Filed under: Cell Phone News — Admin @ 12:12 pm

Delivering big features in a small device with a stylish design, Samsung and T-Mobile USA released their smallest slider phone, the SGH-E635.

Smaller in length than a credit card, its sturdy slide-up design allows for both a vibrant screen and a user-friendly keypad. The E635 is suited both for trendsetters seeking the most fashionable mobile phone, as well as wireless users seeking advanced communication features.

An exclusive to T-Mobile, the little device packs a powerful punch of features one might not expect in such a compact phone, including a speakerphone, digital camera with zoom and flash, and built-in instant messaging (IM).

As smartphone purchasing and usage become more prolific Nokia and Symantec want to offer security solutions that will help protect personal information, such as contact databases, stored on smartphones in addition to connected networks.

"Mobile devices are changing the way consumers and businesses live and work," said Sarah Hicks, Vice President of mobile and wireless solutions, Symantec Corp.

The agreement also will enable the other Series 60 licensees to evaluate and test Symantec’s mobile security solutions for their Series 60 based smartphones.

Fingered by Yubi-Wa

Like every convention, CEATAC Japan 2005 has its fair share of duds. NTT DoCoMo is currently displaying a concept finger phone that is connected to your finger via a ring. The phone works exactly like a Bluetooth device, except that you’d look pretty ridiculous putting a finger to your ear whenever you need to receive or make a call. Definitely not the phone to use when you’re out to impress a date.

Take on Nokia N90

Nokia’s N series come with heavy expectations after all the marketing hype – the N90 is unfortunately an average phone for its generation. Credit must be given to its Carl Zeiss lens for taking some fantastic looking 2 megapixel photos.
