myTouch 3G has 3.2-inch display with 320×480 pixel, 3.5G support, Wifi, GPS and 3M pixel camera autofocus. The colors available in 3: red, black and white. It will be available on US from August but will not sell on Europe because Vodafone has exclusive distribution to sell HTC Magic which is the same as myTouch 3G.

T-Mobile myTouch 3G Phone

It’s a glossier, looking device smarter than the 6120 and it looks very similar to the upcoming Nokia 6220. This is an HSDPA Smartphone with 2 million pixels, flash camera more, in memory expandable microSD (up to 8GB), a 2 “240 x 320 pixels, FM radio and Bluetooth. We would have hoped that Nokia could have improved the camera, but overall The 6124 is based on the well, 6120 and it will offer most of the features that anyone could want.

Nokia 6124 Classic Edition Phone

BlackBerry 8707v is the first 3G BlackBerry device to market. It’s a derivative of the ubiquitous BlackBerry 8700 series of devices, and it appears to have the same functionality as the 8700, just with added support for UMTS 2100 3G data.

There are limitations with the 8707v though. There’s no WiFi, unlike some recent messaging devices, nor is there any expandable memory (internal memory comprises of 64Mb of Flash memory plus 16Mb dynamic RAM). There’s no MP3 player or camera either. Of course, many businesses actually want these limitations as it makes the device simpler to manage.

For your information, the “v” in “8707v” indicates that this is a Vodafone device. Vodafone Germany are the first region to announce that they will have the 8707v available in the very near future (hence the QWERTZ keyboard pictured). It’s likely that other operators will follow suit, but because this is a UMTS 2100 device it won’t work with 3G in North America (although like the other 8700 series devices, it’s a quad-band GSM phone too).

BlackBerry 8707v specification:
Network: UMTS 2100 + Quad-band GSM
Data: UMTS 2100 + GPRS + EDGE
Screen: 320×240 pixels, 65,000 colours
Camera: No
Size: PDA-style device, 110×70x20mm / 136 grams (approx)
Bluetooth: Yes
Memory card: Yes
Infra-red: No
Polyphonic: Yes
Java: Yes
Battery life: Not specified

With the other 8700 series BlackBerries, the 8707v comes with a 320×240 pixel display, a web browser, PIM functions and Bluetooth. It goes without saying that the BlackBerry 8707v supports standard internet email protocols and BlackBerry push email.. ah well, we just said it. It can also view a variety of document formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect and Adobe PDF files but now the 8707v can download these attachments much more quickly.

Of course, when paired with a notebook, the 3G BlackBerry 8707v can act as a pretty respectable modem. It’s still an awkward sort of shape and format to use with a phone, but then a Bluetooth headset will help a little in this respect.

BlackBerry 8707v 3G Ready

There is something slightly interesting about the Vodafone 710 which is that it’s made by Huawei Mobile of China, and it’s the first time we’ve seen a Huawei handset launched as a mainstream European phone.

Technical specification of the Vodafone 710 that is inspiring – it’s a 3G phone with a 176×220 pixel display, 1.3 megapixel camera and mini-SD removable memory. There’s an MP3 player, Bluetooth, a web browser and email client and the Vodafone 710 comes in at a reasonable 99 grams. It’s a fairly smart looking handset, and it looks like it’s not going to be expensive either with a 64Mb memory card in the box too.

Vodafone V710 specification:
Network: GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100
Data: GPRS + UMTS (3G)
Screen: 176×220 pixels, 262k colours (main)
Camera: 1.3 megapixels (main)
Size: Medium clamshell Size tbc / 99 grams
Bluetooth: Yes
Memory card: mini SD
Infra-red: No
Polyphonic: Yes
Java: Yes
Battery life: 3 hours talk / 9 days standby

The Vodafone 710 is simply a cheap device from a third-tier Chinese manufacturer which will probably be perfectly acceptable as a cheap 3G phone, but you have to question Vodafone’s commitment to the 3G platform when this is the sort of thing they churn out.

Vodafone V710 the 3G Cellphone

The BlackBerry’s manufacturers RIM have successfully pushed out variants of the 8700 into many major markets. Although primarily sold as the 8700g, there are also network specific versions for Rogers of Canada (8700c), Orange and subsidiaries (8700f) and Vodafone and partners (8700v). The differences between the models appear to be mainly styling and software.

The 8700 and 7290 are about the same size, but significantly the 8700 is narrower at 110×70x20mm compared to 113×75x22mm for the 7290. This makes it slightly more practical to fit the 8700 in a pocket. The more compact size sounds great – but it comes at a price. The keyboard layout on the BlackBerry 7290 and previous models (based on a design going back to 1999 or so on the RIM 850) is hard to beat. The keyboard on the 8700 is considerably more cramped, and users of the older style keypad might find some difficulty adjusting. On the plus side, the 8700 now has “send”, “mute” and “end” keys.

The 8700’s screen is amazing though – it’s a 320×240 pixel panel in 65,000 colours compared to the 240×160 pixel display on the 7290. It’s very similar to the display on the BlackBerry 7100 series – it’s a very sharp, very bright display that uses a backlight all the time while in use, compared to the 7290’s transflective display that rarely needed a backlight at all. The 8700’s display certainly looks more impressive, but the screen on the 7290 used virtually no power and it could be used in almost all lighting conditions.

These are all Bluetooth capable devices, which is an improvement over most earlier BlackBerry handhelds. Handsets of this type just do not make good mobile telephones, so a Bluetooth headset is a great help. All the 8700s support quad-band GSM, GPRS and EDGE, but not 3G or WiFi which puts them at a disadvantage compared to the (very late) Nokia E61.

The interface on the 8700 series has been changed.. it’s certainly more snazzy, but on the 8700g it’s just too snazzy. The 7290’s interface was simple and clear, the standard design on the 8700g is rather manic.. although it is possible to change themes and download new ones, depending on the operator. By default, the 8700c, 8700f and 8700v seem to be more usable.

BlackBerry 8700 series specification:
Network: Quad-band GSM
Data: GPRS + EDGE
Screen: 320×240 pixels, 65k colours
Camera: No
Size: PDA-style device 110×70x20mm / 136 grams
Bluetooth: Yes
Memory card: micro SD
Infra-red: No
Polyphonic: Yes
Java: Yes
Battery life: 4 hours talk / 16 days standby

There’s no expandable memory, MP3 player or camera. These are either good or bad things depending on your point of view, but in our opinion an MP3 player and memory slot would be nice.

The undercarriage gave us a forecast of undercarriage KU990, also with the somewhat idiotic name of the Viewty undercarriage – a telephone of camera of 5.1 megapixel with an objective of Schneider Kreuznach and advanced possibilities of formation image. Before undercarriage KU990 has a large touch screen, similar to the undercarriage LG Prada.

The captures visual on the Viewty undercarriage is up to 120 fps (reinforcements a second) – this is twice the rate of reinforcement of a HDTV and frankly why no matter who needs this kind of rate of reinforcement is a mystery. We are not sure what is the visual resolution of capture on the KU990, but it will have to be at least the Pixel 640×480 to compete with Nokia N95.

Full design features of the KU990 Viewty will be announced at the end of the month, but up to now we know that the camera of 5.1 megapixel comes with a flash, electronic stabilization of image, photograph publishing and simple-click to download in YouTube.

“U” in KU990 should indicate that it is a device 3G, and you can reasonably intend to see a player of multi-media, the web browser, the customer of email and all devices usual. You can without risk suppose that KU990/Viewty will compete with N95 directly, where the undercarriage have the advantage of a touch screen but are not very likely to have the GPS. To be honest, we would earlier have the screen of the undercarriage for the use of day in day.
