As you all know that this years Mobile World Congress has kicked off in Barcelona Spain.
Sony Ericsson has come out with Idou and W995. Idou is the first phone based on the open source Symbian Foundation OS with 12 mega pixel snapper. t is pronounced as "I Do". This phone has a very interesting name and a the specs are pretty impressive. This phone was showcased by Sony Ericsson at a press event in Barcelona. The phone is not available officially but its just a prototype. The phone's Wi-Fi and GPS is DLNA certified with a 3.5 inch screen and 12 mega pixel snapper. The phone has the UI from the Symbian Foundation, which was formed last year.

Sony Ericsson W995 - Remember Hikaru, the phone from Sony Ericsson that was surfacing once in a while. Well Sony Ericsson has removed the cover from Hikaru and made it official during the start of the Mobile World Congress 2009 at a press event in Barcelona. The phone will be called W995 and Hikaru was the name just for the prototype, I guess, like "Idou", which was also showcased at this press event. As you must have guessed by now, W995 is a flagship Walkman music phone from Sony Ericsson.

Yeah it really seems more like a camera man. Samsung didnt launch their 12 mega pixel phone and nobody would have thought SE will launch it. So here it is a Symbain DFoundation OS based phone with 12 mega pixel snapper..Whoaa!!
 
Yeah but they have said that there 12 mega pixel monster is not being launched in MWC. Also, they are not launching their Android phone.

This is from some insider source, which Samsung Central got hands on. Lets hope they launch the 12 mega ppixel phone man!!
 
here is a pic of the w995.Looks cool in brushed metal finish

Nokia Launches E55 and E75 at the MWC 2009 -

E55

Nokia E55 is the higher and slimmer version of the Nokia E51 and it has a QWERTY keyboard. Having a QWERTY keyboard does not increase the width of the phone as it has two letter on one key. Nokia 55 is not all about enterprise phones as it also has N Gage support. Other functions include a 3.2 mega pixel camera, A-GPS, 2.4 inch screen, which can be also viewed in landscape mode, which makes reading email comfortable. Being a email focused phone, Nokia has also improved its predictive text technology with the phone correcting misspelled words and learning new words. The phone also features a multimedia player that can play music & media files, RDS Radio. You have quick access to home screen, calendar and email functions. The innovative Voice enabled User Interface lets you control the phone without even touching it..Cool!!! Don't know when its coming to India but it will fall in the range of INR 15 to 17K.

E75 -

The Nokia E75, which leaked way before this event is the first Enterprise phone from Nokia with a side sliding QWERTY keyboard. The Nokia E75 will be shipped with Nokia messaging solution making it a phone for mobile email users rather than mobile Internet users. Nokia has also improved it email client with this phone to handle HTML and also edit office documents, so kind of a Blackberry killer. E75 is a Quad band GSM phone with dual band HSDPA @ 3.6 mbps. The phone features a 3.2 mega pixel snapper without LED flash and a 2.4 inch QVGA screen with a resolution of 240 x 360. Other features of the phone include, multimedia support with video recording at 30fps in QVGA quality, A-GPS, FM Radio, Wi-Fi and 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone has a dual home screen so that you separate your work and personal life and when it comes to memory cards, the phone supports microSDHC cards and has a microUSB socket. Now the good part is that this phone will be launched around March 13th 2009 and will be priced around £389.99, which comes to around INR 28,000.
 
Yeah man this one seems to the BAAP of N82. Covered the specs on mah blog to.Check it our if you guys like and comments are welcome!!

Nokia's new 8 mega pixwel monster, which leaked sometime back has surfaced at the Nokia SHowcase 2009, Singapore.
 
se phone is just a prototype. God knows when it will be out. End of this year or end of this century :rofl:

I am not a fan of looks or design for that matter. N86 looks cool to me as far as features go but i already own N85 :S and i think that love for xenon flash that i developed with n82 has to go now :(

And the camera specs of N86 looks promising.
 
HTC makes decent phones.Wonder why it sticks to windows mobile? Not interested in any of the crappy phones made by nokia.Their symbian software sucks big time!
