puma-phone

Puma is better known as a sportswear maker, but this time it’s teamed up with Sagem to produce a solar-powered smartphone known only as the Puma Phone.

This is pretty unexpected news, considering there haven’t been any announcements leading up to this moment. At first glance, the Puma Phone has a pretty interesting design, with a large touchscreen and a solar panel on the backside, that allows you to recharge the device when you don’t have where to plug it in.

Conceived by Sagem, the surprising handheld features a 2.8 inch QVGA TFT capacitive panel, a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and 6x digital zoom, GPS and A-GPS, a secondary VGA front camera and a compass.

SAMFI-card

Sagem Orga partnered with Telefonica to create the world’s first SIM card with integrated WIFI, and guess what, they actually pulled it off.

You’re probably having a ‘how did they do it?’ moment right now. Well I can tell you what they did, but not how they did it. According to their press release, the SIMFI can replace ordinary SIM cards, but features an embedded WLAN modem that provides HSPA internet access for any WIFI compatible devices. That means laptops, netbooks, notebooks and whatever else you can think of.

January 27th, 2010 Gadget Freak

Sharp-Solar-Hybrid-SH6230C

As the Japanese mobile market continues to shrink, Sharp, the largest cell-phone manufacturer in the Land of the Rising Sun, decided it’s time to expand beyond national borders.

During the last fiscal year, Sharp sold only 1.6 million mobile phones outside Japan. That’s only 20% of its production, and management ruled it’s time to take their business global. Their first major move is to market their Solar Hybrid SH6230C mobile phone in China. The first Sharp solar-powered phone to be marketed outside Nippon comes with a solar cell module, 2.9 inch LCD display and a 5 megapixel camera.

Cheaper 16 Gb Nokia X6 to Hit the Market

January 26th, 2010 Gadget Freak

Nokia-X6-Mobile

Nokia probably realized its 32 Gb X6 smartphone was a little to expensive for most and launched a more affordable version of its handheld.

Launched in November of 2009, the 32 Gb Nokia X6 had a price tag of $676 and that didn’t really convince people to line up and buy it. So the Finnish giant came up with a cheaper, 16 Gb version of the X6.

Featuring the same 3.2 inch touchscreen as its 32 Gb twin, runs Symbian and comes in the same color variants: black, white, white with pink, and white with yellow. It doesn’t include the Nokia music service, but you can probably overlook that.

The 16 Gb Nokia X6 includes a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and promises 18 days of stand-by time and 11.5 hours of continuous talk time. It also comes with the OVI maps navigation system and preinstalled games like Spore and Asphalt 4. (more…)

See-Through Display Mobile Phone Concept

December 7th, 2009 alexG

We see many concepts today, but i think this concept deserves a little bit of attention. Juan Carlos Garzon came with the idea of a mobile phone concept which features a see-through display. The display has a touch-screen interface and, on the back, a 5 MP camera for high resolution stills. The see-through display uses LED technology so the screen is clearly visible both day and night.

Solar Powered Phone Concept

December 3rd, 2009 alexG

The idea of this concept is very simple : you can now go to the window to recharge your phone’s battery and not just for better signal reception. The phone has a solar panel on the back and you can stick it to the window in order to absorb solar power, which will recharge the battery.

Now, all you have to do is to hope that there will be no clouds on the sky.
