Internet Explorer Mobile 6 Not For Existing Devices

Those who are still holding onto the notion that Microsoft will be releasing Internet Explorer Mobile 6 for download in the near future will be disappointed to hear that it won’t be made available for installation on existing handsets. Suggesting that its “rich media experience” is too much for present devices to handle, an employee of the company has put to rest questions on whether the upgrade to Microsoft’s current ailing mobile internet browser will become available for download.
It’s really disheartening to hear such news especially since other developers have managed to come out with more capable applications and distribute them through the internet. Either Microsoft’s approach in developing their new internet browser is completely messed up or they just want to bolster sales of new Windows Mobile-powered devices by limiting the availability of Internet Explorer 6 on these devices. Anyway, I’m sure the general public won’t be too […]

Android-like Google Sync now available for BlackBerry phones

It looks like BlackBerry users will be getting a taste of how it feels living the Android life care of the new Google sync. While the HTC G1 maybe lacking a desktop sync tool, it does however feature automatic syncing with Gmail’s address book and vice-versa providing you with a safe way of backing up your contacts on the internet. This same feature is now headed the BlackBerry’s way and, in true Google fashion, it’s free of charge.
For instructions on how to get this Google Sync update, just head on over to mobile.googl.com/sync and enter phone number and an appropriate link will be sent to your mobile phone. I guess this is Google’s way of spreading the love to the rest of the mobile community even if you’re not yet set on jumping on board the Android bandwagon anytime soon.

Motorola VE66 Slider Comes with ‘Widgets’

Motorola today announced the VE66 with CrystalTalk audio technology for clear conversations, a 5.0-megapixel camera and MP3 player.

The VE66 is a sleek, slider with the Motorola’s new widgets integration. With downloadable widgets, consumers can get real-time information on weather, sports scores, stock tickers, flight information, social media and news headlines.

It captures high-resolution images on its 5.0-megapixel camera. Pressing a dedicated camera key quickly auto-focuses, activates an LED flash, and if necessary, stabilizes the image and reduces red eye. Automatic color saturation delivers whiter whites and crisper blacks.

An MP3 player with USB 2.0 provides high-speed data downloads on a PC. Wi-Fi connectivity makes browsing the Internet or sharing photos, audio or video files easy. An integrated FM radio with RDS can help listeners “name that tune” while on the road.

With CrystalTalk technology, conversations are amplified and background noises reduced for a noticeable difference in clarity. A second microphone further enhances audio […]

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Price Controversy Explained

There’s been some controversy regarding the unbelievably low price of Nokia’s first full touchscreen phone, the Nokia 5800 XPressMusic. We reported a while back that it’s debuting in Russia and Spain with a significantly higher price tag than what was previously announced, but it turns out that this price includes some added perks.

Original reports pegged the 5800 XpressMusic phone for €429 or roughly $550 in Spain. However, we’ve now learned that this price includes a 100 Euro voucher for music downloads and a 3 month subscription to Nokia Maps Voice Navigation service. It’s still a €279 phone, but in fairness, that price does include some additional services and goodies. It’s a nice bundle although I would have preferred to have been given the option of just getting the phone as opposed to strictly limiting my purchase powers to the bundled package.
