Palm offers free Treo 750 Windows Mobile 6 upgrade

Palm has posted a free Windows Mobile 6 Pro upgrade for its Vodafone-branded Windows Mobile 5-based smartphone, the Treo 750v. The update also brings HSPDA high-speed download technology to the 3G phone.

While the 750v update is available to UK and Dutch users immediately, consumers in other European countries will have to wait until the end of September. So too will owners of the network-unlocked Treo 750.

The 750 already supports HSDPA, but it will get the full Windows Mobile 6 treatment and Palm's improved utility for connecting the Treo to a laptop as a wireless modem.

Palm said the update also includes improved calendar functionality, email enhancements, live links to Microsoft SharePoint documents, and the ability to set an out-of-office message and flag emails for follow-up from the device itself.

The Treo 750v WM6 update can be downloaded here.

Nokia Brings N95 Super-Phone to US

Nokia will start selling a fully US-compatible version of the Editors' Choice N95 super-phone next month, the company announced at an event in London on Wednesday. Nokia also announced four other new phones, including a sleek black-and-red music phone almost certainly destined for T-Mobile, a new gaming service under the old N-Gage brand, and several improvements to Nokia's music phone experiences.

The biggest news for US consumers is the US N95. The European version of the N95 has been sold direct through Nokia here in the US for a few months now, and was amazing enough to get our Editors' Choice award. Its five-megapixel camera, high-res screen, Wi-Fi, multimedia, and GPS make it a true handheld computer. But the Euro N95 was missing one key element: American high-speed cellular networks. The new, $699 US version adds in support for AT&T Wireless' HSDPA network, letting people browse the Web at speeds of around 1 megabit per second. It also pumps up the battery, increases RAM, and improves GPS performance over the earlier model. The unlocked US N95 is also packed with the kind of software and flexibility that US carriers typically strip out of phones sold here, including links to Yahoo!, Amazon, and Flickr.

While the US N95 is better than the European model for American buyers, US buyers will lose something: the US N95 doesn't work on European high-speed networks, instead dropping to EDGE speeds. Apparently, Nokia will only let you run at high speed on one side of the pond. We'll have a full review of the US N95 next week.

Nokia also announced four other phones today, all of which will be available through the company's flagship stores in the US by the end of the year.

An 8GB version of the European N95 with an even larger screen will run $750—here, you're trading in the US N95's network speed for the bigger screen and more storage.

The N81, a sliding music smart phone that comes in both flash-memory-ready and 8GB-built-in models, will sell for $500 to $600.

The 5610 XpressMusic music phone has an unusual slider key to flip it into music mode; that one will run $400.

But the most interesting for US consumers, because of its likelihood of being picked up by T-Mobile, is the 5310 XpressMusic. The Nokia 5310 is a slim candybar with an aluminum body, only 0.4 inches thick and weighing 2.5 ounces. Yet it has a 2MP camera and a high-res 320-by-240, 16-million-color screen. It's a combination of style and power we rarely see here in the US. The 5310 is expected to sell for $306 unlocked, but if T-Mobile picks up this EDGE phone, they'll subsidize it and lower the price.

The 5310 will work with both Windows Media Player and the new Nokia Music PC client, a very necessary refresh of Nokia's PC software. The Music PC client will enable two-way synchronization of playlists to and from the phone.

Finally, Nokia announced the revival of the N-Gage gaming brand—but this time it isn't an embarrassing, half-moon-shaped phone, it's an online service offering games for sale and multiplayer gaming potential on several Nokia Series 60 Version 3 phones. (Of the phones we've reviewed recently at PC Mag, that includes the N95 and N73, but oddly not the N75 or N76.) The new service, coming in November, will let you download a free client, try games for free, and buy them with a credit card. EA, Capcom, and Vivendi are all developing games for the new N-Gage platform.

Nokia also announced a music store, but it's irrelevant to US consumers; the company only plans to offer the online store in Europe and Asia, according to the press release. Ditto with Ovi, Nokia's Internet services brand, which pulls together "web communities" and various services at ovi.com; we're unlikely to be able to access it on our handsets here.

Here in the US, it's still up in the air whether wireless carriers will choose to block the service, as it may compete with their own attempts to sell games over the air.

Nokia gets official with the Nokia N81 N-Gage gaming phone

The Nokia N81 has hit the market as a revamped 3G N-Gage mobile gaming platform and packs a 2 megapixel camera, front-facing video calling camera, integrated speakers, and HSDPA to make online gaming a little smoother. Games can be downloaded for 10 Euros a piece, and will be integrated with the Nokia Ovi service that was just launched. And, the Nokia N81 has a really trick UI going on. The different window panes will be arranged in a rotating carousel, and will serve up different Ovi services as they become available.

The best part? There’s an 8GB model that will be going on sale Q4 2007. But, as high-end phones with massive flash memory capacity tend to do, the 8GB N81 will lighten your back pocket by €431 ($585), while the 2GB microSD unit will command a €360 ($490) price tag.

The HTC Touch II (Nike) TouchFLO smartphone

HTC has finally gone official with their HTC P5500 Touch II (codenamed “Nike”) Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional smartphone. Unfortunately for those residing within US borders, the HTC Nike is making its debut on Japan’s DoCoMo network, renamed (just like carriers love to do) as the HTC HT1100.

How could HTC possibly improve on the original HTC Touch smartphone - enough to justify an HTC Touch II? Well, we’re glad you asked. The new HTC P5500 Nike Touch II (whew, that’s a lot of names) is actually HTC’s first foray into the world of vertical sliders. With a numeric keypad hidden under that vertically slidingtouchscreen, we can say that this is one sweet, sweet piece of kit. And the HTC Nike P5500 lives up to its “Touch II” namesake by rocking the TouchFLO interface that was debuted on the HTC Touch not long ago.



But it doesn’t stop there. On top of that snazzy vertical slide, the DoCoMo HT1100 Touch II rocks both HSDPA (for use on Japan’s FOMA network) and GSM radios (for international roaming), making this thing a bona fide 3G handset. What else? Well, how about a 2.6 inch touchscreen, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, SIP support, Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera with a 1 megapixel front-facing shooter, and microSD card slot - all wrapped up in a 112 x 51 x 16.9mm, 130g package, powered by Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional.

We’re glad HTC decided to do away with the awkward, square shape of the original HTC P5500 Nike that we saw in that leaked product roadmap. Now, we just need it to come Stateside in September, that would be nice.

Nokia N81 and N82 come to light

Symbian-Guru has the scoop on not one, but two unannounced new high-end Nokia handsets, the N81 (pictured on the left) and the N82 (pictured on the right).

The slider-style N81 looks it'll be the successor to their N91 musicphone (except less, uh, busted-looking) and sport a full 8GB of memory, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, quad-band EDGE and 2100MHz HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The N82 has a more traditional candybar form-factor and'll have a five megapixel camera with Xenon flash and auto-focus Carl Zeiss lens, quad-band GSM (doesn't say whether it'll be GRPS or EDGE, but we're guessing EDGE), 2100MHz HSDPA, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, integrated GPS, FM tuner, and a microSD memory card slot.

Doesn't sound like either will be out until Q4 of this year.

Sony Ericsson to build PlayStation phone

Sony Ericsson games boss Peter Ahnegard has said the company has recently decided to move forward with plans to launch a PlayStation-branded mobile phone. The gaming phone will join the likes of Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot range of camera phones, and the Walkman range of music phones.

Speaking to Pocket Gamer, Ahnegard said that the final decision to move ahead with the project was made at Games Convention in Leipzig last week.

"Up until today we haven't felt we could launch a PlayStation phone because it wouldn't be recognised as a true continuation of that brand of products", he said.

"To explain our position I need to look at the brands we've developed so far, in particular the Cyber-shot and Walkman phones. When we looked at all the assets we could muster for music and imaging, the services, downloads and overall proposition, we felt that we could create something that really lived up to the values of the brand and fill all the required boxes.

"We're not launching a brand of handset simply because we can, but because we can lead [sic] up to the expectations of the consumer."

Sony Ericsson PSP phone coming

However, Ahnegard would not give any details on when the Sony Ericsson PlayStation phone will go on sale.

"It's obviously something that we're looking at but right now I can't really comment. Before Christmas, certainly... but exactly which Christmas I can't confirm!"

In June, Sony Ericsson moved to quell speculation about the PlayStation phone, saying that it was not in production and would not be for some time.

Sony Ericsson is also said to be toying with the idea of a Bravia-branded phone in the UK. Such phones already exist in Japan where the Bravia brand is strong.

LG Unveils iPhone-Like 3G Handset

LG Electronics Inc.'s battle to beat the iPhone is far from over. The South Korean electronics company has unveiled its second iPhone-like handset and this one packs several important features the iPhone doesn't: 3G and high-speed cellular data networking.

The LG-KS20 bears a strong resemblance to the iPhone thanks to a shiny front-face that is devoid of almost all buttons.

The phone is compatible with 3G WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) networks, the 3G standard being deployed by most operators around the world. That means it will work in countries like Japan and South Korea, where the iPhone won't at present.

It also means faster data networking. WCDMA supports speeds of around 384k bps (bits per second) in its basic version and the LG phone will also work on networks that have been upgraded with HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) data networking at speeds up to 3.6M bps. That's significantly faster than the EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) data network on which the iPhone operates.

Like the iPhone the LG handset also packs Wi-Fi.

Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and an MP3 music player. It's 12.6 millimeters thick, which makes it about a millimeter thicker than the iPhone.

However the LG handset is missing one feature that some customers will consider of utmost importance: Apple's OS X operating system. The LG handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 and despite advances from previous editions the software is still often criticized for being harder to use and clunkier than the Apple operating system.

The LG-KS20 is getting its unveiling at the IFA electronics show in Germany this week.

Earlier this year LG unveiled its first iPhone-like cell phone. The handset was developed with fashion house Prada and went on sale in Europe and Asia earlier this year at a premium price. The company hasn't revealed the price of the LG-KS20 but it should hit Europe in the fourth quarter of this year.

The iPhone Unlocking Video

A video showing a handset-unlocking vendor unlocking the iPhone with
software has appeared on the Web.

A video showing the founder of a Belfast, Northern Ireland company unlocking the iPhone hit the Web early Wednesday U.K. time as proof that software exists that can unlock Apple's device for use with carriers other than AT&T Inc.

In the six-minute video, posted on the iphoneunlocking.com blog, John McLaughlin, founder of Uniquephones, is seen with a PC and an iPhone unlocking the device using software from his company.

In the video, McLaughlin takes the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card out of a Vodafone Blackberry device and puts it into the iPhone. He then makes two phone calls using the device. The video was shot at his house in Northern Ireland, he said.
The video, which was shot at McLaughlin's house in Northern Ireland, is of poor quality, as noted in his blog entry. "Sorry about the focus, it was done late night using a Nokia N95, but you'll see the process," he wrote.

Uniquephones already unlocks phones from many manufacturers, including Nokia and Motorola, and about 60 percent of its customers are in the U.S.

Eager to Unlock
The video is the second time someone has tried to prove a software-only method exists to unlock the iPhone. AT&T has a long-term contract with Apple to be the exclusive U.S. wireless carrier for the phone, a fact that has irked iPhone users who want to have the option of using another carrier's service. The iPhone isn't yet available officially outside the U.S.

The race to unlock the iPhone began as soon as the device hit stores June 29. Beginning last Friday, reports began to surface that a teenager in New Jersey had won. Seventeen-year-old George Hotz, who has since traded his unlocked iPhone for a new car, unlocked the phone via software and hardware modifications, the latter of which required soldering. However, most observers agreed that not many users would want to tinker with such an expensive device this way.

On the same day, a company called iPhoneSimFree.com and McLaughlin both claimed to have the first software-only unlocking method, but iPhoneSimFree.com was the first to show it to a credible third party, an editor of Engadget.com.

Warned by AT&T
McLaughlin had planned to post his company's method for unlocking the iPhone to the Web site iphoneunlocking.com last Saturday, but it didn't go up. He said he feared legal action by AT&T Wireless if he posted the software because of a phone call he received at 3 a.m. in Belfast from a representative of O'Melveny & Myers LLP, an international law firm calling on AT&T's behalf. McLaughlin claimed the caller said Uniquephones.com would be distributing and infringing upon the copyright of Apple's intellectual property if he began selling the software to iPhone subscribers.

As of Tuesday, McLaughlin said he is still undecided whether he will distribute the software, but that the video at least proves to naysayers that his company has unlocked the iPhone.

Here Comes The iPhone Unlocking Video

Nokia: Microphone problem hampers E90 roll-out

Nokia (NOK1V.HE) said a defective component in microphones, coupled with high demand, have hampered the availability of its flagship business phone, the E90 Communicator.

Background noise during phone calls, which raised customer complaints, was caused by a defective component in the microphone, spokeswoman Theresa Parenteau for Nokia Enterprise Solutions unit told Reuters on Tuesday.

"Although the issue is now rectified it has resulted in more limited availability than originally anticipated in some markets," she said.

When Nokia unveiled the phone in February 2007 it said it would start selling it in the second quarter in selected markets, with volume shipments coming in the July-September quarter.

Customers have also reported scratches on the phone screen caused by some keyboard keys touching the screen. Nokia said it has now added a strengthening layer on the screens and modified the keyboard, so the keys will not touch the screen.

The HSDPA and WLAN-enabled E90 Communicator, which features a full keyboard, retails for around 750-800 euros ($1,025-$1,093) before taxes and subsidies.

How To: Adding Subway Maps To Your IPhone

One of the first truly useful hacks for the iPod was adding maps to the photo and video capable models, and of course, since the iPhone is no different than an iPod when it comes to photos, you can easily do the same with your phone.

If you're an iPhone user living in New York, head over to Khoi Vinh’s Subtraction blog and grab his pre-compiled zip file of New York Subway map images to stash on your iPhone. Using the tile feature of the thumbnail view in Photo Albums you can re-create the whole map and then zoom on individual sections. A flick of the finger moves to the next “quadrant.”

As Vinh explains: “This makes the map much more navigable, because if you have a mental understanding of how the city’s boroughs are laid out, you intuitively know which tile to jump to in order to find your stop.”

Vinh’s maps are based on the MTA’s subway maps and we suspect at some point he’ll get a cease and desist letter from the MTA so grab them while they’re available.

And if you know of similar packages for other cities throw the links in the comments.

Teen who hacked iPhone gets car for his efforts

The New Jersey teen who hacked the iPhone is going to get his wish - well, at least one of them.

George Hotz, who last week found a way to manipulate Apple's new cell phone so that it will work on other networks besides AT&T's, is trading one of the two phones he hacked for a new car. And, as Hotz would put it, it's a "sweet" one at that, a Nissan 350Z.

"This has been a great end to a great summer," Hotz wrote on his blog.

The teen said he is trading the iPhone to Terry Daidone, co-founder of CertiCell, a Louisville, Ky-based mobile phone repair company. In exchange, Daidone is going to buy him the car and will give him three brand new iPhones, which Hotz plans to hand out to members of his informal team that helped crack the iPhone.

As part of the deal, Hotz will have a paid consulting job for CertiCell. He plans to visit the company's Kentucky offices later this week to demonstrate his iPhone hack in person.

Daidone and other CertiCell officials did not return calls seeking comment, but the company's Web site confirmed the consulting deal. Hotz initially tried to sell the iPhone on eBay, but said he ended the auction after it received multiple bogus bids. Instead, he solicited a deal through his blog, which is how he hooked up with Daidone. And now he's eagerly awaiting his new car. "I have it in writing," he said. "It's all signed and good." Now if only he could line up that Google internship he's gunning for

Is Unlocking Apple's iPhone Legal?

The battle of the iPhone hackers erupted over the weekend, after teenager George Holz released a YouTube video showing his iPhone connecting to the T-Mobile network. Apple's iPhones come locked so they only operate with AT&T's network.

Holz, who is a freshman at the Rochester Institute of Technology, said his method involves a substantial amount of soldering and risks making the phone entirely inoperable.

Following Holz's announcement on Friday, several other groups announced software hacks, with iPhoneSimFree advertising "the worlds first (and only) software driven SIM unlocking service for the iPhone."

Software Hack Verified

The Engadget blog posted a story Friday confirming that the iPhoneSimFree hack works. Ryan Block wrote that "we can confirm with 100 percent certainty that iPhoneSIMfree.com's software solution completely SIM unlocks the iPhone, is restore-resistant, and should make the iPhone fully functional for users outside of the U.S."

Block said that while it's still possible that Apple might be able to disable the hack with an upgrade, he was able to do a restore on the unit and then replace an inactive AT&T SIM card with one from another carrier.

On Saturday, a shadowy group called iPhoneUnlocking issued a statement on its blog, stating that although its "remote software unlocking services" for iPhone is ready, a lawyer claiming to represent AT&T threatened the group with legal action. Until an assessment is made of the potential of legal action, the company said, it is unable to release the unlocking software for sale.

Monday, the group posted a message on its blog requesting the "OMM lawyer" to call back. The reference appears to be to the international law firm of O'Melveny & Meyers, which has offices in Menlo Park; the firm's Web site is omm.com. The firm did not return a call requesting comment.

But Is It Legal?

The legal status of unlocking an iPhone is somewhat murky. The main law in this area is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which forbids the circumvention of copy-protection technology. Last year, however, the Copyright Office created an exemption "for the sole purpose of lawfully connecting to a wireless telephone communication network."

That clearly protects people like Holz, who has said his sole interest in the hacking project was to be able to use his iPhone on his family's T-Mobile service.

But the DMCA might not protect groups such as iPhoneSimFree and iPhoneUnlocking, which are planning to sell their hack software for profit. Writing on the Engadget blog, copyright attorney Nilay Patel said that AT&T or Apple might opt to sue on other grounds.

"It's most likely not legal to unlock iPhones and sell them on eBay, because your 'sole purpose' wouldn't be to connect to a cell network -- it would be to profit from the sale of unlocked phones," he wrote. Case in point: TracFone has been getting settlements from resellers who have been unlocking their phones and reselling them, Patel said.

TracFone Settlements

Intellectual property attorney Denise Howell agreed with Patel, noting in an e-mail, "There's a reason the TracFone cases have been settling: Namely, an unlocking business arguably goes beyond the 'sole purpose' language of the exemption."

Another sticking point is that the Copyright Office exemptions are only effective for a few years. Thus, even if the software sales were deemed to fall within the exemption, "it might only be legal for the term of the exemption," Howell noted.

Holz himself had listed his hacked iPhone on eBay and finally found -- among dozens of fake bids -- an offer he wanted to take. Terry Daidone, founder of cell phone refurbishing company CertiCell, offered Holz a Nissan 350Z Roadster in exchange for the phone. "It's the car the bad guy in the movie 'Fast and Furious 3' drives," Holz told the New York Daily News.

iPhone Interface Experience Now Available on Java Phones

A new milestone has been reached in the mobile industry with the release of a
new technology called "CM3" that allows publishers to easily produce iPhone
style rich media mobile applications for everyday Java cell phones. While menus
swish and slide across the screen of the smaller java phones, it's hard not to
be blown away by the the smoothness of the experience and the fact we're talking
about any 99 dollar cell phone that can run basic java.

A new milestone has been reached in the mobile industry with the release of a new technology called "CM3" that allows publishers to easily produce iPhone style rich media mobile applications for everyday Java cell phones. While menus swish and slide across the screen of the smaller java phones, it's hard not to be blown away by the the smoothness of the experience and the fact we're talking about any 99 dollar cell phone that can run basic java.

With the Uber successful launch of Apples iPhone, companies, design houses and indie developers have been scrambling to find a way to keep up with the direction Apple iPhone has pushed the mobile industry, which is towards rich media end-user experiences. Till now, mobile applications were good if they had some graphics and a midi player. Even phones like the blackberry and the treo have survived without giving very much in terms of bells and whistles for the in-hand experience. Now with the over the top response to iPhone, mobile publishers are looking to offer some fun on the handset making the simple use of the application an activity to enjoy along with the experience of the actual service.

"This reality of giving the small business and sub prime consumer the ability to have what is now so often even called an "iPhone Experience" to use, sell, market and promote themselves is a triumph for small business in America. The idea is to be innovative enough to make it more and more difficult for 800 pound gorillas like Apple, Adobe and Many others to control the timeline of innovation and commerce in America. Demystifying the "iPhone Experience" this quickly and placing the technology within reach of hungry developers and in the hands of everyday people (end-users), is our way of aggressively pushing innovation forward. and maybe faster than some big wigs would like." Says Moses Johnson, Lead Architect and Creator of CM3. "I think that's what is making CM3 so successful."

What is CM3?
CM3 is an affordable way to create animated rich media mobile applications for Java Mobile Phones. It is the fastest way to get to market with a mobile application that harnesses the design-driven user experience that makes the iPhone so popular: Swooshing Menus, attractive motion graphics: A sense of style for your custom Java Applications.

CM3 hosts a developer community for CM3 users where members can share code, ideas and resources in a "Closed Source" environment. Create your own original program from CM3 source code such as mobile storefronts, mobile media manager, mobile TV, video on demand, media search applications, chat, etc. Then get resources, development assistance, hints and hook-ups from the CM3 Developer network. The CM3 Developer Group promotes an environment where innovation can flourish and companies and independent developers can safely participate and develop applications together while keeping all intellectual property proprietary.

Report: iPhone system hacked, made usable in Israel

The new iPhone is seen inside the Apple Store in New York, June 29, 2007. Hundreds lined up on Friday outside the Apple store hours before the iPhone, a combination widescreen iPod, cellphone and pocket Internet device, went on sale at Apple's 164 stores and nearly 1,800 AT&T stores. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo)

Three Israeli computer engineers have managed to hack Apple's iPhone system, and made it available for use through Israeli carriers, local daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported on its website on Sunday. According to the report, the three were also able to lend the iPhone a Hebrew interface, thus breaking Apple's restriction on using the phone only through the AT&T company in the United States. The report said that Dubbi, Ofir and Eli, the three Israeli hackers, bought their iPhones abroad, long before the thought of hacking its systems entered their minds. Ofir was quoted by the report as saying that he knew at the beginning that the iPhone would be just a nice gadget and not an active phone if it was used in Israel, but he didn't mind and still purchased it. Another hacker Eli revealed that breaking into the system of iPhone didn't cost anything, but did take a long time.

The three are not ready to share how they got the iPhone to work, but did say that practically anyone could do it, said the report.

The iPhone is a multimedia and Internet-enabled mobile phone designed and sold by Apple Inc.

Its functions include those of a camera phone and a multimedia player, in addition to text messaging and visual voicemail. It also offers Internet services including e-mail, web browsing, and local Wi-Fi connectivity.

Apple launched the iPhone in June, granting AT&T and a few European carriers an exclusive two-year distribution deal.

Not long ago on Internet were found first real Nokia N-95 8Gb smartphone photos

It is expected that in the interior this device could be also changed in comparison with the previous build.In particular, the display resolution could be 320х427.
