Cellphonesail leaked A few photos of a new 5MP Sony Ericsson Cybershot. It is basically a C902 but with the slightly updated software (i.e. Java Platform 8.4 like on C905). Other than sporting a 5 megapixel resolution, the camera also features auto focus and smile shutter. It has a xenon flash too.
There’s also no GPS, and no 3G functionality. In a return to the convenience seen in K850i, there’s a button for you to toggle between stills, videos, and a gallery of your shots. read more…
The design studio of Art Lebedev, perhaps most well known for their pocket-melting Optimus OLED keyboard. The artists at Art Lebedev dreamed up a WiMAX handset concept phone for use, presumably, on Scartel’s Russian WiMAX networks in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Mac Rumors also points towards a post on its own forums where one user claims to have received a response from Steve Jobs on the where abouts of push notifications. “We’re running a bit late. We want to get it 100% right the first time.” Steve. read more…
The 8 megapixel full touchscreen Samsung M8800 seems to have been announced today – rather quietly in fact.

T-Mobile brought to the attention of its first Android phone’s user’s manual. The G1 manual. User Guide has over the 48 page PDF, the first thing We noticed there was a misspelling of Google as “Goggle.” Secondly, when we do end up checking out the phone, we are definitely going to need the “Getting Started” guide—things seem quite overly complicated.  As you can see, there are so many new things to learn just to perform standard phone functions.
It ’s not explained the camera or photo gallery, nor any kind of video playback, even though the phone is capable of all that. Â read more…
