Phone news, previews and reviews.

Infosync also published a review of palms tungsten w (perhaps not really a phone, but you can use it for voice calls).
Third, there’s a preview of samsungs sgh-d700 (samsungs first series60 device) with nice hi-res pics, again @infosync.

Nokia 3650 review
@infosync.
New Zire and Tungsten models?
Rumors appeared that palm will introduce a new tungsten c and a new zire model in the near future. I somehow doubt the rumor about a wifi-device with the tungsten w form-factor, but i really like the idea of a new high-end, consumer-targeted zire with integrated digicam. Heck, i like any device with an integrated digicam…
CeBIT: New technologies
Two new articles @mobile review feature some great new technologies: siemens showed a flexible display that can be easily rolled up and mitsubishi introduced a new concept smartphone and other futuristic devices.
Still more CeBIT coverage

New PalmOS messaging device
It’s obviously placed competitively against rims blackberry-devices. Few details are known yet: it’s a palm os 5 device with grayscale screen, integrated querty-thumbboard and 8 mb ram, connected via weblink wireless’ reflex network. Nothing special imho, even palm i705 and treo 180 seem more advanced, but i didn’t get this blackberry-hype, either. Get all the available details @pic, @infosync.
