Filed under: LG , Motorola , Nokia , Samsung , Sony Ericsson , Accessories Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, LG, and Sony Ericsson probably don't see eye-to-eye on very many topics, but thankfully, they can all agree that Planet Earth is worth saving (or, at the very least, they can all agree that getting hated on by Greenpeace sucks). The five handset juggernauts have announced a common five-star rating system for phone chargers, making it easier for buyers to figure out which chargers consume the least energy; adapters that have features like automatic standby when the phone is finished charging will be awarded higher ratings. Nokia's been saying for some time that a ridiculous amount of energy is wasted every year by chargers that are idling their watts away plugged into fully-charged phones, so this could be a major step toward getting charger manufacturers to produce more advanced models en masse.

I was trying to think the other day of a Multiplayer Mobile Game that I’ve played consistently over an Operator’s wireless (2G or 3G) network - and I couldn’t think of any! I then tried to think of multiplayer games on Mobile that I’ve played over Bluetooth - and one came to mind immediately - Battleships [...]

Filed under: Handsets , Others , GSM Strategic advantages Sany Ericssan holds over Sony Ericsson: A quarterly sales volume measured in the hundreds is considered a rousing success. Neither Sany nor Ericssan have any intention of pulling out of the joint venture. "Outsourcing" of industrial design saves time, money, and staff. None of those pesky Windows Mobile licensing fees to worry about. GPRS data speed isn't a problem -- it's a way of life.

Ericsson AB, the European half of the Sony Ericsson joint-venture, has big plans for the phones that will come out in the next few years. How would you like a handset that features the following: a XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) display, a 12 to 20 MP camera, full HD video recording, LTE connectivity for up [...]

Filed under: Handsets , Sony Ericsson It's tough to predict the future, especially with cutbacks to R&D budgets in the face of a global economic slowdown. Still, it's always nice to see a forward-looking corporate-slide related to mobile handsets from the taller, blonder half of that Sony Ericsson partnership. LTE and fast CPUs are certainly no surprise, nor is that 1,024 x 768 XGA screen resolution that Japan's superphones are already bumping up against . The most compelling vision is that of the embedded camera sensors: 12-20 megapixels capable of recording Full HD video by 2012. Adding more fuel to firey speculation that handsets are about to find themselves embroiled in a megapixel war . Fine by us, just as long the optics and image processing are there to support such a resolution. Even though 12-20 megapixels seems high compared to the 5-8 megapixel cell phones we see today, those numbers are entirely within reason when you recall that Samsung hit 10 megapixels in Korea two years ago. In fact, we wouldn't be suprised in the least to find Ericsson's mythical device on the market well prior to 2012. Combined, these features certainly make for a tantalizing glimpse at the wireless handset future.
