Samsung unveils i7110 Symbian Smartphone

After leaking a couple times, Samsung i7110 has been officially announced a few hours back. The i7110 is the Nokia N79 rival from Samsung and has better specs than it's rival. The i7110 also runs on the S60 3rd Edition FP2 like the N79. The i7110 is very slim in size with a thickness of just 12.9 mm. Also it has a OLED 2.6 inch QVGA Screen as compared to the 2.4 inch screen of N79. The Nokia N85 has a similar 2.6 inch AMOLED screen in it. It has an 8-way Optical Trackpad like the Samsung i900 Omnia which allows the user to move the cursor just like a mouse.

Coming to specs, the i7110 has in addition to the screen, a 5 Mega Pixel Camera with dual LED flash. It also has geotagging, face, smile and blink detection. Also it has Wi-fi(with DLNA certification) for surfing as well as GPS for navigation. Samsung also bundles it's Samsung Navigator application which has maps of 10 European cities in it including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Helsinki, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris, and Rome. However you can't use the Nokia Maps like you do in Nokia Mobile Phones as it's incompatible with Samsung S60 phones (atleast till now).

The i7110 can also double up as camcorder with impressive VGA recording capability and support for high speed recording also. It also comes with DNSe 2.0 Engine, like the Samsung Innov8. Among other things it also has a FM Transmitter which allows transmitting any playing song to a nearby FM receiver. The FM transmitter can also be switched on to receive voice navigation guide via car speakers when using GPS. It also supports DivX playback natively, without any need for conversion. It also boasts of TV-out so you can view your videos & photos on your TV.

It comes with a MicroSD Card slot with support for SDHC (SD High Capacity) Cards. It comes bundled with FIFA 2008 & Asphalt Games, however Nokia's N-Gage can't run on it. The only thing missing in it are a Camera Lens Cover, Xenon Flash & a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Samsung i7110 should be available in Europe just in time for the Christmas holidays. It will start shipping first in Russia from November 2008 with other markets following soon.

LG launch Prada II KF 900

LG today announced the successor of the ever popular Prada phone which had leaked earlier. Officially called KF 900, the Prada II bumps up the specs of the original Prada phone to 5 Mega Pixel Camera, Wi-fi, 3G, HSDPA & Qwerty Keypad. The 5 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens comes to replace the modest 2 megapixel shooter of the original Prada phone. With 3G & HSDPA present, users can use to surf on the go. The handset has become thicker with a thickness of 18 mm against a thickness of 12 mm in the original Prada due to the inclusion of the sliding Qwerty Keyboard. The absence of GPS in Prada II is bound to raise a few eyebrows considering that LG is demanding a price of € 600 euros (£469 & $810). The new Prada mobile will be available though major mobile dealerships in Italy, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Netherlands in the 4Q of 2008.


Detailed Specs of LG Prada II KF 900 :

• 5 Mega Pixel Auto Focus Camera with Flash
• Schneider-Kreuznach optics

Get push feature for your gmail in iphone

Hi Friends,

As you all must be aware that the latest firmware of iPhone has introduced the feature of push mail. But sadly for Gmail its not fully push, its a fetch system, which checks for your mail ever 15 mins or 30 mins or more.

The real push is only for Apple's paid service mobile me, MS Exchange and yahoo mail.

So I came across an idea to get Gmail as push in iPhone via yahoo. This may be useful to many Gmail users.

Its a very simple process.


Step 1:
Create a new ymail account at yahoo (If you have a yahoo account then u can use that & combine the yahoo & Gmail into 1)

Step 2:
Login in your Gmail & go to settings....and then select the option of filters....and then finally click on "Create New Filter".
Then enter your Gmail email address in the to section like shown in the image below.

Click on Image to see Full Size Image

Click on Next Step

Select the option of "Mark as read" to avoid confusion in your Gmail account. (If you don't select that, then all the mails forwarded to ymail> will be shown as unread in Gmail)

Then enter your "ymail" email address in forward it to column as shown in the picture below.

Click on Image to see Full Size Image

Click on Create Filter to finish the process.

Now all the mails sent to your Gmail will be forwarded to ymail automatically.

Step 3:
In your iPhone, delete or deactivate your Gmail mail setting. (This is done to avoid duplication of emails in your phone)

Step 4:
Create a new mail account of yahoo (your new ymail address which you just made).
And in settings of iPhone don't forget to keep the push on for yahoo.

That's it guys & gals..........you will now get all your Gmail mails pushed immediately via free yahoo.............!! Isn't that awesome?

The only minus point in this system is, you cant edit the outgoing smtp & use the Gmail for sending mails. So when you send email from your iPhone, it will go via yahoo. But you can always add a signature in settings and mention your Gmail address.

I hope this would be useful to the many iPhone + Gmail users who wanted free push mail. And one more important thing........with the new iPhone firmware 2.1, apple seems to have messed up the push feature altogether....and when the phone is idle, it does not work. It works only when the phone is in use. Even the fetch of Gmail is not working in idle mode. But apple has recognised this bug & is working upon it and will correct it soon in a future firmware.

However the users with firmware 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2 should be able to get push emails even in idle mode.
