Asus just recently announced their new Windows PDA phone P835. It has a big 3.5″ screen for those YouTube videos, a fast internet connection for instant Facebook status updates and uploading pics and videos you can shoot with the 5MP auto focus camera and 4GB of internal memory for some music.
All that’s great but the A-GPS receiver makes it even better. ASUS however did not release any information about what kind of GPS navigation application would be pre-installed on this. But since the OS is Microsoft Windows® Mobile 6.1™ Professional you can install whatever you want for your navigation needs.

The Samsung S7350 Ultra s is a pretty obvious successor of the Samsung S7330. What sets the two apart is that the new slider has ditched the touchpad. Also, the S7350 Ultra s has a higher-resolution, bigger 2.6″ WQVGA screen, a GPS receiver with Samsung Mobile Navigator (by Route66) and a more modern styling in tone with the latest Samsung lineup. There’s also the 5 megapixel auto focus camera.
The Samsung S7350 Ultra s is easily another Soul offshoot, though the real successor of the U900 Soul is the already announced S8300 UltraTOUCH.
The Samsung C6625 while hasn’t been officially unveiled yet, is up for pre-order on Expansys. The qwerty device use Windows Mobile Standard, so the 2.6 QVGA inch screen is not a touch-screen. Other than that the rest of the specification list seems to include enough features to make this little Samsung a decent offering.
Other than an attractive design, the Samsung C6625 features 3G connectivity (HSPDA 3.6Mbps), a 2 mega-pixels camera, A-GPS, 100MB internal storage, a microSD slot and of course bluetooth and wi-fi.
Officially announced, Samsung Memoir is expected to hit the stores by the end of this month for an unknown price. Samsung T929 is a full touch screen phone with an impressive 8MP digital camera. This camera is even enhanced more with the Xenon flash, 5 different shooting modes, and a 16x digital zoom.
Other features of the Memoir include the virtual QWERTY keypad, multimedia, text, instant messaging, and e-mail. It even can play music and videos. However we’re happy to see the there’s an integrated A-GPS receiver in T929 which can provide certain applications with turn-by-turn directions capability. However we’ll have to wait and see which applications T-Mobile will make available for navigation.
Trying to pip the crowds at mobile phone expo, Mobile World Congress, Toshiba has announced a new phone that promises to “revolutionise the mobile entertainment world”. Saying that it “has listened” to what consumers want, the company has announced the TG01 - a slim 4.1-inch wide VGA touchscreen handset that is 9.9mm thick.
“We’ve taken all the technology from our TVs and put that into the screen”, said the company’s manager for UK and Ireland.
Featuring the new Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, the company says the 1GHz chip will be considerably faster than any device on the market. Users will be able to interact with the device using a virtual trackpad that will appear on screen. Instead of an accelerometer, the phone will use something Toshiba are calling a “G-sensor” that allows you to tilt the phone around a central spot.
Following the success of Helio Ocean, you can now get ready for you Helio Ocean 2. It is expected to go on sale Feb 12th for $150 after a two year contract.
As you’d expect Helio Ocean 2 is slightly slimmer than the original but a big longer. There are a couple of other minor changes such as the material of the keypad and the trimming but that’s all difference you’ll see as far as hardware.
Helio Ocean 2 does have an A-GPS receiver and the Buddy Beacon feature is now standard. Other applications that utilizes the onboard GPS receiver are the Garmin and Google maps that allow you to view maps and get directions. Garmin of course will cost you an extra fee. Anyway it’s also 3G enabled.
