Playstation Phone First Look

This video was about my initial impressions about the very interesting PSP Phone. The phone has a very similar form factor to that of a PSP Go. However, it will be running on the Android platform. It should provide the latest firmware, which will be 3.0. You will also be able to play titles from the PSP which I think is a great feature for all the gamers out there. The phone has a d-pad so that will be great for gaming. Playstation phone also packs a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM. There haven't been too many details released about the phone, so I will continue to provide details for you! Thank you for watching!

T-Mobile's Project Emerald: HTC Glacier - Dual Core Smartphone

Recently, T-Mobile has hinted towards one of their future endevor's entitled "Project Emerald". In Quarter 4 of 2009, T-Mobile had announced "Project Black", which entailed great budget plans for current and future T-Mobile customers. The buzz that follows this year's "Project" is that T-Mobile will be unveiling a new HTC smartphone to compliment their brand new HSPA+ network. With the addition of the Samsung Vibrant, it would seem that T-Mobile is attempting to take a step forward in the competitive smartphone race. It's obvious that T-Mobile has been behind in the race with its fellow carriers for having "The Best Smartphone" available, so hopefully this "Project Emerald" will help usher T-Mobile ahead of the pack.

It can be assumed that this rumored phone will take advantage of T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, considering the fact that T-Mobile does not currently have a HSPA+ enabled phone available on their network.

In this video, I discuss T-Mobile's Project Emerald, as well as the rumored HTC Glacier.

BlackBerry Torch Announced

Today, RIM held an event in New York City to announce their newest smartphone, the BlackBerry Torch. We've heard rumors and seen leaked shots of this phone, and we finally get its specs today. First, the phone will be available on AT&T for $200 with a 2yr. contract, which is inline with most of their other smartphones. The phone itself is a slider phone, a first for RIM, with a 3.2" touchscreen (We'll have to see if it has the same touchscreen as the Storm line. The phone has the same trademark BB keyboard that we know and love. It has your typical BB buttons, including the new optical trackpad, in favor of the older trackball. The Torch has a 5-megapixel camera, finally moving away from RIM's 3.2 megapixel obsession, with a flash. The phone is running the newest version of BlackBerry's OS, OS 6, with WiFi and Quadband 3G, which will work internationally as well as here in the states. The Torch has 512MB of RAM, a nice feature, considering most of RIM's other phones have 256. The phone ships with 4GB of internal storage, and a 4GB microSD card. The Torch has a new feature called Media Sync, which lets your wirelessly sync your phone to your computer over WiFi, something us iPhone owners have been wanting for a while. 

The phone will be available through AT&T starting in December for $199 with a 2yr. contracts, and if you don't already have an account with AT&T, you'll only have the option of 250MB of data, or 2GB. I hope you've enjoyed my rundown of all the new and exciting features in the new BlackBerry Torch.

14-Megapixel Smartphone Coming Next Month?

In the past cell phones haven’t always had very powerful cameras. Sony Ericsson introduced the Satio, which was a pretty good phone with a 12-megapixel camera. But now Altek is teasing us with their new “Leo” model, which apparently has a 14-megapixel camera on the back. Alex Hsia stated in the company’s press release, “Picture taking has already risen to become one of the most important mobile phone functions for consumers."

Phones able to capture high definition, high quality images and video are a win‐win for users, as well as telecommunication service providers. The camera also has the ability to capture 720p video. The phone will officially be released next month at the CommunicAsia show in Singapore. But since this phone is still a phone, it has your typical smartphone features: Wi-Fi and HSDPA. Engadget speculated the phone will most likely be running Android OS, however version information has not yet been released. Pricing information hasn't been announced either, but as the CommunicAsia rolls out, we most likely will hear more information on this monster of a smartphone.
