HTC P6500 Sedna has just been unveiled and proves not to be the average smartphone right from the start. The handset targets especially the business market, people that rely on their PDA phone for handling their work when out of the office.
HTC Sedna shows some impressive specifications that make this one of the most powerful such devices out there. The 3.5 inch screen is not something you see in every smartphone out there and should prove to be extremely handy for viewing large images. The fact that it is an anti-glare touchscreen makes it even more special and in line with the current trend that finds this feature to be an extremely important one.
This is a Quadband GSM phone and also packs tri-band WCDMA technology, which should make it compatible to several networks. The handset also includes several solutions for data management, with HSDPA connectivity being the most important one. It would have been a real shame not to have this capability, as fast data transfer speeds are quite important for strong mobile devices. To make the package complete, HTC Sedna also includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity.
The 3 megapixel camera that this PDA phone has included should be able to take high quality captures, especially as it also includes auto-focus. Another impressive aspect about it is that it also brings GPS technology, a feature that is rapidly spreading among mobile phones.
HTC Sedna runs on a Qualcomm 400MHz processor, which makes it a powerful device. It has 256MB internal memory with the option to add up to 1GB in addition to two external SD card slots. It works on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system, which proves the fact that it is one of the most powerful such devices out there.
HTC P6500 Sedna will be available in stores starting this November, although the producer did not mention anything about its price.

HTC P6500 Sedna Officially Released
Sony Ericsson K660 Finally Unveiled
It will allow him to handle blogs and surf the web at high rates, after going past the small screen issue. For this, the user can even zoom in for a closer look at text or images. Moreover, the K660 also includes a Bookmark function, a single click button that takes the user back to the Home Page and an ‘Enter Address’ shortcut, highly similar to PC based internet. The phone’s design is one of its strongest points, as it looks both sporty and stylish in two color combination of lime green with white and black with red. It also packs the Google Mapsfor Mobile, a software which manages to replace the functions of the regular GPS.
The 2 megapixel camera will manage to bring only average quality pictures and nothing impressive. There’s no harm in that, as the phone targets especially those people who need a mobile device for surfing the web rather than one for shooting pictures. “This Web-optimised phone is a clear step along that journey and will appeal to individuals who are managing their busy lives and social networks online, whether its arranging to meet up for a football match or booking concert tickets”, said Martin Winkler, Head of Web Marketing at Sony Ericsson.
This proves to be only part of “Sony Ericsson’s vision to offer ‘Generation Web’ a mobile internet experience that’s rich, user-friendly and satisfying”, he further added.
There is still a lot of time left to wait until seeing this phone in stores, as Sony Ericsson K660 will be available starting with the first quarter of year 2008.

SOS Tracker Function For Nokia GPS Phone
PhantomEye has announced the launch of MySpot, a personal security tracking software designed to give users a one click SOS “Panic Button” on their Nokia 6110 Navigator.
The MySpot allows a user to leave behind a personal location trail of “electronic breadcrumbs” - and notify multiple people by email, SMS, voice call, etc. when in an emergency situation, the company says.
PhantomEye Chairman, Ken W. Stokes said, “Before MySpot, users had to carry a special device to indicate an emergency situation and using conventional mobile phones, call up several numbers. The new MySpot solution from phantomEye solves all that complexity with a single SOS ‘Panic Button’ slide and click which can then call up to 20 pre-configured phones, send endless e-mail, SMS, IM and twitter messages (leaving a trail of so called cascading electronic breadcrumbs) - all with the current or last location of the user – and without further action needed on behalf of the sender. As a backup one phone number is also automatically dialled from the phone and this can be 000, back to base for security operatives, or in the case of teenage children – the parents!”
“While many mobile phones use GPS navigation for a variety of functions, most often to give location information and directions to the person using the phone. MySpot works in reverse – it allows a pre determined group of recipients to keep track of, and locate, the user. I believe phantomEye can now claim the GPS leading edge by exploiting this niche technology software and turning mobile phones into a “location documenting” device, sending/recording serial “electronic breadcrumbs” and offering high priority alert forwarding capability” Stokes added.
RRP: $30 one-time fee activation
