Nokia 6220 Classic -
a trim version of N78: as lack of wifi
a much more powerful camera than E series or other Nokia phone.
comes with GPS and Nokia MAP.
It use Carl Zeiss Lens with 5 Mega pixel CCD and power XEON flash.
Out of the box, the i550W gives a slightly lackluster impression due to its plastic build. Nonetheless, this is the reason why it's only 109g, which bodes well for consumers with a penchant for lighter phones. On the display front, Samsung is definitely generous, delivering a 2.6" TFT screen with 262k colors while supporting a standard resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
Moving downwards, we had a slight grouse with the i550W's keypad design. Like the Nokia's N82, the individual numeric keys are too thin for effective typing, though it does have a greater degree of traction for a better tactile feel as opposed to the N82's smoother keys. We also found the trackball sensitivity to be lacking compared to the Blackberry Pearl series. Besides the standard Call and End button, there are two user assigned shortcut keys and four dedicated shortcuts for the Main Menu, Web Browser, GPS and Multimedia.

The phone is quite tall at 114.8mm, though is very thin at 12mm. It is 46mm wide and weighs the magic 100g. It feels really comfortable to hold, and slips into pretty much any pocket without causing trouble. The perhaps excessive height is welcome because it allows for a superb screen, good number pad and large bank of additional buttons. Let's look at those features in turn.
The screen measures two inches corner-to-corner and delivers 320 x 240 pixels. It can display 16 million colours. It isn't huge but it is superbly sharp and clear, and utilises the confined space well. To make even more use of the display area, Nokia's Web browser can be twisted into wide format and there is a text zooming mode which helps you see as much as possible of a page at once. However, it is the camera that lets this phone down. Its base specification of 2.0-megapixels doesn't inspire confidence at the outset, and in use it was average.

Nokia E71 brings mobile internet one step closer. It is slim at 10mm thick, with keyboard, wide screen, and powerful.
Just like Nokia E66, E71 also come with a new switch mode (in the profiles menu) for switching between personal and work home screens.
The Nokia E71 packs a full hardware QWERTY keypad and its design feels somewhat Blackberry-esque although it's actually a successor of the Nokia E61i. Nokia E71 brings much more style to the E-series with a girth of mere 10mm. It's impressively compact for its form factor but that in turn has shrinked the display to 2.36 inches (as opposed to the impressive 2.8" screen of E61i). E71 offers the latest in smartphone with a built-in GPS receiver, which works with Nokia Maps, 3 megapixel auto focus camera capable of shooting VGA video at 22 fps (which is actually usable) and - of course - HSDPA and Wi-Fi. There is also the microSD card slot to expand the available 110MB memory with up to 8GB worth of additional storage.
Part I of the demo:
Part II of the demo:It's been a long, leak-filled wait, but Apple finally took the wraps off its 3G iPhone. Thinner edges, full plastic back, flush headphone jack, and the iPhone 2.0 firmware -- Apple's taking a lot of the criticisms to heart from the first time around. Obviously 3G is at the forefront, but they're also making sure it's available all over internationally, works with enterprises, runs 3rd party apps... and does it all for cheaper. Apple claims its 3G speeds trounce the competition, with pageloads 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750 -- and of course it completely trounces the old EDGE data speeds.
Battery life isn't getting put out to pasture though, with 300 hours of standby, 8-10hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio. GPS is also a go. Apple is using A-GPS, which supplements regular satellite GPS data with info from cellular towers for faster location. (WiFi data is also worked into the mix, which should give users a pretty solid lock on where the heck they are on this planet.) Unfortunately, as expected there's no front-facing cam, and while its edges are thinner than before it's still about a millimeter thicker at the center (12.3mm over 11.6mm before). Apple hopes to launch in 70 countries this year, with the black 8GB going for $199 and 16GB for $299 in black or white. (Both price points require a contract, of course.) Apple will be hitting the 22 biggest markets, including the US, on July 11th.

Why not take a look at a video:
Always there is a need to take photos with a closed distance. Be it a flower, a small object, or some documents.
In this case, you got to turn on the macro mode in your camera. This photos demonstrate the effect of macro mode shooting.
Samsung join in Nokia N series, is introducing very powerful mobile that act like a handheld computer. Look at this newly release (in fact, not yet release until CommunicAsia in Singapore June).
One thing to pay attention is that unlike Samsun other Ultra Slim edition, this Omnia i900 is SLIM (12.5mm) and comes with Wifi!

Handwriting recognition <- Nokia N series does not have this
Apparently, the trend now is:
1) Larger and larger internal memory.
2) Slimer and Slimer and comes with Wifi.
3) More powerful camera with flash, autofocus and image stabliser that only available in camera in the past.

Samsung is repeating its success stories of first generation Ultra-Edition, last time 6.9 (X820), 8.4 (Z370), 12.9 and 13.8 ....
Then we have second generation U600 (10.9), U700 (12.1). These two models are phased out soon. Unfortunately, some users complaint that the light sensor is so sensitive that it will cut the call off when the phone is closed to your face while you are in a call.
Samsung lovers, for sure you will love this one.
Non-Samsung lovers, you will start to love Samsung due to Soul U900.

Other specs:
Comparing the distortion for two canon models: Canon A510 and Canon SD870.
The first set is measurement from a distant of 108cm.
Some slight distortion can still be seen for the two models.
Next, we compare from a distant of 168cm.
In this case, no distortion can be seen.
The images appear to be darker, as the contrast and brightness have been adjusted to see the edge clearer.
A measurement with shorter distant is reported in http://hightechwebs.blogspot.com/2008/05/canon-sd870-distortion-measurement.html
