Apple iPhone South Africa

Filed under: Mobile phones — Joy-Anne Goodenough @ 7:21 am

“Another Great innovative Product from an amazing company”

“Finally, the Perfect Phone”

“The BEST much rumored cell phone by Apple lives up to its expectations!”

“Cool device that will end all other devices”

With reviews like this for a phone that hasn’t even been released it seems like Apple have a winner.
If the call quality is good and the screen isn’t to easily scratched, then this will probably be Apple’s biggest product ever and will surpass i-Pod mania and take a large chunk of the cell phone market away from the big players within the industry!

Hope to see the Apple iPhone in South Africa soon.

With cell phones having in-built cameras as a standard feature, deciding which one to opt for is becoming trickier all the time. The cell phone companies all claim to offer the best features, so here is an independent list of the best currently on the market.

NOKIA

Nokia N90
A “Twist & Shoot” camera phone changes from video to still camera in an instant. The images are 2-megapixel with surprisingly good quality - probably thanks to Carl-Zeiss optics. A good range of other features includes an excellent speakerphone.

Nokia 6682
Apart from its bulkiness the Nokia 6682 is great. The full set of great features include an outstanding built-in speakerphone, good display, Bluetooth and of course a megapixel camera.

This is a powerful phone integrates quality multimedia capabilities into cell phone format. Once again a bit on the cumbersome side but convergence junkies will love it.

A well-designed and high-performing EV-DO phone for Verizon Wireless, with digital camera and a digital player.

10MP camera phone - Samsung’s Latest Offering

Filed under: Mobile phones — Joy-Anne Goodenough @ 3:42 am

Samsung SCH-B600 If you’re looking for the world’s first 10MPO camera phone, you’ll need to get to Korea. It could be some time before this baby makes it to the rest of the world.

First unveiled at CeBIT in March this year, the Samsung SCH-B600 is a full 5 mm thinner than its predecessor the 7MP SCH-V770. It is also 10g lighter in weight.

Boasting a full range of features including a 3x optical and a 5x digital zoom, this nifty gadget can also be connected directly to a TV display, allowing shared images and video.

In addition, the SCH-B600 has auto focus and flash, manual white balance, manual focus and burst mode – in other words when it comes to digital photography it has the whole shebang!

Furthermore, its capabilities extend to saving media on MMCmicro cards, streaming TV through its Satellite DMB antennae, and shooting video at 15-30fps and QVGA resolution.

And at the equivalent of £500, you will not be surprised to hear that the must-have MP3 player is incorporated too.

Don’t expect Santa to pop one in your stocking this Christmas though – rather add ‘ticket to Korea’ to your wish list and go shopping for one yourself – that’s the quickest option to get your hands on this hot little number.
