Samsung Omnia for Verizon Smart Phone

Though Samsung Omnia has been on the market in Europe and Asia for months, the Samsung Omnia debuted in the United States on Verizon's 3G network only a couple of days before Thanksgiving 2008.

Motorola Motozine ZN5

Motorola and Kodak deliver a mobile phone (cell phone) with an impressive digital camera, but uninspired design.

The Motorola Motozine ZN5 is part cell phone (mobile phone), part digital camera. Motozine ZN5 is the brainchild of a partnership between Motorola and Kodak, boasting a 5-megapixel camera with a bevy of impressive settings and features. And at $99 (after a $100 mail-in rebate) it comes at an unbeatable price--it's much less expensive than the Nokia N95 (approximately $500, unlocked), which also has a 5-megapixel digital camera. But Motorola put so much effort into the digital camera component that it compromised on other aspects of the phone, such as design and 3G support.

1. RIM Blackberry Pearl 8120

Sleek Pearl lets consumers use Wi-Fi to boost call quality where cell signals falter.

The voice-over-Wi-Fi feature improves reception in locations where cell signals are weak, and in the tests the technology (called Unlicensed Mobile Access, or UMA) worked very well; the only visible indication that the phone was not using T-Mobile's cellular network for calls was the Wi-Fi network's SSID on the screen. Clearly, if you're within hot spot range, Wi-Fi speeds up Web browsing and data-intensive tasks, too. However, using Wi-Fi for voice calls requires T-Mobile's $10-a-month HotSpot@Home Talk Forever Mobile service, an add-on that is not available for the carrier's least-expensive plans.

Apple's just released iPhone OS 3.0 beta 5, a little over one week after its last revision.

That's about half the time they've put between the previous updates -- seems the boys in Cupertino are really starting to churn these things out. You know the drill by now, we don't know yet what the update entails, but we'll tell you when we find out.

In continuation of a recent trend of major manufacturers announcing a new-found interest in making a buck off developing nations solar-powered cell phones, AU (KDDI) and Sharp have announced the June launch of this unnamed solar handset.

Besides being the world's first waterproof solar handset (cell phone), it charges to a minute of talk or 2-hours of standby after just 10 minutes in the sun. No other specifications of this waterproof solar mobile phone were announced though we seriously doubt it'll be a power-sucking feature- or smart-phone.

Not to be outdone by Samsung's new Blue Earth handset, LG Electronics has announced its own new solar-powered cell phone (mobile phone). The surprisingly attractive handset features an array of tiny solar panels built into the cover of the phone.

According to LG, just exposing the solar panel to the sun for a mere ten minutes, will charge the phone with enough juice to make a three-minute call. But no pricing or release date have been announced.

A solar-powered mobile phone aimed at consumers without access to electricity goes into production this month (April).

The first cell phones to be manufactured will be sold in Papua New Guinea, Tonga and Vanuatu in June. Digicel Group, the mobile phone company that will distribute and provide network coverage for the cell phone, predicts a market of 700,000 customers across Central America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific.

People without access to electricity often pay brokers to charge their phones, according to Tom Bryant, director of procurement and distribution for Digicel Group. "It's a lifestyle necessity for many," he says. "But many of these brokers are expensive and you don't get a full charge either."

Samsung's Blue Earth handset might just be taking the green thing to a whole new extreme.

Made from PCM, a recycled plastic from water bottles, the phone boast an "eco" mode for efficiently adjusting screen brightness, backlight duration and Bluetooth usage, and an "eco walk" app / built-in pedometer to tell you how much CO2 emission you've saved by walking instead of driving.
