Sony-Ericsson T850i concept

Sony-Ericsson T850i concept


Along with the sneak peek we had of the W890i, here is a concept design for the T850i, designed by a Sony-Ericsson fanatic (spotted on Esato). The T850i concept phone would be 3G-enabled and offer GPS support, a 5MP camera with a Xenon flash, and the ability to record videos at 30 fps. The specs of this device aren't overly ambitious, meaning that a similar device could technically be built in the near future. I wonder how fast the xenon flash would deplete a battery…

Mobile Fitting: Try on glasses before you buy

Mobile Fitting: Try on glasses before you buy


Finding a pair of glasses that fits one’s head correctly can be a tedious task. Going back and forth between the mirror and the rack is not the optimal shopping way. Megane Top (Top Glasses), a Japanese glasses superstore, is offering a new service which allows users to try on a pair of glasses with their cellphones. For now, this technology seems limited to Megane Top, but similar services might spread to other retailers (one day). Imagine trying on clothes for an online purchase before you even submit the order…

This top secret device has been code-named "white phone" and will be released later this month in Italy, Britain, Hong Kong, and Australia.

Vertu Signature gets cloned

Vertu Signature gets cloned


Looks like the iPhone isn't the only high end device to be cloned, with the significantly more expensive Vertu Signature falling prey under notorious cloners as well. While this isn't the first Vertu clone to hit the market, it could be dangerous for those who love shopping for phones online since they could be easily fooled by better and more realistic looking clones. Specifications of this half-baked Vertu consists of a 1.8? 176 × 220 touchscreen display, a VGA camera, Bluetooth connectivity with A2DP support, and a microSD memory slot, all packed into a 100mm × 40mm × 15 mm body that weighs 75 grams. You can choose from black and gold colors. One thing's for sure though - you definitely won't have to fork out as much for it as the original.
