We have some fresh rumors about the recent events that the Finnish company is said to be preparing right now and they couldn’t be more exciting. After the release of many cheap cell phones targeted, as you all know by now, at the emerging markets, here we have something about a new Nokia tablet.

It seems that the next flagship device to be based on Maemo, the operating system that was designed by Nokia for their line of handheld computers called Nokia Internet Tablet, will be the N900 Rover, which is expected to come with the Maemo 5 and with all sorts of ground-breaking features.

The N900 Rover hasn’t been announced by now, but same rumors, coming from MobileCrunch, say that it will be equipped with phone capabilities. According to the same source, the device will start selling sometime during this summer.

Now let’s take a short look to the features list which is quite impressive, as you’ll be able to figure it out for yourselves: quad band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and tri band UMTS/HSDPA (900/1700/2100 MHz), a 3.5 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and a cover that slides, GPS and Wi-Fi, VoIP support, accelerometer, multitasking, Firefox 3 (the browser comes with support for the 9.4 version of Flash), an OMAP 3430 processor at 500 or 600 MHz, a virtual runtime memory of 1GB, an internal memory of 32GB and microSDHC card slot for expandable memory of no more than 16GB.



The new Nokia tablet measures 111 x 59.7 x 18.2 millimeters, weighs 180 grams and runs on a 1320 mAh battery.

As for the availability, it seems that the first carrier that will have the chance to include it in its line-up will be T-Mobile, probably in July, even if Americans shouldn’t be too excited, because they’ll put their hands on the Nokia N900 only in August or even September. In Asia and the Middle East it will get in July, while in October this year it is expected to become available in the majority of the European markets.

A couple of days after the release of the Samsung t349, which was presented as an affordable device with a half-QWERTY keyboard, aimed at budget-conscious people, T-Mobile USA announced the introduction of another similar cell phone.

The new phone is called Samsung t239 and it seems that T-Mobile is preparing the same cheap cell phone plan for it as for the t349. More than that, rumors say that the new model is going to even cheaper than the previous one.



The slider comes with the following list of features: dual band GSM connectivity 850/1900 MHz, a TFT display with a resolution of 177 x 220 pixels, a VGA photo camera, Bluetooth connectivity, MMS, Web2go, myFaves and an internal memory of only 10MB. Being a basic cell phone, you shouldn’t expect to get more. It measures 1.87 x 3.78 x 0.68 inches.



The phone is expected to become available in two different colors, dark scarlet and grey, with a pre-pay price of no more than $59.99. According to Howard Forums, you can immediately buy the Samsung t239, if you want to, via Sears.



As for the availability via T-Mobile USA, the details are still unknown, but hopefully you will be able to buy it for free, without signing a contract agreement.

It is not a bad idea for a very successful cell phone to be brought from the dead, especially if the certain phone is expected to still create sensation if it were available in the market. It is not a bad idea if the company knows very well that there’s a real demand coming from the customers concerning the cell phone in discussion. Otherwise, efforts are useless.

This is what happened with the Motorola A1200, which was known as the Motorola Ming phone. It behave better than the company would have expected it to behave when it was released, back in 2006. Yearning for those days, Motorola decided to revive that fever, so it has just unveiled the new Motorola A1200R.



The most important differences between the two handsets consist of the following features that you won’t be able to find withing the old version: widgets (you have easy access to weather information, news and so on), the Microsoft Office document editing, FM radio, business card scanner which is based on OCR technology (also known as Optical Character recognition) and an external memory of 1GB that is included in the package.



The camera and the display are exactly the same: a 2 megapixel camera and a QVGA display with touch sensitive capabilities.

The new Motorola Ming phone has just been announced in Argentina, so chances are very high for it to become available in other countries from Latin America. As for its price, we don’t know how much it will cost you to revive the Ming fever, but we’ll keep you informed.

If you’re looking for expensive cell phones for you and your better half, because you have the most eccentric and expensive desires people could have, then you’d be glad to know that Gresso has prepared two new expensive handsets.

Two months ago the Russian company unveiled the so-called Lady Diamond collection and now it’s time for the Gresso Lady Gold and the Gresso Ultramarine Gold. And guess what? We’re talking about an expensive cell phone for him and another for her.

While the Gresso Ultramarine Gold, for example, has a blue case, being a statement for “strength and serenity”, the Lady Gold is red, brilliant red, as a matter of fact, and represents the perfect “ode to femininity, to elegance and to beauty”.

The two cell phones aren’t very different, as they come with the same features. Actually, they’re very similar to other Gresso devices that we are already accustomed to.



They are both made of very expensive materials: the function keys, for example, are made of 18K gold and the case is made of a titanium alloy and a ceramic coverage which is the result of a high technology. There’s a gold triangle on the front panel, while the back panel, made of sapphire glass, is adorned with a logo that is covered with gold thick of 10 micron. As for the battery cover, this is all made of stainless steel and leather.



The features, on the other hand, include: a TFT display with 65k colors and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, tri band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz, the Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard operating system, WAP 2.0, Bluetooth 1.2, a 2 megapixel camera, audio player, video player, an internal memory of 64MB and no more than 2GB of external memory.



Measuring 119.5 x 48 x 14 millimeters and weighing 150 grams, the phone comes with a standard Li-ion 1100 mAh battery that provides up to 4 hours of talk time and up to 150 hours of stand-by time.

Both cell phones are a more affordable, if I may say so, than the previous Gresso device, the Lady Diamond, as they cost 4,800 Euros, meaning approximately $6,525. But, if you really take into consideration these expensive cell phones, you should hurry up, because there are no more than 15 pieces of each model to be built.

Dual SIM mobile phones aren’t precisely what one can call a cutting edge apparition on the market, but people are still excited about having them, because they have the possibility to satisfy both their personal and professional needs.

Each and every company is trying to have dual SIM devices in their range of products, and so does the Czech company called Mivvy, which you most probably haven’t heard about up until now. I don’t know about you, after all, but I must confess I haven’t. Anyway, the point is the Czech company has just introduced three dual SIM mobile phones. Not one, but three. They were baptized as it follows: Mivvy Dual TV Touch, Mivvy Dual Nio and Mivvy Dual Slide.



Now, characteristic to all three handsets is that they come with tri band GSM/GPRS connectivity 900/1800/1900 MHz), while the second SIM card is based on the GSM frequencies of 900/1800 MHz.

The first in this discussion is the Mivvy Dual TV Touch, which brings touch sensitive capabilities and, of course, a TV tuner, a 2.6 inch QVGA display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, stereo speakers, MP3 player, FM radio and WAP browser. The phone measures 107.4 x 52.5 x 14.5 millimeters and weighs no more than 90 grams, providing 4 hours of talk time and 140 hours of stand-by time.



Let’s pay some attention to the second phone, the Mivvy Dual Slide which is equipped with a 2 inch display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, a photo camera, Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 player and FM radio.

As for the last one, the Mivvy Dual Nio, it is very similar to the previous one, the Dual Slide, the only difference consisting of the QVGA display.



The prices are probably very important for all of you, so here you have them: the Dual TV Touch retails for 160 Euros (or $215), the Dual Slide for 150 Euros (or $202), while the Dual Nio costs no more than 120 Euros (or $162). The only disadvantage is that you’ll have to go to the Czech Republic in order to get one for yourself.
