Sony Ericsson R306i

Looking like a high tech screen smacked into an analogue radio, SE has designed a radio with a built-in phone. Placed horizontally on a table, the R306 not only looks like a radio - it sounds the part too. It has a 5MB built-in memory, 1.3MP camera, WAP2 XHTML and bluetooth.

Nokia N96

All these new phones reminded me of the first generation Ericsson 256 colour phones…

The Nokia N96 builds on the success of N95. A large 2.8″ screen, 16 GB of internal memory and supports common video formats including MPEG-4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video. High-speed USB 2.0 connection and WLAN and HSDPA support. DVB-H receiver offers live broadcast TV with an automatically updating program guide and built-in 3D stereo speakers.
N96 can even be further expanded with an optional microSD card which increases the memory up to 24 GB.

5 MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and video light. It allows DVD-like quality video capture at 30 frames per second and integrated A-GPS to ‘geotag’ your pictures with location data and share them in online communities.
