Nokia to get Snapdragon processor?
March 18, 2010
There is a very real possibility of seeing a 1GHz Snapdragon processor inside a Nokia handset, thanks to one of Nokia's top executives, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. According to him, “Qualcomm definitely is a potential partner going forward. The companies did fight a expanded date in court, and now we see them as a potential partner.” Now, the speedy Snapdragon processor is one of Qualcomm's great asset, so a similarly powered Nokia phone down the road should not be ruled out just yet.

HTC HD3 Leak Seems Rather Fake
March 16, 2010
A supposed leak of the HTC HD3 has surfaced, but whether you take a few minutes to go through the technical specifications of the device, you’ll probably come to the conclusion that that device isn’t real. Not that we’re denying the possibility of a HD3, but that device certainly isn’t it. While it certainly looks pretty, it sports a resolution of 1280x800, despite Microsoft only supporting 800x480 when Windows Phone 7 Series is launched at the end of the year; it plus sports just 1GB of on-board storage, which is insanely low, not to mention that Windows Phone 7 Series requests for a minimum of 8GB on-board storage. Finally, the 32GB of expandable memory is additionally a no go, as Microsoft doesn’t allow expandable memory on Windows 7 Series devices. Still, the specifications do look rather nice, aside from the 1GB on-board storage, in case you want to dream a bit. Specifications include:
- 4.5” AMOLED screen with 1280×800 resolution
- 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
- 1080p HD video playback
- 720p HD video recording
- 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash
- Multi-touch screen
- Super-thin – just 10mm thick
- WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity
- 4G connectivity
- 1GB onboard RAM
- 1GB onboard storage
- 32GB external memory
- 3.5” headphone jack
- HDMI output for connecting to your HDTV or monitor
- 1800mAh battery
- Size: 115mm x 65mm x 10mm

Cool A6161 clones HTC Magic
March 1, 2010
Here is yet another clone of the HTC Magic, where that clone is known as the Cool A6161. Not precisely the most stunning name to grace the market, but it does seem to get the job done pretty well. Boasting multi-touch support as well as Android 1.6 running, that is the first among clones to do so. Features include a 528MHz QualComm MSM7201A processor, a 3.2" HVGA capacitive touchscreen, 192MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi connectivity and a 1,200mAh battery to keep it going. No notion on how much you've got to fork out for one of these though, but being a clone it can't be as expensive as the original.

Nokia could be working on Snapdragon-based Symbian phone
February 18, 2010
Word has it that Nokia and Qualcomm have teamed up to work on a new Symbian-powered smartphone that will run on a Snapdragon processor, making Nokia handsets speedier than ever with at least a 1GHz clock speed running within the chassis. It seems that that new smartphone will hit the North American market sometime in the middle of that year, and frankly we are quite excited to see what both Nokia and Qualcomm has in store for us. Will that be able to rejuvenate the Symbian platform that is lagging behind the iPhone OS and Android in terms of ease-of-use?
