4fix

 

iPhone 4owners will be able to snatch a free invisibleSHIELD 4fix (valued at $9.99 or so) from their local Best Buy. Based on a number of tips that we've received, we're getting the impression that the yellow tagged retailer could be handing out (and installing) completely free side coverings for any iPhone 4 owner that waltzes into a store, presumably as a proactive measure to fend off returns or to upsell consumers on an entire invisibleSHIELD separate case. Nothing about this notice makes clear that you actually have to buy your iPhone 4 from Best Buy in order to take advantage, but we probably wouldn't waste a lunch break giving this a go without a verbal confirmation from your local store manager.

Three of Nokia's latest messaging phones – Nokia C3, Nokia C6 and Nokia E5 – are coming soon to the US, as they've appeared at the Nokia US online store.

The handsets are featured on the pre-order webpage, although none of them can be pre-ordered at the moment.

Unsurprisingly, the cheapest of them is the S40 Nokia C3, which will be sold for only $129. The Nokia E5 is $259, while the C6 will be more expensive: $309. All phones come unlocked.

Nokia doesn’t say when exactly the handsets will be available for purchase, but it shouldn’t take long now. So, anyone over in the US willing to buy any of these QWERTY-equipped Nokias?

Pricing details have been released about two Android powered Dell phones the Dell Aero and the tablet wannabe Dell Streak. Aero builds on the Dell Mini 3i while the Streak is trying to carve out a whole new niche of voice call capable mini tablets.

The Dell Aero was announced officially in late April but we knew it's coming to AT&T even before that. Yet it took more than three months for pricing details to appear - SIM-free, the Dell Aero will set you back 299 US dollars or if you sign a 2 year contract with AT&T it will go for 99 bucks.

The Aero is a mid-ranger that updates Dell's first try at Android - the Dell Mini 3i. It features a 3.5" screen with nHD resolution (quite uncommon for Android), 5MP camera, Wi-Fi and GPS. The OS version is 1.5 Cupcake right now, though Dell will update that some time in the future.

The other phone, the Dell Streak is an absolute pocket buster. It's got a 5" screen with WVGA resolution and 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. It boasts 16GB of storage expandable via microSD card and it too is stuck with an old Android - 1.6 Donut. Dell have said that there's a 2.2 Froyo update coming.

The Dell Streak is understandably pricier than the Aero - 550 US dollars without a contract or 299 dollars with an AT&T contract. Anyway, that's cheaper than the UK price of 429 pounds (670 USD).


A slip by the Ovi-supporting team today revealed a new touch-driven Nokia handset that is in the works. Nokia 5250 appeared on the company's application store website, flaunting a fresh new design, but unfortunately the handset is running on the good old Symbian S60 5th edition OS. Those of you hoping for an Symbian^3 device in the low-end segment are sadly out of luck.

Nokia 5250

The handset is obviously the next member of Nokia's family of lower midrange touchscreen phones and comes to replace the pretty popular Nokia 5230. There is not much specs about the Nokia 5250 that we can confirm. Perhaps an nHD screen measuring somewhere around 3 inches in diagonal certainly isn't a wild guess. 3G and GPS are on the cards as well but the rest is pure guesswork.

This February Nokia promised to deliver 100 euro touch smartphones and we have yet to see those. Could the Nokia 5250 be the first to go near that psychological barrier? In any case with the Nokia 5250 appearing on the Ovi store page it's clear that its announcement is fast approaching so we won't have to wait too long to find out.

Thankfully we now have someone that has bothered to collect phones with all existing retail screen technologies, and put them to a real life test. Users might be starting to get confused from all these "vibrant colors" and "stunning resolutions" everybody is promising, so have a look and maybe the video will help you decide which one is for you.

Hopefully the guy will find a way to review visibility under direct sunlight as well, for indoor test the results are not surprising. The two “Super” displays – SAMOLED and SLCD beat the mere AMOLED and LCD in all aspects that matter. The AMOLED's main drawback seems to be that you can't get them, but on the other hand, in the future, you will bend them.
