Nokia N94i running Windows Mobile a Chinese fake?

Unlocking iPhone from AT&T gets easier, still a pain
Sony Ericsson K810i bestseller
Sony Ericsson K810i-stylish variation on last year's bestseller, Sony Ericsson K800i. Changes from the original small. Most notable are diminished thickness and the stronger door cameras. Of obvious minuses noted the lack of support EDGE and the average video-recording of the same ills suffered and K800i. Advantages of an updated model, however, inherited a much more - is a different camera, and excellent time work offline, and more.Remember that devices based on different hardware platforms, while nominally extremely close. K790i noteworthy that support EDGE, and the K800i focus on the use of third-generation networks. It is easy to guess index, the new K810i is still K800i, but supports 3G, which is not too important for the Russian market.
The most important innovation, which immediately striking is the new keyboard design. Keys original forms are grooved surface (something to recalls phone Mobiado, looks interesting). Unfortunately, as is often the case, stylish form requires compromise-in buttons for K810i less convenient than a K800i. This concerns and the lights-it only pieces keys, which is less comfortable. Changed to block navigation, even though there had been an evolutionary process, no losses. Now elements better segmented, which makes us they seemed more comfortable. This is not true of the joystick, which has been drowned too deep (even below the shell). However, the manufacturer promises to the entry of the final version completely correct all the deficiencies test sample and bring ergonomics K810i, as a minimum, to the K800i.
Another important difference in the appearance of fully-glossy front panel. Moment controversial, as now looks extremely phone brand, it has to be mopping, including keyboard area. This is very impractical and deeply disappointing, given the lack of Sony Ericsson plans to set K810i protective films (such as that provided by LG). The opening performance on screen was smaller and had lost protective grilles, which is not very pleasant. But nearby navigation keys have been increased and the symbol of its functionality, on the other hand, are encouraged.
Buy Sony Ericsson K810i is a matter of taste, since most of the changes in comparison with the K800i affects design. From our point of view would be interesting update K790i is still no EDGE embarrassing. There are also record video with a resolution of only 176 1800 (even Nokia 6233 camera at 2 Mpix QVGA- recorded video). Just need to be borne in mind that this time the manufacturer has chosen to modify the form, rather than content. The office serves as an alternative K800i, but not as a new product. Such an extension line for Sony Ericsson is not new. For example, the same course we have seen in recent W610i and W660i. The policy is effective is that the address and K810i. K800i change it is not quite accurate, innovation minimal. But when choosing a new vehicle is to look K810i, especially if you are attracted to design this system.
Of note competitors Nokia N73, partly Samsung U600. At Nokia side to the software is a full-fledged smartphone. Kozyr Samsung-subtle corps. Yes, and the price of both models below ... But apart from the merits of the original K810i K800i offers plus appearance, as the Finnish and Korean opponents watched paler.

Google Phone Prototypes, Software, Project Costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars
Valleywag realizes that Google will not likely do phone hardware themselves. Whatever. As long as it supports the software, hopefully some shiny Mobile Google OS, we're interested. Either way, this is what the WSJ and Reuters said today:
•"Now it is drafting specifications for phones that can display all of Google's mobile applications at their best, and it is developing new software to run on them. The company is conducting much of the development work at a facility in Boston, and is working on a sophisticated new Web browser for cellphones."
•Google has invested hundreds of millions on the project.
•Google has also developed prototype phones, with partners like LG Electronics.
• "ads in the mobile phone is that they are twice as profitable or more than the nonmobile phone ads because they're more personal" says Eric Schmidt (from AllthingsD)
•In Europe, T-Mobile and Orange are believed to be partners. Verizon rejected their plans in the US because they wanted to share ad revenue.
•Taiwan's High Tech Computer Corp to design a Linux software-based phone for launch in the first quarter of 2008
