Inadvertently or perhaps intentionally, Nokia officials have overlooked some documents and a video clip related to a phone to be launched this year: Nokia X10. The video has been removed from YouTube, but photocopies of technical data remained.

Nokia X10 will be a slider QWERTY keyboard that will build on Symbian OS^3. We have an ARM processor at 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM, a 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16 GB or 32 GB storage space, 5 MP camera, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and A-GPS. In other words, about all you have to have a top phone.

The Global Mobile Awards jury decided: the phone of 2009 is smartphone HTC Hero. On the nominations list was found in May 9700 Blackberry Bold, Samsung Omnia HD, Samsung S5230 Star and Huawei U8220 (T-Mobile Pulse).

What can we say, we are happy that HTC Hero was elected, even if Omnia HD was preferred by most of us. Taiwanese smartphone is really valued and dignified facilities, despite some shortcomings such as inability to transfer files via Bluetooth or lack of advanced multimedia support, is back with a huge potential platform (Android). Applications will certainly appear to cover gaps.

Even if you have not heard a lot about the company Alcatel, which some time ago were in the state to impose standards in the mobile industry, this time they were reactivated and released several models of smart phones, in keeping with other players in the industry.

One of the models launched by them is OT-980 that targets specific Tattoo model from HTC, and between the specifications mentioned: Android 2.1, HSPA, Wireless LAN, AGPS, integrated compass and a 2.8 inch screen, 600 processor MHz and 192MB of RAM

For now this phone produced by LG is still in the prototype stage, but at launch is estimated that its price will be very high.

Samsung launches mobile phone Wave, the first of its kind to use mobile operating system Bada. The presented before the start of Mobile World Congress has a new 3.0 TouchWiz interface, which favors an easier handling of widgets.

Mobile terminal is that users of social networking, like Facebook or Twitter, providing a social hub linking contacts come from similar sources.

New look, considered more consistent, it is useful and others – application developers, who can produce software and Flash-based. A general shop applications will be available in 50 different states by the end of this year, offering users to download multiple payment options.

There are only a few days until the opening of Mobile World Congress 2010 trade fair (15 to 18 February, Barcelona) – the largest event dedicated to mobile telephony and communications. This year, Global Mobile Awards ceremony (the equivalent of the Oscars, but in mobile communications), we find among others that is in the opinion of specialists the best phone released in 2009. Category has five nominees that we present below.

Blackberry Bold 9700

Redoubtable smartphone is receiving a processor clocked at 624 MHz, 256 MB RAM and OS BlackBerry OS 5.0. On the connectivity offers a complete support, consisting of HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 A2DP. Auxiliary branches are the integrated GPS receiver (plus maps BlackBerry Maps) and 3.15 MP camera with autofocus. BlackBerry Bold 9700 ensures a quick handling, thanks to full-QWERTY keyboard and optical touchpad navigation.

The screen measures 2.44 inches and has a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels, thereby overcoming the main competitor of the business category – the Nokia E72. Moreover, E72 is lower and in terms of speed (128 MB RAM, Bold 9700 comes with 256 MB). Sure, the Symbian operating system is more popular and there are many applications for it, so a significant proportion of users would opt for Finnish smartphone instead of Canadian. Therefore, our alternative proposal is the Nokia E72. I believe it can be used more efficiently in terms of software.

Samsung S5230 Star

Can hardly be explained by the presence of this terminal in the list of nominations. As it were dozens of models from different manufacturers and specifications are disappointing: resistive touch screen (there are similar models but with screen capacitance), Lisp 3G/HSDPA and Wi-Fi connections, missing GPS module. Neither the multimedia highlights not too much: 3.15 MP camera without autofocus, QVGA @ 15 fps video recording and Sony’s proprietary interface for connecting headphones.

Samsung has announced a new phone, Samsung S5620 and Monte, the company intends to present at the event in Barcelona.

3 inch LCD screen, 3.2 MP camera, wireless option and microSD card slot up to 16GB are just some of the arguments that Monte uses to attract young people. The phone is focused on socialization and has applications for Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Bebo and other instant messaging networks.

Web browsing is improved by the existence of the accelerometer that rotates the picture with your phone. Monte includes support for Google’s GPS Latitude, as well as Exchange ActiveSync and GoogleSync.

Price was not mentioned, but Sony will have time to present the phone in detail and provides information on the marketing of the Mobile World Congress which will take place in Barcelona between 15-18 February.

Rarely wear on you simultaneously: camera, video, MP3 player, GPS or computer with Internet access. Manufacturers have already demonstrated that a cell phone may be better than an MP3 player or a compact camera. It can successfully fulfill its role of GPS and better job on the Internet, especially on the social and information. In 2010, mobile phones will add another victim to the VC: video camera.

If only Nokia 2009 threatened (by Omnia HD) video cameras, pocket market, here, now two major companies have announced record HD phones: Sony Ericsson and Motorola models Vivaz respectively MOTOROI. And has not yet Mobile World Congress, the fair where all the phones out the ramp and cutting-edge technologies.

As tradition demands, as Samsung is the Samsung to come out with a phone pad High Definition. Nokia has left more soft lately with video cameras and mobile, but could occur anytime a surprise – not the other but have the power necessary to launch such devices. Finally, the fourth generation of iPhone will occur this year and yet we know nothing about the ‘magic’. Why not just record HD? Finally, Samsung is a major producer but has never put a price marked on the photo and video.

Koreans from Samsung have announced a new model, the S5620’s shell Monte. According to the manufacturer, the Samsung S5620 Monte will be a touchscreen accessible. How accessible will be, remains to be seen because those from Samsung have failed to tell us the price.

Samsung S5620 Monte will be based operating system Bada, as initially thought. It will be a so-called “dumb phone” with TouchWiz interface. 2.0. Also, to software chapter we must remember that not lacking dedicated applications like social networks Facebook or Twitter.
