The Z6c looks and feels a lot like the Motorola MOTORIZR Z6tv, Verizon's sliding mobile TV phone. Like the Z6tv, this device is a smooth, rectangular slider, with a nice little plastic bar at the bottom of the screen that lets you slide the body up to reveal the keypad. The keys are small, but they sport raised rubber guides to prevent misdialing. The smallish, 2-inch, 320-by-240-pixel screen is bright, and there's a flashless 2-megapixel camera on the back. The Z6c and Z6tv use different chip sets, which means they have somewhat different features and different phone performance. The Z6c has no mobile TV, and it isn't as good a voice phone as the Z6tv. The Z6c fell behind our benchmark Motorola E815 in being able to connect calls, and volume wobble in the speakerphone was more noticeable than on the Z6tv. Earpiece volume was pretty loud, with enough in-ear feedback to prevent your having to yell into the phone. Voice dialing works over wired or Bluetooth headsets, though you have to use an included adapter to plug in standard wired headsets; the phone's only port is a micro-USB that's also used for charging and syncing. Talk time, at over 5 hours, is excellent. The phone paired with our Editors' Choice Plantronics 520 headset without a problem. The Z6c had an uneasy relationship with our Motorola S9 and Plantronics 590 stereo Bluetooth headsets, though. We heard hissing in the former and buzz when playing music in the latter. The handset syncs music with Windows Media Player but doesn't have mass storage drivers for use with other PC or Mac programs.More at (www.pcmag.com)





SONY'S smallest smartphone with HD screen and more other benefits

The $299 Sony Mylo COM-2, launching later this month, is a messaging phone without the most important part: the phone. While this odd gadget can surf the Web, send instant messages and make Skype calls from Wi-Fi hot spots, its inability to connect to wide-area networks and the lack of standard PDA capabilities make me hesitant to recommend it over superior alternatives like the Helio Ocean,T-Mobile Sidekick LX, and Apple iPhone. Duration of I got to test a pre-production evaluation unit that was missing its PC software and had buggy firmware. Despite glitches, I was able to get a feel for the kind of device the Mylo is, and it just isn't enough. (We'll have a full review when the device is officially released later this month.) Resembling Helio's Ocean, the Mylo is a long, thick lozenge with a bright and sharp 3.5-inch 800-by-480-pixel color touch screen on the front and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Control buttons sit on the edges of the touch screen, and to the left of the display there's an orange navigation joystick. Side bumpers light up in various colors when you have new messages or for other alerts. At 2.55 by 5.16 by .82 inches (HWD) and 6.56 ounces, the chunky slab isn't likely to be called slim or light, but it's in the same realm as the Ocean and the various Sidekick models. The device feels well built, and the sliding function is tight and smooth. The all-important QWERTY keyboard's buttons are a little wobbly and don't feel as solid as, say, the Sidekicks' excellent keyboards. You use various modifier keys to access numbers and symbols, keeping the size of the keyboard down. There are dedicated music control keys on the slide-out keyboard, and a camera button on the top of the unit. The Mylo's primary functions are music, video, instant messaging, and Web browsing. The device connects to 802.11b or g Wi-Fi networks, including those with WPA or WPA2 encryption, easily. But for a gadget whose name stands for "my life online," one wonders why it isn't the Sony Ericsson Mylo: a simple cellular SIM card slot could have turned this device into a capable, go-anywhere communicator. It can't even piggyback on cell phones, as it doesn't have Bluetooth. As it is, Sony makes the best of a tough situation by including a free, unlimited subscription to Wayport public hot spots. (Wayport hosts public Wi-Fi in some hotels and McDonald's restaurants.) But it feels as if the Mylo was designed for an alternate universe where Wi-Fi blankets the nation. For instant messaging, the Mylo supports AIM, Google Talk, Skype, and Yahoo!. They're feature-rich clients, too: The AIM and Yahoo! IM apps show buddy icons and away messages, and the Skype client even lets you send and receive files. The inclusion of Skype means the device can also make VoIP calls. The Mylo has a built-in microphone, so you don't have to use a headset, but using one really improves sound quality; without it, Skype calls sounded hollow. The device can't handle SMS text messaging, unlike the $149 Wi-Fi–only Zipit Wirelles Mwssenger 2 handheld, which has a special gateway for SMS. I had some serious problems with Web browsing because the Mylo kept running out of RAM. The Web browser displays pages well, in desktop-like format, and you can zoom to various levels. (At the default zoom, text is readable only if you have extra-sharp eyes.) But scrolling through pages was slow and jerky. Sony claims the browser also supports Flash and scripting. But when I tried to go to YouTube or a very busy MySpace page, or even just browsed for too long at one time, I was faced with several out-of-memory errors. The Mylo's 23MB of available RAM just doesn't seem to be enough to handle both complex Web pages and IM clients at the same time. Even with the IM clients disabled, YouTube videos were jerky, and I never managed to find enough memory to view that MySpace page. The Web browser is essential, since the Mylo doesn't have such common handheld programs as a calendar, Microsoft Office document reader, or e-mail program. More at (www.pcmag.com)

NVIDIA APX-2500 HER FIRST SMARTPHONE






Nvidia in the start of February show the first cellphone with the name APX-2500.
Since it’s hard to believe that a low-power chipset can still be capable of pumping out 720p HD video, Vincent stopped by NVIDIA’s booth at the Mobile World Congress to see their new APX-2500 platform in action and capture it on video. NVIDIA’s reference design might not be intended for production, but I’m hoping it gives manufacturers some ideas; it’s a pretty slick interface that buries its Windows CE roots well. Even more impressive is the sight of the prototype playing high definition video on a 60-inch plasma TV, with all the processing being done by the hardware rather than a software decoder.
Based on an ARM11 750MHz CPU, the handset has an accelerometer, 10+ hours playback of HD video, and a GUI coded in OpenGL ES 2.0. NVIDIA are yet to announce which manufacturers have decided to use the APX 2500 chipset in commercial products.
Do you want to see the the mainboard and the processor of this cellphone?Look at this picture.

NVIDIA are set to enter the processor market with their new APX2500 series, designed as a standalone application CPU with a strong bias toward multimedia and internet access. The company, better known as a graphics manufacturer, used the fledgling work of earlier acquisition PortalPlayer, putting together a team of six-hundred engineers to create the AMD11-based 750MHz chip. NVIDIA boast that the APX 2500 is capable of encoding and decoding 720p HD video.
In addition, NVIDIA’s own graphics expertise was added to the chip, in the form of its low-power GeForce line; that means the application processor can do double-duty for 3D GUI rendering. They’re advertising it as the quickest way to create a Windows Mobile powered smartphone, having consulted Microsoft extensively throughout the development cycle.
The APX 2500 can support displays up to SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution and cameras up to 12-megapixels; outputs include composite and S-Video. NVIDIA claim to have a number of manufacturers on-board with the chip, although would not disclose who; they will also aim it at standalone GPSand PMP manufacturers.

Since its inception, the Motorola Q9c has been successful. Versions of the popular slim handheld—originally billed as the "RAZR smartphone" at just 0.4 inches thick—can now be found on three carriers, with the device available in both CDMA and GSM versions. When Motorola revamped the Q, Verizon saw the new model first and branded it the Q9c. AT&T followed with its upgraded version, the Q9h, which bested the Verizon model with its excellent software bundle. Now Sprint finally has a new Q, and I'm pleased to report that the Q9c is a highly capable, inexpensive ($99.99 with a two-year contract, after a $100 mail-in rebate) smartphone, even if a few flaws hold it back from true greatness.
