SK Telecom Announces Its New ‘Home’ Key Technology For Samsung SCH-W600

SK Telecom today released its new touch screen ‘Home’ mobile phone feature, with a view to providing users with a better user phone interface, one that feels like working with an actual desktop or laptop PC. The unique ‘Home’ screen technology on a mobile phone that lets you access a variety of menu functions with just one touch. The Home button thus helps you navigate easily through all your phone features. Mobile phone manufacturers have always faced the challenge of letting you go through all your mobile phone’s features at a glance. SK Telecom’s new introduction helps you with that and more.

The new Home screen technology lets you access the Internet easily through your mobile phone. Pressing the ‘Home’ key brings on all the feature icons, which you can easily add, edit or move as per your preference. You can also store your most visited pages in the ‘Favorites’ category, so your web browsing experience is made faster and more efficient. Starting with the SCH-W600 WVGA mobile phone, SK Telecom plans to introduce 10 more kinds of ‘Home’ key phones in the coming year.

Vertu Displays Its Latest Signature Dragon At The Wynn, Las Vegas

Oh, heck, Vertu has gone ahead and done it yet again! There is hardly anyone who has not heard of The Wynn hotel along the famous Strip at Las Vegas. This posh hotel is known to house some of the most high-end lifestyle shops within its gigantic complex. One of these shops, houses a Vertu store, a company that is known to manufacture limited edition, luxury mobile phones. There is, of course, no problem with that. The problem is with Vertu displaying its latest luxury handset, the ‘Vertu Signature Dragon’, in that very store. And you know what else? The Vertu Signature Dragon does not even feature on the company’s website yet.

Strikingly similar to the Vertu Signature Cobra, this Dragon thingy looks more crass than class. (Remember the Vertu Boucheron 150? If you thought it was “ugh”, we do not know what you will say to this one). It would have been great to see some ‘special effects’ on the dragon at least, like the eyes glowing during an incoming SMS or call. Sadly, there is nothing of this sort.

An effigy of a dragon, which adorns one L-shaped corner of the phone, is completely covered with precious jewels, so this phone definitely is not coming cheap. Anyway, do take a sneak peek right here and tell us what you think of the latest Vertu Signature Dragon.
