Surfing the web, watching movies or playing a video game, the battery would runs out so quickly that disappoints everyone.And they hope to get the turn-by-turn directions such as a true GPS unit and without monthly payments.

Apple involved the dispute between  AT&T and Verizon about 3G coverage because of two ads that defended its U.S. mobile partner.
Both ads focus on the iPhone’s ability to allow you to use voice and data capabilities simultaneously over the AT&T network. By asking gently at the end of each spot “Can your phone and your network do that?” Apple is bursting what it sees as the inflated stealth bombing that accompanied the launch of the Droid.

The recent release of AT&T Quickfire phone is causing a stir among mobile phone enthusiasts. It is the first mobile gadget launched that is specialized in text messaging. Let’s take a look at some of the features that are getting fans excited.

Qwerty keyboard.

The keypad on traditional mobile phones is small. As a result, text input is cumbersome and slow. It is also very difficult to key in commands or type text messages quickly. With the in-built Qwerty keyboard, the user can now input whatever they want into the gadget in just seconds.

Touch screen display.

In addition to the Qwerty keyboard, the Quickfire phone also has a touch screen display that will help with navigation. Choosing options from the icon menu has never been easier. No more scrolling up and down with arrow keys.

High speed 3G HSDPA networks.

Mounted on AT&T’s own high speed 3G HSDPA networks, the Quickfire phone is able to download data at great speeds. This is the backbone of the Quickfire mobile phone. Without a high speed connection, other features would be useless.

Music and video content download.

Using the Quickfire phone, users can download music directly from Napster mobile or eMusic mobile. Video content can also be downloaded from HBO mobile or ESPN. Such downloads are only possible with a high speed connection.

AT&T navigator.

The AT&T navigator is a useful feature, and is an alternative to GPS navigation systems. This feature provides useful information on traffic as well as directions. Directions can be provided by voice, so there is no need to hold on to the gadget while traveling. Maps and directions will be prominently displayed in graphical representations on the screen.

Physical appearance.

The Quickfire mobile phone comes in a shiny silver casing. At first glance, it looks very much like an ordinary smartphone. However, the screen can slide away, revealing a Qwerty keyboard in its interior.

Overall, the Quickfire phone looks simple and lightweight. It is not loaded with hefty features. Even the in-built camera is a lightweight one, offering just 1.3 megapixels. This makes the phone just good enough to take casual pictures, and it’s definitely not ready to replace a full featured digital camera.

However, it is rather amazing to see the number of features that have been packed into this mobile gadget. Traditionally, mobile phones can only be used for simple text messaging and viewing pictures or videos on a tiny screen. With the Quickfire phone, all that is about to change. Users can now use the phone to type and send lengthy text messages, download music, and enjoy full length videos on a much larger screen.

This looks like a gadget that will be most suitable for business executives who may need some basic communication features, but are not ready to fork out a hefty price for higher end gadgets. It even comes free if you are buying with a new service plan!

Nokia has announced a new Series 40 cellphone – 6260 slide. It’s a really slick looking phone and I’m a big fan of sliders as opposed to the clamshell or flip phone style.

The Nokia 6260 supports the most common communication standards, like WCDMA, and GSM/EDGE. The user interface is the popular S40, and the 2.4-inch LCD display provides a 320×480 HVGA resolution. Much like any other Nokia handset, it has audio playback compatible with a few formats including MP3, AACC, MPEG4, and WMA. FM radio is also included, as well as a 5-megapixel camera that records videos at 15 frames per second.

There is, however, one downside to the Nokia 6260 slider that could be helped. While not everyone necessarily needs a keyboard in their smartphone, a touchscreen would make the device’s web-surfing experience so much better.

All in all, it looks like a great phone for the mobile shutterbug to snap pictures and share them with friends from their mobile device.
