Benq-Siemens Snaked

Benq Siemens Snaked Concept Phone


Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked. This is a "reptile" looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport loving women, because it also has body monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.

Watch Designed Handsets

Though the idea of a cellphone watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa has an interesting triple flip technique that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone. When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.

Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the arm. Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode.

HTC Incredible S

the Incredible S is a pretty great smartphone. You’ve got spotless connectivity, an exciting new screen, those cool rotating buttons and the proven power of Snapdragon under the hood.

HTC has earned a name for itself and there’s no wonder that the launch of the Incredible S was greeted with excitement. Their new potential bestseller is too important a device to go unnoticed even if it tries to be merely an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary step forward.
It seems the Incredible S has got the proper set of ingredients.

Look out for an update soon on hoe to get your handse on this handset.

Mobiado & Aston Martin - Transparent droid phone concept

Mobiado, the luxury phone maker, & Aston Martin, the luxury car maker, are in cahoots, trying to co-create phones. The first prototype they've shown is a stunning transparent Android phone.

The Mobiado concept phone is a transparent sapphire glass with two titanium edges on the left and right. The glass is a color capacitive touchscreen. We know it's only a concept and from a technical standpoint it seems all but impossible, but is a joy to behold.

Still, Mobiado's plan to cram in the SIM card slot a chipset that's powerful enough to run Android and a battery with enough juice for the phone to run more than a minute is science fiction with today's technology.
But not having access to the technology of tomorrow doesn't mean you can't plan to show off today. Here's what Mobiado envisions you can do if you had the CTP002 and an Aston Martin.
The phone will connect with the car and its display. The car display will show a map with all local venues and your friends from Foursquare. The cameras integrated into the car can be set to snap a photo periodically and post it on Facebook or Twitter (nothing classier than telling the Internet how rich you are) and the CTP002's accelerometer will track the drivers body in case of a collision, giving the car's airbags better information on how to react.
Well, these things sound like a thirteen-year-old daydreaming (especially trusting a phone with something as important as airbag deployment) but having a transparent phone like the Mobiado CTP002 would be super cool. Fingers crossed they do manage to go beyond the concept phase.

HTC announces the new EVO 3D handset

 HTC has officially announced the full specs of its HTC EVO 3D (which will come in GSM garb) and the HTC EVO View 4G tablet both feature 4G (WiMAX connectivity) and run Android. The EVO 3D seems to be a 3D-enabled Pyramid, while the EVO View 4G is a CDMA version of the Flyer.
The HTC EVO 3D features a 4.3" qHD screen that shows glasses-free 3D imagery and two 5MP cameras to capture stereoscopic stills and video. 3D videos are shot in 720p resolution but 3D stills are limited to 2MP for some reason.
The EVO 3D packs a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU and 1GB of RAM, running Android 2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense.

The phone measures 126mm x 65mm x 12.05mm and packs a mammoth 1730mAh battery - it weighs a hefty 170 grams though. The HTC EVO 3D packs MHL (the port that combines USB and HDMI), Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, microSD card slot and other goodies.
Sprint will be releasing the HTC EVO 3D this summer (no pricing info yet) with CDMA and WiMAX "4G", but there's a GSM/UMTS/HSPA version up on HTC's site too (no carrier or launch info on it). The HTC Pyramid is basically a non-3D version of the EVO 3D too (though they look slightly different) so we'll see how that pans out.
Sprint and Blockbuster have partnered and Blockbuster on Demand will be preinstalled on the HTC EVO 4G and will offer 3D movies, available on the same day as the Blu-ray release.
Sprint will also be launching the HTC EVO View 4G, which is a Flyer that speaks CDMA and WiMAX. The aluminum body of the View 4G is black unlike the silvery chassis of the Flyer.

That aside, the two tablets share the same specs - 1.5GHz single-core processor, Android Gingerbread, 7" 1024x600-pixel screen, two cameras (5MP main, 1.3MP secondary), Scribe technology, Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n.
The HTC EVO View 4G is coming to Sprint in the summer too, with CDMA and WiMAX connectivity (and hot-spot functionality) but there's nothing on the price yet.

HTC HD2!!!

 Pop this thing out and there’s an immediate buzz about its 4.3” screen. It’s massive. It’s the largest commercially smartphone screen out there. The best thing about it is that it’s not let down by a horrible resistive touch experience. The HD2 is the first Windows Mobile, or WinMo to call or to have a more sensitive capacitive touch-screen.

In fact there is very little that does let this phone down. It feels good, looks great and HTC’s Sense does a superb job of masking the notoriously difficult and boring Windows back-end.
