Garmin nüvifone Delayed, 3G iPhone breathes easy

Garmin nüvifone which was considered as a rival to the 3G iPhone has been delayed till mid 2009. This leaves lot of room for RIM to tweak the 9500 Thunder to perfection.

"The nuvifone will not be available in fourth quarter as previously announced," said the company in an official statement. "While we had hoped to have carrier launches in the fourth quarter, we have found that meeting some of the carrier specific requirements will take longer than anticipated. We remain pleased with carrier interest in the device and are working toward making necessary design changes to meet their requirements. We anticipate launching the product during the first half of 2009."

Looks like iPhone 3G & Apple can breathe easy & by then maybe we will seeing a 3rd Gen. iPhone.

Nokia 5800 leakes again, UI is still unrefined

The Nokia 5800 has leaked again, but this time it's showing it's UI also. For those who forgot the 5800 is Nokia's answer to the 3G iPhone. It's a Touch Screen Based Smartphone running on S60 5th Edition having a 3.2 inch screen with a resolution of 640 x 360. It also has a 3.5 mm jack, Wi-Fi, GPS & a 3.2mp Auto Focus Cam with Carl Zeiss Optics.

The positioning of the phone as an iPhone beater can be seen from it's branding as a Xpress Music Phone. It might also come with Nokia's Comes with Music Service, which allows unlimited music downloads for 1 year. The Tube also has a newly developed battery called the BL-5J and it will also support the TV-out which the iPhone currently does not. If Nokia markets & positions this correctly, they might have a best seller in their hands but they need to refine the UI of the phone as it will get easily beaten by the iPhone's UI.

Sony Ericsson G705 leaks, no Auto Focus in Camera

Sony Ericsson G705 has been leaked. It's Slider phone in the G Series, but is not a smartphone like G700 & G900. It has GPS & WiFi but has no auto focus in the Camera. It has 128 MB Memory & has support for M2 cards to expand it further. It will also support geotagging.

It seems like a non-Walkman version of the recently announced W595 and fits in SE's strategy of making different versions of the same phone to cater to different audiences rather than to make a do-all phone. This is evident by the lack of Auto Focus in the camera of the phone which is completely unacceptable by today's standard. Even Music Flagships like Nokia N81 & Samsung i450 have Auto Focus cameras in them.
