People of this generation are choosier in every case either shopping or buying any mobile model. So, manufactures are not left behind. They are more conservative towards their targeted clients by producing bulk of handsets with advanced creation of features and in shapes.
Mobile phone deals are the cream which adds in our modern technology life. This form of cream makes the persons more slippery on the latest mobiles with suitable deals.

AT&T has pulled the plug on its CallVantage voice over IP phone service, according to letters from subscribers this week.
The service competed with other VoIP services like Vonage. VoIP services use broadband networks to place phone calls. These services are much less expensive than traditional landline phone services and cost between $20 and $30 per month. But even this price is proving too high for consumers who are cutting their traditional phones to use their cell phones or are signing up for voice services with their cable providers, which are bundling the phone service in with broadband and TV service.
AT&T launched CallVantage in 2004 when AT&T was still just a long-distance phone company. But the company hasn’t disclosed subscribers numbers in recent years. The Associated Press reports that at the end of 2004, the service had 53,000 subscribers.
It is not a huge shock that AT&T is getting rid of the service. Last summer, the company stopped signing up new subscribers. Also AT&T has been pushing a new flavor of the VoIP service that it sells to its U-verse customers. U-verse is a new fiber network that AT&T is building to deliver high-speed broadband, TV, and phone service to consumers. Like the cable companies, AT&T is bundling the voice service with TV and broadband.
Verizon Communications also recently shut down its VoIP service called VoiceWing. It also sells an IP-based telephony service to its Fios fiber-to-the home customers as part of a triple play package.
An AT&T spokesman has said that the CallVantage service will be disconnected in phases throughout the year. And the company will send several more reminders to its customers before it shuts down the service.

The Nokia E75 started shipping a few days ago and we’ve managed to get our hands on one of the first devices. This is a full retail, check out our un-boxing for what the retail pack consists of.
The Nokia E75 is classed as a business phone and sits somewhere between the Nokia E71 and the Communicator range. Check out our review to see how whether it lives up to expectations.
The Nokia E75 is an impressive looking smartphone. It feels solid in the hand and due to its rather flat profile looks larger than the likes of the Nokia 5800, with which it shares a similar size and weight. Initial impressions of the build quality are that it’s certainly on a par with the Nokia E71 and it feels good in the hand. The 139g weight is well balanced.
Check out the Nokia E75 Tech Specs
FEATURES: When it comes to features, the screen is a standard 2.4-inch screen with 320 x 240 pixel resolution. While there is nothing special about it, it’s certainly bright and the interface is easy to navigate. The main apps run along the top of the screen and can be accessed using the omni-directional key that sits just below the screen, between the Home and Return keys.
The numeric keypad has plenty of bounce to it and instead of individual keys you’ll find each row is a strip with a sensor underneath. This works well and helps minimise dust and grime getting between the keys.
KEYBOARD: The secret trick with the Nokia E75 that is tucked away at the back of the phone. It’s a side-loading QWERTY, which splits open as soon as you put pressure on the two halves.
As soon as you slide open the QWERTY keyboard the screen rotates so you’ll be viewing it in landscape mode. This is a nice touch and only goes back to Portrait mode when you close it back up again. The benefits of this are evident, as you’ll only really open the keyboard when you want to use it.
The keyboard itself is a nice size and the weighting of the handset means you’ll need to hold it in two hands for best effect. The keys feel large enough but due to the design have a rather flat feel to them as you type, which means you’ll be double-checking you’ve hit the right key every time.
We would have liked a slightly larger Space bar, as the one fitted is a little small and you will find yourself having to look down to locate it from time-to-time.
When pressing the buttons on the left-hand side you need to hold the device firmly, otherwise you’ll find yourself sliding the phone open slightly. This isn’t a problem, more a little irksome and could have been easily resolved with a latch, as can be found on the Nokia N97.
AROUND THE SIDES: Features tucked around the sides of the phones are 3.5mm audio jack on the top, camera and media buttons on the right-hand side, charger input, which is the standard Nokia charger can be found on the bottom of the phone, will finally on the left-hand side are access ports for the microUSB and microSD slots.
CONCLUSION: So, is the Nokia E71 about to become the businessman’s new email favourite? Its early days yet and we’ve not fully got to grips with using it. However, at the moment it’s a close call. It’s a user-friendly phone and using the keyboard is nice but unless you have a real need to have a larger keyboard, such as writing full documents rather than just quick emails on the move, Nokia E71 users may well be happy with what they’re currently using.

Adoption of mid-range smartphones is set to buck the trend of falling revenue in the mobile market this year.
According to IDC’s Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker for Q4 2008, the number of mobile phones shipped fell by 16 per cent to 2.98 million units in 2008. It claimed the number of converged devices (smartphones) shipped increased by 8 per cent and will rise by a further 8 per cent this year due to adoption of midrange priced devices.
IDC telecommunications market analyst, Mark Novosel, said the decline was due largely to customer migration to Telstra’s Next G network.
“The majority of the year-on-year decline in 2008 was due to the unsustainable boom caused by Telstra’s CDMA to Next G migration in 2007,” Novosel said in a statement. “The actual effect of the slowing economy is less significant at this stage.
“Converged devices available [for] $49 per month should do well in 2009. It’s difficult to imagine anyone giving up their mobile phone despite growing negativity in the economy, however, it is likely some consumers on higher plans will start cutting back on their mobile spend when it’s time to renew their contract,” he said.
The IDC report claimed the recession has pushed up prices for mobile phones, and claimed adoption of high-end smartphones will drop this year. The researcher said last year shipments of iPhones dropped 27 per cent quarter-on-quarter, and unit costs are decreasing in the lead up to product upgrades.
Shipments of mobiles built on HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) constituted 45 per cent of the mobile market in 2008, according to IDC, and will increase by 4 per cent this year.

Just wanted to inform you guys that I’ve received a few new phones that I got from freelancing for one tech magazine. I’ll have them both for about a week to write a decent review, but off course I’ll try to give my impressions here as well.
The first thing I tried out when I got the phone in hand was to try out the keyboard, and it turned out surprisingly well, working in landscape mode with both hands does make the difference.
Despite being totally flat and without any spaces, the keys made from mat plastic are big enough and easy to press down, and I entered considerably less mistakes when writing a text message than on my N85.
When sliding to reveal the qwerty keyboard, the phone unlocks and the screen automatically rotates to landscape mode with no hiccups. There’s an app dedicated for handling various scenarios when opening the slider, by the way. It’s possible to work with the phone in this opened position while putting it on the desk, but the camera hump on the backside is a bit of a nuisance here…
Secondly, the phone overall is much nicer on look and on the feel in real life than in pictures, the metal battery cover and rim around the perimeter of the phone are the trademark signs of quality Eseries is known for ( on the back of the battery cover it literally says ‘Stainless steel’). That of course does add up to the overall weight of the phone, which is a bit more than the N85, 139 g. The 2.4″ screen is also quite usable, although with same old QVGA resolution and not as bright colored as OLED screens, it’s physical size feels just right.
Nokia E75
The one downside I already managed to notice is the keys around the joypad, the are not separated and consist of single piece, which makes the soft key use somewhat difficult. The joypad itself feels a bit small, but nevertheless easy to use. One thing I already miss is the key lock/unlock switch found on my N85, that would speed work with the phones for a second or two. There’s also a white pulsating light indicator around the joypad area, that blinks even faster when there’s a missed call for example.
On the software side, good’ol Symbian FP2 is present, but there’re some well thought of elements that are exclusive Eseries features, like Bussines/Personal desktop view modes, customizable home screen with ton of useful information about mailbox, appointments, wlan etc. The new Ovi themed menu layout comes complete with apps stocked logically in separate folders like ‘Media’, ‘Control panel’ and ‘Phone’ , but it took me some time to locate the NGage menu icon.
E75 & qwerty keyboard
Aside from extremely responsive ui experience (Ngage games load considerably faster than on N85, faster launching and closing apps), I want to note here the pressence of ovi online services, including Music Store, Share Online and Files on Ovi, last of which comes with trial subscription.
Another interesting software feature is the support of NGage 2.0, which was preinstalled on the phone and fully working (the keyboard doesn’t seem to be optimized for gaming purpose at the moment). Nokia finally decided to gives us, at least the Eseries users, a full version of Quickoffice, and there’s also a Dictionary application with the ability to download additional language packs.
Samsung S5230
So as a Smartphone for business or just for heavy texters, this phone may not be perfect but a great solution (the screen is still too small). But like I mentioned earlier, there’re apps that point out that this device is also intended for leisure, f.e. music and games, so it’s strengths come from combining all elements necessary for a day to day phone.
As for myself, I consider it as a valuable insight on how great would the qwerty keyboard be when combined with a touch sensitive screen on the Nokia N97. I’ve already fallen in love with the full qwerty keyboard on a mobile, and there’s is no way turning back now.
