Sony Ericsson К770

Cyber-shot branded phones have been keeping us busy lately. Just as we gave you the 5-megapixel K850, the exciting new recruit Sony Ericsson K770 is on hand. Now, if K850 is the new star on the Cyber-shot team, the Sony Ericsson K770 is the right reinforcement in the midfield. New launches are not always about stunning upgrades in functionality. Design and ease of use are equally important, especially if trying to cater to different tastes and budgets. Slick and refined, the K770 easily stands out in the Cyber-shot crowd. The new phone is an attempt to build upon the design of Sony Ericsson T650. Sony Ericsson K770 packs the good old stuff - 3G, TFT display with QVGA resolution, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, MP3/MPEG4 player, good 3-megapixel camera. All that with the neat elegance of a bar-shaped handset measuring 14.5 mm in thickness. How good it is in practice is namely our game, so bear with us as we explore the new Cyber-shot contender.

HTC Touch Slide and S730 surface earlier

With only two days left until the official HTC announcement the first pictures of the new additions to the company mobile phone portfolio leaked on the internet. The pictures of two new models are posted on the Superior Gadgets News website and they seem quite interesting indeed.
HTC S730 is equipped with a much better looking QWERTY keyboard compared to its predecessor HTC S710. The successor model is very similar to HTC S710 in terms of looks and as it seems it will include all its features plus a few nice upgrades. The display remains 65 K color one with QVGA resolution and wireless functionality is kept too. The available RAM memory also remains unchanged at 64MB but the flash memory is doubled in size and is now as large as 256MB. However the greatest improvement made is the CPU - the TI OMAP 850 200 MHz processor is replaced with a far more powerful Qualcomm 7200 with working frequency of 400 MHz. The final feature added to HTC S730 in comparison to the S710 is the 3G support.
