It’s a Symbian S60 phone, but not direct from Nokia; this is the new Samsung I7110 phone…

The specs include:

• S60 3rd Edition Feature pack 2
• 12.9mm thick
• HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity
• a 2.6” AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen
• Geo-tagging and navigation capabilities in pedestrian and driving modes
• an FM transmitter to receive the voice navigation guide via car speakers
• a 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash
• Support for multi-codec formats including DivX
• 50MB of internal memory and a SDHC-supported micro SD slot
• 1200mAh battery
• 8-way optical mouse

This is a nice high spec phone, and should be available this month at some point.

Nokia are well known for their high quality 5 megapixel cameras in their top end smartphones, but here’s Samsung, one of the smaller players in the Symbian marketplace, announcing an 8 megapixel cameraphone. Other specs include:

• Network: HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (900/2100), EDGE/GPRS (850/900/1800/1900)
• OS: Symbian OS v9.3, S60 v3.2
• Display: 2.8-inch QVGA 16M TFT LCD
• Camera: 8 megapixel CMOS with AF and dual-power LED. Smart Reader, Image Stabilizer, Auto-Panorama Shot, Smile Shot, Blink Shot, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), Face Detection, QVGA video recording at 120 fps / VGA at 30 fps
• Memory: 16GB Flash + microSDHC memory slot
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi
• Other features: A-GPS, optical Mouse, accelerometer, FM radio with RDS, 3.5mm output
• Battery: 1200 mAh
• Size: 106.5×53.9×17.2 mm

It should be available in August, and looks an impressive spec.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could walk into a pub, club, or restaurant and be able to recharge your mobile phone / iPod / mp3 player? Well, Juice Jack have that vision, and have produced the Jack to achieve this. It has 9 connectors for charging a large portion of phones (both Nokia connectors, Apple, Sony Ericsson, LG, Samsung, and standard micro and mini USB connectors). Not just that, but the device has a built in Li-Ion battery (although it’s more likely people will connect the device direct to the mains).

Even better, the price is only £25, and they are willing to sell single devices to consumers, as well as selling in volumes to larger companies.

We like the idea, although unless there was one on every table in a pub, we would be nervous leaving our phone on charge in a public place out of our sight / reach.

As part of Mobile World Congress, Samsung have also announced a high spec Symbian Smartphone. The G810 Slider features a 5 megapixel camera (which also has a 3x optical zoom), it has HSDPA (upto 3.6mbps), WiFi, YouTube support built in, and a GPS built in, including geotagging support. It also has a 3.5mm headphone socket.

This specification rivals that of many other high spec smartphones, and it will be interesting to see how well it sells when it goes on sale around March this year.
