3GSM: Nokia's 3110 - a dad phone?

Nokia have spent a great deal of R&D money trying to emulate the success of the 6310i, that black and white screen, indestructable phone that still goes for a fortune on eBay. So, this is what they've come up with - an indestructable phone with a colour screen. Genius.

3GSM 2007: Motorola Q9

Another launch from Motorola, who have without a doubt been the most active of the big boys here at 3GSM. This one is the Q9, which offers a whole host of serious business functions, all packed into a none-to-ugly design.

The only new handset launched by Motorola at 3GSM 2007 without HSDPA connectivity is the MOTOSLVR L9 - but it's still got plenty of useful features on-board to make it worthy of a look.

The MOTOSLVR L9 is a GPRS/EDGE handset with an integrated music player, FM radio and a stylish design with mirror-reflective finish. The FM radio supports RDS for station information on the go, while Bluetooth lets you play your music player tunes wirelessly. Also featured is a 2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom, video recording with 4x zoom and full-screen landscape playback.

Nokia has launched its second wave of Eseries business devices with three new handsets on show - the E90 Communicator, Nokia E65, and Nokia E61i.

All devices are quad-band GSM and 3G friendly as well as having Wi-Fi connectivity, with the E90 Communicator also HSDPA-enabled. All devices also use Nokia's newly-launched Intellisync Mobile Suite 8.0 platform. The Nokia claims the E90 Communicator offers an "uncompromised mobile office experience". Based on the S60 platform, it also features an integrated GPS and Nokia Maps application, an FM radio, a music player, a video player and two cameras - a 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera with flash and a second camera for video conferencing.

Another new handset from Nokia, this time the Nokia 3110 classic, an everyday handset covering all the basics.

According to Nokia, the tri-band phone with 2.2-inch colour display is built for reliability, including details such as a thicker plastic casing and a larger antenna. That doesn't mean it is completely without features, it's just not particularly cutting-edge. What you do get is a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player, FM stereo radio, USB and Bluetooth connectivity.

Nokia has unveiled its 6110 Navigator handset, described as "a navigation-enabled mobile phone designed for the mass market".

The 6110 Navigator offers out-touch routing and navigation, allowing you to view your current location on the map, search for destinations, find specific routes, or locate services such as restaurants, hotels or shops. It features full turn-by-turn 3D navigation, the best route to follow either by car or foot, voice guidance or by using arrows on the screen. A local map is pre-installed on the memory card. Additional maps and content - such as traffic information, weather services and travel guides - can be purchased online.

Research in Motion has launched the BlackBerry 8800 - the first of the company's full QWERTY keyboard devices to feature a trackball design based on the Pearl handset.

The 8800 is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE device with Bluetooth 2.0 and a 320 x 240 display with "vibrant colour" - good enough to view detailed directions on the bundled BlackBerry Maps application, a handy tool that ties in with other applications - find someone in your address book and Maps will show you how to get to them.

Motorola has added two new models to its Q range of smartphones - the q9 and gsm handsets, for HSDPA and GSM networks respectively.

The Q q9 operates on the new Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 platform, along with Motorola's Good Mobile Messaging technology, promising "easy and intuitive" personal and corporate email, calendar access and content management wherever you are. It's slim at just 11.8mm thick and features a 2 megapixel camera with digital zoom, video capture and playback at 30fps, music player, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, up to 2GB of storage via microSD card and of course, HSDPA connectivity for fast data transfers, streaming media and web browsing.

Motorola has launched the MOTORIZR Z8, described as a "fit-to-face" slider and optimised for the entertainment market.

The handset is Motorola's first "kick slider", a new design concept that matches the phone to the contours of your face. On the technical side, there's HSDPA connectivity and 16 million colour 35x50mm QVGA full screen display, with video playback speeds of up to 30 frames per second.

The 3GSM is underway in Barcelona and Motorola has wasted no time in lauching a new range of handsets - the first of which is the MOTOKRZR K3 - a stylish clamshell with HSDPA connectivity.

HSDPA means faster downloads, so faster browsing and potential for over-the-air downloads. The MOTOKRZR K3 also includes two integrated digital cameras - an internal VGA camera for video calls and a 2MP digital camera with 8x digital zoom for snaps. Also comes with USB 2.0 connectivity, 64MB of onboard memory, a microSD slot and stereo Bluetooth wireless technology.

Ashley takes a look at the new Samsung Ultra Mobile PC, the SPH P9000, which features WiMAX, for decent internet speeds regardless of where you are.
