HTC Touch Pro2

*sniff* I have tears in my eyes. Looks like HTC finally listened and has built my dream phone—or something close to it: the HTC Touch Pro2. I really liked the first generation HTC Touch Pro but the inadequate screen size just didn't do it for me. However, the new HTC Touch Pro2 features a whopping 3.6 inch widescreen display, now that's enough screen size for me.DesignTaking a page from the design of the HTC TyTN II, the HTC Touch Pro2 offers a slide-out QWERTY keyboard with a tilting screen, but what's great about the screen is that you can tilt it manually at any angle you choose. One of the things that turned me off with the previous HTC Touch Pro was its bulkiness. Up front, it looks good but turned sideways, it looks and feels heavy. HTC was only able to slightly address that design issue with the HTC Touch Pro2 since it's now only 17.3mm, it's still thick and I wish they were able to squeeze the thickness of the device so it would be as thin as the Nokia N97.

Sony Ericsson unveils T700, a modern day T610

After taking some heat from the industry press over the past few days, Sony Ericsson is probably quite relieved to announce the T700, a phone with very obvious ties to the Sony Ericsson T610, a handset from 5 years back that was one of the company’s most popular ever. The T700 is a fairly straightforward mid-level handset that offers most of the features people are shopping for these days - without going over the top with them.
In terms of music abilities, the T700 comes equipped with a music player and Bluetooth stereo wireless headphone support. On top of that, the phone also has its own built-in stereo speakers on-board and ships with a color matched wired stereo headset in the box. The music player supports album art and Sony’s MegaBass feature, and the T700 also features Sony Ericsson’s TrackID software for identifying unknown songs heard nearby.
Other features of this T610 inspired handset include a 3.2 megapixel camera, an FM radio, and support for 3D gaming. An included USB cable lets you hook the T700 up to a personal computer in mass storage mode for easy drag and dropping of files, too. The T700 also offers great support for email that includes the typical POP/IMAP support as well as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.

The Great Wrap-Around Disposable Phone

Phones are becoming more and more part of our modern lives. There are no two ways about it, you need one. However, there is one trend that is really good to know. It's the trend of disposable cell phones, which are becoming quite popular. They enable people to use cell phones without having to pay hundreds of dollars for handsets, a situation that is really useful here as well as in developing countries. Pre-paid credit in cell phones is used to transfer money and a whole lot of other things in developing countries, which is pretty cool when you consider that the air time is traded, not money itself.

Key2SafeDriving Disables Teens' Cell Phone While Driving

Those of us who can still remember being a teenager, or still are one, will likely admit that they didn't always follow every rule of the road. Unfortunately, studies have shown that teenagers are up to twice as likely to crash as adults, and modern technologies like cell phones are only increasing those risks. The rising trend of talking and texting on cell phones while driving, as well as studies showing those activities to be akin to driving drunk in terms of driver concentration, have parents worried, but there may be relief on the horizon. Engineers at the University of Utah have developed a device that jams cell phones and prevents them from making or receiving calls or text messages while the driving.
Called the "Key2SafeDriving," the Bluetooth device is fitted to the ignition key and wirelessly jams the driver's cell phone. The device is activated when the key is extended from the fob and it links with the driver's cell phone. So long as the key is extended from the fob, the linked cell phone will remain in "Driving Mode" and will be essentially inoperable, displaying a Stop Sign on the screen. Each driver will have their own fob linked to their personal cell phone, so the device will not affect passenger's phones. The device also sends a text message to a parent's phone alerting them when a teen tries to text while their phone is in driving mode. If someone calls a phone while it's in driving mode, they receive a text message telling them that the owner is driving and will call them back later. In the event of an emergency, the phone emits a distinct ringtone to alert the driver so they can pull over and take the call. Adult drivers using the system can set it to work with a Bluetooth headset so they can still make and receive calls, but not text. The inventors hope that the device will condition teens to leave their phones alone while driving so they never make a habit out of texting or calling while driving in the first place. The technology has already been licensed to a private company which is marketing it to cell phone manufacturers in hopes of creating a standardized system. The hope is to make the technology available through cell providers in the future. Combined with other technologies like Ford's MyKey, which can limit the vehicle's top speed and radio volume, parents will be able to breathe a little easier while their teens are behind the wheel.
