“Physically, the W810 is about the same size and shape as the W800 before it. It weighs 98.8g (3.5oz) with SIM and memory card and measures 100mm x 46mm x 19mm (3.9″ x 1.8″ x .75″) in size. The new keypad design is not all that different from that found in the W800, except that there is now space between each column of keys as well as each row. This makes the new keys a bit smaller, but realistically has no impact at all on usability. The new control cluster underneath the display has changed quite a bit, though. The joystick has been replaced with a reasonable d-pad that has been marked for music control. The left and right softkeys share a piece of plastic with the back and clear keys, respectively. The lone Walkman button of the W800 has been replaced by matching Walkman and Shortcut keys on either side, a nice addition. Overall feel and action from all of the controls is good, but the key clusters on either side of the d-pad are a bit cramped for my liking, and I also prefer a good joystick to a good d-pad any day of the week.” Read this BIG review here:

“Blockeroo is a free, multiplayer puzzle game for Series 60 mobile phones. It differs from other similar puzzle games in three ways:
Blockeroo is primarily a multiplayer game. You can play in single player or practice mode, but the multiplayer game is much more fun.
Blockeroo allows you to compete against 3 human opponents over Bluetooth. In fact, the game allows you to select 7 human opponents but due to the limitations of bluetooth you are likely to experience considerable network lag if you challenge more than 3 humans simultaneously.
Blockeroo contains some cunning artificial intelligence that allows you to play against bots (algorithms that play Blockeroo without human intervention). Consequently, the multiplayer game can still be enjoyed even if you have no friends with Series 60 devices or indeed no friends”. Check it here:

“In the Internet appear another rumors based on a leaked photo of the next would-be RAZR-phone under the code name Motorola RAZR Canary. There is still no info about the model except for the photo of the phone in closed mode.We hope this time Motorola will surprise us with something original instead of another copy of the keyboard design. The distinction we see at once is the mirror surface of this clamshell.” via mobile-review.com

“The analyst I know spoke with Palm management this week and shared with me that Palm expects to release a new “antenna-less” Treo in July on Vodaphone’s network. This matches the description we’d previously been given of the Treo product codenamed “Hollywood.” This is expected to run Windows Mobile and (my best guess) will have a 3G (HSDPA) radio. My informant says it will be released with a big media fanfare in five markets.Palm is on track for the announced four 2006 Treo releases, but it sounds like Treo #4, previously thought to be a lower cost Treo codenamed “Low Rider” may be something different now. My confidential source said that his contact at Palm spoke of a Treo that (in my interpretation) matched the description we had for Low Rider, but said it would be released in 2007.More details, as usual, can be found on this blog: http://www.pikesoft.com/blog/index.php?itemid=67” via mobileread.com

“In April it is time to sum up 1Q. Both vendors and market analysts offer their versions of quarter reports. Well, the analytical company Strategy Analytics has also summed up the passed period and made some forecasts.It estimated the world mobile phone shipments volume reached 229 million units, a 31% year on year rise. According to the company, mobile phones unprecedentedly broke a 200 million units mark in 1Q, which is traditionally weak.Motorola stands out among mobile phone vendors, according to Strategy the company gained a 20% market share for the first time since 1998. Nokia’s share also grew. Sony Ericsson sold more than 2 million Walkman music phones, its shipments also jumped. BenQ-Siemens phones are still out of Top-5.Considering optimistic news from the first echelon players Strategy foresees that the shipments volume of 1 billion will be reached this year, i.e. a 22% rise against 817 million handsets sold last year.” via mobile-review.com

“Venzero isn’t the biggest company in the world, so don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of them. That said, their latest MP3 player, the ONE, comes packed with a whole slew of features that will get anyone’s juices going, including 8 gigabytes of built-in memory. They’ve kept the package small, with the ONE tipping the scales at less than 100 grams and measures just 98 x 58 x 14 mm, fitting snugly into any shirt pocket. There’s also a high-resolution 2-inch color display, a second USB port to mate up with other portable storage devices, and direct support for MusicMarker, a first in the business.The Shareport allows you to easily exchange content with other USB devices, including portable hard drives and thumb drives, without needing to connect either device to a computer. That’s right, the Vanzero ONE can “share in” and “share out”, thanks to the ingrated file manager. And PlaysForSure junkies will be happy to hear that the ONE does that too. The MusicMarker innovation identifies unknown songs.Look for the Vanzero ONE multimedia (yes, it does video and pictures too) player to start shipping in the middle of June with a suggested retail price of $290.” via mobilemag.com

“If you’re tired of being like everyone else and strolling down the street playing a rehashed PS2 title on your black Sony PlayStation Portable, you’ll be happy to hear that the iPod white-like version is now available to you, the North American consumer. Don’t start running to your closest Wal-Mart or Best Buy just yet, however, because you’ll still need to import the little white devil.While the street price for the White PSP-1000 CW in Japan is a mere $175, because you live here in the not-so-privileged continent of North America, you’ll have to fork over $210 to the good people at Play-Asia to get your hands on one. It’s just the core unit, so you won’t get any of the special accessories and whatnot that come bundled in some value packs on the market.It’s still not that bad of a deal, considering the standard issue black Sony PSP Core goes for $200 at most retailers, so you are only putting up a $10 premium to stand out from the crowd. In related news, the Nintendo DS Lite is available in all three colors through Lik-Sang.” via mobilemag.com
