Thank you, Samsung, for confirming Nexus Prime

Samsung legal department has sent a Cease and Desist letter to a person claiming it is in possession of leaked Nexus Prime firmware. The Korean manufacturer wants it back, because it's obviously an exclusive Samsung property and not to be released to the public.

Yes, that's the confirmation you've been looking for - the third Google phone - Nexus Prime - will be once again made by Samsung.
According to the rumors, it will sport 4.5" new generation Super AMOLED screen and might be based on Samsung's Exynos SoC with a powerful 1.5GHz dual-core processor.
Google Nexus Prime is supposedly the first droid running on Ice Cream Sandwich and as the rumor has it, it might get an October release. We expect even more leaks as we get closer to the official announcement.

Iphone 5 Review

Are you as excited about the release of the new iPhone 5 as I am? Probably not, because I'm the one writing this hub and you're the one reading it (hopefully). I hate to admit it but somehow I've managed to become one of those Apple fangirls that you see walk into the Apple store and spend 30 minutes asking the employees all sorts of uber geek questions.

For one reason or another I've taken it upon myself to find out as much as possible about the new iPhone 5 so that I could spread this knowledge. What do I get out of it? The benefit of knowing I'm helping rid the world of lesser non-Apple phones (*cough HTC Evo cough*).

As if the iPhone 4 wasn't groundbreaking enough, the iPhone 5 is going to revolutionize the world of cell phones. Here's why:

One of the biggest benefits of owning a new iPhone 5 is that it'll come with dual core processors that will make it load at super fast speeds. Not only that, but it will be incorporating even more powerful graphics chip cards, which will provide you with better video and still images. As if the 20 gigawatt gazillion megapixel already in the iPhone 4 wasn't enough...

Right now it looks like the new iPhone 5 will be running on a 4G network (instead of the usual 3G). That means that some of the most likely network carriers to get a plan under are Sprint, T-Mobile, and maybe AT&T and Verizon. But we've all heard a lot of complaints about AT&T's network in the past, so I'm not sure how many people would opt to go with them for the new iPhone.

In fact, one of the reasons behind the increase in Jailbreaks of the iPhone 4 was that AT&T's network had way too many problems with it. Rather than deal with AT&T a lot of people ended up jailbreaking their phones instead, a fair deal considering you can get free ringtones, themes, and apps when you jailbreak your phone.

Also, anyone who says Android based cell phones are going to be able to compete with the new iPhone 5 are completely delirious. They won't even come close to the capabilities offered by the new iPhone when it comes out.

If you're thinking about buying the iPhone 4, you'll be better off waiting for the iPhone 5 instead, as it should be coming out really soon this year. Here are some of the expected features:

• The new iPhone 5 is expected to have Face Recognition Security so that you don't have to worry about other people stealing your phone and trying to use it... That is, unless they steal your face too. (Anyone seen Face Off?)
• Video Chat on a 4G network instead of a slow 3G one
• Much nicer overall body design of the phone. It's going to be even thinner and have a shiny black piece.
• Shatter Resistant and Scratch Resistant Screen
• The lowest model will come with 32G of space and 64G of memory. I'll be able to store my whole computer on the lowest model of the iPhone 5. Yippeee for me.
• Longer Battery Life - Up to 14 Hours of Talk Time On The 3G and 7 Hours on the 4G. With 14 hours of talking to my girlfriends, I'm only going to have 10 hours to sleep =(
• HD Audio - The quality of sound is going to be extra crisp.
• Built In GPS - You'll never get lost or have to download one of those stupid GPS apps.

How much will the new iPhone 5 cost? I can't speculate on that, but I'm going to assume it'll run you over $500. It's definitely going to be worth it though, and I can't wait for it to come out.

Nokia 100 and 101 Dual Sim Phones

Launch of some powerful new smartphones. But in many parts of the world, phones like those remain science fiction. In large parts of Africa and Asia, in particular, many face the reality of expensive data rates, the uncertainty of being able to connect to a reliable power source and low incomes. For the ‘next billion’ mobile users, a reliable, inexpensive, regular phone is a lot more relevant. That’s the reason we’re launching the Nokia 101 and Nokia 100 today.

The Nokia 101 and 100 are low-cost phones based on the Series 30 operating system. The difference between the two is that the Nokia 101 supports dual-SIM and has an MP3 player. Designed with the fact in mind that these phones are often shared between families, they can support up to five separate address books and store personalisation details for up to five different SIM cards.

The display has a grid-based system of icons – we also need the phones to be usable by people who haven’t had the opportunity to learn to read. There’s an integrated flashlight – a handy addition for most of us, but extremely valuable if you live somewhere where’s there’s only power for a few hours a day. For the same reason, the battery life is extremely good compared to what you might have learned to expect from using a smartphone. These phones can last up to 25 days on standby, or 6.7 hours talktime.

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t versatile or useful. They come with an FM radio and – on the Nokia 101 – an MP3 player with a headset included in the box. There’s also support for memory cards up to 16GB on the Nokia 101, allowing thousands of songs to be stored. In addition, there are preloaded games and a 3.5mm AV connector so owners can connect the device to better speakers, for example.

In selected markets, these phones will also be offered with Nokia Life Tools, allowing the delivery of market information, weather forecasts, health advice, language tuition and entertainment news to an on-board app using specially created SMS messages.

The Nokia 101 and 100 go on sale from this quarter (Nokia 101) and next (Nokia 100) in selected markets. Without local taxes or operator subsidies they’ll cost around €25 for the Nokia 101 and about €20 for the Nokia 100. 

HTC Bliss

The current Rumor Land resident - the HTC Bliss has come out of the closet for a couple of new snapshots in the wild. This is the first time we get to see the device sporting a blur-free real-life look following the previous leak but we can only see the hardware exterior and none of that Sense 3.5 UI we're so hoping to check out.

The Bliss was previously only seen on blurry spy shots and on a mock up but we do have an idea what punch it will pack under its hood. It will have a single Qualcomm MSM7x30 800MHz processor with the Adreno 205 GPU and Android Gingerbread 2.3. The display was of unknown resolution and size but judging by the side-to-side picture with the Desire S we can safely assume it has the same 3.7-incher at the front. The resolution might be HVGA or WVGA.

As for the HTC Sense UI 3.5 we're itching to find out more. We could get a taste of it soon when one of HTC's events kicks in on September 1st in London.

The HTC Bliss is rumored to be a female-oriented device although it doesn't show by the pictures above. The previous leak showed it in cyan flavor so we could see it in different skins.

Nokia C2-02, C2-03 and C2-06 trio of feature phones

Nokia Series 40 just got smarter, folks. The latest additions to the feature phone portfolio of the Finnish giant are bound to narrow the gap between smart and dumb phones. With a set of new features which were previously reserved for the segment of the premium phones, and a low price tag, the C2 trio of phones which starts with the dual-SIM, Touch and Type Nokia C2-03 is bound to make a serious splash in its target markets.

Now on with the specs. Nokia's creation has taken the dual-SIM functionality to a whole new level with the Easy Swap feature. It allows the user to quickly change SIM cards through a slot on the side of the phone with no need for a reboot. The phone can remember the settings of up to five different SIM cards.

Like we mentioned before, there is also a touch screen and a sliding numeric keyboard available on the device. The touch screen has 240x320 resolution and supports up to 65K colors.

There is a 2 megapixel camera on the back of the phone and 10MB of built in memory, which can be expanded to 32GB via microSD cards. The standby time of the phone is quoted at 400 hours, while the talk time is 5 hours. There is a radio and a music player on board too.

And now the major novelties to Series 40. The Nokia C2-03 has a brand new version of Nokia Maps preloaded. It allows users to search for locations while offline as well, saving them possible data charges from their operator. The latest Nokia Browser for Series 40 is also part of the phone's software. It compresses the data and provides a faster and more cost-efficient web browsing experience.

All this premium-ish functionality is tucked into a nicely looking, 118g package which costs a very affordable €77 before any taxes and subsidies. While the features may not sound like much, it is important to note that Nokia will target mainly the developing markets with the C2-03, where having an unlimited data plan and a smartphone to use it on is an expensive pleasure. Having a Nokia C2-03 will enable people to get a taste of premium phone services without the high price tag.

The Nokia C2-03 will have two additional flavors. For those who don't need the dual-SIM functionality, there will be the previously leaked Nokia C2-02. The phone looks the exact same but supports only one SIM card.
