Recently Mac Funamizu who is famous Japanese designer introduced Glassy Glassy mobile phone concept. But today he showed another future mobile device. Shape factor of Lupa phone is very similar to Motorola Aura’s one. The navigation panel resembles those one which iPod has. Unfortunately the author of this future phone doesn’t tell us about performance attributes but only proposes future solutions for mobile devices producers.

It is rumored that future Sony Ericsson XPERIA series phones will be produced by Mobinnova company. Such collaboration can be very useful for both companies. It is known that Mobinnova is “responsible” for Ultimate 8502 and Ultimate 9502. Recently this company proved oneself one more time – it announced Mobinnova ICE communicator. This device has classic shape factor and runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. The list of features includes 3 inch touch WQVGA screen, Qualcomm MSM7201ATM 528 MHz CPU, 256 MB ROM, 128 MB RAM, 3 Mp camera with autofocus, FM radio with RDS/RBDS, TV out, microSD memory card slot, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS modules. Supported network standards are GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) и WCDMA/HSPA (900/1900/2100 MHz). Another interesting feature is additional 1.1 inch OLED screen with 128x96 px resolution. It gives an opportunity to customize navigation buttons for different phone’s functions.

More and more phones with Dual SIM mode support. Philips also introduced Xenium X710. This mobile device has classic shape factor. The design of X710 is usual for this company. This mobile phone pretends to be "long-liver". The battery has 1900 mAh capacity so in spite of Dual SIM function support this phone provides 12 hour of talk mode. Philips Xenium X710 is assigned for GSM/EDGE 900/1800/1900 networks and has 2.4 inch screen with 240x320 px resolution, 3 Mp camera with autofocus, Bluetooth 2.0 module, 20 Mb built in memory, microSD card slot (up to 8 GB) and FM radio. Unfortunately there is no any information about its price.

Scientists introduced new cheap and effective method to transform usual mobile phone to blood analyzer. It is said that such method can very useful in Africa where that number of HIV and malaria infected people is very large and professional analysis tools are not available. The essence of this process is that: special application analyzes photos which is got by means of built in camera with additional light filter. According to scientists due to this technology more than hundred microbes can be identified. By the way this photo shows that the resolution of phone’s camera is not of great importance.

It was known that Sony Ericsson company had joined Open Handset Alliance last week and had announced its Android based smartphone by the beginning of the summer. But funs of SE mobile devices have already introduced some concept Sony Ericsson Android based devices. This is Sony Ericsson G703 which was designed by Xell from Esato community. This android concept phone combines features of XPERIA and HTC G1. It has QWERTY keyboard and full list of Google web applications. This device is very nice so I hope that future Sony Ericsson smartphone will look like G703 concept

According to some sources Philips company is going to announce X520 phone which is improved version of Xenium 9@9j It is rumored that company has already canceled this phone and it will never appear on sale). The main feature of Philips X520 is opportunity to work both with built in accumulator and AAA battery. In contrast to its relative this coming mobile phone will have 2 Mp camera (9@9j has 1.3 Mp), FM radio with RDS support and microSD card slot (up to 2Gb). Other performance attributes are the same with 9@9j phone and include 176х220 px TFT screen, Bluetooth with A2DP and miniUSB port

Nokia recently announced the N97, which is the latest in a long line of business phones from the Finns. The most notable thing about the handset is the great touch screen (which Nokia finally appear to have "got right") and the raft of features that put the handset up there with most mobile internet PCs like the Eee and its raft of imitators.

Nokia Maps has had an upgrade. This was perhaps inevitable, for two reasons. Firstly, people love the GPS functionality. Personally, I use Nokia maps regularly, especially when stumbling around a big city like London, or when sitting on a train and curious. The second reason for stronger GPS functionality on phones is probably more significant.

Location based mobile marketing is being touted as the "next big thing" in advertising/marketing - just ask NMA magazine (not to be confused with the rather less rock 'n roll NME). It has, of course, been touted as such for about five years but the technology is finally reaching a point where people are regularly consulting their handsets for directions. "Wow" say the marketers, "if people are looking for directions, what better time could there be to shove advertising down their throats? GO TO CAFE NERO. GO TO CAFE NERO". This is, of course, a dramatisation, but the techology is becoming more and more popular and mobile marketers are pushing clients hard to go down this route.

Back to the handset. Good camera (same as the N95), good keyboard (nicely spaced), useful tilty screen (to help with glare), good MP3 and video compatibility and 32gb of internal memory make this an attractive proposition. The digital compass is a nice touch too.

All in all, another strong offering from Nokia.

Merry Christmas!

Yesterday evening I updated the Firmware on my N95 8GB. This was something of a pain in the ass, largely because it took around 10 minutes to shift Spiderman 3 from the handset to the laptop on which I was backing up the phone.

Spiderman 3 came loaded for free on a number of N95 8GB mobile phones. The only drawback was that you had to sign in to a website to validate it... or something like that... and I really couldn't be bothered. And frankly, who could? Spiderman 3? On a two inch screen? Meh.

Anyway, once Spiderman had squeezed its way through the USB cable, data transfer was quick and painless, which is a big step forward for Nokia PC Suite; one of the most loathsome programs ever conceived.

So, on with the installation.

I got an early indication of how it feels to be out of touch with "the young people today" when PC Suite told me that I was on Firmware version 15 and the new install would be version 20something. Horrible.

Anyway, the upshot is that I can finally use the GPS on my phone after months of angling it on a windowsill, waiting 20 mins and then occasionally connecting to a satellite. And, what's more, it's actually fully integrated with Google maps so you can get lovely images as an option. Which is great.

This is going to make navigation of London streets much easier, although at a cost... Vodafone data transfer is not cheap and Google maps is very data intensive. They do offer an add on at £7.50 per month which allows up to 120mb of data transfer, but I'm not sure that I will use that much data.

All in all... the update is a very good thing indeed. I am now tempted to go for a long walk just to use the GPS. Maybe I'll find a nice park bench, take a seat and watch Spiderman 3.

The author of this future phone is Peter Kubik. This concept device features three touch screens which can be combined into one. This big screen supports both portrait and landscape mode. at any time user can get access to virtual QWERTY keyboard. Due to special prop on the back side of the phone it can be placed on any horizontal surface to make TV of movie viewing more comfortable.

Trigger company has just announced new mobile internet device which is named Lluon Mobbit. In contrast to most of MIDs this gadget runs on Windows XP but not on Linux. This mobile device has 4.8 inch touch screen with 1024x600 px resolution. The user interface gives an opportunity to control all functions by means both of fingers and stylus. The set of features also includes Intel Atom Z520 1.3 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 30 GB hard disk, 2 Mp camera, DMB-T module and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and WiBro support. Its size is 166x88x21 mm. Lluon Mobbit MID will be released in the beginning of the next year and will cost $410.

Once in a while, it's nice to take a break from looking into future mobile phones and concentrate on the present ones especially if the phone is the Nokia N97. The Nokia N97 is Nokia's new touch screen phone but with an added slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Cell Phone Reviews was able to take a closer look at the device and now has the Nokia N97 Review posted on their website. I have to admit, the mobile phone does look promising. So it looks a bit like the love child of the Google G1 Phone and the iPhone but who cares? I'm sure the Nokia N97 will give its parents--er, predecessors a run for their money.

The main advantage of this concept phone is 7.1 Mp camera with autofocus and optical zoom. There is also Walkman 3.0 media player. In addition Sony Ericsson K5i future mobile phone has WVGA touch screen, 0.48 Mp frontal camera for video calls (30 fps), Wi-Fi module, 256 Mb memory, M2 and microSD memory cards support (up to 8 Gb), 3.5 mm audio jack. This phone also supports such wireless standards as EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA. Besides SE k5i can be synchronized with Windows XP and Vista and can be used as web camera.

After the acquisition of Symbian Limited by Nokia, it is announced that Nokia N97 will run on Symbian OS. We should know now Symbian operating system is under an open-source license. So, the benefit of Symbian OS as open source will take the Nokia N97 customer.

Finally Sony has a new upcoming cellphone technology to be release in the market and it was called the C905 Cyber-shot™ front sliding phone with 8.1 mega pixel camera. Based on what I’ve read on Sony Blog, the upcoming C905 model will be the flagship Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phone that you’ll want to show them off and bring out the photographer in you. All you need in perfect pictures is already on this phone as it featured; faced detection for focusing shots and smart contrast balances for light and color.

Some information about Pantech Duo 2 sliding mobile phone has just appeared on the FFC web site.

It is known that Pantech Duo 2 supports 850/1900 GSM/EDGE/WCDMA and has 2 Mp camera, Bluetooth 2.0 module and microSD memory card slot. The operating system is Windows Mobile 6.1. Unfortunately we have no more infroamtion about this coming phone. Nevertheless the fact of FFC certification means that Duo 2 will be officially announced in the near future.

Mac Funamizu who is famous designer-futurist created its new mobile phone concept. It was named Glassy Glassy. This future mobile device looks charming and represents combination of minimalism and elegant design. It is clamshell phone which is made of two gauzy plates with metal edging. As the case may be each of these plates can be used both for inputting and displaying of any information. Besides due to these two plates picture on the screen create an illusion of 3D graphic presentation
