While Research in Motion is mostly known as a business brand mobile phone manufacturer, the fact that they are still one of the top phone manufacturers in the general smart phone market is a strong statement to how well their devices are made.
Some might argue that the presence of the physical keyboard will always draw a specific niche for BlackBerry smart phones; but the existence of the Storm 3 contests that statement.
Initial images of the BlackBerry Storm 3 reveal that the initial rumors about the handset are actually true; this smart phone is actually a full touch screen device.
We already know that BlackBerry’s OS 6 has been designed specifically for capacitive touch screen displays, and that the focus on media and social network was done in order to create a more mainstream appeal for the people.
The leaked images showcased both the 3.7 inch touch screen display and the portrait oriented slide out keyboard. The phone is also reported to be packing 512 MB of RAM, a 5 mega pixel camera and support for WiFi and 3G.
HTC has a couple of quick updates for everyone. First off, there is the HTC Desire HD which showcases the future of the Sense user interface. The new look is certainly much nicer and neater to look at and the controls are now a lot more intuitive in design. The fact that this updated version of Sense also packs a remote access security feature also helps a lot.
The HTC Mozart was also revealed in a small video that showed off new features for the Windows Phone 7 OS. From what we can tell, the video was showcasing the new home screen of the OS, the People tab and messaging/exchange functions on the handset. The phone is said to be packing an 8 mega pixel snapper, a 3.7 inch touch screen and a 1GHz CPU.
