All The Latest Cell Phone, Gadget and Tech News

We weren’t expecting this to happen but that doesn’t mean we’re not anxious to see what handsets these three companies are going to bring us. NEC, Casio and Hitachi are going to work together next year to deliver new mobile devices. The deal will be inked in April 2010 and the new trio will become the second-largest venture in Japan after Sharp. We’d like to tell you we have an idea of what phones to expect from NEC Casio and Hitachi but unfortunately we really don’t. We can only hope to be pleasantly surprised sometime later next year by the first NEC Casio and Hitachi mobile phones.

Verizon is certainly not too happy about the fact that the Pre and the iPhone 3GS are taking all the headlines these days. And I’m not sure if Big Red has anything hot enough to offer its customers. How many Verizon customers will switch to Sprint or AT&T?

Just in case you don’t want to switch carriers you should be aware of the fact that Verizon has a couple of new phones available for you, the Casio Exilim and the Motorola Rival A455.

The Casio Exilim is a phone made for the photographer in you. It comes with a 180-degree rotating display and a 5.1 megapixel although Verizon you should know there are some phones out there capable of taking 8 megapixel pictures which would suit better to passionate photographers. Although this Casio Exilim will come with camera-like features that other phones lack

Here are some of the most important features:

  • 5.1 megapixel auto focus camera with flash, lots of photo related features and video recording
  • 180–degree rotating display
  • optical 3x zoom
  • resistant to water, humidity, salt-fog, shock, vibration, dust, solar radiation, altitude, temperature.
  • bluetooth
  • up to 8GB microSD memory
  • music and video playing capabilities
  • V CAST Music with Rhapsody (Subscription, Wireless and PC Downloads)
  • V CAST Videos
  • GPS
  • 2.3-inch 65K TFT Color

The phone is available right away online and you’ll have to pay for it $279.99 after a $50 instant rebate and with a two-year contract. Hmmm, so you’re telling me that for $199 I could get a new phone with some photo features, bigger screen and lots of apps?

Verizon will launch the new Casio Exilim phone at some time in the future, but until that happens we are left with these leaked photos of the device. A blog from South Korea managed to get them and launch them for everyone to enjoy.

As for specs we already know what the FCC documents say about the device. It will support dual band CDMA, EV-DO Rev. A and Bluetooth connectivity. It will come with a 5.1MP camera, an unconfirmed 3x optical zoom and a WVGA screen. Need more details? We’d like to have an arrival date and a price. Anyone care to leak?

Marking extraordinary leap in display technology, Casio has announced a two-inch display that features 960×540 resolution. What this means is that there are 546 pixels per inch supporting 16.8 million colors. By comparison, those seven-inch portable media players feature 800×480 resolution LCDs.

The Casio display uses a proprietary Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT (HAST) LCD. They are yet to hit mass production, but damn, I can’t wait to see what they can do with four inches!

    Casio has unveiled its newest mobile phone for the Japanese KDDI network — the W61CA waterproof EXILIM mobile phone. The W61CA is a waterproof clamshell type phone boasting a 5.1 megapixel camera using the Casio EXILIM technology. Being waterproof means it’s designed for the people with active lifestyle in mind. And hence, it also features calorie consumption calculation as well as details of elapsed time and distance traveled. As an added bonus, the anime character, “Adelie penguin” is featured on the phone’s standby screen. The Casio W61CA features a 2.7-inch QVGA LCD, a microSD card slot of up to 2GB, high-speed infrared connection, and Japanese-English dictionary among others. The Casio W61CA will come in Mode Green, Couture Gold, Esprit Yellow, and Robe White.

    It’s been almost a year ago when the Casio G’zOne Type S was released and was made available online to Verizon subscribers. Still, Casio has presented the mobile phone in this year’s CES Convention because the Type S is donning new colors! Aside from the classic navy color the original Type S sported, it also comes in matte black and burgundy now. The classic navy is still only available online to Verizon subscribers while the burgundy version is only available in Circuit City. No news on where they’ll sell the matte black version yet. Check out the specs for the Casio G’zOne Type S, if you’ve already forgotten. In a nutshell, it’s a phone built for outdoor usage.
