Beautiful White Nokia Lumia 800 is Official

The already sleek and sexy Windows Phone device is being made available in a new colour and it’s looking great.

In Samsung’s ongoing ad campaign to poke fun at Apple fanboys, they decided to break out of the subtle little jabs and went all out for their Super Bowl ad which features the Galaxy Note.

It starts off in the same manner as the other commercials did, only this time, those in line are visibly frustrated and break out in a song and dance routine with a rock star who literally drops out of nowhere. It has to be seen to be believed.

No we’re not here to compare a frozen dessert and a tropical fruit. Pocketnow has put together this interesting video comparing the browsers running on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 and a Nokia Lumia 710 with Windows Phone 7. Now you might think this is not fair to compare a high end device with a more mid-level phone but you may be surpriised. Check out the video after the break.

Microsoft Application Comes To Nokia Smartphone

Last year Nokia has promised to bring Microsoft application to Symbian smartphone. And today Nokia fulfilled their promise, an application called Lync, OneNote, and Office are now available for Nokia Belle.

The HTC Sensation is a smartphone device based on the Android OS. Operating system: Android with HTC Sense

Operating system: Android with HTC Sense
CPU: 1.2 GHz dual core
Internal phone storage: 1GB
RAM: 768 MB
Camera: 8 megapixel with auto focus and dual LED flash
Battery: 1520 mAh

The authorities can track and locate your position anywhere, at any time. So, much for the misnomer call the Freedom Act.Currently, non-GPS phones have to be triangulated between local Cellular Towers, which is time consuming.

Wow, true voice interaction on your iPhone.

Announced today, SIRI will allow for natural voice commands and interaction with your phone. As they tout on the Apple website “ Your wish is its command.”

You can dictate, ask questions, set appointments, send texts via voice and SIRI can even answer, read back your requests and interact in real-time. Apparently, the future has arrived.

Safari Unibar; simply put, is a jailbreak tweak that mimics the Google landing page. A free download from Cydia, Safari Unibar has one input area that combines the address and search bars together similarly to Google Chrome. This app allows for a cleaner interface, without any loss in functionality.

Only in spy movies, did face scanning devices truly exist. Although, during the 2010 Nokia Innovators Hack-a-thon, a software developer hacked together and tested a Face Recognition app in 36 hours, as the rules stated during the contest.

Originally developed for the Symbian3 OS, this app will initially only be compatible with new phones such as the Nokia N8 and Nokia E7. The app simply unlocks the phone when you look into the front camera using bio-metric recognition.

Grab Ice Cream Sandwidch with Sharp AQUOS 104SH

The first officially-announced phone we’ve seen set to run Android version Ice Cream Sandwich will be Sharp’s AQUOS 104SH, slated for Japanese carrier Softbank. Details on the new device were announced by Softbank, along with other handsets from Sharp, Panasonic and Dell. The 104SH is definitely the pick of the litter, with a 4.5-nch 1280 x 720 screen, 1.5GHz dual-core TI OMAP4460 CPU, a 12.1-megapixel camera and a IPX5/IPX7 water resistance rating. Pricing on the new phone wasn’t announced, but Softbank is aiming for a Spring 2012 release window.

Taking a slightly more pedestrian approach is the AQUOS 102SH, a Gingerbread phone due in December. The 102SH appears identical save for a 1GHz processor and some slight adjustments to the phone body. Softbank is highlighting the phone’s dual CDMA/GSM antenna with support for high-capacity data networks with a download speed of up to 21Mbps.

Falling into Japan’s popular photo-centered phone niche, the Panasonic LUMIX 101P features an impressive 13.2-megapixel camera. Otherwise the specs are slightly lower than the AQUOS phones, with a 4-inch, 940 x 540 screen on a IPX5/IPX7 rugged body just 9.8mm thick. The Gingerbread phone is set for release in November.

Lastly we have Dell Streak Pro 101DL, a Gingerbread Android phone rocking a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 960 x 540. The 101DL has a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260 CPU and a camera with “just” 8 megapixels. The Streak is scheduled for release in January.

None of these phones are set for an international release, and with the possible exception of the Dell Streak Pro 101DL, don’t expect them to wash up on American shores any time soon.

Android New App : Hotmail

Microsoft has finally released an official Hotmail App for Android and the native Hotmail app will also be launched for the iOS 5 running Apple devices.
The company aims to revamp Hotmail interface and this new version would reflect on all the mobile versions.
The app supports multiple Hotmail accounts and allows viewing all sub-folders and adding / viewing attachments of the emails received.
The official app black background based interface and depends on push mail mechanism to fetch emails. The app also allows keeping calendar and contacts in sync with the Android mobile phone. Hotmail account owners can view even their sub-folders and even send photos to other contacts using the Hotmail app.
Microsoft plans to release native Hotmail app for Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad once the iOS 5 is released for public.
All the cool kids use Google’s email service because it’s got threading, the search is incredible, and the storage space is practically unlimited. Hotmail people sadly haven’t had a chance to enjoy a rich email client until this time last year when Microsoft launched Windows Phone … and we all know how awesome that OS is doing. Today Microsoft has launched a Hotmail app for Android, the fastest growing mobile platform on the market, and it brings you the same Hotmail experience that you know and love (seriously, love?) on your desktop to your smartphone.
There’s push email, calendar and contact syncing, attachment support (both sending and receiving), and it’ll even support multiple Hotmail accounts should your multiple personalities stuck in the 1990s need to have their communications fix.
