Less than 24 hours before the unveiling of the next-generation iPhone, the buzz around the so called “iPhone 5″ is reaching a crescendo. As Apple’s partners are gearing up for the upcoming sales, receiving accessories and updating internal systems, there are a flood of leaked pictures and disclosures.

One recent revelation comes from Cincinnati Bell, a regional US wireless carrier, not quite in the same league as Apple’s confirmed partners Verizon and AT&T. However, in the prepaid phones section of the Cincinnati Bell website a new item appeared for a brief time, named the “iPhone 5 32 GB”.

At the subsidised price of $639.99, as opposed to $699 without contract, the device was described as having an 8MB camera, 4-inch screen and 4G data speeds. There was no icon to divulge further details and the button “add to basket” was understandably missing.

Another screenshot from the same source let slip an additional newcomer in the iPhone family, under the tag “iPhone 4S 16 GB”. The specifications for this new device indicate 5MP camera, 3.5-inch display and A5 processor. The price specified for the subscribers was $99.99, with $300 savings from the regular price.

Whether these were only fabricated handsets meant to boost web traffic or it was real information from a legitimate source will be seen in around 18 and a half hours, when the smartphone(s) is announced by new Apple CEO Tim Cook (possibly with a cameo from Steve Jobs?)

Apart from this, internet speed, proper hard disk space, CPU speed, operating system and card memory is also desirable to play online games smoothly. These days Xbox, Playstation and Gamecube are the prime game developers of the video gaming industry. The great thing about their technology is that they always try to counterpart the ever changing hardware section of the PC. Earlier the games were required less hardware configuration but now your PC must have fast processor with high resolution graphic card then only you are able to play latest gaming servers. Don’t worry about the availability of latest graphic cards and CPU, Internet is the best source station to acquire the latest series of desirable things.

In addition, to enjoy the real experience of latest games series you also need networked multiplayer systems via internet connection. Further, if you think you have less number of gaming series then you can consider the world of web – a perfect destination to enjoy huge games with multiple options. Plus, playing online games are very much comfortable and easier compared with Xbox and Playstations games.

Whether you love actions games, racing games, fighting games, mind-zloty games, brainstorming games, shooting games or sports specific games – here you’ll find everything is quite easily. Free downloading is also available with numerous sites but proper research work has been done. At last, game developers are always work harder to introduced something advanced and interesting game for their game addicted youth and children.

Apple may still have a dominant stranglehold on the smartphone and tablet markets with its best-selling iPhones and iPads, but Google’s Android OS continues to make inroads and chip away at Apple’s market share. More and more devices featuring Android are coming to the marketplace and that’s especially true with tablets, as Google’s HoneyComb OS designed specifically for tablets has many developers drooling over some the superior capabilities over the iPad that it offers. 

One big advantage that Android already has is its open-source nature, and the fact that there’s no central authority such as Apple determining what apps can or can’t be distributed. While developers still have to follow various rules and protocols to get their apps listed in the Android Market, there are far fewer restrictions on the types of apps that can be distributed. While Apple bans online slots and other gambling games that can be used to wager real money, similar apps have already appeared in the Android Market. 

Another nice feature for Android devices is the ability to install a much wider range of applications, including Android APK files. APK files are basically apps just like you download and install from the Android Market, they just haven’t gone through the official process to be listed and distributed there. Many developers will make beta versions of their programs available as free APK files, and some of the cheaper tablets don’t come with access to Android Market, so there are definitely occasions when you’ll want to know how to install APK files and other non-Market apps.

One note of caution, though, is that installing any non-Market app involves a bit of a gamble; much like when you play online roulette, you’re always running a bit of a risk when you download any app that hasn’t been examined and approved. Most developers have good intention and just want to get their game or app out there but virtually any sort of code (good or bad) can be included in APK files, so understand the risk you run and that while you might win with your next download and get a great program you might also spin the wheel and come up a loser, getting either a non-functioning app or malicious code on your smartphone or tablet.

The Nokia E6 is billed as a business smartphone but in this age of social networking, we think the successor to the Nokia E71 and Nokia E72 has far wider appeal. Find out what we mean with our Nokia E6 hardware review.

The Nokia E6 is a QWERTY smartphone running the latest version of the Symbian^3 operating system, also known as Symbian Anna. The design of this smartphone is very much a development of the Nokia E71 and Nokia E72 but Nokia has made sufficient changes to make this the ideal device to upgrade to.

Check out our Nokia E6 unboxing

With a full metal jacket and a glass 2.46-inch screen you’ll find the build quality is pretty amazing. We love how solid it feels in the hand. There is a nice balance between the 2.46-inch screen and the QWERTY keyboard.

Nokia has designed the Nokia E6 to make the most of the space available. So, you’ll find as small a bezel as possible around the end of the screen and keyboard and the edge of the device itself. In between the screen and keyboard you’ll find a 5-way direction D-Pad, which you can press to set the screen into action. Flanking this are four function keys (Home, Calendar, Messaging and Contacts), with calls buttons on the outer side of these.

Having one-touch access to these main functions makes business life a little easier. The QWERTY keyboard is a great size, with Nokia reverting back to the older 37-button array. This means the Spacebar is bigger, which we’ve found does make typing easier. The keyboard is a pleasure to use and firing off emails and longer replies to messages is really easy.

Measuring 115.5 x 59 x 10.5mm, the Nokia E6 is a shade larger than previous models and weighing in at 133g, it’s also slightly heavier but when you consider you get a larger screen, wider keyboard and more powerful and robust feature-set, it’s a gain well worth accepting.

The Nokia E6 is the first business smartphone in its class to come with a Full VGA screen. With a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels it means that not only apps and messages pop to life, you’ll also find that video is vivid. Putting that into real terms, that’s twice the resolution of the Nokia E72, so suddenly giving a quick demo or presentation on your smartphone becomes a real possibility.

The big difference between this smartphone and previous models is the addition of a touchscreen display, which brings a new way of accessing apps and services. We’ll look in detail at how the Symbian Anna operating system handles in a future review. However, we will say that having the touchscreen does help speed up user operations.

When it comes to memory, you’ll find 350MB built-in, which is supplemented by 8GB of user storage. The microSD slot, which is located on the top of the phone along with the 3.5mm audio jack and On/Off switch, readily supports cards up to 32GB in size, so memory shouldn’t be an issue with the Nokia E6.

On the left-hand side of the Nokia E6 you’ll find a USB slot, while the right-hand side Screenlock, volume controls and a button for muting calls, which also works with the built-in Dictaphone options.  All ports have nice, firm covers on them, which is a nice touch.

The 8-Megapixel camera located on the back of the Nokia E6 comes with dual-Flash LED, which uses the same EDoF technology as found on the Nokia E7, so while it lacks the cutting-edge prowess of the Nokia N8 you’ll still be able to take pretty decent snaps with the camera. We’ve been pretty impressed with what it has to offer so far.

The Nokia E6 has to be the best looking and cutting-edge QWERTY business device out there. The build quality is tough but stylish and the user-interface is smooth. If you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to upgrade your Nokia E71 then you’ve just found it.

Size:

4.87 inches tall, 2.46 inches across and 0.54 inches thick.

Weight:

6.2 ounces

Display:

The 4 inch display screen has a 640×360 pixel resolution. While the display won’t be as sharp or defined as the qHD or retina displays, it still has good, clear results. A small downside is that the pixels are easily visible on the E7 display, reducing the smoothness of the images and text.
The highly responsive touch screen makes navigation and launching apps very easy. There are three home screens available on which widgets and shortcuts can be customized. The apps main menu is exhibited in a grid format. Compared with platforms like iOS, Android and Windows Phone, the performance of the Symbian OS still feels a bit choppy.

Text Entry:

You can use the onscreen keyboard or the physical QWERTY keyboard for text entry. You can smoothly slide the screen to the side and access the keyboard. The screen locks into place at a slight angle which makes visibility easier when using the keyboard. With good sized buttons having adequate spacing and layout, the keyboard is easy to use.

Controls and Ports:

The phone has the usual menu button, lock switch, SIM card compartment, volume/zoom button and camera key. Because the E7 doesn’t have a user-replaceable battery, the SIM card is inserted in the side port but this can be rather troublesome.
The phone has the 3.5 mm headphone jack, HDMI port and a Micro-USB port. The E7 comes with an 8 megapixel camera and dual LED flash on the back and a VGA camera on the top-left corner of the face. The phone comes with a USB cable, wired stereo earphones, HDMI cable and an AC adapter. It is available in 5 colors: silver white, blue and many more.

There was a time when having a Nokia Communicator was the sign of a powerful businessman. The line evolved into the E series line and the newest members of the E series, Nokia E7, is now available in the market for $650, the price for its Unlocked Cell Phones version.

Features:

Keeping the business users at heart, the phone offers a number of features like multiple email protocols, Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN support , remote wipe etc. There are many business apps which come preloaded in the phone like Quickoffice suite.
Voice features like quad-band world roaming, voice dialing, text and multimedia messaging etc. are included in the E7. The phone also includes Bluetooth 3.0, Wifi, GPS and 3G support. And it supports the normal music and video formats like MP3, AAC, WMA, H.264 and MPEG-4. The phone has a 16GB internal memory but lacks the option for extension.

Performance:

The E7 call quality is satisfactory. The 680MHz ARM 11 processor and 256RAM/350MB internal memory does lead to slow behavior. The talk time is of 5 hours (3G) and 20 days of stand-by time.

Bottom Line:

It is a great piece of hardware which is being held down by its substandard software.

Keyboard: Though the device is nearly as thin as the Nokia N8, it snaps open to reveal a full, QWERTY, four-row keyboard with 42 keys. This is arguably the most important feature for those who need to power through their emails or put a document together while they’re out and about.

Screen: At four inches, corner to corner, the Nokia E7 not only boasts the largest AMOLED touch display in the new Symbian range, but it’s enhanced with ClearBlack Display technology to give blacker blacks, more vibrant colours and eliminate reflections.

Camera and HDMI: The Nokia E7 comes with an 8-megapixel full-focus camera with dual-LED flash. The camera can also shoot HD Video. There’s also an HDMI adapter so you can use the device to show off your photos and videos, not to mention business presentations, on large displays and using projectors.

Storage and Adaptability: There’s 16GB of on-board flash memory. If that isn’t enough, or you need to share files, you can use the USB-On-The-Go feature to attach USB memory sticks. The same technique can also be used for accessories such as the recently releaseddigital radio and DVB-TV adapters.

Business connectivity: The Nokia E7 provides secure access to email, calendar, contacts and tasks through Microsoft Exchange server. You also get Microsoft Communicator Mobile, for secure corporate instant messaging. For smaller businesses and individuals, naturally it supports other POP/IMAP services like Gmail, Hotmail and thousands of other domain names.

For the technically inclined, the device measures 123.7 x 62.4 x 13.6mm and weighs 176g. The battery is rated for up to five hours talk-time over WCDMA (more over GSM) and 430 hours standby. It offers pentaband communications for international travellers, 3G data rates up to 10.2 Mbps over HSDPA and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi. The device is available in the same colours as the Nokia N8: dark grey, silver-white, blue, green and orange.

Of course, there’s also all the other features that you’ve come to expect from a new Symbian device, with access to Ovi Store for great apps and free drive and walk navigation across 80 countries with Ovi Maps.
