Ever wonder how does a handphone looks like in the future? What kind of functions will it provides? What will be the shape looks like? How can it be integrated to your life. Well, I doubt anyone got answer to those questions, but Nokia got a handset of the future for you, Nokia 888!
Nokia 6700 is the lastest addition to the Nokia Classic Series. It is an enchacement to the Nokia 6300. Main addition is the improvement on camera (now 5MP with LED flash). To me, this series of phone is nice in terms of size, however, the weight is slight heavier for its size. Another attractive point for this phone is its full metal keymat and casing.

With the growing computing power of the mobile handset, the difference between a handheld computer with a smart phone is getting blur. Eventually, we will see a small device, that can let you connect the internet, play multimedia files, play games, and document processing.
However, the main challenge is at the interface design, how you manage to have a screen big enough for the user to have a comfortable view of information and at the same time the device is small enough for easy portable. Well, with the more and more advanced technology, this problem will be solved one day. Lets see some products from Sony that is small enough to carry in your pocket.
If you don't agree that the above is small, lets see what happen if you do the same thing to your normal laptop:
Of course the last one, whole CPU is just for kidding.

Handphone is no longer just a phone, maybe the term "mobile" is more appropriate. As it is now a device that provides entertainment and information wherever you go. With the growing popularity in mobile TV, or with the huge memory available, people already treat the mobile as a music or video player. In this case, the ear piece or the hand free set will be very important.
Look at these Samsung advertisement, looks like it is suggesting you that with Samsung technology, you can feel like someone is whispering in your ear.
In fact, I would suggest all the mobile phones use the standard connector, then we can easily get the best ear piece off the shelves and enjoy the music or vide.

No doubt that iPhone is not a powerful, but it is a popular one and it is in the wish list of many. Why is that so? Compare its functions with many others handphone, like Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericson, it does not have the best camera, not even video recoding function, no wifi. So what is so special about it? Maybe these videos can give you some idea.
This article from somewhere, give you a very good solution when your electronic devices like handphone, mobile, iPod, etc drop into water. You got to know, most of the time, warranty does not cover water damage, so what can you do?
To summary, here is the tips:
1) Remove the cover.
2) Take out the battery.
3) Put everything into a bowl of rice.
Rice can help to absorb the excess moisture. Let it dry for at least 24 hours. I would suggest you use the hair dryier to dry it further before you going to restart it. Do not try to charge the battery. No harm trying, since it is already a gone case.

No doubt that, Nokia was and still remains the number 1 in mobile handset / handphone provider. Not sure if you still remember the 3210, the first one without an antenna visible. Since that model, Nokia secures its number 1 position. Of course, later on Nokia did try many things, like the N-gage, which I think quite a nice one, but unfortunately not that sucessful. The N-Series, too bulky and too expensive for me, but appears to be quite sucesseful. There are also the 8210 which is a small and slim one. Too many classical phone from Nokia actually.
No doubt, I am sure everyone own a Nokia before. Lets click and enlarge the figure above, and take a look how many Nokia handset you recognize and dream to own one before.
