Dolby has been getting really popular in the mobile market these days, thanks to the company’s tie-up with LG Electronics. The Dolby-powered LG GM200 is your usual boring candybar style phone. There is nothing out of the ordinary as far as the form factor goes.
The LG GM200 shines, though, because you can use its FM Radio without headphones plugged in. The sound is that brilliant. You can also use it with the headset if that is what you prefer. Similar to the Motorola CrystalTalk, the LG GM200 automatically regulates the earpiece volume, depending on ambient noise, a feature that LG probably attributes to its work with Dolby. This phone also offers a 2MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, EDGE and, of course, the envy of one and all around.
PC Mobile (President’s Choice Mobile) has now announced the availability of the LG Rumour (or the LG Rumor as we know it in this part of the world) for the Canadian audience. The LG Rumour is a full QWERTY slider phone that includes a 1.3MP camera, music player and microSD slot for up to 4GB external memory. The user also gets other apps such as contacts manager, calendar, calculator and more.
You can purchase the LG Rumour outright for $99 or add on a Bluetooth headset and vehicle power for $129. Choosing any one add-on gives the new user free unlimited text messaging for two months – the offer is on till April 30th. Visit the PC Mobile Website for more details.
We had brought you a post on the upcoming Opera Mobile 9.7 just a few days back (click here to view original post). Here are a few snapshots and a video of the same, which will be unveiled officially at the CTIA Wireless 2009 next week. The new version will include Opera Turbo, the company’s latest Presto 2.2 rendering engine and support for dynamic Web technologies such as Flash and Ajax.
If you have always admired the Samsung Beat DJ but been scared off by its high price tag, take heart, because the company has now come up with two new phones, the M2310 and the M2710. Both these cellphones ape the Beat DJ’s style, but adopt a flip and slider forms respectively. Samsung has not officially announced either of the phones, but they are already starting to show up in Brazil with EDGE, FM radio and Bluetooth.
The Samsung M2710 also has an accelerometer and 2MP camera. Nothing has been known yet about the pricing and availability of the phones. Sigh, that means, we will just have to wait impatiently for the official news to surface.
