The Commuter, a short film is being shot entirely on the new Nokia N8, in the UK.  Shooting commenced recently with stars who appeared in the Slumdog Millionaire and Avatar movies, and the Gossip Girl TV series.  

Pamela Anderson is making an appearance as well. It would be most interesting to see the results and at least we now have another smartphone which can be used to shoot short films and commercials, apart from that other unmentionable fruity phone

BlackBerry PlayBook!!

blogged by GmyDotCom

The latest toy from Toys R’ Us or Mattel.  It’s actually the tablet computer from RIM, makers of the iconic Blackberry smartphones.  It used to be called the Blackpad by the media, which I thought was a rather silly name for a device.  It does not run the Blackberry OS.  Instead, the PlayBook runs an operating system called QNX (now renamed “BlackBerry Tablet OS“), which is Linux based.  QNX was purchased by RIM, presumably specifically for the purpose of developing this tablet.

HTC Fast Boot!!

blogged by GmyDotCom

There is a new feature that comes with the newly announced HTC Desire HD and Desire Z – something HTC calls Fast Boot.  This is where you switch off the device completely, and then turn it back on.  Android phones normally would go through the entire boot sequence, and it may take a minute or a few, depending on brand and model, until the phone is actually usable.

Fast Boot stores the system state in RAM, so that when the user switches on the phone again, it boots up really quickly – something like hibernation mode in Windows.  See view below.  Source.

Windows Phone 7 Launching On 21 October?

The neowin website, which got its hands on some documentation that purportedly confirms the launch dates, further says that we will see Windows Phone 7 handsets on shelves in the UK, France, Germany Italy and Spain, with the US still unconfirmed.

Meanwhile, there were also two leaked videos of Windows Phone 7 running on the HTC Mondrian (likely to be called something else outside of the US), which has since been pulled, but not before someone downloaded them and re-uploaded them to YouTube!

KUALA LUMPUR, 21 SEPTEMBER 2010 – Celcom Axiata Berhad [formerly known as Celcom (Malaysia) Berhad] will introduce the micro SIM in October at all Celcom branches and selected Blue Cube centres. Devices in the market that currently use the micro SIM are the iPhone 4 and the iPad 3G.

“With the arrival of devices that utilise a micro SIM, we want to ensure that our customers have the best possible user experience, whatever device they may be using,” said Dato’ Sri Shazalli Ramly, Celcom’s Chief Executive Officer. “We do not want anyone to miss out on enjoying all the advantages of Malaysia’s no.1 mobile broadband network,” he added.

Starting from 1 October, Celcom customers will be able to walk into any Celcom branch and selected Blue Cube outlets and exchange their standard SIM card with a micro SIM for a nominal fee of RM10. Customers subscribing to a new mobile broadband plan can also select a micro SIM instead of the standard SIM.

Apple iPad Price In Malaysia!!Cool!!

•  Operating System: iPhone OS 3.2
•  Storage: 16GB, 32GB or 64GB flash drive
•  Size: 9.56 (H) x 7.47 (W) x 0.5 (D) inch
•  Weight: 1.5 pounds (680 gram) for iPad WiFi, 1.6 pounds (730 gram) for iPad 3G

Fear not if you own an iPhone but am afraid to pay for the same apps again on iPad, you can simply sync it & your iPad will get the same apps as those on your iPhone. All apps will be resized automatically to fit your screen. 

How About Apple iPad Price In Malaysia?

The iPad ships worldwide in 60 days, but only in Wi-Fi versions. The 3G version will be another 30 days after that. Here are the prices:

Without 3G:

• $499: 16GB (RM1714)
• $599: 32GB (RM2057)
• $699: 64GB (RM2400)

With 3G:

• $629: 16GB (RM2160)
• $729: 32GB (RM2500)
• $829: 64GB (RM2848)

Apple will ship all the iPads in 60 days—the end of March—to America, and just the Wi-Fi models internationally. It’ll be another 30 days beyond that for 3G models to be available outside our shores; Apple says they’re still working on carrier deals.

 

Maxis Launches Blackberry Curve 3G 9300 Plan!!

blogged by GmyDotCom

And it’s available in either prepaid or postpaid plans.  For prepaid, the deal is pay RM 1,479, and get the phone (RRP = RM 1,299) plus 6 months of the prepaid Blackberry internet service (BIS). The 6 months of BIS service is supposedly worth RM 660 (=(RM 1,479 – 1,299) + RM 480), or RM 110 per month.  I honestly do not know what plan this is, to tell you the truth – it doesn’t jive with anything on the Hotlink prepaid BIS packages page.

For the postpaid option, you pay RM 1,659 (RM 1,299 for the phone, plus RM 360 for 12 months of the BIS Advanced plan which normally costs RM 120 monthly), so you save RM 1,080 by paying for the phone and 12 months service up-front.

DiGi Smartplan with HTC Aria!! New!!

blogged by GmyDotCom

It's sort of hard to believe, but AT&T finally has an Android phone worth paying attention to. Mind you, the AT&T compatible Nexus One is easily the best Googlephone on America's largest GSM operator, but this is the first one that the company has bothered to brand and sell on a subsidized plan within its own stores. Pundits could argue the reasons why forever, but considering that the carrier's doing all it can just to keep up with the demand for iPhones, it's hard to imagine that AT&T has been longing to pursue Android with reckless abandon. 

Believe it or not, it's been over 1.5 years since T-Mobile gave the world the first taste of a mobile OS that would soon rival (and surpass) the other options already on the table, but outside of the forgettable Backflip (and the nowhere-to-be-found Aero), there's been no Android to speak of on AT&T. HTC has somehow managed to break down the blue and orange walls, piercing the heart of a hardened operator and squeezing a delightful mid-range Android smartphone into a lineup that's about to be monumentally overshadowed by the iPhone 4. 

So look, it's pretty obvious at first blush -- this is essentially an Android-infused HD Mini with a few chrome accents, a yellow interior (that no one will ever see, sadly) and a reworked button panel. While we certainly appreciated the HD Mini back at Mobile World Congress, we're going to hand the overall design award to the Aria; the silver faux screws on the rear, power strip at the top and volume rocker on the side are pure class, and the vivacious innards tickle us far more than they truly should. In a world where it's practically guaranteed that the next great smartphone will also be the most humongous smartphone, it's actually a breath of fresh air to see someone going in the opposite direction. 

Measuring 4.1- x 2.3- x 0.46-inches and weighing 3.8 ounces with the 1,200mAh battery installed, the phone is light and tight in every respect. We also adore the matte black rear that both rejects fingerprints and slides easy in and out of the average denim pocket. We will say, however, that the über-glossy display (a 480 x 320 resolution capacitive touchpanel) was a tad too glossy when taken outside, and even with the brightness jacked, we had to squint to make out text when perusing Twitter updates under the blazing North Carolina sun. 

We've also got mixed feelings about the button layout beneath the LCD; the optical trackpad works well enough (though we'll confess to missing the tactility of a trackball), but the capacitive buttons just don't do it for us. We're huge fans of feeling buttons depress, even if it's subtle, and we instantly wished that the home, menu, back and search buttons were more like those found on Huawei's S7. The haptic feedback definitely helps in letting you know if your input has been recognized, but we'd still prefer physical keys for easier use when not looking directly down at the handset. 

For starters, we're huge fans of the HTC-built Sense overlay on top of Android 2.1. Having seven home panels (as opposed to five), a dedicated phone button at the bottom and an array of gorgeous widgets to choose from are real boons, and it's easy to miss these little things when using a stock Android build. By and large, we were shocked -- shocked -- by how quickly this phone hummed along. Given that Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon was nowhere to be found (the Aria is outfitted with a 600MHz MSM 7227 alongside 512MB of ROM and 384MB of RAM), we didn't expect much on the speed front. Talk about having expectations shattered. 

Even with a host of apps running in the background and home screens loaded with apps, we never experienced any notable lag when going from screen to screen or app to app. We were continuously impressed with how quickly the screen recognized our swipes, and it's safe to say that you're getting every last ounce of power from this 600MHz power plant. We even dialed up a few YouTube HQ videos over 3G while having a smattering of apps open in the background in an attempt to slow it down -- needless to say, our experiment failed in spectacular fashion.

HTC Legend Offer with DiGi Plan!!

blogged by GmyDotCom

That was pretty much the crux of our first impressions of HTC's latest Android-based smartphone, the Legend. With a chassis carved from a single piece of aluminium, with a beautiful sandblasted finish, this is one stunning looking device. As Gordon rightly pointed out at the World Mobile Congress, the Legend looks and feels somewhere between the first generation iPhone and the new unibody aluminium Macbooks, and we mean that in every possible good way. 

However, there are a few immediate problems. First, contrary to what you might expect, matt aluminium like this still scratches fairly easily (though less so than plastic) and over time can be polished to a shine on exposed edges and corners. As such we'd be inclined to keep the Legend in some sort of case – I'm a big fan of the leather slip, like this one I use with my iPhone – that protects the phone when in transit but doesn't hide its design or inhibit its functionality when in use. However, due to the Legend's jutting jaw profile such cases can't be used. Aesthetically, we don't mind it and we appreciate it's a design feature that harks back to the first Android phone, the G1, and this phone's direct predecessor, the HTC Hero, but on a practical level we think it's something that needs to go. 

On a more positive note, the power button on the top, volume rocker on the left edge, and central circular select button all feel very solid in terms of fit and have a superbly light yet defined action. The new optical trackball (the sensor for which sits in the middle of the central button) also looks great and works well. However, we still think that such things are largely unneeded on touchscreen phones – pin-pointing a cursor in text is about the only task we regularly used it for. Sadly it isn't a clean sweep when it comes to button quality, with the four black ones under the screen being a little wobbly, and sometimes leaving you unsure if you've pressed them properly. We also maintain that Android phones simply have too many buttons – all three of the Menu, Back, and Search buttons can easily be replicated in software without any loss of functionality.  

There are no alarm bells when it comes to connectivity, though, as the Legend sports a conventional 3.5mm headphone jack on its top and a micro-USB socket on the bottom for connecting to a PC and charging the phone. There's also a microSD slot hidden under the bottom, black-coloured section on the back of the phone, so getting files on and off the phone is a cinch. This plastic section also pulls away to reveal the battery (Apple take note) and SIM slot. It's a beautiful mechanism, but it's a bit of a pain to power down the Legend to remove the microSD card.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Smartphone!! Coming Soon on DiGi!!

blogged by GmyDotCom

It comes with the new BlackBerry 6 operating system and there is a lot to be excited about. BlackBerry 6 has something for everyone and personally, I am particularly enjoying the new universal search and auto-wrap text zoom features.

With the new BlackBerry Torch smartphone, we also believe our hardware team has delivered the best combined touch-qwerty experience available, seamlessly incorporating our signature BlackBerry keyboard and precision trackpad in a striking design that simply feels great in your hand. One of the things I love the most about the BlackBerry Torch design is the way it allows me to easily transition between using the touch screen, trackpad and keyboard interfaces. I can switch between them and interact with the handset and applications in a very natural way.

The BlackBerry Torch is also the first BlackBerry smartphone to ship with our new web browser and we invested a substantial amount of time and effort to engineer a WebKit-based browser that can operate quickly, beautifully and efficiently. In fact, Peter Rysavy today released a new study reporting on the efficiency of the BlackBerry 6 Browser with respect to data usage. We continue to believe that efficiency is an important advantage for our customers and an imperative for the wireless industry.
