The Desire is essentially HTC’s version of the Nexus One, which it also manufacturers. As we mentioned in the previous review, the main specifications of the two handsets are pretty much identical. However, unlike Google’s smartphone, it doesn’t support US 3G bands.

With a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 576MB of RAM, the Desire speeds through anything Android can throw at it. HTC’s Sense interface is a great improvement on the standard Android interface. The People app brings together all your contacts, across multiple services such as Google, Exchange, Facebook and Flickr, and automatically searches for duplicates and lets you merge them.

Acer introduces us its new  neoTouch P400  Windows Mobile. Here we have Windows Mobile 6.5. It is convenient to edit Office documents with the new neoTouch P400  but, in fact, the application offering lacks sexiness. Inside the neoTouch P400 there is a Qualcomm 7227 processor, 512MB of ROM, 512MB of RAM.

The 115mm x 59.3mm x 12mm (4.5in x 2.3in x .47in) P400 has a 3.2-inch HVGA touch screen display, 3G and 802.11b/g WiFi support, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and features sync support for automatic wireless and web-based synchronization with your notebook or netbook. The device also features  GPS support, an accelerometer, and support for Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and supports a battery life of 5 hours.

T-Mobile announced at MWC that it would be tweaking the HD2 to support “never-before-seen” entertainment experiences on its network.

The HTC HD2 will get support for Barnes & Noble eReader, Blockbuster on Demand movies, MobiTV, Paramount Pictures movies Transformers and Transformers: revenge of the Fallen will be pre-loaded on the memory card for the handset, and the device will be Gogo in-flight internet ready. That is certainly enough to keep users of the device entertained.

The handset has a 4.3-inch LCD, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and runs the Windows mobile 6.5 operating system. The handset also has GPS, ships with a 16GB microSD card, and features a 5MP camera with autofocus and dual LED flash. The handset will land on T-Mobile this spring.

Both Acer neoTouch P300 and neoTouch P400 run on Windows Mobile 6.5.3, with the former having a 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, while the Acer beTouch E110 and E400 run Android (1.5 Cupcake and 2.1 Eclair respectively) with the E110 having a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen and the E400 having a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen.

Across the board there’s 3G and Bluetooth, while on the E110 lacks WiFi b/g.  No vast processor speeds here, though; at most you’ll get 600MHz.  All have a 3.2-megapixel camera together with GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Acer expect the neoTouch P300 and beTouch E110 to arrive in March 2010, with the beTouch E400 following on in April and the neoTouch P400 dropping in May 2010.

Lenovo’s Lephone announcement at CES 2010 last week fell somewhat into the shadow of another new Android smartphone from a big-name manufacturer, the Dell Mini 3, but that’s not to say the Lenovo handset has no distinguishing features.  Snap-on accessory keyboards aren’t new – the LG Versa on Verizon is a recent example – but we’re particularly feeling Lenovo’s curvy layout.

As for specifications, there’s a a 3.7-inch 480 x 800 touchscreen with a touch-control panel underneath, a WCDMA radio, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, along with two cameras: a 3MP shooter on the back and a VGA one up-front for video calls.

Cydle has given everybody their Christmas present this year as the company has unveiled two devices that it will show case at CES. The Cydle T43H is a continuation of their line of PNDs (Personal Navigation Device aka car-mounted GPS devices), which adds new traffic features, and the M7, a new MID device

While many think that dedicated GPS units for cars are being replaced by turn-by-turn navigation apps for smartphones, Cydle comes back with a strong new PND offering. The T43H will offer built-in HD radio, as well as what they’re calling “HD traffic updates”. Read the rest of this entry »
