Like all the phones they have until now weren’t enough, Nokia just threw left and right with details about the new N97. Under the hood it rolls with a 3.5-inch, 640 x 360 pixel touchscreen display with tactile feedback and QWERTY keyboard. But wait, there’s more. HSDPA, WiFi, and Bluetooth radios, A-GPS, a 3.5-mm headjack, 32GB of onboard memory with microSD expansion (for up to 48GB total capacity), and a battery capable of up to 1.5 days of continuous audio playback or 4.5-hours video are also on the list. And last but not least, a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss glass and "DVD quality" video capture at 30fps, complete what we know about the N97 until now.

If this is worth paying €550 or $693, that is for you to decide when it will come out next year.

Who cares if you got one month until then, you can never be too prepared. And I know some of you out there want what’s the best in mobile phones, so we got for you Samsung Omnia. Packing a 3.2” touch screen display and Windows Mobile 6.1, from what birdies told me in different reviews, it seems we are in for one of the best phones out there.

Let’s see what else we got under the hood. Well to start, we got the TouchWiz, that allows us users to tune and customize the phone the way we want it with widgets. You get one-touch access to the applications you use most. The keyboard is an on-screen QWERTY.

If this isn’t enough for you to add this baby on the X-mass list, here is some more for y’all: Opera 9.5 Mobile Browser support, a 5 megapixel camera with digital zoom and LED flash, video recording capability, stereo Bluetooth connectivity and Wi-Fi support. The retail price is $249.99 and a $70 mail-in rebate and agreeing to a 2-year contract. Not sure about adding this to my shopping list, but on my wish list, I definitely will add.

I didn’t. But in case there are people who actually did, i have the answer: the Asus P565. Packing a 800MHz Marvell processor may blow you off your seat, but it lost my attention when i saw it has Windows Mobile 6.1. Other hardware include a 480×640 touchscreen to help you acces the features inside this gizmo -HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and 24fps video recording- and many others that are standard nowadays for a smartphone.
For me the Asus P565 doesn’t cut it, but there are people who buy phones twice a month or something like that just because they want to have the newest stuff. Compensating for something maybe?

Right now Vodafone has exclusivity to the phone, but this is the last month that they have it.

palm-treo-500v While the specs for this model haven’t been revealed yet, we can assume that they will be the same as the Palm Treo 500v model that is currently offered by Vodafone.

These specs are:

  • 320×240 display with 65,536 colours
  • Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
  • tri-band GSM/GPRS and 3G
  • 256MB of Flash memory
  • Micro SD slot for expansion

Since it will not be offered by Vodafone anymore, the 500v will lose the "v" letter and will probably be sold just as Treo 500.

The operating system will be Windows Mobile 6. The price is not known yet, but the current version is sold for £299.
