I knew it would not be long until Samsung entered the competition for the top Smart Phone Spot. I have to admit, the Samsung Galaxy S is quite impressive with its laundry list of functions. You will quickly notice that the Galaxy was defiantly designed with the user in mind. The great thing about the Galaxy S is that all of the features listed bellow come standard. What does this mean to you? There’s no jail breaking involved in order to get your favorite everyday features that you enjoy. Specifications specific to this phone is another discussion all together, so let’s get into the features!

Conclusion

After seeing this phone and its features, I would tell Motorola and others to halt their releases and go back to the drawing boards. I have never particularly been a fan of Samsung in the past, but this mobile phone has definitely made me a believer in what kind of product Samsung is putting on the market . I just love how the Android Mobile OS is making waves in the smart phone market and giving the Apple OS a run for its money. The only sub par features that I have noticed are the camera and the memory space, but the MicroSD expansion makes up for it. Moreover, the Galaxy S will be released on July 21, but you can pre-order it now at RadioShack under the name Captivate for AT&T, Vibrant on T-Mobile, and Epic 4G on Sprint. Now that you have heard what I have to say, what’s your take?

The next potential “iPhone Killer” is on the loose in the streets! Only a few lucky Sprint subscribers were able to get their hands on it. Android is surely on the move for the #1 Mobile OS spot. Here’s what one lucky fan, Isaac Blandford, had to say:

HTC EVO 4G Feedback review

- The speaker on the back of the phone (used for music and speaker phone) is great very clear and very loud.

- There are apps for almost everything. Shopping, music, travel, banking, games, weather, and anything you can imagine.

- 8mp camera is very clear….very good pics.

- 7 main screens, including one home screen. Can slide to the side to access the other main screens. Google search, main, web, sprint, facebook, calander, and speed dial are the screens.

- Very integrated, facebook friends automatically added to phone book, and their birthdays are even added to the calander automatically.

- Video is pretty good, but haven’t tried HD video yet. Does have mini HDMI port on bottom of phone.

- Rubber backing on the phone for durability.

- Large 4.3″ screen. It’s huge! Phone isn’t annoyingly thick, but not super thin. Still thin enough for good pocket-ability.

-4g service is only in certain areas. There is currently only like 15 markets in the US with 4g coverage. Uses 3g when 4g is unavailable, but it is still very quick when using 3g.

- Apps continue to run even when you go to your main screen, so an app killer application is necessary. There are many available in the app market for free, so no worries.

- Sprint does not have a contract with the NFL anymore, so no more live game streaming, but you can watch delayed games, and still get up to date info on any team, game, and standings.

- Nascar is more integrated, so you can follow races live and actually listen in on your favorite race team’s game day headset!

- Came with an 8gb micro memory card in phone, and they threw in 2 screen protectors and a cloth for upgrading on first day!!

- Costs $329.99 with full upgrade, but get a $100 mail in rebate. Not available for sale yet. Just for new lines of service and those eligible for a full upgrade.

Although I am unable to disclose the exact distributor of this phone, I do know that it is manufactured in China. The Titanium Projector Phone would be best suitable for people who are in the business community, or people on the go who travel frequently and want to enjoy movies wherever they happen to be.

Specs:

- Dual SIM
- Quad Band
- 640×480 LED Projector
- 2.2 inch Touchscreen,
- Calender
- Java Enabled
- MP3 Player
- USB Interface
- Video Recording
- FM radio
- Stereo Bluetooth
- Digital Camera
- Reception for analog TV
- Price tag: around $217

Some of you cell phone junkies out there may be wondering where you can purchase this phone! After searching high and low on the internet, the only somewhat “credible” distributor I could find was Ebay, and the going rate is $249. Mixing China and Ebay together might not result in a good equation, due to the fact of China’s credibility. You don’t want to end up paying the small fortune it would cost to get your hands on one of these things and end up with an empty box or a photograph of the phone. Make sure you take the time to read all of the small print, because this actually happen to one of my fiends. With a plethora of Pros to this phone, the three major Cons with the Titanium Projector Phone would include the country of manufacturing. It’s made in China, and they are not known for producing quality products. Two, limited distributors would cause a problem with speedy delivery of your orders. Finally, who makes this phone? Is the manufacturing company so weary of there creation that they don’t want consumers to know that it’s theirs? If you managed to get your hands on one of these Projector phones, longevity is in question, or if it will even work like expected. If you already own one of these phones, give us some feedback!

After all the enhancements done to Apple’s iPhone, we now are ready for the next generation of iPhone technology, 4G. The big question is when will it be available? Some sources say 90 days, and others say 2011. I guess only time will tell which one it would be within the next couple of months. The consumer price has not been disclosed, however expect prices to be in the $300-$400 price range.

Rumored Features:

- Sleeker design
- iPhone 4.1 Operating System (OS)
- 800 MHz processor
- Improved 3-D graphics
- Improved battery life
- Rifid reader technology into the touchscreen
- 100 Mbps – 1GBps download and 50 Mbps upload speeds
- Internet tethering optional with additional monthly payment
- HD output
- Better app organization and file management
- More memory up to 64 GB
- 802.11n support
- Slide Qwerty keyboard
- 8.0 megapixel Carll Zeiss optics camera
- Video calling capability
- Better sound quality from build-in speakers
- Google Voice support
- You will be able to turn pages by flicking your finger over the camera vice touching the screen

Bottom Line, the iPhone 4G could take Apple to an even higher level if all the features listed above are included. Don’t expect the iPhone 4G to be available on other carriers just yet, AT&T’s monopoly will still remain in the U.S., the same way SoftBank does in Japan with no plan of changing. This sounds too good to be true, what do you think?

Cell phone enthusiasts hold on to your seats, Sprint is about to release the latest in mobile technology with its new HTC Supersonic. HTC is showing that they can keep up with all of the leading names in the cellular phone industry. The features that you can expect from this phone are more advanced than some you may have seen in the past. With Sprint being the first in the mobile industry to begin the transformation to the 4G world, the applications that are commonly used now must be more advanced so that they will be compatible with the switch. Some of the features that you can look forward to are as followed…..

- 1 Ghz Snapdragon Processor
- 5 MegaPixel Camera
- 4.3 inch non-AMOLED touch screen
- 480 x 800 pixel resoloution
- Android 2.1/3.0 operating system

In addition to this list of top of the line options, your HTC Supersonic will also have a stand on the back so you can set it down and watch movies in HD. Getting all of these options in a cell phone is hard to believe, right? How about getting all of this in a phone that is only 11mm thick? Now this is innovation at its best.

The question that is on everyone’s mind though is, will the HTC Supersonic be able to keep up with Apple’s I phone or Nokia’s N900? Well, that remains to be seen, but in a few short months, the truth should reveal itself. Although an exact date has not been set for the launch of the HTC Supersonic, sources have revealed that a summer launch is expected. Market retail sales costs are estimated at around $550 for this all in one masterpiece. So make sure you start saving your pennies now, and be the first to own the latest the mobile phone game has to offer.

Technorati claim: FHTZXP4HE9GW

I ordered the Nokia N900 on February 25th  from NewEgg.com and after days and days of waiting and checking the mail, I finally received my phone. I  then opened the box while I was walking,  turned the phone on, and everything seemed to be working fine.  Next, I proceeded to load my sim-card and turn on the phone when suddenly the screen went blank.  After time and time of pressing the power button, the Nokia N900 just would not boot up. After throughly searching  the Internet, I came to realization that I am not the only person experiencing this problem. There are many Nokia N900 users across the globe that have encountered the same issues I have had with mine. The only conclusion that can be derived from my extensive research is that faulty shipping had to have played a role in this malfunction.

Overall, I think the Nokia N900 is one of the hottest phones on the market.  Somebody at Apple must have sabotage a batch of phones.  I am extremely disappointed because I have owned many popular phones and out of all of them this is the only one to not work out the box, or just plain crashed on me.

At this point I do not know who is to blame.   Someone had to have knowledge of this problem but fail to do something about. Who would you blame?
