While this sounds like just about as strange a name that Nokia could come up with, the rumor train has dubbed the iPhone look-a-like the iPerformer. Personally I am thinking this one has to be false, having an iPhone competitor named the iPerformer sounds like they are just asking for trouble.

This handset has been a long time in the making, the pic alone is courtesy of an image from the GoPlay event that was held back in August of 2007. Along with the vague rumor of a name, the images are just not available and the known specs are just as elusive. The iPerformer, as we can tell from the picture feature a widescreen display, which appears by the lack of buttons to be touchscreen based. It is also rumored to feature NaviScroll, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a QWERTY keyboard as well as an FM radio and FM transmitter.

Just as light as the rest of the details, the price and any possible release date are still a mystery. Wow, such a cool looking and potentially promising phone that we first saw about 9 months ago, with so few details.

We can hardly confirm anything — Sony Ericsson is naturally quite about rumors — but Semcblog posted some very interesting information from the official Sony Ericsson website. Apparently, the Swedish-Japanese handset maker will take more time than originally envisioned to release the XPERIA X1 smartphone. According to the mentioned blog, we’ll have to wait for the first quarter of next year in order to buy the XPERIA X1. And while we’re kinda sad to learn this — even though this is everything bu the official information — I would remind you we’ve waited for quite some time to see the P990i released. I don’t mind waiting bit more as long as the final product provides me with great out-of-box experience. If you remember, initially the Sony Ericsson P990i had a number of stability issues which even made some people stop buying SE phones.

In the other news, the same source says R300 will start selling on September 29, while the R306 will be released on June 21st.

Cell Phones

Believe it or not, cell phones have a longer history then the radio. Cell phones started off in the 1920’s and radios were first used in 1921. Some of the cell phone features were used in radios way back in the 1940’s. Police used these radios.

The idea of the cellular phone was developed in 1947 as a mobile car phone. Bell Laboratories (also known as Bell Labs and formerly known as AT&T Bell Laboratories and Bell Telephone Laboratories) produced the concept of the cellular phone by introducing cells for mobile phone base stations.

Russell Ohl developed the photovoltaic cell (a device that converts light energy into electrical energy.) In 1943, Bell developed SIGSALY (also known as the X System, Project X, Ciphony I, and the Green Hornet), the first digital scrambled speech transmission system used in World War II for the highest-level Allied communications. SIGSALY is not an acronym. It was intended to look like an acrynim but it was just a cover name. SIG was common in Army Signal Corps names. The prototype was called Green Hornet because it sounded like a buzzing hornet to anyone trying to eavesdrop on the conversation.

Motorola has a long history of making automotive radio, especially two-way radios for taxicabs and police cruisers. The first actual cell phone was invented in 1973 by Martin Cooper of Motorola and other assisting inventors. It was called the “radio telephone system.” He used the idea of the car phone and applied the technology required to make a portable cell phone a reality.

In April 3, 1973, Cooper was the first person to make a call on a portable cell phone on to the amazement of the people walking on a New York City street. That first call was made on the first Motorola DynaTAC prototype to the head of research, Joel Engel, of the AT&T Bell Lab. This caused the technology and communications market to shift away from the place and toward the person. Cooper’s vision for personal wireless communications was born.

In 1978, Bell Labs introduced the first commercial cellular network in Chicago using AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System). This was an analog mobile phone system. It became the primary analog mobile phone system in North America and is still widely available today, although it’s used much less since the introduction of various digital standards.

Cell phones were first made available to the public in 1984 although they were very large, expensive instruments. The Federal Communications Commission worked together with AT&T and Bell Towers to establish broadcast towers. The towers were small with little power and covered a “cell” that was actually only a few miles in radius but could cover a larger area. Towers allowed calls to transfer from tower to tower.

On a side note, today Cell phone GPS is becoming very popular worldwide.

We’ve already posted some details about the upcoming Samsung i900 superphone. Apparently, the new device may be first introduced during the Mobile World Congress, but we’ll have to wait for September to see it hitting the store shelves. In addition, according to PhoneMag, it may not run Windows Mobile after all — making us think which mobile OS Samsung will use. Perhaps the S60 Touch? Now that’s me speculating, but the timing just seems right. On the other hand, Samsung may decide to run its proprietary Croix interface which they already use on F490, F700, U940. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the former option, though.

In the meantime you should know that the image on the left has nothing to do with Samsung’s design department. It’s only a mockup prepared by MobiFrance…

Wow, never thought we’d see the day that an iDEN handset came along that lacked that distinct iDENness. Motorola will definitely set that marketplace on fire if this beautifully RAZR 2-esque thing actually proves to be real, check out the frickin external screen on this thing! Featuring a 3 megapixel camera, external touch screen — we’re not positive if this only refers to the controls pictured above — Bluetooth, support for up to a 6 GB SD card, and have we mentioned how glorious the whole thing looks? Look for this to land Q4 this year, that is, if it ever gets out of Photoshop the design room. Color us pretty unsure until we hear more.

Here she is, we brought you the specs yesterday, to summarize: 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA, 120 grams, 57 x 112 x 10 mm, now here is the actual device:

Notice the absence of the Symbian key, similar to the E51 it is now a home key. The buttons look Treo like, due to their raised nature. Whoever took this picture has balls, that looks like the inside of a Nokia building. All this device needs to be perfect is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, just like RIM has on their BlackBerry lineup, something tells me it isn’t going to happen, sigh.

BenQ Siemens churned out some interesting handsets in their final days as a legit manufacturer. One of our favorites was the BenQ Siemens SL98 reverse slider - rather than sliding the screen upwards to reveals a keypad (like the more traditional sliders that we’ve seen), the screen pops up out of the body.

Now, you won’t be able to grab a BenQ Siemens phone from the defunct company, but this here BenQ Siemens SL98 popped up on eBay’s German site. The auction has, sadly, already ended - but it’s nice to see that the prototype will live on and carry the BenQ Siemen legacy into the future.

Aside from the unique form-factor, the BenQ Siemens packed in a lowly  a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, and QVGA display - so there isn’t much to be desired. Still, it would have been cool to have show off this one-of-a-kind handset at our next office Holiday-party.

If we’re reading this correctly, the Motorola RIZR Z6c has both GSM and CDMA, meaning you can take this phone from CDMA networks in the States (Sprint/Verizon) onto GSM networks all over the world (or onto AT&T/T-Mobile). The phone’s just hit the FCC so we’re not sure what Motorola’s plans for this are in terms of carrier distribution other than Verizon, but we do know it has EV-DO rev. 0, so that may be a hint as to which providers this is heading to (maybe Sprint?). World phones are becoming more and more popular—see BlackBerry 8830—so it means Moto wants to get in on this James Bond globe-trekking market as well.

And the onslaught of pink electronics continues. Just in time for the holiday shopping season, here is the Sony Ericsson W580i in Metro Pink. We already know that a handset like this will appeal to the ladies, but with the word “metro” in its name, you’ve got to wonder if Sony Ericsson is targeting folks like David Beckham too. Somehow I have a hard time imagining Becks carrying a pink phone.

No word on pricing or availability, but without a service provider picking up the pink wonder on our side of the pond, I’m thinking the only way to get your hands on a Metro Pink Sony Ericsson W580i slider phone is through importers and other gray market means.

 We’re glad to see Motorola starting to claw their way back to their days as a leader in the mobile industry. Moto just secured a significant portion of the top ten 3G handsets sold in the US this past Q3 2007, and they’re not going to just sit back and bask (which is the mistake they made with their initial successes in the Moto RAZR V3) in their achievements. Motorola has announced that they’ll be running a blitz on the mobile space by pushing some 20-30 handsets onto the market in 2008.

While Motorola sits pretty as the 3rd largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, their stance in Taiwan only measures up to a ho-hum 4th place. Motorola is gunning for the top-spot in the Taiwanese market with this new handset blitz. Bill Chen, newly appointed general manager of mobile device business at Motorola Taiwan, said that “In the coming year, Motorola will also stress strengthening its relations with channel partners in Taiwan and to pursue a balance between sales volume and profitability while gearing up efforts to boost performance.”

If you’re looking forward to Motorola’s Android-based handsets, you might want to make yourself comfortable - as there’s no set timetable for the release of Moto’s new OHA-compliant handset. But, with about two handsets launching every month, Taiwan is going to get their fill of non-Android Motorola mobile phones.
