Nokia X3 was launched as a hybrid design with a small touchscreen and a 12-button keypad.

Despite two sets of controls, the X3 Touch and Type is one of Nokia’s thinnest devices at 9.6mm deep, 106mm tall, 48mm wide and weighs just 78g.

Phone aluminum housing is finished and can be found in five categories of colors which may attract the most demanding connoisseur trends.

Apparently China doesn’t make any of the software that runs on computers albeit manufacturing most of them as the software is usually supplied by the likes of Microsoft and Apple, but if they need to outsource they usually turn to India.

According to the China Internet Network Information Centre there are roughly 277 million Chinese using a mobile phone, and that over half of China’s computer users don’t own a computer but access the internet via their mobile handset.

Starting today Google allows us to call any phone from the computer of the service through offered by Gmail.All you need to do is download a plug-in app on to your computer and you can dial phone numbers straight from your Gmail screen.

If you have a Google Voice Number, calls made from Gmail will display this number as the outbound ID. You can also choose to receive incoming calls to your Google Voice Number through Gmail.

Samsung Fascinate is the best selling cell phone mobil.BBM had announced a news through a press:

“The Verizon Wireless Samsung Fascinate™ is available for pre-order starting August 29. As an added and exclusive bonus, Best Buy Reward Zone members can reserve the Samsung Fascinate on August 27, two days before it goes on pre-sale to the general public. That priority access will help ensure that Reward Zone members get their device first.”

No pricing was mentioned in the article; although $199 with a 2-year contract is a safe bet. The device still doesn’t have an official release date, but that has to be coming very soon.

RIM company has every reason to celebrate this year because they DevCon unofficial number 9888 Apps, games, themes and all sorts of applications in World app. They are close enough to reach the threshold of 10,000 Apps exactly one month before DevCon.

I was also happy to note that I spotted quite a few decent and useful $0.99 apps showing up so hopefully the tide has turned on relatively expensive BlackBerry apps.

The top five categories with most packages in  App World are:

1. Themes – 2217
2. Reference & eBooks – 1665
3. Games – 1524
4. Utilities – 710
5. Productivity – 377

I really wish RIM would share some of the stats behind App World showing what sells and what does not.

For those who have purchased a BlackBerry Torch 9800, or currently have a device that is running OS 6 they may have ran into a bit of a problem. Currently App World shows themes that are not at all compatible with OS 6.

We don’t doubt that those people are pretty upset if they purchased a theme for their Torch and come to find out it doesn’t work. The new theme builder should hopefully solve all of this for OS 6 devices.
