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.

While Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC and others have announced several new models, Nokia has assisted passive to show at Mobile World Congress 2010. Quite bizarre, the Finns have not even come with a new phone. Instead they came with a promise: cheap smartphones.

Those from Nokia, by Lee Williams, head of the Symbian Foundation, I promise that will get the smartphone market, which will cost only 100 euros. These devices will run Symbian ^ 3.

More information was not made public. Only that will be more such terminals and will be released even this year.

Sony Ericsson has announced not just one, but three new phones to boost their current line-up. First off, we have two new iterations of the Xperia X10 – the X10 mini and X10 mini Pro.

They both come with a 2.55-inch QVGA touchscreen display, 5-megapixel autofocus camera with flash, 600MHz processor, WiFi Bluetooth, 3.5mm jack, UMTS HSPA connectivity, A-GPS and Google Maps, and Android 1.6 as its OS running in tandem with Timescape. The obvious difference between the two is the slide-out QWERTY keypad found on the X10 mini pro which should delight messaging aficionados out there.

The other new phone they introduced is the Vivaz Pro. Just like the X10 mini pro, this baby is a slightly modified version of its namesake, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, and also boasts of a QWERTY keypad tucked underneath its touchscreen display. With the exception of its less powerful yet still very capable 5.1-megapixel camera, its specs are almost identical with the Vivaz. It’ll ship with an 8GB microSD card, and will be available in black and white colored variations. The press release of the Vivaz Pro can be found here.

For longer time to fill the big upgrade, Windows Mobile 7, Microsoft has also prepared a version. It is 6.5.3, version that has already been announced for some terminals. An example would be Sony Ericsson Aspen.

Among the novelties introduced by Windows Mobile 6.5.3 include:

* Support multitouch
* Complete interface optimized for touch control
* Zoom function
* Icons of stanby screen can be arranged by drag & drop
* The browser consumes less memory and loads pages faster
* The browser supports multitouch gestures he

Basically, the main novelty is to optimize 100% graphical interface, so no stylus is needed. It was expected to Windows Mobile 7 but we can not cry because it came early.

If you have patience until the new Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 appears to us, you can look over the fence, to Germany or Britain. Or maybe you prefer Japan. In all these countries the phone will be in stores in April, but the price is not yet known.

Strange is that it assumes that the phone will come with the operating system Android 1.6, which is rather outdated, given that there are mobile devices with Android 2.0 or 2.1 installed.

X10 will have an integrated 8 megapixel camera, 1GHz GPU, touchscreen 4 inch (10 cm) and has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, which will cause the terminal to be one of the most expensive in the smartphone category sites. In Japan, DoCoMo will be called Xperia smartphone and will have the same technical characteristics.

Nokia Morph, I’m sure you’ve heard of it. In short, a concept phone is 100% flexible, seemingly impossible. Here, however, that today the Finns have already made the first concrete step and had a patent for flexible display for mobile devices. And other major manufacturers (Sony, Samsung) have revealed similar concepts (even prototypes), but the big question is what will make the whole device can be deformed and integrate specific features in the different forms it will take. Nokia predicts that 2015 will appear as the phone. Increase in working time.

War Nokia – Apple continues with a new episode, more aberrant than before. In short, Apple wants to stop imports of Nokia phones in the United States.

Apple has sent a written complaint to the International Trade Commission, a federal agency in charge of examining business practices. Men’s Steve Jobs require a ban on imports of Nokia phones because the Finnish company uses unfair trade practices.

Action of the Apple is a response to the war unleashed by Sony in December last year. Sony blamed the people at Apple that infringe patents owned by french company.

Most likely, Apple and Nokia will argue that two housekeepers shaken, after which they will reach an agreement.

Far from the eyes of the public indiscretion, those from Sony Ericsson is working on a phone seems to have never had before. Code called Faith and be the first phone from Sony Ericsson with portrait QWERTY keyboard type.

As you can see in the image, the terminal that runs Windows Mobile 6.5. That does not mean that it will also be sold with this version. Up will be launched on the market, is likely to occur and Windows Mobile 7.
