additions, such as: a brand new homescreen, events (there’s also the ability to RSVP), pages, notes, news feeds and enhanced notifications. More than that, you will have the chance to create photo albums, to upload the pictures you’ve taken, to tag them, to use the zoom functionality or to add favorite profiles or favorite pages to the new homescreen.

You bragged about being the most fanatic picturegoer of them all, so don’t hesitate when I tell you to give me at least two or three names of the cast of “Love actually". Especially because it’s like a speed test, as I told you to think fast. You say you can’t remember, I say you shouldn’t boast anymore about being such a connoisseur.

Anyway, the reason I asked for those names has nothing to do with the movie. It just came to me because I accidentally ran into the Pantech Love Actually cell phone, a touch sensitive device that has just been unveiled. Also known under the name of IM-U460K, the phone will be sold under the name I mentioned earlier, which is a little bit peculiar, you have to admit.



As you can see for yourselves, the phone has a very stylish design and you’ll have some brightly colored changeable back plates to enjoy.

As for the features, the Pantech Love Actually comes with a 3 inch WQVGA display, GSM and HSDPA connectivity, a 3 megapixel camera, a secondary camera for video calls, DMB (also known as Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), media player, an internal memory of 256 MB and a microSDHC card slot.



The phone measures 104.9 x 54.6 x 12 millimeters and is expected to become available via KTF, in a wide variety of colors. The price is still unknown. Anyway, up until the moment you’ll have the chance to buy a handset of your own, enjoy this video preview:

While other cell phone manufacturers and providers focus their attention of Android-based devices, as if it were the ultimate task that must be accomplished no matter what, there are still those exceptions, if I can say so, that are keen on improving their range of Windows Movile products.

Bell Canada is surely one of those providers, as there are rumors it will soon release the Samsung Link, a smartphone that hasn’t been announced so far. The handset runs on the Windows Mobile operating system and comes with a full QWERTY keyboard.

We’re not sure 100 per cent, but the design of the Link is quite similar to the one of the Samsung C6625 (also known as C6620), a device that customers from European countries may purchase it right now. If our presumption is true, then here you have some features of the Samsung Link, the phone targeted at the Canadian market: a QVGA display which is not touch sensitive, a 2 megapixel camera, GPS functionality and Bluetooth connectivity.



Another presumption refers to the fact that the Samsung Link might replace another Samsung phone, the Ace, which is currently available via Bell for a pirce of $29.95. Customers can get this price only if they sign a contract agreement for a period of three years.

As for the release date of the new QWERTY smartphone, it is said to be July 15, but the details about the price are still unknown.

We should be a little bit eco, if there’s a small feeling inside each and every one of us that it’s our duty to have very good care of the environment. And we shouldn’t spare any chance we have to prove ourselves to be conscious about the world we live in.

In the given context, the annpuncement made by Samsung and T-Mobile should be received with applause, because they have just come up with an eco cell phone which you’ll refer to as Samsung S3030 Eco.

The handset was expected to become available starting July 2nd in the Netherlands, which was a couple of days ago. At first glance, you’ll see that the Eco is actually something like another version of the Samsung S3030 Tobi, a slider that was announced and presented at the end of last year (sometime in November) as a cell phone for children.



Let’s now see what turns the S3030 Eco into a green cell phone. First of all, it is made of bio-plastic, which means it’s free of brominated flame retardants (also known as BFR) and PVC. On the other hand, the charger is also an eco-friendly component. Not to mention the fact that the pacakging is made from materials that you can recycle 100%.



As for the features, this is what you can find on board: a photo camera (most probably it will be a 1.3 megapixel one), MP3 player, FM radio and a microSD card slot for expandable memory (of no more than 8GB).

You can purchase the new Samsung S3030 Eco from T-Mobile Netherlands for a price of no more than €89.95 on pre-pay. Unfortunately, we don’t know if the handset will become available in other markets. Not yet.

Ok, maybe the title is a little bit confusing for some of you, but if you just give me a moment I’ll explain and it will all be very clear and, why not, logical. It’s not a new Nokia application as we all understand by “new”, but it’s a brand new version, the latest, of the Ovi Maps, an application that’s been available for some time now.

The Ovi Maps experience will be better from now on, being improved with “additional features and services” that are meant to open up new horizons. These horizons can be translated as a wide variety of choices as far as the maps are concerned, which, according to the Finnish company, are better than ever.



So here is what you can enjoy from now on: satellite and terrain maps at high resolution (you can choose between 2D and 3D views), an impressive number of 200 cities for which you can enjoy the 3D landmarks, rotation, tilting or night view. In addition, you can fly over or through the city you prefer.



You can also have the POI information you need directly on your device, information provided by Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities. Other information included refers to weather forecasts (there’s a 24 hour and 5-day service).



Two important features are the WALK, which allows the user to go from a place to another, or the DRIVE, which is a car navigation that comes with increased safety and information about safety cameras and speed limits.



The Ovi Maps application can be accessed on the web and the benefits are precisely the same: the user can search for addresses he wants to find or POIs, can find places, can save those into Favorites, and then, in order to keep things very well organized, he can group them into Collections. In addition, he can check the forecast or preplan the routes irrespective of the way he prefers to travel: by foot or by car. There’s also the possibility for him to synchronize this information between the Ovi Maps that he accesses on the mobile device and the Ovi Maps accessed on the web.

If you’re interested, you can go to the official website and download the latest version of this Nokia application.
